Modulation of Homer1 EVH1 domain internal dynamics by putative autism‐associated mutations

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
The putative autism‐associated M65I and S97L variants of the EVH1 domain of the postsynaptic scaffold protein Homer1 do not exhibit substantial changes in their overall structure or partner binding. Both of them, but especially the M65I variant, show altered internal dynamics relative to the wild‐type domain on the μs‐ms timescale, indicated by the ...

Invasive alien clonal plants are competitively superior over co-occurring native clonal plants [PDF]

Perspectives in Plant Ecology, Evolution and Systematics, 2019
Abstract Alien plant invasions are a major component of global change, and can severely threaten local floras and global biodiversity. A striking pattern of invasive floras is that many of the world’s worst invasive plants are clonal species. However, it is still unclear whether invasive clonal plant species are in general competitively superior over

From mice to humans—divergent strategies for intestinal homeostasis and regeneration

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Recent advances such as organoid genome editing, xenotransplantation, imaging, and whole‐genome sequencing have enabled direct studies of human intestinal stem cells (ISCs). These studies reveal species‐specific features, including slower ISC proliferation, distinct injury responses, slower somatic mutation accumulation in humans, and an inverse ...

Developmentally Programmed Division of Labor in the Aquatic Invader Alternanthera philoxeroides Under Homogeneous Soil Nutrients

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2019
Clonal traits can contribute to plant invasiveness, but little is known about the roles of division of labor (a key clonal trait) in homogeneous habitats. The hypothesis tested is that clonal integration allows division of labor and increases the overall

Effects of a spatially heterogeneous nutrient distribution on the growth of clonal wetland plants

BMC Ecology, 2020
Background Clonal plants are important in maintaining wetland ecosystems. The main growth types of clonal plants are the guerrilla and phalanx types. However, little is known about the effects of these different clonal growth types on plant plasticity in

Structural insights and therapeutic targets in Acinetobacter baumannii capsule biosynthesis

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Hypervirulent KL49 A. baumannii's capsular polysaccharide contains the nonulosonic acid 8‐epi‐Leg5,7Ac2, synthesized by epimerization via ElaA, ElaB, and ElaC. Crystal structures of ElaA, ElaB, and ElaC reveal their role in CMP‐Leg5,7Ac2 synthesis and regioselective C8 epimerization.

A Field Survey of Grapevine Germplasm Susceptible to Eutypa Dieback

HortScience
Eutypa dieback of grapevine is a trunk disease that impacts vineyard productivity worldwide. Grape germplasm is typically evaluated for resistance to Eutypa dieback through controlled inoculations in the greenhouse, although the high level of replication

A microorganisms’ journey between plant generations

Microbiome, 2018
Background Plants are colonized by a great diversity of microorganisms which form a microbiota and perform additional functions for their host. This microbiota can thus be considered a toolbox enabling plants to buffer local environmental changes, with a

Three phosphatase families form a community: The phosphohydrolases that act upon inositol pyrophosphates

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Inositol pyrophosphates are energy‐rich signaling molecules that perform critical functions in cells. Three different families of phosphatases hydrolyze the β phosphate of the inositol pyrophosphate molecules: two have narrow specificities and one is promiscuous.

Characterization of Genetic Diversity in the Capsid Protein Gene of Grapevine Fleck Virus and Development of a New Real-Time RT-PCR Assay

Viruses
The grapevine fleck virus (GFkV) is a ubiquitous grapevine-infecting virus found worldwide, is associated with the grapevine fleck complex, and is often found in mixed infections with viruses of the grapevine leafroll complex and/or vitiviruses. Although
