Article Abstract
In phytopathogenic fungi, a mutation in the avirulence gene can lead to the breakdown of resistance in the host plant. The nucleotide sequences of the AVR-Pik locus in the strain Ina168 and its spontaneous mutant Ina168m95-5 of Pyricularia oryzae were determined. An AVR-Pik spontaneous deletion mechanism of Ina168m95-5, including multiple homologous recombination events involving repetitive transposable elements, is proposed.

The fission yeast phosphate acquisition (PHO) regulon is repressed under phosphate-replete conditions by upstream lncRNA-mediated transcriptional interference. Inositol-1-pyrophosphates control phosphate homeostasis via their action as agonists of precocious PHO lncRNA 3'-processing/termination. Inositol pyrophosphatase-inactivating mutations that increase inositol-1-pyrophosphates elicit derepression of the PHO genes and a severe growth defect in YES medium.

Isolated dystonia can be caused by loss-of-function mutations in the GNAL gene (DYT-GNAL/DYT25). This gene encodes the α subunit of the heterotrimeric G protein, which, with βγ subunits, mediates the stimulatory coupling of dopamine D1 and adenosine A2A receptors to adenylyl-cyclase. These receptors are expressed in distinct striatal projection neurons (SPNs) with complementary functions in motor behavior.

A20, encoded by the TNFAIP3 gene, is a protein linked to Crohn's disease and celiac disease in humans. We now find that mice expressing point mutations in A20's M1-ubiquitin-binding zinc finger 7 (ZF7) motif spontaneously develop proximal enteritis that requires both luminal microbes and T cells. Cellular and transcriptomic profiling reveals expansion of Th17 cells and exuberant expression of IL-17A and IL-22 in intestinal lamina propria of A20ZF7 mice.

The immune protection of pancreatic β cells has three layers: anatomical, with their distribution in 1 million islets; central, with the thymic deletion of β cell-specific T cells; and peripheral, with inhibitory cellular networks. The failure of the latter leads to most spontaneous type 1 diabetes and all diabetes induced by checkpoint inhibitor therapy. Because CD4 T cells initiate disease, major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class II-expressing cells are central to the onset.

Geranylgeranyl pyrophosphate, a non-sterol intermediate of the mevalonate pathway, serves as the substrate for protein geranylgeranylation, a process catalyzed by geranylgeranyl transferase I (GGTase-I). Myeloid-specific deletion of Pggt1b, the gene coding for GGTase-I, leads to spontaneous and severe erosive arthritis in mice; however, the underlying mechanisms remained unclear. In this study, we demonstrate that arthritis in mice with myeloid-specific Pggt1b deficiency is driven by unprenylated GTP-bound small RHO family GTPases, which in turn trigger Pyrin (Mefv) inflammasome activation, GSDMD-dependent macrophage pyroptosis, and IL-1β secretion.
