Recent Advances in the Molecular Mechanisms of Bacterial Anti‐Phage Defence Systems

Microbial Biotechnology, Volume 19, Issue 8, August 2026.
Panoptes as an example for an antiphage system consists of OptS producing a cyclic dinucleotide that prevents activation of OptE, a transmembrane protein. Phage T4 infection introduces the sponge protein Acb2 that adsorbs the cyclic dinucleotide thus activating OptE which disrupts the cell membrane aborting phage infection.

Nuclear Argonaute protein NRDE-3 switches small RNA partners during embryogenesis to mediate temporal-specific gene regulatory activity

eLife
RNA interference (RNAi) is a conserved pathway that utilizes Argonaute proteins and their associated small RNAs to exert gene regulatory function on complementary transcripts.

Argonaute bypasses cellular obstacles without hindrance during target search

Nature Communications, 2019
Argonaute protein is loaded with small RNA and scans long stretch of sequences to find complementary target sites. Here, using single-molecule FRET and kinetic modelling, the authors showed that prokaryotic Argonaute protein binds target DNA loosely and ...

Emerging experimental and bioinformatic approaches in RNA interference‐based pest control research

Insect Molecular Biology, Volume 35, Issue 4, Page 364-375, August 2026.
Double‐stranded RNA (dsRNA) visualization, RNA‐induced silencing complex (RISC)‐bound sRNA‐seq and RNA degradomics allow investigating dsRNA uptake and processing, guide small interfering RNA selection and RISC‐mediated target mRNA cleavages. Transcriptomic and proteomic profiles of genome‐wide responses to dsRNA, including off‐target and compensatory ...

The Significance of the Regulation Between tRF‐31‐U5YKFN8DYDZDD and BMPER in the Pathogenesis of Gastric Cancer (GC)

Journal of Cellular and Molecular Medicine, Volume 30, Issue 16, August 2026.
ABSTRACT tsRNAs are a kind of small non‐coding single‐stranded RNA, which play an important role in many kinds of tumours. Previous studies have identified that tRF‐31‐U5YKFN8DYDZDD can be used as a novel tumour biomarker for the diagnosis and prognosis of gastric cancer (GC).

Decoding MAPK cascades in plant immunity: Activation, regulation, integration, and pathogen manipulation

Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, Volume 68, Issue 8, Page 3000-3024, August 2026.
This review focuses on mitogen‐activated protein kinase (MAPK) activation and summarizes how plants regulate and integrate MAPK signaling in modulating plant immune responses. It also examines the effectors pathogens have evolved to manipulate MAPK activation and thereby inhibit plant immunity.

Asgard archaea defense systems and their roles in the origin of eukaryotic immunity

Nature Communications
Dozens of new antiviral systems have been recently characterized in bacteria. Some of these systems are present in eukaryotes and appear to have originated in prokaryotes, but little is known about these defense mechanisms in archaea.
