Proteinaceous Effector Discovery and Characterization in Plant Pathogenic Colletotrichum Fungi
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2022 Anthracnose caused by plant pathogenic Colletotrichum fungi results in large economic losses in field crop production worldwide. To aid the establishment of plant host infection, Colletotrichum pathogens secrete numerous effector proteins either in ...

The genome sequence and effector complement of the flax rust pathogen Melampsora lini [PDF]
, 2016 Rust fungi cause serious yield reductions on crops, including wheat, barley, soybean, coffee, and represent real threats to global food security. Of these fungi, the flax rust pathogen Melampsora lini has been developed most extensively over the past 80 ...

Cancer therapeutic potential of combinatorial immuno- and vaso-modulatory interventions [PDF]
, 2015 Currently, most of the basic mechanisms governing tumor-immune system interactions, in combination with modulations of tumor-associated vasculature, are far from being completely understood.

Nuocytes represent a new innate effector leukocyte that mediates type-2 immunity
Nature, 2010 Innate immunity provides the first line of defence against invading pathogens and provides important cues for the development of adaptive immunity. Type-2 immunity—responsible for protective immune responses to helminth parasites and the underlying cause

Targeting the CBM complex causes Treg cells to prime tumours for immune checkpoint therapy. [PDF]
, 2019 Solid tumours are infiltrated by effector T cells with the potential to control or reject them, as well as by regulatory T (Treg) cells that restrict the function of effector T cells and thereby promote tumour growth1.

Juvenile Spider Mites Induce Salicylate Defenses, but Not Jasmonate Defenses, Unlike Adults
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2020 When plants detect herbivores they strengthen their defenses. As a consequence, some herbivores evolved the means to suppress these defenses. Research on induction and suppression of plant defenses usually makes use of particular life stages of ...

An RxLR effector from phytophthora infestans prevents re-localisation of two plant NAC transcription factors from the endoplasmic reticulum to the nucleus [PDF]
, 2013 The plant immune system is activated following the perception of exposed, essential and invariant microbial molecules that are recognised as non-self. A major component of plant immunity is the transcriptional induction of genes involved in a wide array ...

Coxiella burnetii Blocks Intracellular Interleukin-17 Signaling in Macrophages [PDF]
, 2018 Coxiella burnetii is an obligate intracellular bacterium and the etiological agent of Q fever. Successful host cell infection requires the Coxiella type IVB secretion system (T4BSS), which translocates bacterial effector proteins across the vacuole ...

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
