Rules of Engagement: Molecular Insights from Host-Virus Arms Races

TL;DR: Common rules for the strategies employed by both hosts and viruses have emerged from case studies of innate immunity genes in primates and are poised to be used to transition from a retrospective view of host-virus arms races to specific predictions about which host genes face pathogen antagonism and how those genetic conflicts transform host and virus evolution.
Journal ArticleDOI

From Genetic Footprinting to Antimicrobial Drug Targets: Examples in Cofactor Biosynthetic Pathways

TL;DR: An integrated approach to identification and prioritization of broad-spectrum drug targets is described, based on genetic footprinting in Escherichia coli followed by metabolic context analysis of essential gene orthologs in various species.
Journal ArticleDOI

Complete reconstitution of the human coenzyme A biosynthetic pathway via comparative genomics.

TL;DR: Using comparative genomics, human genes encoding the last four enzymatic steps in CoA biosynthesis are identified and human recombinant bifunctional phosphopantetheine adenylyltransferase/dephospho-CoA kinase was kinetically characterized.
Journal ArticleDOI

Molecular basis for specific recognition of bacterial ligands by NAIP/NLRC4 inflammasomes.

TL;DR: It is shown that ligand binding is required for the subsequent co-oligomerization of NAIPs with the downstream signaling adaptor NLR family, CARD-containing 4 (NLRC4), and Interestingly, the ligand specificity domain has evolved under positive selection in both rodents and primates.
