Therapeutic potential of targeting IL-17   pp1022 - 1025
Sarah A Jones, Caroline E Sutton, Daniel Cua and Kingston H G Mills

TBK1 suppression of IgA in the NIK of time   pp1027 - 1029
Richard J Bram
doi:10.1038/ni.2451
The kinase TBK1 participates in signaling pathways that induce antimicrobial responses. TBK1 is also necessary for the suppression of excessive production of immunoglobulin A by accelerating destruction of the kinase NIK.

The case of the missing c-Myc   pp1029 - 1031
Arthur L Shaffer III and Louis M Staudt
doi:10.1038/ni.2455
A fundamental mystery of the biology of germinal center B cells is why it seems that these rapidly dividing B cells lack expression of c-Myc, a transcriptional regulator intimately linked to cell metabolism and proliferation. This mystery has now been resolved.

Balancing pro- and anti-inflammatory TLR4 signaling   pp1031 - 1033
Sabine Siegemund and Karsten Sauer
doi:10.1038/ni.2452
Limiting immune responses is critical for protecting the host from harm. The p110δ isoform of the kinase PI(3)K acts as a balance between pro- and anti-inflammatory TLR4 signaling in dendritic cells.

The ubiquitous nature of IL-17   pp1034 - 1035
Averil I Ma
doi:10.1038/ni.2448
The deubiquitinating enzyme USP25 restricts ubiquitination of the adaptors TRAF5 and TRAF6 and signaling via interleukin 17 and thus joins several ubiquitin-modifying enzymes already known to regulate this biomedically important pathway.

The p110δ isoform of the kinase PI(3)K controls the subcellular compartmentalization of TLR4 signaling and protects from endotoxic shock   pp1045 - 1054
Ezra Aksoy, Salma Taboubi, David Torres, Sandrine Delbauve, Abderrahman Hachani, Maria A Whitehead, Wayne P Pearce, Inma Berenjeno-Martin, Gemma Nock, Alain Filloux, Rudi Beyaert, Veronique Flamand and Bart Vanhaesebroeck
doi:10.1038/ni.2426
TLR4 signaling shifts from plasma membrane TIRAP-MyD88-mediated pathways to endosomal TRAM-TRIF-mediated signaling. Vanhaesebroeck and colleagues show that the kinase PI(3)K p110δ is required for TLR4 internalization and degradation of TIRAP.

Pellino3 targets the IRF7 pathway and facilitates autoregulation of TLR3- and viral-induced expression of type I interferons   pp1055 - 1062
Jakub Siednienko, Ruaidhri Jackson, Mark Mellett, Nezira Delagic, Shuo Yang, Bingwei Wang, Lisa S Tang, John J Callanan, Bernard P Mahon and Paul N Moynagh
doi:10.1038/ni.2429
Signaling through toll-like receptors induces cytokines and type I interferon. Moynagh and colleagues show that the E3 ubiquitin ligase Pellino3 specifically represses the expression of type I interferon in response to TLR3 activation.

Inhibition of TLR signaling by a bacterial protein containing immunoreceptor tyrosine-based inhibitory motifs   pp1063 - 1071
Dapeng Yan, Xingyu Wang, Lijun Luo, Xuetao Cao and Baoxue Ge
doi:10.1038/ni.2417
Successful pathogens can overcome innate immune defenses. Ge and colleagues show that Tir protein expressed by enteropathogenic Escherichia coli is injected into host cells, where it interferes with adaptor TRAF6-dependent signaling.

Monocytes-macrophages that express α-smooth muscle actin preserve primitive hematopoietic cells in the bone marrow   pp1072 - 1082
Aya Ludin, Tomer Itkin, Shiri Gur-Cohen, Alexander Mildner, Elias Shezen, Karin Golan, Orit Kollet, Alexander Kalinkovich, Ziv Porat, Gabriele D'Uva, Amir Schajnovitz, Elena Voronov, David A Brenner, Ron N Apte, Steffen Jung and Tsvee Lapidot
doi:10.1038/ni.2408
Hematopoietic stem cells must be shielded from toxic and inflammatory insults to ensure lifelong blood cell production. Lapidot and colleagues identify a rare bone marrow macrophage population that protects hematopoietic stem cells.

The proto-oncogene MYC is required for selection in the germinal center and cyclic reentry   pp1083 - 1091
David Dominguez-Sola, Gabriel D Victora, Carol Y Ying, Ryan T Phan, Masumichi Saito, Michel C Nussenzweig and Riccardo Dalla-Favera
doi:10.1038/ni.2428
The molecular control of germinal center selection is still being determined. Dalla-Favera and colleagues show that the cell-cycle regulator c-Myc is essential for B cell selection and reentry into the germinal center.

The cell-cycle regulator c-Myc is essential for the formation and maintenance of germinal centers   pp1092 - 1100
Dinis Pedro Calado, Yoshiteru Sasaki, Susana A Godinho, Alex Pellerin, Karl Köchert, Barry P Sleckman, Ignacio Moreno de Alborán, Martin Janz, Scott Rodig and Klaus Rajewsky
doi:10.1038/ni.2418
The regulator c-Myc is well known for controlling cell growth but, paradoxically, evidence for its involvement in germinal centers has proven elusive. Rajewsky and colleagues show that it is essential for their development and maintenance.

The kinase TBK1 controls IgA class switching by negatively regulating noncanonical NF-κB signaling   pp1101 - 1109
Jin Jin, Yichuan Xiao, Jae-Hoon Chang, Jiayi Yu, Hongbo Hu, Robyn Starr, George C Brittain, Mikyoung Chang, Xuhong Cheng and Shao-Cong Sun
doi:10.1038/ni.2423
How isotype-specific immunoglobulin production is regulated is largely unknown. Sun and colleagues show that the kinase TBK1 acts as a negative regulator of IgA class switching by attenuating NIK-mediated NF-κB signaling.

Negative regulation of IL-17-mediated signaling and inflammation by the ubiquitin-specific protease USP25   pp1110 - 1117
Bo Zhong, Xikui Liu, Xiaohu Wang, Seon Hee Chang, Xindong Liu, Aibo Wang, Joseph M Reynolds and Chen Dong
doi:10.1038/ni.2427
How IL-17 signaling is regulated remains poorly understood. Dong and colleagues identify the ubiquitin-specific protease USP25 as a negative regulator of IL-17-mediated signaling and inflammation.

doi:10.1038/ni.2419
By comparing gene-expression profiles, Randolph and colleagues distinguish different types of macrophages and pinpoint the differences between macrophages and dendritic cells.
