Question: Multiple sclerosis (MS) shows a multifold increase in prevalence with an increase in latitudes, both north and south of the equator. One of the potential factors related to the difference of the prevalence is vitamin D, because the strength of ambient ultraviolet light, which is essential for vitamin D production, decreases with increasing latitude. It is known that vitamin D has immunomodulatory functions and suppresses an animal model of MS. It is also considered that vitamin D-related genes are critical susceptible genes for MS. An approach from environmental and genetic aspects is needed to investigate the association between vitamin D and MS.

Answer: [Vitamin D and latitude as environmental factors in multiple sclerosis].

Question: Caspase recruitment domain-containing membrane-associated guanylate kinase protein-1 (CARMA1) is a critical component of the NF-kappaB signaling cascade mediated by TCR engagement. In addition to activation of naive T cells, TCR signaling is important for the development of agonist-selected T-cell subsets such as Treg, NKT cells, and CD8-alpha alpha T cells. However, little is known about the role of CARMA1 in the development of these lineages. Here we show that CARMA1-deficient mice (CARMA1(-/-)) have altered populations of specific subsets of agonist-selected T cells. Specifically, CARMA1(-/-) mice have impaired natural and adaptive Treg development, whereas NKT cell numbers are normal compared with wild-type mice. Interestingly, CD8-alpha alpha T cells, which may also be able to develop through an extrathymic selection pathway, are enriched in the gut of CARMA1(-/-) mice, whereas memory-phenotype CD4(+) T cells (CD62L(low)/CD44(high)) are present at reduced numbers in the periphery. These results indicate that CARMA1 is essential for Treg development, but is not necessary for the development of other agonist-selected T-cell subsets. Overall, these data reveal an important but differential role for CARMA1-mediated TCR signaling in T-cell development.

Answer: Differential requirement for CARMA1 in agonist-selected T-cell development.

Question: The bacterial type VI secretion system (T6SS) is a large multicomponent, dynamic macromolecular machine that has an important role in the ecology of many Gram-negative bacteria. T6SS is responsible for translocation of a wide range of toxic effector molecules, allowing predatory cells to kill both prokaryotic as well as eukaryotic prey cells. The T6SS organelle is functionally analogous to contractile tails of bacteriophages and is thought to attack cells by initially penetrating them with a trimeric protein complex called the VgrG spike. Neither the exact protein composition of the T6SS organelle nor the mechanisms of effector selection and delivery are known. Here we report that proteins from the PAAR (proline-alanine-alanine-arginine) repeat superfamily form a sharp conical extension on the VgrG spike, which is further involved in attaching effector domains to the spike. The crystal structures of two PAAR-repeat proteins bound to VgrG-like partners show that these proteins sharpen the tip of the T6SS spike complex. We demonstrate that PAAR proteins are essential for T6SS-mediated secretion and target cell killing by Vibrio cholerae and Acinetobacter baylyi. Our results indicate a new model of the T6SS organelle in which the VgrG-PAAR spike complex is decorated with multiple effectors that are delivered simultaneously into target cells in a single contraction-driven translocation event.

Answer:
PAAR-repeat proteins sharpen and diversify the Type VI secretion system spike
