BoviScan: a Phage ImmunoPrecipitation Sequencing library to characterize the antibody response against Mycoplasma bovis.

Yonathan Arfi, Éric Baranowski, Carole Lartigue, Gabriela Prêtre, Christine Citti, Pascal Sirand‐Pugnet

BoviScan is a PhIP-Seq library that maps antibody responses against Mycoplasma bovis, enabling high-throughput and high-resolution analysis of humoral immunity.

An improved CRISPR-base editor tool to target virulence factors in the ruminant pathogen Mycoplasma bovis

Patrick J Hogan, Marc Duclusaud, Thomas Ipoutcha, Carole Lartigue, Géraldine Gourgues, Alain Blanchard, Éric Baranowski, Laure Béven, Yonathan Arfi, Pascal Sirand‐Pugnet, Fabien Rideau

The paper improves a CRISPR-base editor tool for targeting virulence factors in Mycoplasma bovis by enabling multi-loci targeting and expanding targetable loci.

An atypical F-type ATPase is necessary for the function of the antibody cleavage system MIB-MIP in mycoplasmas.

Julien Berlureau, Robin Anger, Emilie Beaulieu, Géraldine Gourgues, Laure Bataille, J. Jaubert, Carole Lartigue, Pascal Sirand‐Pugnet, Yonathan Arfi

The paper shows that an atypical F-type ATPase is required for the MIB-MIP system's function in mycoplasmas to evade immune agglutination.

Nucleoside Binding by a Surface Lipoprotein Governs Conjugative ICE Acquisition in Ruminant Mycoplasmas

M’hamed Derriche, Laurent‐Xavier Nouvel, Calvin Fauvet, Núria Mach, Elisa de Saldanha Simon, Gwendoline Pot, Hortensia Robert, Alexandre Stella, Christian de la Fe, Renaud Maillard, Sergi Torres-Puig, Yonathan Arfi, Christine Citti, Éric Baranowski

This study identifies P48, a surface lipoprotein in Mycoplasma species, as essential for ICE acquisition through nucleoside recognition, challenging the donor-centric view of bacterial conjugation.

Bacterial Conjugation in the Ruminant Pathogen Mycoplasma agalactiae is Influenced by Eukaryotic Host Factors

M’hamed Derriche, Laurent‐Xavier Nouvel, Maria Gaudino, Eveline Sagné, Elisa de Saldanha Simon, Hortensia Robert, Gwendoline Pot, Gilles Meyer, Christian de la Fe, Yonathan Arfi, Renaud Maillard, Christine Citti, Éric Baranowski

This study shows that Mycoplasma agalactiae conjugation increases in co-culture with eukaryotic cells, leading to genetic exchange and mosaic genomes, with nucleotide stress potentially modulating this process.
