Dysregulated host-microbial interactions play critical roles in initiation and perpetuation of gut inflammation in Crohn's disease (CD). However, the spatial distribution and interaction network across the intestine and its accessory tissues are still elusive. Here, we profile the host proteins and tissue microbes in 540 samples from the intestinal mucosa, submucosa-muscularis-serosa, mesenteric adipose tissues, mesentery, and mesenteric lymph nodes of 30 CD patients and spatially decipher the host-microbial interactions. We observe aberrant antimicrobial immunity and metabolic processes across multi-tissues during CD and determine bacterial transmission along with altered microbial communities and ecological patterns. Moreover, we identify several candidate interaction pairs between host proteins and microbes associated with perpetuation of gut inflammation and bacterial transmigration across multi-tissues in CD. Signature alterations in host proteins (e.g., SAA2 and GOLM1) and microbes (e.g., Alistipes and Streptococcus) are further imprinted in serum and fecal samples as potential diagnostic biomarkers, thus providing a rationale for precision diagnosis.

PHIStruct: Improving phage-host interaction prediction at low sequence similarity settings using structure-aware protein embeddings.

Bioinformatics Lab, Advanced Research Institute for Informatics, Computing and Networking, De La Salle University, Manila, 1004, Philippines.
Motivation: Recent computational approaches for predicting phage-host interaction have explored the use of sequence-only protein language models to produce embeddings of phage proteins without manual feature engineering. However, these embeddings do not directly capture protein structure information and structure-informed signals related to host specificity.
Results: We present PHIStruct, a multilayer perceptron that takes in structure-aware embeddings of receptor-binding proteins, generated via the structure-aware protein language model SaProt, and then predicts the host from among the ESKAPEE genera.

Nudiviruses (family ) are double-stranded DNA viruses that infect various insects and crustaceans. Among them, Heliothis zea nudivirus 1 (HzNV-1) represents the rare case of a lepidopteran nudivirus inducing a sexual pathology. Studies about molecular pathological dynamics of HzNV-1 or other nudiviruses are scarce.

Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) is an exemplar virus, still the most studied and best understood and a model for mechanisms of viral replication, immune evasion and pathogenesis. In this review, we consider the earliest stages of HIV infection from transport of the virion contents through the cytoplasm to integration of the viral genome into host chromatin. We present a holistic model for the virus-host interaction during this pivotal stage of infection.

Unlabelled: Group A (GAS) is a major human pathogen that causes several invasive diseases including necrotizing fasciitis. The host coagulation cascade initiates fibrin clots to sequester bacteria to prevent dissemination into deeper tissues. GAS, especially skin-tropic bacterial strains, utilize specific virulence factors, plasminogen binding M-protein (PAM) and streptokinase (SK), to manipulate hemostasis and activate plasminogen to cause fibrinolysis and fibrin clot escape.

Aims: The gastrointestinal (GI) tract is composed of distinct sub-regions, which exhibit segment-specific differences in microbial colonization and (patho)physiological characteristics. Gut microbes can be collectively considered as an active endocrine organ. Microbes produce metabolites, which can be taken up by the host and can actively communicate with the immune cells in the gut lamina propria with consequences for cardiovascular health.
