Serum proteases prevent bacterial biofilm formation: role of kallikrein and plasmin

Virulence, 2021
Biofilm formation is a general strategy for bacterial pathogens to withstand host defense mechanisms. In this study, we found that serum proteases inhibit biofilm formation by Neisseria meningitidis, Neisseria gonorrhoeae, Haemophilus influenzae, and ...

Generation of recombinant influenza A virus without M2 ion-channel protein by introduction of a point mutation at the 5′ end of the viral intron [PDF]

, 2005
The aim of this study was to inhibit influenza virus M2 protein expression by mutating the splicing signal of the M gene. Mutations were introduced into the GU dinucleotide sequence at the 5′-proximal splicing site of the M gene (corresponding to nt 52 ...

Ustilago hordei Delivers Heterologous Fungal Effectors for Screening and Characterisation in Wheat

Plant Pathology, Volume 75, Issue 2, March/April 2026.
Ustilago hordei, a barley pathogen, has been engineered to deliver effectors of fungal pathogens in wheat. Necrosis‐inducing activities of Parastagonospora nodorum effectors SnTOX1 and SnTOX3 can effectively be screened for. Challenges occur when stem rust fungus avirulence effectors are tested in this secretion system.

A comprehensive overview of yeast libraries and their role in advancing cell biology

The FEBS Journal, Volume 293, Issue 3, Page 625-647, February 2026.
Systematic, genome‐wide yeast mutant libraries have revolutionized systems and cell biology. By allowing high‐throughput interrogation of every gene and protein, they have defined gene essentiality, charted protein localization, illuminated function, mapped interactions, and more.
