Journal ArticleDOI

Cytosolic recognition of flagellin by mouse macrophages restricts Legionella pneumophila infection

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors reported that mouse macrophages restricted Legionella pneumophila replication and initiated a proinfl ammatory program of cell death when fl agellin contaminated their cytosol.
Journal ArticleDOI

Discovery of deoxyceramides and diacylglycerols as CD1b scaffold lipids among diverse groove-blocking lipids of the human CD1 system

TL;DR: It is found that ligands selectively associated with CD1b lacked the hydrophilic head group that is generally needed for antigen recognition but interferes with scaffold function, and the scaffolds as deoxyceramides and diacylglycerols directly demonstrate a function in augmenting presentation of a small glycolipid antigen to T cells.
Journal ArticleDOI

Lipidomic discovery of deoxysiderophores reveals a revised mycobactin biosynthesis pathway in Mycobacterium tuberculosis

TL;DR: Lipidomics is an efficient discovery tool that informs genetic relationships, leading to a revised general model for the biosynthesis of these virulence-conferring siderophores in Mycobacterium tuberculosis, and shows that deoxymycobactins are actively regulated during iron starvation.
