    Multimodal HLA-I genotype regulation by human cytomegalovirus US10 and resulting surface patterning

    Carolin Gerke, Liane Bauersfeld ... Anne Halenius
    Analysis of human cytomegalovirus-encoded glycoprotein US10 targeting human leucocyte antigen class I molecules reveals a multimodal strategy, resulting in a geno- and allotypic-dependent effects.

    Tribbles1 is host protective during in vivo mycobacterial infection

    Ffion R Hammond, Amy Lewis ... Philip M Elks
    The pseudokinase Tribbles1 is expressed in human monocytes after mycobacterial challenge and can be manipulated to be host protective against mycobacterial infection, due to control of innate immune cell function, in a zebrafish tuberculosis model.

    Potassium-mediated bacterial chemotactic response

    Chi Zhang, Rongjing Zhang, Junhua Yuan
    Escherichia coli exhibits sensitive chemotaxis to potassium, mediated by differential responses of Tar and Tsr chemoreceptors to intracellular pH changes induced by potassium concentration gradients.

    Bacterial vampirism mediated through taxis to serum

    Siena J Glenn, Zealon Gentry-Lear ... Arden Baylink
    Enteric bacteria associated with bloodstream infections are attracted to human serum through L-serine and the chemoreceptor Tsr, and in an enterohemorrhagic lesion model use chemotaxis to invade damaged vasculature.
