Non-exhaustive DNA methylation-mediated transposon silencing in the black truffle genome, a complex fungal genome with massive repeat element content

open access: yesGenome Biology, 2014
BackgroundWe investigated how an extremely transposon element (TE)-rich organism such as the plant-symbiotic ascomycete truffle Tuber melanosporum exploits DNA methylation to cope with the more than 45,000 repeated elements that populate its genome ...

Fungal Genomes and Insights into the Evolution of the Kingdom [PDF]

open access: yesMicrobiology Spectrum, 2017
ABSTRACT The kingdom Fungi comprises species that inhabit nearly all ecosystems. Fungi exist as both free-living and symbiotic unicellular and multicellular organisms with diverse morphologies. The genomes of fungi encode genes that enable them to thrive in diverse environments, invade plant and animal cells, and participate in ...

A Blast‐Resistant NLR Gene Confers Drought Resistance by Competitively Interacting with an E3 Ligase to Protect Phenylalanine Ammonia‐Lyase in Rice

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
The NLR protein PibH8 interacts with phenylalanine ammonia‐lyase OsPAL1 and E3 ubiquitin ligase OsFBK16. Through competitive binding, PibH8 weakens the interaction between OsFBK16 and OsPAL1, thereby reducing the degradation of OsPAL1 by OsFBK16. The Hap1 allele of PibH8 exhibits a higher expression level than Hap2, thus accumulating more PibH8 protein,

JGI Fungal Genomics Program [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Genomes of energy and environment fungi are in focus of the Fungal Genomic Program at the US Department of Energy Joint Genome Institute (JGI). Its key project, the Genomics Encyclopedia of Fungi, targets fungi related to plant health (symbionts, pathogens, and biocontrol agents) and biorefinery processes (cellulose degradation, sugar fermentation ...

Predicting essential genes in fungal genomes [PDF]

open access: yesGenome Research, 2006
Essential genes are required for an organism's viability, and the ability to identify these genes in pathogens is crucial to directed drug development. Predicting essential genes through computational methods is appealing because it circumvents expensive and difficult experimental screens.

Inhibition of RNase to Attenuate Fungal‐Manipulated Rhizosphere Microbiome and Diseases

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Fusarium graminearum uses its virulence effector Fg12, a fungal RNase, to manipulate the host rhizosphere microbiome and promote infection. Guanosine monophosphate (GMP) blocks Fg12's RNase activity. This reveals a key pathogen‐microbiota interaction mechanism and proposes GMP as a targeted strategy to disarm this core fungal effector, offering a ...

Transposable Elements Adaptive Role in Genome Plasticity, Pathogenicity and Evolution in Fungal Phytopathogens

open access: yesInternational Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2019
Transposable elements (TEs) are agents of genetic variability in phytopathogens as they are a source of adaptive evolution through genome diversification.

A Novel nor@DHB Matrix for Direct Microbial Analysis in Lung Cancer Tissues

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Integrated matrix‐assisted laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry workflow quantifies intratumoral microbes in lung cancer through lipopolysaccharide/lipid A extraction from biopsies. The novel ionic matrix called norharmane conjugated to 2,5‐dihydroxybenzoic acid enhances lipid A ionization, enabling direct detection of bacterial genera ...

Impact of Virus‐Mediated Modifications in Bacterial Communities on the Accumulation of Soil Organic Carbon

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
This study illustrates the impact of viruses on carbon cycling in soils with different availabilities of carbon. In conditions of low carbon availability, viruses adopt a lysogenic lifestyle, integrate into the host genomes and facilitate the degradation of carbon.

Association of secondary metabolite gene clusters with host-specific lineages of the cereal blast fungus Pyricularia oryzae

open access: yesPhytopathology Research
Fungal plant pathogens constantly evolve and deploy novel peptide and metabolite effectors to break down plant resistance and adapt to new host plants.
