The Effector Function of Allergens [PDF]
Frontiers in Allergy, 2022 Allergens are antigens that generate an IgE response (sensitization) in susceptible individuals. The allergenicity of an allergen can be thought of in terms of its ability to sensitize as well as its ability to cross-link IgE/IgE receptor complexes on mast cells and basophils leading to release of preformed and newly formed mediators (effector activity)

Effector Glycosyltransferases in Legionella [PDF]
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2011 Legionella causes severe pneumonia in humans. The pathogen produces an array of effectors, which interfere with host cell functions. Among them are the glucosyltransferases Lgt1, Lgt2 and Lgt3 from L. pneumophila. Lgt1 and Lgt2 are produced predominately in the post-exponential phase of bacterial growth, while synthesis of Lgt3 is induced mainly in the

Oxysterols and Their Cellular Effectors [PDF]
Biomolecules, 2012 Oxysterols are oxidized 27-carbon cholesterol derivatives or by-products of cholesterol biosynthesis, with a spectrum of biologic activities. Several oxysterols have cytotoxic and pro-apoptotic activities, the ability to interfere with the lateral domain organization, and packing of membrane lipids.

Insights into Phakopsora pachyrhizi Effector–Effector Interactions
Molecular Plant-Microbe Interactions®, 2023 The multifaceted role of pathogen-encoded effectors in plant–pathogen interactions is complex and not fully understood. Effectors operate within intricate host environments, interacting with host proteins and other effectors to modulate virulence.

Effector Caspases and Leukemia [PDF]
International Journal of Cell Biology, 2011 Caspases, a family of aspartate-specific cysteine proteases, play a major role in apoptosis and a variety of physiological and pathological processes. Fourteen mammalian caspases have been identified and can be divided into two groups: inflammatory caspases and apoptotic caspases.

The Complexity of Finding Effectors [PDF]
Theory of Computing Systems, 2015 The NP-hard EFFECTORS problem on directed graphs is motivated by applications in network mining, particularly concerning the analysis of probabilistic information-propagation processes in social networks. In the corresponding model the arcs carry probabilities and there is a probabilistic diffusion process activating nodes by neighboring activated ...

Effectors and Effector Delivery in Magnaporthe oryzae
PLoS Pathogens, 2014 Rice blast caused by Magnaporthe oryzae is one of the most destructive fungal diseases of rice and a model for studying fungal-plant interactions. The fungus penetrates plant cells with appressoria and develops the narrow primary invasive hyphae (IH) and, subsequently, the bulbous secondary IH.
