Nucleotide signals coordinate activation and inhibition of bacterial immunity - Nature

Biochemical and structural studies show that the bacterial dGTPase CloA is activated by virally produced dTTP and inhibited by 5′-triphosphothymidyl-3′5′-thymidine produced by its regulatory partner CloB, and thereby balances antiviral defence and immune-mediated toxicity.

Bacterial immune activation via supramolecular assembly with phage triggers - Nature

An antiphage defence system has an activation mechanism that relies on the sensing of phage-encoded proteins that enforce geometry crucial to activation and are not typically present in non-infected cells.

Dual recruitment of two CCM2 molecules to KRIT1 suppresses KLF4 expression - Nature Communications

Loss of KRIT1 or CCM2 drives harmful KLF4 overexpression in brain vessels. Here, authors show a single KRIT1 must recruit two CCM2 proteins via dual PTB-NPxF interactions to suppress KLF4, revealing a previously unknown PTB clustering mechanism.
