    Epigenetics and chromatin structure regulate var2csa expression and the placental-binding phenotype in Plasmodium falciparum

    Todd Lenz, Madle Sirel ... Ulf Ribacke
    Placenta-binding parasites show that chromatin-based mechanisms regulate placental malaria virulence gene, var2csa, and requires loss of H3K9me3-mediated heterochromatic silencing and 3D nuclear repositioning away from telomeric-repressive clusters.

    Synaptotagmin 1 and Synaptotagmin 7 promote MR1-mediated presentation of Mycobacterium tuberculosis antigens

    Se-Jin Kim, Jessie C Peterson ... David Lewinsohn
    Synaptotagmin 1 and Synaptotagmin 7 promote MAIT cell activation during Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection by facilitating MR1 trafficking and antigen presentation.

    Single-cell RNA-seq reveals trans-sialidase-like superfamily gene expression heterogeneity in Trypanosoma cruzi populations

    Lucas Inchausti, Lucia Bilbao ... Pablo Smircich
    Transcriptomic heterogeneity in infective-stage surface proteins of Trypanosoma cruzi, particularly trans-sialidase-like superfamily members, suggests distinct expression profiles among individual parasites that may enhance immune evasion and infection adaptability.

    Peptidoglycan recycling is critical for cell division, cell wall integrity, and β-lactam resistance in Caulobacter crescentus

    Pia Richter, Anna Merz ... Martin Thanbichler
    Peptidoglycan recycling is essential for proper cell growth and intrinsic ampicillin resistance in Caulobacter crescentus, highlighting PG recycling enzymes as potential antibacterial targets.

    A conserved mycobacterial nucleomodulin hijacks the host COMPASS complex to reprogram pro-inflammatory transcription and promote intracellular survival

    Liu Chen, Baojie Duan ... Aizhen Guo
    Mycobacterium tuberculosis deploys nucleomodulins to suppress COMPASS-dependent H3K4 methylation, dampening pro-inflammatory gene expression to enhance intracellular survival and uncovering an epigenetic immune-evasion strategy.
