Immune to addiction: the ethical dimensions of vaccines against substance abuse pp521 - 524

DOCKing innate to adaptive signaling for persistent antibody production pp525 - 526
Markus Werner and Hassan Jumaa
doi:10.1038/ni.2317
Protection against recurrent infections requires the generation of memory B cells and persistent antibody production. An adaptor complex of DOCK8-MyD88-Pyk2 now links signaling via TLR9 to activation of the transcription factor STAT3 and the establishment of serological memory.

Don't mess with ERAAP! pp526 - 528
Jonathan W Yewdell and Xiuju Lu
doi:10.1038/ni.2306
Immunosurveillance monitors subversion of the endoplasmic reticulum aminopeptidase ERAAP. ERAAP-deficient cells are killed by T cells that recognize nonclassical major histocompatibility complex class I Qa-1 molecules presenting peptides generated in the absence of ERAAP.

Death diverted, but to what? pp528 - 530
Gretta L Stritesky and Kristin A Hogquist
doi:10.1038/ni.2311
The role of the coreceptor CD28 in thymic clonal deletion has been controversial. New evidence suggests that CD28 deficiency impairs the clonal deletion of self-reactive T cells but also results in their developmental diversion to an anergic lineage that ends up in the gut.

Tespa1: another gatekeeper for positive selection pp530 - 532
Nicholas R J Gascoigne and Guo Fu
doi:10.1038/ni.2315
A previously unknown protein, Tespa1, that regulates the thymocyte positive-selection checkpoint has now been identified. The phenotype of Tespa1-deficient mice and the role of Tespa1 in thymocyte signaling are very similar to those of Themis-deficient mice and Themis itself, another recently described but unrelated protein.

Genetic variation in Toll-like receptors and disease susceptibility pp535 - 542

Translational control of the activation of transcription factor NF-κB and production of type I interferon by phosphorylation of the translation factor eIF4E pp543 - 550
Barbara Herdy, Maritza Jaramillo, Yuri V Svitkin, Amy B Rosenfeld, Mariko Kobayashi, Derek Walsh, Tommy Alain, Polen Sean, Nathaniel Robichaud, Ivan Topisirovic, Luc Furic, Ryan J O Dowling, Annie Sylvestre, Liwei Rong, Rodney Colina, Mauro Costa-Mattioli, Jörg H Fritz, Martin Olivier, Earl Brown, Ian Mohr and Nahum Sonenberg
doi:10.1038/ni.2291
The eukaryotic translation-initiation factor eIF4E is a rate-limiting factor in protein translation. Sonenberg and colleagues show that phosphorylation of eIF4E modulates the antiviral response by selectively stimulating translation of the NF-κB inhibitor IκBα

Constitutive MHC class I molecules negatively regulate TLR-triggered inflammatory responses via the Fps-SHP-2 pathway pp551 - 559
Sheng Xu, Xingguang Liu, Yan Bao, Xuhui Zhu, Chaofeng Han, Peng Zhang, Xuemin Zhang, Weihua Li and Xuetao Cao
doi:10.1038/ni.2283
Major histocompatibility complex (MHC) molecules are known to mediate reverse signaling. Cao and colleagues show that reverse signaling via MHC class I attenuates Toll-like receptor-triggered innate inflammatory responses through an Fps-SHP-2 pathway.

Tespa1 is involved in late thymocyte development through the regulation of TCR-mediated signaling pp560 - 568
Di Wang, Mingzhu Zheng, Lei Lei, Jian Ji, Yunliang Yao, Yuanjun Qiu, Lie Ma, Jun Lou, Chuan Ouyang, Xue Zhang, Yuewei He, Jun Chi, Lie Wang, Ying Kuang, Jianli Wang, Xuetao Cao and Linrong Lu
doi:10.1038/ni.2301
Positive selection of thymocytes is controlled by TCR expression and signaling. Lu and colleagues describe a previously uncharacterized protein, Tespa1, which associates with TCR signaling components and has a critical role in positive selection.

Clonal deletion and the fate of autoreactive thymocytes that survive negative selection pp569 - 578
Leonid A Pobezinsky, Georgi S Angelov, Xuguang Tai, Susanna Jeurling, François Van Laethem, Lionel Feigenbaum, Jung-Hyun Park and Alfred Singer
doi:10.1038/ni.2292
The role of costimulation in negative selection is controversial. Singer and colleagues demonstrate that it is critical for clonal deletion and its absence results in the diversion of thymocytes to an intraepithelial lymphocyte population.

Nonclassical MHC class Ib-restricted cytotoxic T cells monitor antigen processing in the endoplasmic reticulum pp579 - 586
Niranjana A Nagarajan, Federico Gonzalez and Nilabh Shastri
doi:10.1038/ni.2282
The aminopeptidase ERAAP trims peptides loaded onto MHC class I molecules and can be targeted during evasion of the immune response by pathogens. Shastri and colleagues show that inhibition of ERAAP identifies a protective nonclassical MHC presentation pathway involving Qa-1.

TGF-β and retinoic acid induce the microRNA miR-10a, which targets Bcl-6 and constrains the plasticity of helper T cells pp587 - 595
Hayato Takahashi, Tomohiko Kanno, Shingo Nakayamada, Kiyoshi Hirahara, Giuseppe Sciumé, Stefan A Muljo, Stefan Kuchen, Rafael Casellas, Lai Wei, Yuka Kanno and John J O'Shea
doi:10.1038/ni.2286
Polarized CD4+ T cells can demonstrate considerable plasticity depending on the cytokine milieu they encounter. O'Shea and colleagues show that retinoic acid induces the microRNA miR-10a, which suppresses the transcription factor Bcl-6 to prevent conversion into follicular helper T cells.

TRIM28 prevents autoinflammatory T cell development in vivo  pp596 - 603
Shunsuke Chikuma, Naomasa Suita, Il-Mi Okazaki, Shiro Shibayama and Tasuku Honjo
doi:10.1038/ni.2293
TRIM28 is a nuclear protein associated with repressive heterochromatin. Honjo and colleagues show that loss of TRIM28 in T cells alters peripheral T cell homeostasis and regulatory T cell function, which leads to autoimmunity.

Divergent transcriptional programming of class-specific B cell memory by T-bet and RORα pp604 - 611
Nathaniel S Wang, Louise J McHeyzer-Williams, Shinji L Okitsu, Thomas P Burris, Steven L Reiner and Michael G McHeyzer-Williams
doi:10.1038/ni.2294
Activated B cells can tailor their ensuing antibody responses by isotype switching. McHeyzer-Williams and colleagues demonstrate B cell-intrinsic requirements for the transcription factors T-bet and RORα in maintaining IgG2a+ and IgA+ memory cells, respectively.

DOCK8 functions as an adaptor that links TLR-MyD88 signaling to B cell activation pp612 - 620
Haifa H Jabara, Douglas R McDonald, Erin Janssen, Michel J Massaad, Narayanaswamy Ramesh, Arturo Borzutzky, Ingrid Rauter, Halli Benson, Lynda Schneider, Sachin Baxi, Mike Recher, Luigi D Notarangelo, Rima Wakim, Ghassan Dbaibo, Majed Dasouki, Waleed Al-Herz, Isil Barlan, Safa Baris, Necil Kutukculer, Hans D Ochs, Alessandro Plebani, Maria Kanariou, Gerard Lefranc, Ismail Reisli, Katherine A Fitzgerald, Douglas Golenbock, John Manis, Sevgi Keles, Reuben Ceja, Talal A Chatila and Raif S Geha
doi:10.1038/ni.2305
Dock8 deficiency leads to defects in humoral immunity. Geha and colleagues show that Dock88 interacts with MyD88 to bridge TLR9 signaling to the Src-Syk-STAT3 pathway to promote B cell proliferation and differentiation.
