Natural statistics of host odours predict species-specific olfactory behaviours in Drosophilids

Hui Gong, Zofia Ziolkowska, Mohammed A. Khallaf, Sînziana Pop, Oscar Ayrton, Xavier Cano-Ferrer, James I. MacRae, Markus Knaden, J. Roman Arguello, Lucia L. Prieto-Godino

The paper shows that Drosophila species prefer odour components most distinctive in their natural host blends, revealing that olfactory behaviours exploit the statistical structure of odour environments.

The Porphyromonas gingivalis lipid A 1-phosphatase LpxE has unique features and requires a functional type IX secretion system for its activity

Sunjun Wang, Yichao Liu, Beichang Zhang, Joseph Aduse‐Opoku, Roberto Buccafusca, Oscar Ayrton, Giulia Mastroianni, Pedro Machado, Mark A. J. Roberts, Michael A. Curtis, James A. Garnett

This study investigates the role of T9SS OMPs in OMV biogenesis and shows that LpxE, a lipid A 1-phosphatase, requires these proteins for activity and correct vesicle formation.
