DOI: 10.1073/pnas.2513714122
Abstract: The obligate intracellular pathogen Coxiella burnetii encodes a deubiquitinase called EmcB that prevents signaling by the host immune sensor Retinoic acid Inducible Gene I (RIG-I). The evolutionary relationship between EmcB and other deubiquitinases is currently… read more here.

DOI: 10.3390/ijms23147725
Abstract: Some pathogenic or symbiotic Gram-negative bacteria can manipulate the ubiquitination system of the eukaryotic host cell using a variety of strategies. Members of the genera Salmonella, Shigella, Sinorhizobium, and Ralstonia, among others, express E3 ubiquitin… read more here.
