Here, we show that redox-cycling of phenazine-1-carboxamide (PCN) by <em>Pseudomonas aeruginosa</em> supports cellular maintenance in the absence of growth with a low mass-specific metabolic rate of 8.7 × 10<sup>−4</sup> W (g C)<sup>−1</sup> at 25°C. Leveraging a high-throughput electrochemical culturing device, we find that non-growing cells cycling PCN tolerate conventional antibiotics but are susceptible to those that target membrane components. Under these conditions, cells conserve energy via a noncanonical, facilitated fermentation that is dependent on acetate kinase and NADH dehydrogenases. Across PCN concentrations that limit cell survival, the cell-specific metabolic rate is constant, indicating the cells are operating near their bioenergetic limit. This quantitative platform opens the door to further mechanistic investigations of maintenance, a physiological state that underpins microbial survival in nature and disease.","PeriodicalId":9656,"journal":{"name":"Cell","volume":"27 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":64.5,"publicationDate":"2024-10-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142487272","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}

Upon cytokine exposure, cells enter an “alert state” that enhances their visibility to the immune system. Here, we identified an alert-state subpopulation of ribosomes defined by the presence of the P-stalk. We show that P-stalk ribosomes (PSRs) are formed in response to cytokines linked to tumor immunity, and this is at least partially mediated by P-stalk phosphorylation. PSRs are involved in the preferential translation of mRNAs vital for the cytokine response via the more efficient translation of transmembrane domains of receptor molecules involved in cytokine-mediated processes. Importantly, loss of the PSR inhibits CD8+ T cell recognition and killing, and inhibitory cytokines like transforming growth factor β (TGF-β) hinder PSR formation, suggesting that the PSR is a central regulatory hub upon which multiple signals converge. Thus, the PSR is an essential mediator of the cellular rewiring that occurs following cytokine exposure via the translational regulation of this process.","PeriodicalId":9656,"journal":{"name":"Cell","volume":"209 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":64.5,"publicationDate":"2024-10-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142452400","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}

All previously characterized IgG-specific ENGases are multi-domain proteins secreted as an immune evasion strategy by <em>Streptococcus pyogenes</em> strains. Here, using <em>in silico</em> analysis and mass spectrometry techniques, we identified a family of single-domain ENGases secreted by pathogenic corynebacterial species that exhibit strict specificity for IgG antibodies. By X-ray crystallographic and surface plasmon resonance analyses, we found that the most catalytically efficient IgG-specific ENGase family member recognizes both protein and glycan components of IgG. Employing <em>in vivo</em> models, we demonstrated the remarkable efficacy of this IgG-specific ENGase in mitigating numerous pathologies that rely on FcγR-mediated effector functions, including T and B lymphocyte depletion, autoimmune hemolytic anemia, and antibody-dependent enhancement of dengue disease, revealing its potential for treating and/or preventing a wide range of IgG-mediated diseases in humans.","PeriodicalId":9656,"journal":{"name":"Cell","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":64.5,"publicationDate":"2024-10-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142452399","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}

Here, we generated a comprehensive, high-resolution map of the small intestinal two-front nutrient supply environment. Using <em>in vivo</em> tracing of macronutrients and spatial metabolomics, we visualized the spatiotemporal dynamics and cell-type tropism in nutrient absorption and the region-specific metabolic heterogeneity within the villi. Specifically, glutamine from the enteral side fuels goblet cells to support mucus production, and the serosal side loosens the epithelial barrier by calibrating fungal metabolites. Disorganized feeding patterns, akin to the human lifestyle of skipping breakfast, increase the risk of metabolic diseases by inducing epithelial memory of lipid absorption. This study improves our understanding of how the small intestine is spatiotemporally regulated by its unique nutritional environment.","PeriodicalId":9656,"journal":{"name":"Cell","volume":"40 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":64.5,"publicationDate":"2024-10-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142449812","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}

LiTEC combines the identification of molecular zip codes that target the endogenous condensates with optogenetics to enable controlled and reversible partitioning of an arbitrary cargo, such as enzymes commonly used in proteomics, into the condensate in a blue light-dependent manner. We demonstrate a proof of concept by combining LiTEC with proximity-based biotinylation (BioID) and uncover putative components of transcriptional condensates in mouse embryonic stem cells.

Here, we report that phospholipases D3 and D4 (PLD3 and PLD4) synthesize lysosomal <em>S</em>,<em>S-</em>BMP, with either enzyme catalyzing the critical glycerol stereo-inversion reaction <em>in vitro</em>. Deletion of PLD3 or PLD4 markedly reduced BMP levels in cells or in murine tissues where either enzyme is highly expressed (brain for PLD3; spleen for PLD4), leading to gangliosidosis and lysosomal abnormalities.

Thus, the distributed brain can be thought of as a series of computations that act to encode and decode information. In this perspective, we detail important concepts of neural encoding and decoding and highlight the mathematical tools used to measure them, including deep learning methods.
