    Abstract Proteases are powerful enzymes, which cleave peptide bonds, leading most of the time to irreversible fragmentation or degradation of their substrates. Therefore they control many critical cell fate decisions in eukaryotes. Bacterial pathogens exploit this power and deliver protease effectors through specialised secretion systems into host cells. Research over the past years revealed that the functions of protease effectors during infection are diverse, reflecting the lifestyles and adaptations to specific hosts; however, only a small number of peptidase families seem to have given rise to most of these protease virulence factors by the evolution of different substrate-binding specificities, intracellular activation and subcellular targeting mechanisms. Here, we review our current knowledge about the enzymology and function of protease effectors, which Gram-negative bacterial pathogens translocate via type III and IV secretion systems to irreversibly manipulate host processes. We highlight emerging concepts such as signalling by protease cleavage products and effector-triggered immunity, which host cells employ to detect and defend themselves against a protease attack. TAKE AWAY: Proteases irreversibly cleave proteins to control critical cell fate decisions. Gram-negative bacteria use type III and IV secretion systems to inject effectors. Protease effectors are integral weapons for the manipulation of host processes. Effectors evolved from few peptidase families to target diverse substrates. Effector-triggered immunity upon proteolytic attack emerges as host defence.

    Abstract The current tuberculosis (TB) treatment is challenged by a complex first-line treatment for drug-sensitive (DS) TB. Additionally, the prevalence of multidrug (MDR)- and extensively drug (XDR)-resistant TB necessitates the search for new drug prototypes. We synthesized and screened 30 hybrid compounds containing aminopyridine and 2-chloro-3-formyl quinoline to arrive at a compound with potent antimycobacterial activity, UH-NIP-16. Subsequently, antimycobacterial activity against DS and MDR

    Abstract As an anaerobe, Clostridioides difficile relies on the formation of a dormant spore for survival outside of the mammalian host’s gastrointestinal tract. The spore is recalcitrant to desiccation, numerous disinfectants, UV light, and antibiotics, permitting long-term survival against environmental insults and efficient transmission from host to host. Although the morphological stages of spore formation are similar between C. difficile and other well-studied endospore-forming bacteria, the C. difficile genome does not appear to encode many of the known, conserved regulatory factors that are necessary to initiate sporulation in other spore-forming bacteria. The absence of early sporulation-specific orthologs suggests that C. difficile has evolved to control sporulation initiation in response to its unique and specific ecological niche and environmental cues within the host. Here, we review our current understanding and highlight the recent discoveries that have begun to unravel the regulatory pathways and molecular mechanisms by which C. difficile induces spore formation.

    Abstract Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) is the most common co-infection in HIV patients and a serious co-epidemic. Apart from increasing the risk of reactivation of latent tuberculosis (TB), HIV infection also permits opportunistic infection of environmental non-pathogenic mycobacteria. To gain insights into mycobacterial survival inside host macrophages and identify mycobacterial proteins or processes that influence HIV propagation during co-infection, we employed proteomics approach to identify differentially expressed intracellular mycobacterial proteins during mono- and HIV co-infection of human THP-1 derived macrophage cell lines. Of the 92 proteins identified, 30 proteins were upregulated during mycobacterial mono-infection and 40 proteins during HIV-mycobacteria co-infection. We observed down-regulation of toxin-antitoxin (TA) modules, up-regulation of cation transporters, Type VII (Esx) secretion systems, proteins involved in cell wall lipid or protein metabolism, glyoxalate pathway and branched chain amino-acid synthesis during co-infection. The bearings of these mycobacterial factors or processes on HIV propagation during co-infection, as inferred from the proteomics data, were validated using deletion mutants of mycobacteria. The analyses revealed mycobacterial factors that possibly via modulating the host environment, increased viral titers during co-infection. The study provides new leads for investigations towards hitherto unknown molecular mechanisms explaining HIV-mycobacteria synergism, helping address diagnostics and treatment challenges for effective co-epidemic management.

    Abstract Multidrug resistance (MDR) is a major problem in the treatment of infectious diseases and cancer. Accumulating evidence suggests that the cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2)-specific inhibitor celecoxib would not only inhibit COX-2 but also help in the reversal of drug resistance in cancers by inhibiting the MDR1 efflux pump. Here, we demonstrate that celecoxib increases the sensitivity of bacteria to the antibiotics ampicillin, kanamycin, chloramphenicol, and ciprofloxacin by accumulating the drugs inside the cell, thus reversing MDR in bacteria.
