Article Synopsis
- * Researchers validated nine newly discovered short toxins that can induce cell death in both Escherichia coli and Saccharomyces cerevisiae, along with the identification of five immunity genes that protect against these toxins.
- * Some of these toxins apply significant antifungal effects against pathogenic fungi, suggesting potential applications in clinical and biotechnological fields, as further studies revealed their targeting mechanisms and DNase activity.
The extracellular Contractile Injection System (eCIS) is a toxin-delivery particle that evolved from a bacteriophage tail. Four eCISs have previously been shown to mediate interactions between bacteria and their invertebrate hosts. Here, we identify eCIS loci in 1,249 bacterial and archaeal genomes and reveal an enrichment of these loci in environmental microbes and their apparent absence from mammalian pathogens.

In this system translocates >300 effectors into host cells and in the genus thousands of effectors were identified, the function of most of which is unknown. Fourteen effectors were previously shown to specifically bind phosphoinositides (PIs) using dedicated domains.

Objectives: To assess the prevalence of soy allergy in infants fed soy-based formula in the first 3 days of life.
