Experimental evolution of mutualistic plant-microbe interactions in the rhizosphere [PDF]

, 2019
We are living on a hungry planet and securing food supply for the steadily increasing human population is a major challenge for mankind. The productivity of agricultural and horticultural crops is constrained by lack of nutrients, abiotic stressors as ...

A comprehensive, multi-method dataset of plant-frugivore interactions in a Mediterranean hotspot

Scientific Data
Mutualistic plant-animal interactions for seed dispersal are crucial for vegetation dynamics, benefiting over half of the world’s plant species. Beyond the tropics, the Mediterranean biome harbors the highest proportion of species adapted to endozoochory,

Animal–Plant Interactions Under Defaunation: Consequences for Amazonian Trees of Commercial Interest

Biotropica
ABSTRACT The decline of medium‐ and large‐bodied terrestrial mammal populations can compromise key ecological processes such as seed dispersal. We conducted an exclusion experiment to simulate a defaunation gradient, monitoring the removal of 1800 seeds from six plant species of commercial interest in the Amazon ...

The Shewanella oneidensis Fic enzyme SoFic targets the switch‐I region of EF‐Tu for AMPylation

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Fic enzymes mediate diverse post‐translational modifications across all domains of life, including AMPylation. Prokaryotic EF‐Tu can be AMPylated and deAMPylated by the conserved Fic enzyme SoFic. Structural and biochemical approaches were used to characterize the effect of AMPylation on EF‐Tu, SoFic's enzymatic activities, and the enzyme‐target ...

Activation of plant immunity by microbial Nep1-like protein patterns [PDF]

, 2018
Plants can detect pathogens on the inside and outside of their cells. Two types of plasma membrane receptors are employed by plants to detect pathogens extracellularly: receptor-like kinases (RLKs) and receptor-like proteins (RLPs).

Prospecting the protein design landscape

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
This review outlines the current state of various protein design approaches. We discuss the current possibilities enabled by recently released tools, highlight future avenues to pursue in protein design, and underscore the crucial role of key databases and resources for successful protein design workflows.

Animal virus-host interactions mediated by non-coding RNAs

Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology
Non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) have emerged as key regulators of animal virus-host interactions, such as lncRNAs, miRNAs and circRNAs providing profound insights into host-pathogen interactions and revealing significant potential as biomarkers and therapeutic ...

Artificial molecular machines and motors—Design and control of nanoscale motion

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Molecules are constantly moving because of thermal fluctuations, but random motion alone cannot be exploited to perform directional tasks. Artificial molecular machines use chemical, electrical, or light energy to bias this motion. Molecular shuttles, rotary motors, and supramolecular pumps illustrate how nanoscale movement can be controlled and ...

Leucine‐rich glioma inactivated 1 (LGI1) is a ganglioside‐binding protein

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Neuronal hyperexcitability associated with a decrease/absence of the extracellular protein LGI1 has been suggested to be primarily due to the downregulation of Kv1 channel expression. The molecular mechanisms underlying this decrease have not yet been elucidated.
