Moya-Beltrán A., Rojas-Villalobos C., Díaz M., Guiliani N., Quatrini R., Castro M. Nucleotide second messenger-based signaling in extreme acidophiles of the Acidithiobacillus species complex: partition between the core and variable gene complements. Front. Microbiol. 10: 381. DOI:10.3389/fmicb.2019.00381 (2019)
In this publication we address the challenge of disentangling the nucleotide-driven signal transduction pathways in the acidophilic bacterial genus Acidithiobacillus, using pangenome-based comparative genomic strategies. Molecular elements of c-di-GMP metabolism and transduction were mostly found scattered along the flexible genome of the acidithiobacilli, allowing the identification of probable control modules that could be critical for substrate colonization, biofilm development and intercellular interactions. Findings presented open new ways to explore molecular circuits to control biomining microorganism behaviours.

Here we provide genetic and pharmacologic evidence indicating how dopaminergic signalling impairs the suppressive activity and the recruitment of Treg into the gut mucosa upon intestinal inflammation.
