Intracellular pathogen targeting by IL32 elicits cell-autonomous immunity

Jeffrey R. Reitano, Stephen C. Walsh, Mary S Dickinson, Emma Anne Johnston, María E. Cortina, Haley E. Adcox, Neal M. Alto, Isabelle Derré, Kevin Hybiske, Robert J. Suchland, So Young Kim, Jörn Coers

The paper identifies IL32 as a cytokine that targets intracellular pathogens via the N-degron pathway and autophagy, revealing a mechanism by which IFN-gamma signaling mediates host defense against pathogens like Chlamydia.

Human giant GTPase GVIN1 forms an antimicrobial coatomer around the intracellular bacterial pathogen Burkholderia thailandensis

Weilun Guo, Shruti Apte, Mary S Dickinson, So Young Kim, Miriam Kutsch, Jörn Coers

This study identifies GVIN1 as an IFNg-inducible host defense protein that blocks Burkholderia thailandensis from using actin polymerization for motility by forming a coatomer that displaces BimA.

The Shigella flexneri effector IpaH1.4 facilitates RNF213 degradation and protects cytosolic bacteria against interferon-induced ubiquitylation

Luz Saavedra-Sanchez, Mary S Dickinson, Shruti S Apte, Yifeng Zhang, Maarten F. de Jong, Samantha Skavicus, Nicholas S. Heaton, Neal M. Alto, Jörn Coers

This study identifies IpaH1.4 as a Shigella effector that degrades RNF213, preventing ubiquitylation of intracellular bacteria and evading host immunity.
