The AraC/XylS protein MxiE and its co-regulator IpgC control a negative feedback loop in the transcriptional cascade that regulates type III secretion in Shigella flexneri

J. A. McKenna, M. M. Karney, D. K. Chan…·H. J. Wing

This paper identifies a negative feedback loop involving MxiE and IpgC that down-regulates the virB promoter in Shigella flexneri, counteracting VirF activation.

Gut regulatory T cells mediate immunological tolerance in Salmonella Typhimurium-infected superspreader hosts by suppressing cytotoxic activity of T cells.

L. Moura Massis, S. Ruddle, S. M. Brewer…·D. M. Monack

The paper identifies regulatory T cells (Tregs) as critical for maintaining immunological tolerance in superspreader hosts infected with Salmonella Typhimurium by suppressing cytotoxic T-cell activity.
