Teleost-specific ictacalcins exhibit similar structural organization, cation-dependent activation and transcriptional regulation as human S100 proteins

Liz Hernández, Théo Paris, Maria Demou…·Laure Yatime

The paper characterizes two teleost-specific S100 proteins, S100i1 and S100i2, showing they share structural, functional, and expression features with mammalian S100 proteins.

During an inflammatory response, zebrafish tnfa and tnfb are expressed by different cell types and have distinct expression kinetics

Kaylee S.E. van Dijk, Christina Begon‐Pescia, Bruin de Bruin…·Maria Forlenza

The paper tracks tnfb expression in zebrafish using reporter lines and scRNAseq, showing distinct kinetics and cell-type-specific expression compared to tnfa and il1b.

HIV-1 Tat favors the multiplication of Mycobacterium tuberculosis and toxoplasma by inhibiting clathrin-mediated endocytosis and autophagy

Aurélie Rivault, Audrey Bernut, Myriam Ben-Neji…·Bruno D. Beaumelle

The paper shows HIV-1 Tat enhances Mtb and Toxoplasma growth by inhibiting clathrin-mediated endocytosis and autophagy through PI(4,5)P2 binding and palmitoylation.
