Host Delivery of Favorite Meals for Intracellular Pathogens
Pathogens grow and cause disease by exploiting the host as a rich and diverse source of food. However, it is not always an easy task to tap these food resources since the host innate immune response restricts pathogen access to crucial nutrients (“nutritional immunity”) [1]. Pathogens have acquired various mechanisms to evade host nutritional innate immunity and to trigger the host to generate ...
متن کاملModulation of Host miRNAs by Intracellular Bacterial Pathogens
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are short non-coding RNAs that regulate the expression of protein coding genes of viruses and eukaryotes at the post-transcriptional level. The eukaryotic genes regulated by miRNAs include those whose products are critical for biological processes such as cell proliferation, metabolic pathways, immune response, and development. It is now increasingly recognized that modulatio...
متن کاملMetabolic host responses to infection by intracellular bacterial pathogens
The interaction of bacterial pathogens with mammalian hosts leads to a variety of physiological responses of the interacting partners aimed at an adaptation to the new situation. These responses include multiple metabolic changes in the affected host cells which are most obvious when the pathogen replicates within host cells as in case of intracellular bacterial pathogens. While the pathogen tr...
متن کاملHijacking Host Cell Highways: Manipulation of the Host Actin Cytoskeleton by Obligate Intracellular Bacterial Pathogens
Intracellular bacterial pathogens replicate within eukaryotic cells and display unique adaptations that support key infection events including invasion, replication, immune evasion, and dissemination. From invasion to dissemination, all stages of the intracellular bacterial life cycle share the same three-dimensional cytosolic space containing the host cytoskeleton. For successful infection and...
متن کاملEvolution of intracellular pathogens.
The evolution of intracellular pathogens is considered in the context of ambiguities in basic definitions and the diversity of host-microbe interactions. Intracellular pathogenesis is a subset of a larger world of host-microbe interactions that includes amoeboid predation and endosymbiotic existence. Intracellular pathogens often reveal genome reduction. Despite the uniqueness of each host-micr...
