Detecting and responding to pathogenic bacteria is an essential function of eukaryotic cells. As bacteria-derived organelles, mitochondria carry lipids, proteins, and other molecules such as iron which are required for bacterial growth, and thus are subject to pathogenic bacterial attack. In fact, mitochondrial morphology and function are often altered during early bacterial infection. However, the mechanism by which bacterial pathogen attack triggers mitochondrial responses is unknown. Here, we demonstrate that infection by the pathogenic bacterium Staphylococcus aureus or Pseudomonas aeruginosa or hypoxia leads to remodeling of the mitochondrial network in the host Caenorhabditis elegans. Our analysis discovers that lysosome-related organelle (LRO) genes are required for this remodeling and indicates that LROs also precipitate downstream infection-response gene expression.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
