The sulfur-related metabolic status of Aspergillus fumigatus during infection reveals cytosolic serine hydroxymethyltransferase as a promising antifungal target by Reem Alharthi, Monica Sueiro-Olivares, Isabelle Storer, Hajer Bin Shuraym, Jennifer Scott, Reem Al-Shidhani, Rachael Fortune-Grant, Elaine Bignell, Lydia Tabernero, Michael Bromley, Can Zhao, Jorge Amich

“…In addition, the analysis of gene expression dynamics at early (16 h), mid (24 h), and late (72 h) time-points uncovered potential disease initiation and progression factors. We further characterized one of the identified genes, encoding the cytosolic serine hydroxymethyltransferase ShmB, and demonstrated that it is an essential gene of A. fumigatus, also required for virulence in a murine model of established pulmonary infection. …”

RNA-binding protein HuR reprograms immune T cells and promotes oral squamous cell carcinoma by Mrinmoyee Majumder, Harinarayanan Janakiraman, Paramita Chakraborty, Anitha Vijayakumar, Sari Mayhue, Hong Yu, Toros Dincman, Romeo Martin, Elizabeth O'Quinn, Shikhar Mehrotra, Viswanathan Palanisamy

“…HuR-KO tumors had a lower tumor volume, fewer CD4+CD25+FoxP3+ regulatory T cells, and more CD8+ T cells, suggesting that HuR may suppress the immune response during oral cancer progression. In contrast, HuR KO oral epithelial tissues are resistant to 4NQO-induced oral malignancies compared to control tumor-bearing mice. …”
