Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book focuses on host–pathogen interactions at the metabolic level. It explores the metabolic requirements of the infectious agents, the microbial metabolic pathways that are dedicated to circumvent host immune mechanisms as well as the molecular mechanisms by which pathogens hijack host cell metabolism for their own benefit. Finally, it provides insights on the possible clinical and immunotherapeutic applications, as well as on the available experimental and analytical methods. The contributions break new ground in understanding the metabolic crosstalk between host and pathogen.

Download or read book The Role of Protein and Amino Acids in Sustaining and Enhancing Performance written by Institute of Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 1999-09-15 with total page 448 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is a commonly held belief that athletes, particularly body builders, have greater requirements for dietary protein than sedentary individuals. However, the evidence in support of this contention is controversial. This book is the latest in a series of publications designed to inform both civilian and military scientists and personnel about issues related to nutrition and military service. Among the many other stressors they experience, soldiers face unique nutritional demands during combat. Of particular concern is the role that dietary protein might play in controlling muscle mass and strength, response to injury and infection, and cognitive performance. The first part of the book contains the committee's summary of the workshop, responses to the Army's questions, conclusions, and recommendations. The remainder of the book contains papers contributed by speakers at the workshop on such topics as, the effects of aging and hormones on regulation of muscle mass and function, alterations in protein metabolism due to the stress of injury or infection, the role of individual amino acids, the components of proteins, as neurotransmitters, hormones, and modulators of various physiological processes, and the efficacy and safety considerations associated with dietary supplements aimed at enhancing performance.

Book excerpt: Persistent Viral Infections Edited by Rafi Ahmed Emory Vaccine Center, Atlanta, USA and Irvin S. Y. Chen UCLA School of Medicine, Los Angeles, USA During the past decade much of our attention has focused on diseases associated with viral persistence. Major breakthroughs in immunology, and the advent of molecular approaches to study pathogenesis have increased our understanding of the complex virus-host interactions that occur during viral persistence. Persistent Viral Infections focuses on: * The pathogenesis and immunology of chronic infections * Animal models that provide, or have the potential to provide, major insights This volume will be essential reading for virologists, immunologists, oncologists and neurologists.

Book excerpt: Metabolism refers to all the biochemical reactions that take place in a cell or organism. The study of bacterial metabolism focuses on the chemical diversity of substrate oxidations and dissimilation reactions, which normally function in bacteria to generate energy. The role of metabolism in the bacterial response to antibiotics has recently garnered interest because of a rapid rise in antibiotic resistance, a clear link between metabolic function and cell viability, and the lack of novel targets for hard-to-treat infections. Also within the scope of bacterial metabolism is the study of the uptake and utilization of the inorganic or organic compounds required for growth and maintenance of a cellular steady state (assimilation reactions). Genome-scale metabolic models bridge the gap between genome-derived biochemical information and metabolic phenotypes in a principled manner, providing a solid interpretative framework for experimental data related to metabolic states, and enabling simple in silico experiments with whole-cell metabolism.This book entitled "Bacterial Metabolism" presents cutting-edge research and reviews on how bacterial and archaeal structure lead to function, how metabolic processes are regulated, how microbes respond to environmental stressors, and how microbes can be manipulated to enhance their growth or the production of desired products. It also summarises the current knowledge of the bacterial isolates capable of anaerobic mineralization of hydrocarbons, and of the biochemistry and molecular biology of enzymes involved in the catabolic pathways of some of these substrates. Several alkylbenzenes, alkanes or alkenes are anaerobically utilized as substrates by several species of denitrifying, ferric iron-reducing and sulfate-reducing bacteria. The book will be of valued for students, researchers as well as for practitioners dealing with the subject.
Download or read book Metabolic Requirements of NK Cell Responses to Viral Infection written by Annelise Yoo Mah-Som and published by . This book was released on 2020 with total page 116 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In recent years, the field of immunometabolism -- the study of how specific changes in cellular metabolism regulate the function of diverse immune cell types--has grown exponentially. Several in vitro studies have examined the metabolic regulation of natural killer (NK) cells, which are first responders for viral infection and malignant transformation; however, much less is known regarding the role of metabolism in directing NK cell responses in vivo, such as during viral infection. In order to examine how NK cell antiviral function is regulated in vivo, we used a wellcharacterized infection with murine cytomegalovirus (MCMV) to assess NK cell cytokine production, proliferation, and killing. Two treatments were used to manipulate major metabolic pathways: a drug model to examine the role of glycolytic metabolism, and a genetic model to examine the role of oxidative metabolism. We found that treatment with the glucose metabolism inhibitor 2-deoxy-D-glucose (2DG) impaired both mouse and human NK cell cytotoxicity following priming in vitro. Similarly, MCMV-infected mice treated with 2DG had impaired clearance of NK-specific targets in vivo, which was associated with higher viral burdens and increased susceptibility to infection on the C57BL/6 background. These effects could be reversed by pre-treatment with IL-15, which alters NK cell metabolism and metabolic requirements for activation. To interrogate the role of oxidative metabolism on NK cell function, we examined responses to MCMV in mice with an NK-specific deletion of Cox10, a nuclear gene encoding a protein required for functional assembly of mitochondrial electron transport chain Complex IV. Cox10-deficient NK cells developed normally, retaining normal function, energy production, and oxygen consumption at baseline. However, they had a defect in proliferation when activated through the Ly49H receptor in vitro and in vivo. Ly49H recognizes an MCMV-encoded protein and mediates preferential expansion of the Ly49H+ NK cell population. The expansion defect in Cox10-deficient NK cells was associated with decreased mitochondrial production of reactive oxygen species and increased susceptibility to MCMV infection. Thus, we found that uninhibited glucose metabolism is required by NK cells for maximal cytotoxic function, and that the oxidative pathway gene Cox10 is required by NK cells to proliferate optimally in response to MCMV infection. Our findings emphasize that metabolic pathways have specific interactions with different immune functions, and further develop methods to investigate metabolic regulation of immune cells in physiological contexts.

Download or read book Type IV Secretion in Gram Negative and Gram Positive Bacteria written by Steffen Backert and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-03-13 with total page 364 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Type IV secretion systems (T4SSs) are highly versatile membrane-associated transporter machines used by Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria to deliver substrate molecules to a large variety of target cells. This volume summarizes our current knowledge of the large variety and structural diversity of T4SSs in pathogenic Escherichia, Agrobacterium, Legionella, Coxiella, Bartonella, Helicobacter, Enterococcus and other species. Divided into 13 chapters contributed by leading experts, it presents findings that significantly enhance our understanding of how various pathogens manipulate host cell functions to trigger bacterial uptake, promote intracellular growth, suppress defense mechanisms and of how bacteria spread antibiotic resistances, thus facilitating bacterial colonization and disease development. The book is an invaluable source of information for researchers and clinicians.
