    Abstract The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is the entry point to the secretory pathway and, as such, is critical for adaptive responses to biotic stress, when the demand for de novo synthesis of immunity-related proteins and signalling components increases significantly. Successful phytopathogens have evolved an arsenal of small effector proteins which collectively reconfigure multiple host components and signalling pathways to promote virulence; a small, but important, subset of which are targeted to the endomembrane system including the ER. We identified and validated a conserved C-terminal tail-anchor motif in a set of pathogen effectors known to localize to the ER from the oomycetes Hyaloperonospora arabidopsidis and Plasmopara halstedii (downy mildew of Arabidopsis and sunflower, respectively) and used this protein topology to develop a bioinformatic pipeline to identify putative ER-localized effectors within the effectorome of the related oomycete, Phytophthora infestans, the causal agent of potato late blight. Many of the identified P. infestans tail-anchor effectors converged on ER-localized NAC transcription factors, indicating that this family is a critical host target for multiple pathogens.

    Abstract CAR T cell treatment of solid tumours is limited by poor persistence partly due to CD95 ligand (CD95L)-induced apoptosis. Both T cells and cells within the tumour microenvironment (TME) may express CD95L, triggering apoptosis in CD95-receptor-positive CAR T cells. Tonic signalling of CAR T cells may also increase CD95-dependent AICD. Because the intracellular protein c-FLIP protects T cells from AICD, we expressed c-FLIPp43 within a Her-2 targeted CAR cassette and evaluated the potential of c-FLIPp43 through in vitro functional assays and in vivo tumour-bearing xenograft model. cFLIP expression protected against CD95L-induced cell death in the Jurkat T cell lines. However, in primary human CAR T cells containing CAR-CD28 domains, c-FLIPp43 overexpression had minimal additional impact on resistance to CD95L-induded cell death. In vitro cytotoxicity against a breast cancer tumour cell line was not altered by c-FLIPp43 expression, but the expression of c-FLIPp43 in Her2-CAR T cells lowered interferon-γ secretion, without markedly affecting IL-2 levels, and c-FLIPp43-Her2-CAR T cells showed reduced anti-tumour activity in immunodeficient mice with breast cancer. The findings of this study provide a new understanding of the effects of controlling extrinsic apoptosis pathway suppression in CAR T cells, suggesting that c-FLIPp43 expression reduces anti-tumour immunity through the modulation of effector T cell pathways.

    Abstract A series of new Mg(ii) amides featuring a bulky β-diketiminate backstop ligand, has been synthesised. These complexes are demonstrated to be excellent sources of nucleophilic amides that can participate in rapid C-F activation of several fluoroarenes at room temperature or using microwave assistance, leading to the installment of synthetically important C-N bonds via nucleophilic substitution.

    Abstract Inpatient pediatric cardiovascular patients have higher rates of cardiopulmonary arrests than other hospitalized children. Pediatric early warning scoring tools have helped to provide early identification and treatment to hospitalized children experiencing deterioration thus preventing arrests from occurring. However, the tools have rarely been used and have not been validated in the pediatric cardiac population. This paper describes the modification of a pediatric early warning scoring system for cardiovascular patients, the implementation of the tool, and its companion escalation of care algorithm on an inpatient pediatric cardiovascular unit.

    Abstract We examined how summated training and match load measures relate to salivary immunological and hormonal profile changes in professional football players. Data were collected from 18 elite-level professional male football players from one English Championship team across a complete 40 wk competitive season. Daily training (micro-technology) and match (computerised tracking) measures of total, high-speed and high-metabolic load running distance and sprint, acceleration, deceleration and sRPE load were converted into exponentially weighted moving average "acute" (7d), "chronic" (28d) and acute:chronic composite load measures. Bi-weekly morning saliva samples were analysed for immunoglobulin-A, alpha-amylase, testosterone, cortisol and testosterone:cortisol. A two-stage data reduction technique using partial least squares modelling and a backward stepwise selection procedure determined the most parsimonious model for each salivary variable. Testosterone had non-linear relationships with chronic total (

    Abstract Using β-diketiminate Mg(ii) complexes containing either alkyl, aryl or amide groups, the regioselective functionalization of a wide range of fluoroarenes is accomplished but in uniquely different ways. Overcoming common limitations of traditional s-block bases, kinetically activated [(DippNacnac)Mg(TMP)] (1) deprotonates these molecules at room temperature, trapping sensitive fluoroaryl anions that can then engage in Negishi cross-coupling; whereas [(DippNacnac)Mg(R)THF] (R = nBu, Ph, benzofuryl) have proved to be effective reagents for C–F bond alkylation/arylation via pyridine directed C–F bond cleavage.

    Abstract Autosomal dominant retinal vasculopathy with cerebral leukodystrophy is a microvascular endotheliopathy with middle-age onset. In nine families, we identified heterozygous C-terminal frameshift mutations in TREX1, which encodes a 3'-5' exonuclease. These truncated proteins retain exonuclease activity but lose normal perinuclear localization. These data have implications for the maintenance of vascular integrity in the degenerative cerebral microangiopathies leading to stroke and dementias.
