    TAPBPR alters MHC class I peptide presentation by functioning as a peptide exchange catalyst

    Clemens Hermann, Andy van Hateren ... Louise H Boyle
    We reveal TAPBPR is a peptide exchange catalyst which restricts the peptide repertoire presented by MHC I on cells, a finding which has important implications for all aspects of immune recognition.

    Mycolic acid-specific T cells protect against Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection in a humanized transgenic mouse model

    Jie Zhao, Sarah Siddiqui ... Chyung-Ru Wang
    A humanized transgenic mouse model reveals that CD1b-restricted, mycolic acid-specific T cells play a protective role during Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection.

    Attenuation of AMPK signaling by ROQUIN promotes T follicular helper cell formation

    Roybel R Ramiscal, Ian A Parish ... Vicki Athanasopoulos
    The ubiquitin ligase ROQUIN cross-talks with cellular metabolic signals to generate protective T cell-dependent antibody responses.

    Distinct mechanisms define murine B cell lineage immunoglobulin heavy chain (IgH) repertoires

    Yang Yang, Chunlin Wang ... Leonore A Herzenberg
    The B-1a cell heavy chain antibody repertoire differs dramatically from the follicular and marginal zone B cell repertoire and is defined by distinct mechanisms driven by self antigens rather than antigens derived from the microbiota.

    A forward genetic screen reveals novel independent regulators of ULBP1, an activating ligand for natural killer cells

    Benjamin G Gowen, Bryan Chim ... David H Raulet
    Forward genetic screening has provided insight into the molecular mechanisms and stress pathways that promote tumor cell recognition by natural killer cells.

    Perforin-2 is essential for intracellular defense of parenchymal cells and phagocytes against pathogenic bacteria

    Ryan M McCormack, Lesley R de Armas ... Eckhard R Podack
    Perforin-2 deficiency is lethal upon infection with pathogenic bacteria despite the presence of other bactericidal effectors.

    Enteric pathogens deploy cell cycle inhibiting factors to block the bactericidal activity of Perforin-2

    Ryan M McCormack, Kirill Lyapichev ... George P Munson
    Yersinia pseudotuberculosis and enteropathogenic Escherichia coli promote pathogenicity by deamidating the ubiquitin-like protein NEDD8 to block ubiquitin-dependent trafficking of Perforin-2, which is an effector of innate immunity.

    LynA regulates an inflammation-sensitive signaling checkpoint in macrophages

    Tanya S Freedman, Ying X Tan ... Arthur Weiss
    Degradation of kinase LynA protects macrophages from activation unless cells sense a receptor-binding pathogen or inflammation

    Genetic and epigenetic variation in the lineage specification of regulatory T cells

    Aaron Arvey, Joris van der Veeken ... Alexander Y Rudensky
    There is limited epigenetic conservation of lineage-specific DNA elements in Treg cells, and genetic variation in Treg cell specific enhancers is associated with autoimmune disease.

    Establishing the role of ATP for the function of the RIG-I innate immune sensor

    David C Rawling, Megan E Fitzgerald, Anna Marie Pyle
    The immune sensor RIG-I uses ATP-mediated compaction as a signaling trigger and a proofreading mechanism.
