Twenty years ago, the first description of a tristetraprolin (TTP) knockout mouse highlighted the fundamental role of TTP in the restraint of inflammation. Since then, work from several groups has generated a detailed picture of the expression and function of TTP. It is a sequence-specific RNA-binding protein that orchestrates the deadenylation and degradation of several mRNAs encoding inflammatory mediators. It is very extensively post-translationally modified, with more than 30 phosphorylations that are supported by at least two independent lines of evidence. The phosphorylation of two particular residues, serines 52 and 178 of mouse TTP (serines 60 and 186 of the human orthologue), has profound effects on the expression, function and localisation of TTP. Here, we discuss the control of TTP biology via its phosphorylation and dephosphorylation, with a particular focus on recent advances and on questions that remain unanswered.

ABSTRACT Leishmaniasis includes a broad spectrum of pathological outcomes in humans caused by protozoan parasites from the genus Leishmania. In recent years, proteomic techniques have introduced novel proteins with critical functions in Leishmania parasites. Based on our report of a Chitin binding protein (CBP) in our previous immunoproteomic study, this article suggests that CBP might be an RNA binding protein (RBP) in Leishmania parasites. RBPs, as key regulatory factors, have a role in post-transcriptional gene regulation. The presence of RBPs in Leishmania parasites has not been considered so far; however, this study aims to open a new venue regarding RBPs in Leishmania parasites. Confirming CBP as an RBP in Leishmania parasites, exploring other RBPs and their functions might lead to interesting issues in leishmaniasis. In fact, due to the regulatory role of RBPs in different diseases including cancers and their further classification as therapeutic targets, the emerging evaluation of CBP and RBPs from Leishmania parasites may allow the discovery of novel and effective drugs against leishmaniasis.

ABSTRACT In gram-negative bacteria, the RNA-binding protein Hfq has emerged as an important regulatory factor in a variety of physiological processes, including stress resistance and virulence. In Escherichia coli, Hfq modulates the stability or the translation of mRNAs and interacts with numerous small regulatory RNAs. Here, we studied the role of Hfq in the stress tolerance and virulence of the gram-positive food-borne human pathogen Listeria monocytogenes. We present evidence that Hfq is involved in the ability of L. monocytogenes to tolerate osmotic and ethanol stress and contributes to long-term survival under amino acid-limiting conditions. However, Hfq is not required for resistance to acid and oxidative stress. Transcription of hfq is induced under various stress conditions, including osmotic and ethanol stress and at the entry into the stationary growth phase, thus supporting the view that Hfq is important for the growth and survival of L. monocytogenes in harsh environments. The stress-inducible transcription of hfq depends on the alternative sigma factor σB, which controls the expression of numerous stress- and virulence-associated genes in L. monocytogenes. Infection studies showed that Hfq contributes to pathogenesis in mice, yet plays no role in the infection of cultured cell lines. This study provides, for the first time, information on the role of Hfq in the stress tolerance and virulence of a gram-positive pathogen.
