Mechanisms of host cell exit by intracellular pathogens Mol. Microbiol. (IF 3.6) Pub Date : 2024-03-11 Friedrich Frischknecht, Gabriele Pradel
Many pathogens pass through a life-cycle phase, during which they persist or multiply inside host cells. This intracellular lifestyle necessitates the evolution of machineries and mechanisms to enter into host cells but also to exit them. While we have a good understanding of pathogen entry processes, we know much less about the mechanisms of pathogen exit from their host cells. This lack of knowledge

Since its inception in the 1930s, transmission electron microscopy (TEM) has been a powerful method to explore the cellular structure of parasites. TEM usually requires samples of <100 nm thick and with protozoans being larger than 1 μm, their study requires resin embedding and ultrathin sectioning. During the past decade, several new methods have been developed to improve, facilitate, and speed up

Regulation of the first committed step of peptidoglycan precursor synthesis by MurA-enzyme homologs has recently taken center stage in many different bacteria. In different low-GC Gram-positive bacteria, regulation of this step has been shown to be regulated by phosphorylation of homologs of the IreB/ReoM regulatory protein by PASTA-domain Ser/Thr-protein kinases.
