Legionella pneumophila balances ubiquitin transglutamination

Fujie Yan, Yongqun Zhu, Yan Zhou

EMBO J (2020) 39: e104258 | First Published: 28 January 2020

A new study reveals that L. pneumophila employs a non‐canonical ubiquitination/de‐ubiqutination cascade to allow precise temporal regulation of host immune response during infection.

Generation of a self‐cleaved inducible Cre recombinase for efficient temporal genetic manipulation

Xueying Tian, Lingjuan He, Kuo Liu, Wenjuan Pu, Huan Zhao, Yan Li, Xiuxiu Liu, Muxue Tang, Ruilin Sun, Jian Fei, Yong Ji, Zengyong Qiao, Kathy O Lui, Bin Zhou

EMBO J (2020) 39: e102675 | First Published: 14 January 2020

Methodological development of the inducible Cre recombinase system for in vivo genetic manipulation, based on self‐conversion of an inducible to a constitutively active Cre form, results in higher recombination efficiency than conventional Cre‐based systems.
