Interplay between T3SS effectors, ExoY activation, and cGMP signaling in Pseudomonas aeruginosa infection
Abstract ExoY is a nucleotidyl cyclase, secreted by the Pseudomonas aeruginosa type 3 secretion system (T3SS), which generates various cyclic nucleotides within host cells, predominantly cGMP. How ExoY-catalyzed cNMPs production contributes to the infection process remains unclear. Using recombinant P. aeruginosa strains expressing ExoY variants with different substrate specificities, we identified that ExoY-derived cGMP modulates the cytotoxicity of ExoT, a co-injected T3SS exotoxin.
Genome sequences of equine influenza A subtype H3N8 viruses by long read sequencing and functional characterization of the PB1-F2 virulence factor of A/equine/Paris/1/2018
Abstract Equine influenza virus (EIV) remains a persistent threat to equines, despite the availability of vaccines. Currently, strategies to monitor the virus and prevent any potential vaccine failure revolve around serological assays, RT‒qPCR amplification, and sequencing the viral hemagglutinin (HA) and neuraminidase (NA) genes. These approaches overlook the contribution of other viral proteins in driving virulence.
Functional and structural insights into the multi-step activation and catalytic mechanism of bacterial ExoY nucleotidyl cyclase toxins bound to actin-profilin
Abstract ExoY virulence factors are members of a family of bacterial nucleotidyl cyclases (NCs) that are activated by specific eukaryotic cofactors and overproduce cyclic purine and pyrimidine nucleotides in host cells. ExoYs are actin-activated NC toxins.
