In plants, pattern-triggered immunity shuts down global translation while allowing the translation of defense mRNAs. Wang et al. (2022) describe a previously unknown mechanism for how elements in the 5' UTR of these mRNAs can recruit the translation machinery to initiate protein synthesis.

Epithelial cells (ECs) provide the first line of defense against microbial threats and environmental challenges. They participate in the host's immune responses via the expression and secretion of various immune-related molecules such as cytokines and chemokines, as well as interaction with immune cells. A growing body of evidence suggests that the dysregulated function of ECs can be involved in the pathophysiology of a broad range of infectious, autoimmune, and inflammatory diseases, including inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), asthma, multiple sclerosis, and rheumatoid arthritis.

Herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) is the leading pathogen in the maxillo-facial region, affecting millions of individuals worldwide. Its periodic reactivation aligns with the most common course pattern of periodontal disease. The present study used RNA sequencing to investigate the transcriptomes of human gingival fibroblasts (HGFs) following HSV-1 infection from the early to late stages (12-72 h).

Plant diseases diminish crop yields and put the world's food supply at risk. Plant elicitor peptides (Peps) are innate danger signals inducing defense responses both naturally and after external application onto plants. Pep-triggered defense networks are compatible with pattern-triggered immunity (PTI).

Zinc knuckle (ZCCHC) motif-containing proteins are present in unicellular and multicellular eukaryotes, and most ZCCHC proteins with known functions participate in the metabolism of various classes of RNA, such as mRNAs, ribosomal RNAs, and microRNAs. The Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana) genome encodes 69 ZCCHC-containing proteins; however, the functions of most remain unclear. One of these proteins, CAX-INTERACTING PROTEIN 4 (CXIP4, encoded by AT2G28910), has been classified as a PTHR31437 family member.

As obligate intracellular parasites, viruses depend on host proteins and pathways for their multiplication. Among these host factors, specific nuclear proteins are involved in the life cycle of some cytoplasmic replicating RNA viruses, although their role in the viral cycle remains largely unknown. The polerovirus turnip yellows virus (TuYV) encodes a major coat protein (CP) and a 74 kDa protein known as the readthrough (RT) protein.
