Akt and STAT5 mediate naïve human CD4+ T-cell early metabolic response to TCR stimulation
(2019)Metabolic pathways that regulate T-cell function show promise as therapeutic targets in diverse diseases. Here, we show that at rest cultured human effector memory and central memory CD4+ T-cells have elevated levels of ... -
Bystander activation of Bordetella pertussis-induced nasal tissue-resident memory CD4 T cells confers heterologous immunity to Klebsiella pneumoniae
(2023)Tissue-resident memory CD4 T (TRM) cells induced by infection with Bordetella pertussis persist in respiratory tissues and confer long-term protective immunity against reinfection. However, it is not clear how they are ... -
The circadian clock influences T cell responses to vaccination by regulating dendritic cell antigen processing
(2022)Dendritic cells play a key role in processing and presenting antigens to naïve T cells to prime adaptive immunity. Circadian rhythms are known to regulate many aspects of immunity; however, the role of circadian rhythms ... -
Crystallization of an engineered RUN domain of Rab6-interacting protein 1/DENND5.
(International Union of Crystallography, 2011)Effectors of the Rab small GTPases are large multi-domain proteins which have proved difficult to express in soluble form in Escherichia coli. Generally, effectors are recruited to a distinct subcellular compartment by ... -
Detection of Viral Infections by Innate Immunity
(2021)Pattern recognition receptors (PRRs) and inflammasomes are a key part of the anti-viral innate immune system as they detect conserved viral pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs). A successful host response to viral ... -
Glutathione Transferase Omega-1 Regulates NLRP3 Inflammasome Activation through NEK7 Deglutathionylation
(2019)The NLRP3 inflammasome is a cytosolic complex sensing phagocytosed material and various damage-associated molecular patterns, triggering production of the pro-inflammatory cytokines interleukin-1 beta (IL)-1β and IL-18 and ...
