The intracellular growth of the vacuolar pathogen Legionella pneumophila is dependent on the acyl chain composition of host membranes

A. Wilkins, B. Schwarz, A. Torres-Escobar, R. Castore, L. Landry, B. Latimer, E. Bohrnsen, C. M. Bosio, A.-M. Dragoi, S. S. Ivanov

This study shows that Legionella pneumophila replication depends on host membrane acyl chain composition, with palmitoleic acid promoting membrane disorder and enhancing bacterial growth.

Neisseria gonorrhoeae subverts formin-dependent actin polymerization to colonize human macrophages

S. S. Ivanov, R. Castore, M. L. Circu, A.-M. Dragoi

This study shows Neisseria gonorrhoeae invades macrophages via actin-dependent membrane invaginations, distinct from phagocytosis, and identifies FMNL3 as a key host factor in this process.
