A new archaeal virus that suppresses the transcription of host immunity genes

Israela Turgeman-Grott, Noam Golan, Uri Neri, Doron Naki, Neta Altman‐Price, Kim Eizenshtein, Deepak K Choudhary, Rachel Levy, Sharon Navok, Lee Cohen, Yarden Shalev, Himani Singla, Leah Reshef, Uri Gophna

This paper discovers a new archaeal virus that suppresses host immunity gene transcription, leading to faster growth of its host when the virus is removed.

An archaeal CBASS shows protective activity against both chronic and lytic viruses

Deepak Kumar Choudhary, Himani Singla, Dana Vassover, Noam Golan, Leah Reshef, Hadar Shukrun, Aime Bienfait Igiraneza, Mechthild Pohlschröder, Uri Gophna

This study shows that the archaeal CBASS system H-CBASS2 protects against both lytic and chronic viruses by depleting NAD+, with different kinetics depending on infection type.

Who is the host of the host-associated microbiome? Colony-level dynamics overshadow individual-level characteristics in the fur microbiome of a social mammal, the Egyptian fruit-bat

Oren kolodny, Maya Weinberg, Leah Reshef, Lee Harten, Abraham Hefetz, Uri Gophna, Marcus W Feldman, Yossi Yovel

The study shows that colony-level dynamics, not individual-level changes, drive fur microbiome variation in Egyptian fruit bats, suggesting the colony as a biological unit for studying host-microbiome interactions.
