    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.

    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.

    Altering the redox status of Chlamydia trachomatis directly impacts its developmental cycle progression

    Vandana Singh, Scot P Ouellette
    Differentiation of the pathogenic bacterium, Chlamydia trachomatis, from its non-infectious to infectious form is linked to the redox state of the organism.

    A tryparedoxin-coupled biosensor reveals a mitochondrial trypanothione metabolism in trypanosomes

    Samantha Ebersoll, Marta Bogacz ... R Luise Krauth-Siegel
    African trypanosomes have a trypanothione-based mitochondrial thiol redox metabolism.

    Tryparedoxin peroxidase-deficiency commits trypanosomes to ferroptosis-type cell death

    Marta Bogacz, R Luise Krauth-Siegel
    Ferroptosis is an evolutionary ancient process that is counterbalanced by distant peroxidases, GPx4 in mammals and tryparedoxin peroxidases in trypanosomes, and can be induced at distinct subcellular membranes depending on the individual cell type.

    Changes in ferrous iron and glutathione promote ferroptosis and frailty in aging Caenorhabditis elegans

    Nicole L Jenkins, Simon A James ... Gawain McColl
    As worms age reduced glutathione together with increased ferrous iron increases frailty and leads to ferroptosis, which is amenable to therapeutic intervention.

    The genomes of polyextremophilic cyanidiales contain 1% horizontally transferred genes with diverse adaptive functions

    Alessandro W Rossoni, Dana C Price ... Andreas PM Weber
    Horizontal gene transfer (HGT) analysis in polyextremophile red algae (Cyanidiales) provides explanations for the nonexistence of cumulative effects and eukaryotic pangenomes, and highlights differences between HGT and native genes.

    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.

    Lipid hydroperoxides promote sarcopenia through carbonyl stress

    Hiroaki Eshima, Justin L Shahtout ... Katsuhiko Funai
    Genetic or pharmacological suppression of lipid peroxidation pathway protects skeletal muscle from disuse-induced atrophy and weakness in young and old mice.

    Iron derived from autophagy-mediated ferritin degradation induces cardiomyocyte death and heart failure in mice

    Jumpei Ito, Shigemiki Omiya ... Kinya Otsu
    Iron derived from autophagy-mediated ferritin degradation in response to pressure overload induces lipid peroxidation, necrotic cardiomyocyte death, and heart failure in mice.
