Galectin 8 targets damaged vesicles for autophagy to defend cells against bacterial invasion

TL;DR: It is shown in human cells that galectin 8 (also known as LGALS8), a cytosolic lectin, is a danger receptor that restricts Salmonella proliferation and serves as a versatile receptor for vesicle-damaging pathogens.
Journal ArticleDOI

The cop operon is required for copper homeostasis and contributes to virulence in Streptococcus pneumoniae.

TL;DR: In this paper, a number of pneumococcal genes are differentially regulated by copper, including an operon encoding a CopY regulator, a protein of unknown function (CupA) and a P1-type ATPase, CopA which is conserved in all sequenced Streptococcus pneumoniae strains.
Journal ArticleDOI

GBPs Inhibit Motility of Shigella flexneri but Are Targeted for Degradation by the Bacterial Ubiquitin Ligase IpaH9.8

TL;DR: An important function of GBP recruitment to S. flexneri is to prevent the spread of infection to neighboring cells while IpaH9.8 helps bacterial propagation by counteracting GBP-dependent cell-autonomous immunity.
Journal ArticleDOI

Sterical Hindrance Promotes Selectivity of the Autophagy Cargo Receptor NDP52 for the Danger Receptor Galectin-8 in Antibacterial Autophagy

TL;DR: The crystal structure of the NDP52–galectin-8 complex is solved to show how NDP52 exclusively binds galectIn-8 and, consequently, why other galectins do not restrict the growth of Salmonella in human cells.
