However, cancer-associated SNPs in bacterial pathogens were unknown until discovered in the stomach pathogen Helicobacter pylori. Those include an alanine-threonine polymorphism in the EPIYA-B phosphorylation motif of the injected effector protein CagA that affects cancer risk by modifying inflammatory responses and loss of host cell polarity. A serine-to-leucine change in serine protease HtrA is associated with boosted proteolytic cleavage of epithelial junction proteins and introduction of DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) in host chromosomes, which co-operatively elicit malignant alterations. In addition, H. pylori genome-wide association studies (GWAS) identified several other SNPs potentially associated with increased gastric cancer (GC) risk. Here we discuss the clinical importance, evolutionary origin, and functional advantage of the H. pylori SNPs. These exciting new data highlight cancer-associated SNPs in bacteria, which should be explored in more detail in future studies.</p>","PeriodicalId":23275,"journal":{"name":"Trends in Microbiology","volume":" ","pages":"847-857"},"PeriodicalIF":14.0,"publicationDate":"2024-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140132656","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Exploiting these adaptations for drug discovery has revealed that perturbing cAMP signaling can restrict Mtb growth in macrophages. Specifically, compounds that agonize or stimulate the bacterial enzyme, Rv1625c/Cya, induce cAMP synthesis and this interferes with the ability of Mtb to metabolize cholesterol. In murine tuberculosis (TB) infection models, Rv1625c/Cya agonists contribute to reducing relapse and shortening combination treatments, highlighting the therapeutic potential for this class of compounds. More recently, cAMP signaling has been implicated in regulating fatty acid utilization by Mtb. Thus, a new model is beginning to emerge in which cAMP regulates the utilization of host lipids by Mtb during infection, and this could provide new targets for TB drug development. Here, we summarize the current understanding of cAMP signaling in Mtb with a focus on our understanding of how cAMP signaling impacts Mtb physiology during infection. We also discuss additional cAMP-related drug targets in Mtb and other bacterial pathogens that may have therapeutic potential.</p>","PeriodicalId":23275,"journal":{"name":"Trends in Microbiology","volume":" ","pages":"874-883"},"PeriodicalIF":14.0,"publicationDate":"2024-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11322422/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139742051","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Understanding the underlying evolutionary and adaptive forces driving their production remains a fundamental question in biology. Amphiphilic cyclic lipopeptides (CLPs), a prominent category of bacterial specialized metabolites, show strong antimicrobial activity, particularly against phytopathogens. It is thus assumed that these compounds are deployed by soil- or rhizosphere-dwelling bacteria as microbial weapons in competitive natural environments. Here, we challenge this reductionist perspective and present evidence that Bacillus CLPs are prominent chemical mediators of ecological interactions. They help Bacillus to communicate, compete, defend against predators, or cooperate and establish mutualistic relationships with other (micro)organisms. Additional parallel examples are highlighted in other genera, such as Pseudomonas. This broader perspective underscores the need for further investigation into the role of CLPs in shaping the adaptive strategies of key rhizobacterial species.</p>","PeriodicalId":23275,"journal":{"name":"Trends in Microbiology","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":14.0,"publicationDate":"2024-08-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142112338","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In addition to its archetypal functions, TLR4 is also a versatile virus sensor. This review provides a background on the discovery of TLR4 and how this knowledge laid a foundation for characterization of its diverse roles in antiviral responses, examined through genetic, biochemical, structural, and immunological approaches.

These latter temperature fluctuations are utilized by pathogens to coordinate the expression of crucial virulence factors. Here, we elucidate the critical role of temperature in governing the expression of virulence factors in bacterial pathogens.
