Microbial infections are controlled by host inflammatory responses that are initiated by
innate immune receptors after recognition of conserved microbial products. As inflammation …

ABSTRACT L-arginine (L-arg) is a versatile amino acid and a central intestinal metabolite in
mammalian and microbial organisms. Thus, L-arg participates as precursor of multiple …

SopF, a newly discovered effector secreted by Salmonella pathogenicity island-1 type III
secretion system (T3SS1), was reported to target phosphoinositide on host cell membrane …

Salmonella injects over 40 virulence factors, termed effectors, into host cells to subvert
diverse host cellular processes. Of these 40 Salmonella effectors, at least 25 have been …

The bacterial genus Salmonella includes a large group of food-borne pathogens that cause
a variety of gastrointestinal or systemic diseases in hosts. Salmonella use several secretion …

Salmonella enterica subsp. enterica serovar Typhimurium (S. Typhimurium) is a Gram-
negative bacterium with a broad host range that causes non-typhoidal salmonellosis in …

TNF-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL) selectively induces the apoptosis pathway in
tumor cells leading to tumor cell death. Because TRAIL induction can kill tumor cells, cancer …

The importance of post-translational modifications (PTMs), particularly O-GlcNAcylation, of
cytoplasmic proteins in apoptosis has been neglected for quite a while. Modification of …

Salmonella is a major foodborne pathogen of both animals and humans. This bacterium is
responsible for considerable morbidity and mortality world-wide. Different serovars of this …

The modulation of programmed cell death (PCD) processes during bacterial infections is an
evolving arms race between pathogens and their hosts. The initiation of apoptosis …
