Holland M, Rutkowski R, C Levin T
Mol Biol Evol . 2024 Oct; 41(12). PMID: 39431598
Caspase-1 and related proteases are key players in inflammation and innate immunity. Here, we characterize the evolutionary history of caspase-1 and its close relatives across 19 primates and 21 rodents,...

Culbertson E, C Levin T
Cell Host Microbe . 2024 Sep; 32(9):1466-1468. PMID: 39265534
Two recent studies in Cell Host & Microbe (Cury et al. and van den Berg et al.) uncover cross-kingdom links between antiphage and antiviral immune defenses. Through reciprocal computational and...

Culbertson E, C Levin T
PLoS Biol . 2023 Dec; 21(12):e3002436. PMID: 38064485
Animals use a variety of cell-autonomous innate immune proteins to detect viral infections and prevent replication. Recent studies have discovered that a subset of mammalian antiviral proteins have homology to...

Holland M, Farinella D, Cruz-Lorenzo E, Laubscher M, Doakes D, Ramos M, et al.
mBio . 2023 Sep; 14(5):e0120723. PMID: 37728338
Before environmental opportunistic pathogens can infect humans, they must first successfully grow and compete with other microbes in nature, often via secreted antimicrobials. We previously discovered that the bacterium ,...

C Levin T
mSphere . 2021 Sep; 6(5):e0078021. PMID: 34585965
Tera Levin works in the fields of evolution, microbiology, and genetics, studying how adaptation shapes the molecular interactions between eukaryotic hosts and bacterial pathogens. In this mSphere of Influence article,...

Richter D, C Levin T
Curr Opin Genet Dev . 2019 Nov; 58-59:111-122. PMID: 31731216
To survive in a world dominated by bacteria, eukaryotes have evolved numerous self-defense strategies. While some defenses are recent evolutionary innovations, others are ancient, with roots early in eukaryotic history....

C Levin T, Goldspiel B, Malik H
Elife . 2019 May; 8. PMID: 31134893
To persist in microbial communities, the bacterial pathogen must withstand competition from neighboring bacteria. Here, we find that can antagonize the growth of other species using a secreted inhibitor: HGA...

Wetzel L, C Levin T, Hulett R, Chan D, King G, Aldayafleh R, et al.
Elife . 2018 Dec; 7. PMID: 30556809
In a previous study we established forward genetics in the choanoflagellate and found that a C-type lectin gene is required for rosette development (Levin , 2014). Here we report on...
