Just one of many high-quality articles from Frontiers in Immunology

Cellular-level versus receptor-level response threshold hierarchies in T-cell activation (open access)
In this original research article, the findings of Hugo Van Den Berg and colleagues elucidate the relationship between TCR/pMHCI kinetics and cellular function, thereby providing an integrated mechanistic understanding of T-cell response profiles.

ADAPted secretion of cytokines in NK cells   pp1108 - 1110
Eric Vivier, Sophie Ugolini and Jacques A Nunès
doi:10.1038/ni.2737
A signaling module consisting of the adaptor ADAP and the Carma1-Bcl-10-MALT1 (CBM)-TAK1 signalosome has been shown to selectively induce cytokine secretion but not cytotoxicity in natural killer cells.

Polarized effector programs for innate-like thymocytes   pp1110 - 1111
Benjamin D McDonald, Michael G Constantinides and Albert Bendelac
doi:10.1038/ni.2739
Distinct lineages of natural killer T cells arise in the thymus and are characterized by the signature transcription factors T-bet, GATA-3 or RORγt.

You break it, you fix it: functions for AID downstream of deamination   pp1112 - 1114
Rebecca K Delker and F Nina Papavasiliou
doi:10.1038/ni.2738
In a phosphorylation-dependent positive feedback loop, the cytidine deaminase AID amplifies the generation of double-strand DNA breaks, which shows it can also function downstream of deamination.

Bypassing T cell 'exhaustion'   pp1114 - 1116
Joachim R Göthert
doi:10.1038/ni.2742
The hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF) pathway controls diverse aspects of the immunological response. Enhanced HIF activity is able to extend and potentiate the effector response of CD8+ T cells against chronic infections and tumor growth.

Effect of helminth-induced immunity on infections with microbial pathogens   pp1118 - 1126
Padmini Salgame, George S Yap and William C Gause
doi:10.1038/ni.2736
Under natural conditions, infections never occur in isolation, yet immunologists rarely consider the immunological outcome of multiple infections. In this Review, Gause and colleagues discuss how helminth infection affects antibacterial and antiviral responses.

Signaling by Fyn-ADAP via the Carma1-Bcl-10-MAP3K7 signalosome exclusively regulates inflammatory cytokine production in NK cells   pp1127 - 1136
Kamalakannan Rajasekaran, Pawan Kumar, Kristina M Schuldt, Erik J Peterson, Bart Vanhaesebroeck et al.
doi:10.1038/ni.2708
Effector responses of NK cells occur via cytoxicity and cytokine secretion. Malarkannan and colleagues identify a signaling module that selectively controls the cytokine production of NK cells.

CD1d-lipid antigen recognition by the γδ TCR   pp1137 - 1145
Adam P Uldrich, Jérôme Le Nours, Daniel G Pellicci, Nicholas A Gherardin, Kirsty G McPherson et al.
doi:10.1038/ni.2713
How γδ TCRs bind antigen presented by antigen-presenting molecules remains unclear. Godfrey and colleagues describe a population of human γδ T cells that interacts with CD1d and provide a molecular basis for how a γδ TCR binds CD1d-α-GalCer.

Steady-state production of IL-4 modulates immunity in mouse strains and is determined by lineage diversity of iNKT cells   pp1146 - 1154
You Jeong Lee, Keli L Holzapfel, Jinfang Zhu, Stephen C Jameson and Kristin A Hogquist
doi:10.1038/ni.2731
Mature invariant natural killer T cells (iNKT cells) are an early innate source of cytokines. Hogquist and colleagues classify three lineages of iNKT cells by their distinct transcription factors and cytokine profiles.

The transcription factor IRF4 is essential for TCR affinity-mediated metabolic programming and clonal expansion of T cells   pp1155 - 1165
Kevin Man, Maria Miasari, Wei Shi, Annie Xin, Darren C Henstridge et al.
doi:10.1038/ni.2710
Clonal expansion of cytotoxic T lymphocytes entails profound energetic demands. Kallies and colleagues show that the transcription factor IRF4 is critical for the metabolic reprogramming, survival and effector function of these cells during clonal expansion.

Defective sphingosine 1-phosphate receptor 1 (S1P1) phosphorylation exacerbates TH17-mediated autoimmune neuroinflammation   pp1166 - 1172
Christopher S Garris, Linfeng Wu, Swati Acharya, Ahmet Arac, Victoria A Blaho et al.
doi:10.1038/ni.2730
S1P1 is a sphingosine phosphate receptor expressed on lymphocytes. Han and colleagues show that phosphorylated S1P1 accumulates in brain lesions of patients with multiple sclerosis. Similarly, mice bearing mutant S1P1 develop more severe experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis.

Hypoxia-inducible factors enhance the effector responses of CD8+ T cells to persistent antigen   pp1173 - 1182
Andrew L Doedens, Anthony T Phan, Martin H Stradner, Jessica K Fujimoto, Jessica V Nguyen et al.
doi:10.1038/ni.2714
The transcription factor HIF is induced in response to hypoxic stress, TCR activation and cytokines. Goldrath and colleagues show that HIF signaling enhances CTL effector responses and can render cells refractory to immune exhaustion.

A DNA break- and phosphorylation-dependent positive feedback loop promotes immunoglobulin class-switch recombination   pp1183 - 1189
Bao Q Vuong, Kayleigh Herrick-Reynolds, Bharat Vaidyanathan, Joseph N Pucella, Anna J Ucher et al.
doi:10.1038/ni.2732
The cytidine deaminase AID mediates immunoglobulin class-switch recombination. Chaudhuri and colleagues show that a phosphorylation-dependent positive feedback loop regulates AID activity and is initiated by DNA breaks.

Expression and regulation of intergenic long noncoding RNAs during T cell development and differentiation   pp1190 - 1198
Gangqing Hu, Qingsong Tang, Suveena Sharma, Fang Yu, Thelma M Escobar et al.
doi:10.1038/ni.2712
Intergenic long noncoding RNAs (lincRNAs) regulate gene expression in various tissues. Zhao and colleagues identify 1,524 lincRNA clusters in thymocytes and mature T cell subsets and reveal dynamic and cell-specific patterns of lincRNA expression during T cell differentiation.
