Kinetic analysis of IFIT1 and IFIT5 interaction with different native and engineered RNAs and its consequences for designing mRNA-based therapeutics [Article]
In response to foreign RNA cellular antiviral mechanisms stimulate high expression of Interferon-induced proteins with tetratricopeptide repeats (IFITs). Two members of the IFIT protein family: IFIT1 and IFIT5 are capable of binding the very terminal 5’ end of mRNA. In eukaryotes these mRNA termini contain a cap structure (m7GpppN, cap 0) that is often subjected to further modifications. Here, we performed a thorough examination of IFIT1 and IFIT5 binding to a wide spectrum of differently capped...

Development of Neutropenic Murine Models of Iron Overload and Depletion to Study the Efficacy of Siderophore-Antibiotic Conjugates [Pharmacology]
Siderophore-antibiotic conjugates have increased in vitro activity in low iron environments where bacteria express siderophores and associated transporters. The host immune hypoferremic response reduces iron availability to bacteria, however, patients with iron overload or deficiency may have altered ability to restrict iron which may affect the efficacy of siderophore-antibiotic conjugates. In vivo models of infection with iron overload and deficiency are needed to perform this assessment.The standard...

The Economic Conundrum for Antibacterial Drugs [Commentary]
While resistance to antibacterial drugs is increasing globally, it is unevenly distributed. The number of cases that are truly difficult to treat remain below the number required to drive an adequate market for needed new therapies. Without a sufficient market, companies pursuing these drugs risk financial failure. Here, I explore, at least briefly, the current situation and the financial risks to companies. I provide potential solutions to the failed market.

Mutations reducing in vitro susceptibility to novel LpxC inhibitors in Pseudomonas aeruginosa: interplay of efflux and non-efflux mechanisms [Mechanisms of Resistance]
Upregulated expression of efflux pumps, lpxC target mutations, LpxC protein overexpression, and mutations in fabG were previously shown to mediate single step resistance to the LpxC inhibitor CHIR-090 in P. aeruginosa. Single step selection experiments using three recently described LpxC inhibitors (compounds 2, 3 and 4, Figure 1) and mutant characterization showed that these mechanisms affect susceptibility to additional novel LpxC inhibitors. Serial passaging of P. aeruginosa wild-type and efflux...

A new role for capsid assembly modulators to target mature hepatitis B virus capsids and prevent virus infection [Antiviral Agents]
Hepatitis B virus (HBV) is a major human pathogen killing an estimated 887,000 humans per year. Therefore, potentially curative therapies are of high need. Following infection, HBV deposits a covalently closed circular (ccc) DNA in the nucleus of infected cells that serves as transcription template and is not affected by current therapies. HBV core protein allosteric modulators (CpAMs) prevent correct capsid assembly but may also affect early stages of HBV infection. In this study, we aimed to determine...

A Loop-Mediated Isothermal Amplification Assay Targeting Neisseria gonorrhoeae penA-60.001 [Mechanisms of Resistance]
Ceftriaxone (CRO) is widely used as the first-line treatment for gonococcal infections. However, CRO-resistant Neisseria gonorrhoeae strains carrying mosaic penA-60.001 have emerged and disseminated worldwide recently. To meet the urgent need to detect these strains, we report here a loop-mediated isothermal (LAMP) assay system that targets N. gonorrhoeae penA-60.001. This assay system can differentiate N. gonorrhoeae carrying mosaic penA-60.001 from strains carrying other penA alleles.
