A secreted effector with a dual role as a toxin and as a transcriptional factor

Bacteria can deliver toxic effector proteins into the cytosol of neighboring cells. Here, the authors show that Yersinia pseudotuberculosis secretes an effector that modulates gene expression in neighboring cells of the same species and inhibits the growth of other competitors.

Sensing of autoinducer-2 by functionally distinct receptors in prokaryotes

The small molecule AI-2 acts as a quorum sensing signal, mediating communication within and between many bacterial species. Here, the authors identify a new type of AI-2 receptor, consisting of a dCACHE domain that is present in many bacterial and archaeal proteins.

Kinases Mst1 and Mst2 positively regulate phagocytic induction of reactive oxygen species and bactericidal activity

Mitochondria must be juxtaposed to phagosomes to supply reactive oxygen species for effective killing of microbes. Zhou and colleagues demonstrate that the kinases Mst1 and Mst2 are important for controlling this redistribution of mitochondria.
