The VraSR regulatory system contributes to virulence in Streptococcus suis via resistance to innate immune defenses
Peixi Chang, Weitian Li, Guolin Shi, Huan Li, Xiaoqing Yang, Zechen Xia, Yuan Ren, Zhiwei Li, Huanchun Chen & Weicheng Bei
Streptococcus suis is a highly invasive pathogen that can cause sepsis and meningitis in pigs and humans. However, we have limited understanding of the mechanisms S. suis uses to evade innate immunity. To investigate the involvement of the two-component signal transduction system of S. suis in host immune defense, we examined the expression of 15 response regulators of S. suis following stimulation with polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMNs). We found that several response regulators were significantly up-regulated...
Time-course analysis of nuclear events during conjugation in the marine ciliate Euplotes vannus and comparison with other ciliates (Protozoa, Ciliophora)
Yaohan Jiang, Tengteng Zhang, Adriana Vallesi, Xianyu Yang & Feng Gao
Ciliates represent a morphologically and genetically distinct group of single-celled eukaryotes that segregate germline and somatic functions into two types of nuclei and exhibit complex cytogenetic events during the sexual process of conjugation, which is under the control of the so-called “mating type systems”. Studying conjugation in ciliates may provide insight into our understanding of the origins and evolution of sex and fertilization. In the present work, we studied in detail the sexual process of...
