The key to bacterial virulence relies on an exquisite balance of signals between microbe and hosts. Bacterial toxin-antitoxin (TA) system is known to play a vital role in response to stress adaptation, drug resistance, biofilm formation, intracellular survival, persistence as well as pathogenesis. In the present study, we investigated the role of Hha-TomB TA system in regulating virulence of Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium (S. Typhimurium) in a host model system, where we showed that deletion of hha and tomB genes displayed impaired cell adhesion, invasion, and uptake. The isogenic hha and tomB mutant strain was also found to be deficient in intracellular replication in vitro, with a highly repressed Salmonella Pathogenicity Island-2 (SPI-2) genes and downregulation of Salmonella Pathogenicity Island-1 (SPI-1) genes. In addition, the Δhha and ΔtomB did not show acute colitis in C57BL/6 mice and displayed less dissemination to systemic organs followed by their cecal pathology. The TA mutants also showed reduction in serum cytokine and nitric oxide levels both in vitro and in vivo. However, the inflammation phenotype was restored on complementing strain of TA gene to its mutant strain. In silico studies depicted firm interaction of Hha-TomB complex and the regulatory proteins, namely, SsrA, SsrB, PhoP, and PhoQ. Overall, we demonstrate that this study of Hha-TomB TA system is one of the prime regulating networks essential for S. Typhimurium pathogenesis. 1. Role of Hha-TomB toxin-antitoxin (TA) system in Salmonella pathogenesis was examined. 2. The TA mutants resulted in impaired invasion and intracellular replication in vitro. 3. The TA mutants displayed alteration in SPI-1 and SPI-2 regulatory genes inside host cells. 4. Mutation in TA genes also limited systemic colonization and inflammatory response in vivo.

The type VI secretion system (T6SS) is a widespread weapon employed by gram-negative bacteria for interspecies interaction in complex communities. Analogous to a contractile phage tail, the double-tubular T6SS injects toxic effectors into prokaryotic and eukaryotic neighboring cells. Although effectors dictate T6SS functions, their identities remain elusive in many pathogens. Read More

Background: Maturation inhibitors (MIs) potently block HIV-1 maturation by inhibiting the cleavage of the capsid protein and spacer peptide 1 (CA-SP1). Bevirimat (BVM), a highly efficacious first-in-class MI against HIV-1 subtype B isolates, elicited sub-optimal efficacy in clinical trials due to polymorphisms in the CA-SP1 region of the Gag protein (SP1:V7A). HIV-1 subtype C inherently contains this polymorphism thus conferring BVM resistance, however it displayed sensitivity to second generation BVM analogs. Read More

Background And Purpose: The increment in fungal infections, particularly due to species, is alarming due to the emergence of multidrug resistance (MDR). Hence, the identification of novel drug targets to circumvent the problem of MDR requires immediate attention. The metabolic pathway, such as glyoxylate cycle (GC), which utilizes key enzymes (isocitrate lyase [ICL] and malate synthase [MLS]), enables to adapt under glucose-deficient conditions. Read More
