Single-cell profiling aligns CD56bright and cytomegalovirus-induced adaptive natural killer cells to a naïve-memory relationship by M. Kazim Panjwani, Simon Grassmann, Rosa Sottile, Jean-Benoît Le Luduec, Theodota Kontopoulos, Kattria van der Ploeg, Joseph C. Sun, Katharine C. Hsu, Katharine C. Hsu

“…To identify the “naïve” population from which this “memory” population derives, we performed phenotypic, transcriptional, and functional profiling of NK cell subsets. We identified immature precursors to the Adaptive NK cells that are equally present in both CMV+ and CMV- individuals, resolved an Adaptive transcriptional state distinct from most mature NK cells and sharing a common gene program with the immature CD56bright population, and demonstrated retention of proliferative capacity and acquisition of superior IFNγ production in the Adaptive population. …”

Evolutionary Dynamics and Functional Bifurcation of the C2H2 Gene Family in Basidiomycota by Chao Duan, Jie Yang

“…This study performed a phylogenomic analysis of the C2H2 gene family across 30 Basidiomycota species, identifying 1032 genes distributed across six evolutionary clades (Groups I–VI). Functional diversification and lineage-specific expansions were observed: Group II (37.1%) formed a conserved core, while wood decayers (e.g., <i>Schizophyllum commune</i>) and edible fungi (e.g., <i>Pleurotus ostreatus</i>) exhibited clade-specific expansions in Groups III and V, respectively. …”

Critical functions and key interactions mediated by the RNase E scaffolding domain in Pseudomonas aeruginosa. by Sandra Amandine Marie Geslain, Stéphane Hausmann, Johan Geiser, George Edward Allen, Diego Gonzalez, Martina Valentini

“…In Pseudomonadota, this complex assembles on the C-terminal domain (CTD) of RNase E through short linear motifs (SLiMs) that determine its composition and functionality. In the human pathogen Pseudomonas aeruginosa, the RNase E CTD exhibits limited similarity to that of model organisms, impeding our understanding of RNA metabolic processes in this bacterium. …”
