    Quorum-sensing agr system of Staphylococcus aureus primes gene expression for protection from lethal oxidative stress

    Magdalena Podkowik, Andrew I Perault ... Bo Shopsin
    A new framework for examining tolerance in the context of quorum-sensing that may ultimately help predict and manage bacterial tolerance and, therefore, improve clinical outcome during infection.

    Genetically engineered mesenchymal stem cells as a nitric oxide reservoir for acute kidney injury therapy

    Haoyan Huang, Meng Qian ... Zongjin Li
    Engineered mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) could produce mutant β-galactosidase and trigger nitric oxide (NO) release when the NO prodrug is systemically administered, which can achieve NO release in a precise spatiotemporal manner and augment the therapeutic efficiency of MSCs.

    Biosensor-integrated transposon mutagenesis reveals rv0158 as a coordinator of redox homeostasis in Mycobacterium tuberculosis

    Somnath Shee, Reshma T Veetil ... Amit Singh
    Genome-scale integration of transposon mutagenesis with a redox biosensor identified a hypothetical transcription factor- Rv0158 required to calibrate the growth, cytoplasmic redox potential, and respiration of Mycobacterium tuberculosis in response to metabolic switching from glucose to fatty acids.

    APE1 recruits ATRIP to ssDNA in an RPA-dependent and -independent manner to promote the ATR DNA damage response

    Yunfeng Lin, Jia Li ... Shan Yan
    Distinct interactions of AP endonuclease 1 with single-stranded DNA gaps and ATRIP and RPA protein complex address an outstanding question in the field of genome integrity regarding how ATR/ATRIP complex recruits onto damage site for ATR DNA damage response signaling.

    Evolution and regulation of microbial secondary metabolism

    Guillem Santamaria, Chen Liao ... Joao B Xavier
    Strains of the bacterium Pseudomonas aeruginosa that use secondary metabolism to make surfactants and change the surface tension of the liquid that surrounds them do so only if they can first meet their primary metabolic needs.

    Neuronal temperature perception induces specific defenses that enable C. elegans to cope with the enhanced reactivity of hydrogen peroxide at high temperature

    Francesco A Servello, Rute Fernandes ... Javier Apfeld
    C. elegans nematodes can assess faithfully the threat that H2O2 poses by coupling the induction of their H2O2 defenses to the perception of high temperature—an inherent enhancer of the reactivity of H2O2.

    Group II truncated haemoglobin YjbI prevents reactive oxygen species-induced protein aggregation in Bacillus subtilis

    Takeshi Imai, Ryuta Tobe ... Hisaaki Mihara
    The repair of oxidatively damaged proteins by the newly discovered activity in YjbI is important for the adaptation of Bacillus subtilis to oxidative environments.
