A single mycobacterial ligand organizes multi-receptor signaling to reprogram macrophage lipid metabolism

Dhrubajyoti Nag, Joycelyn Radeny, Jin Cui, Omair Vehra, Yan. Ju Yu, Jérôme Nigou, Samantha L. Bell, Maria Laura Gennaro

This paper shows that the mycobacterial ligand ManLAM uses structural features to engage TLR2 and Dectin-2, reprogramming macrophage lipid metabolism and promoting foam cell formation.

Bala T.S.A. Madduri, Omair Vehra, Ahri Han, Joycelyn Radeny, Carlos Resstel, Samantha L. Bell

This paper identifies PE5, a Mycobacterium tuberculosis effector protein, as interacting with the host CRL2 ubiquitin ligase complex, modulating its activity without being ubiquitinated itself.
