In members of the complex, the RD1 locus encodes a type VII secretion system involved in virulence. Herein, we describe the genome and transcriptomic analysis of 3488, a clinical isolate from a cat, with a 14.2 kb deletion that encompasses the RD1 locus.

The Esx-1 family proteins of the Type VII secretion systems of and have been assessed and are frequently used as candidates for tuberculosis (TB) diagnosis in both humans and animals. The presence of ESAT-6 and CFP 10 proteins, which are the most immunogenic proteins of the Esx-1 system and have been widely investigated for the immunodiagnosis of tuberculosis, in some and in , poses limitations for their use in specific diagnoses of TB. As such, to improve the specificity of the ESAT-6/CFP 10-based cell-mediated immunity (CMI) assays, other proteins encoded by genes within and outside the RD 1 region of the esx-1 locus have been evaluated as candidate antigens for CMI, as well as to investigate humoral responses in combination with ESAT-6 and or CFP 10, with varying specificity and sensitivity results.

Although multiple mechanisms have been studied, there is still a lack of effective treatment on non-motor symptoms in Parkinson's disease (PD) patients. Therapeutic effects of 5-(4-hydroxy-3-dimethoxybenzylidene)-thiazolidinone (RD-1), one of rhodamine derivatives, on motor recovery have been previously demonstrated, but its effects on non-motor symptoms remain unclear. Herein, we explored the beneficial effects of RD-1 on PD-related non-motor symptoms and changes in synaptic plasticity in the mesencephalon.

Tuberculosis remains a global health threat with high morbidity. Dendritic cells (DCs) participate in the acute and chronic inflammatory responses to Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) by directing the adaptive immune response and are present in lung granulomas. In macrophages, the interaction of lipid droplets (LDs) with mycobacteria-containing phagosomes is central to host-pathogen interactions.

Current genetic studies (e.g. gene knockout) have suggested that EsxA and EsxB function as secreted virulence factors that are essential for (Mtb) intracellular survival, specifically in mediating phagosome rupture and translocation of Mtb to the cytosol of host cells, which further facilitates Mtb intracellular replicating and cell-to-cell spreading.
