is a natural fish pathogen. It induces apoptosis in headkidney macrophages (HKM) of catfish, sp though the mechanism remains largely unknown. We observed triggers calcium (Ca) insult in the sub-cellular compartments which elicits pro-apototic ER-stress factor CHOP. Alleviating ER-stress inhibited CHOP and attenuated HKM apoptosis implicating ER-stress in the pathogenesis of . ER-stress promoted calpain activation and silencing the protease inhibited caspase-12 activation. The study documents the primal role of calpain/caspase-12 axis on caspase-9 activation in -pathogenesis. Mobilization of Ca from ER to mitochondria led to increased mitochondrial Ca (Ca) load, mitochondrial permeability transition (MPT) pore opening, altered mitochondrial membrane potential (ΔΨm) and cytochrome release eventually activating the caspase-9/-3 cascade. Ultra-structural studies revealed close apposition of ER and mitochondria and pre-treatment with (Ca)-uniporter (MUP) blocker ruthenium red, reduced Ca overload suggesting (Ca) fluxes are MUP-driven and the ER-mitochondria tethering orchestrates the process. This is the first report implicating role of sub-cellular Ca in the pathogenesis of . We summarize, the dynamics of Ca in sub-cellular compartments incites ER-stress and mitochondrial dysfunction, leading to activation of pro-apoptotic calpain/caspase-12/caspase-9 axis in -infected HKM.

The biochemical makeup of any organism provides insight into key factors regarding its biological functions. These factors can be explored using proteomics, which allows us to obtain a snapshot of the protein content and abundance in an organism, cell type or sub-cellular compartment. Here, we describe proteomic methodologies that can be used to dissect the biochemical mechanism of phytopathogenicity in oomycetes.

Mesial temporal lobe epilepsy (mTLE) is a debilitating disease characterized by recurrent seizures originating from temporal lobe structures such as the hippocampus. The pathogenic mechanisms underlying mTLE are incompletely understood but include changes in the expression of non-coding RNAs in affected brain regions. Previous work indicates that some of these changes may be selective to specific sub-cellular compartments, but the full extent of these changes and how these sub-cellular compartments themselves are affected remains largely unknown.

Apicomplexa comprise important pathogenic parasitic protists that heavily depend on lipid acquisition to survive within their human host cells. Lipid synthesis relies on the incorporation of an essential combination of fatty acids (FAs) either generated by a metabolically adaptable de novo synthesis in the parasite or by scavenging from the host cell. The incorporation of FAs into membrane lipids depends on their obligate metabolic activation by specific enzyme groups, acyl-CoA synthetases (ACSs).

Article Synopsis
- Hypochlorous acid (HOCl) is important for fighting pathogens, but too much or too little can cause tissue damage and inflammation.
- The new HOClSense dyes use a chlorination-based mechanism to provide detailed visualization of HOCl levels in sub-cellular environments, offering both switch-on and switch-off detection with different emission colors.
- Researchers demonstrated HOClSense's effectiveness by mapping HOCl in cell structures like plasma membranes and lysosomes, revealing insights into HOCl production in diseases like Niemann-Pick.
