Exciting PhD project understanding how replicatively aged fungal cells contribute to antimicrobial resistance.

(1/3) We are excited that our paper linking metabolism and regulation of immunity-linked genes is out in @ScienceAdvances, with an image highlighted on the front page! @ProgMolMed, @UMassChan, science.org/doi/10.1126/scia…

Membrane lipid imbalances are sufficient to activate immunity-linked genes, which may act as part of a secretory stress pathway.

(2/3) We found that these genes are activated when the secretory system is stressed, which happens when lipid ratios are out of wack in the secretory system, when blocking the ARF-1 GTPase disrupts Golgi function or when secreted protein load is increased. This could explain

(3/3) why these genes are so strongly unregulated in a pathogen challenge, since antimicrobial peptide production ramps up as well. Big shout to authors Matt Fanelli, @ChristoferWelsh, Lorissa Smulan and Dom Lui.

Jessica Spinelli, PhD, believes sharing goals and approaches to discovery with other researchers can bring about new knowledge, even when the diseases in play are very different. Learn why: direc.to/ka7d #AdvancingTogether @JBSpinelli @ProgMolMed
