A block to more potent and specific release of HIV from latency has been identified as a subunit of the Integrator complex, which may aid strategies for HIV cure.

The novel divisome complex of Chlamydia trachomatis contains elements of the divisome and elongasome from other bacteria, and it requires the chromosomal translocase, FtsK, for its assembly.

Linalool demonstrates dual antimicrobial and immunomodulatory actions against Saprolegnia parasitica.

Putrescine has a homeostatic network that controls pili synthesis and energy metabolism.

Genetically diverse Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex strains induce a gamut of human granulomatous responses in vitro, with a role for IL-1β in aggregate formation.

The genome-wide transcriptional regulatory network in Pseudomonas syringae demonstrates the regulatory diversity and functional pathways.

The central nitrogen-metabolite 2-oxoglutarate directly promotes glutamine synthetase activity by inducing its dodecameric assembly and priming the active sites, representing a novel mechanism of regulation.

Analysis of inflammasome responses in human macrophages reveals that inflammatory caspases and pyroptotic factors control Salmonella replication primarily within the cytosol and also within vacuoles.
