The antagonistic transcription factors, EspM and EspN, regulate the ESX-1 secretion system in M. marinum

K. R. Nicholson, R. M. Cronin, R. J. Prest, A. R. Menon, Y. Yang, M. K. Jennisch, M. Champion, D. M. Tobin, P. A. Champion

This study identifies EspN as a critical transcription factor regulating the ESX-1 system in M. marinum, which is essential for macrophage infection and disease burden, but its activity is masked by EspM under laboratory conditions.

The EspN transcription factor is an infection-dependent regulator of the ESX-1 system in M. marinum

K. R. Nicholson, R. M. Cronin, A. R. Menon, M. K. Jennisch, D. M. Tobin, P. A. Champion

This study identifies EspN as an infection-dependent transcription factor that regulates ESX-1 gene expression during mycobacterial infection, but not under standard lab conditions.

Horizontal transfer of prokaryotic cytolethal distending toxin B genes to eukaryotes

K. I. Verster, J. H. Wisecaver, R. P. Duncan, M. Karageorgi, A. D. Gloss, E. Armstrong, D. K. Price, A. R. Menon, Z. M. Ali, N. K. Whiteman

The paper reports the horizontal transfer of the cdtB gene, encoding a DNase, from bacteriophages to eukaryotic insect genomes, where it retains DNase activity and may serve as a defensive mechanism against parasitoid wasps.
