CP32, a novel anti‐oomycete cyclic peptide, interferes with cell‐wall deposition in Phytophthora infestans

Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, EarlyView.
The small cyclic peptide CP32 effectively inhibits Phytophthora infestans, the causal agent of potato and tomato late blight. Combined biochemical and phenotypic analyses demonstrate that CP32 disrupts cell wall biosynthesis, a key process in pathogen infection, resulting in a marked reduction of disease symptoms in plants.

Engineered Yarrowia lipolytica inducing gene silencing confers control ability against gray mold in plants

Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, EarlyView.
Engineered the plant‐colonizing yeast Yarrowia lipolytica to produce and deliver double‐stranded RNAs targeting key genes of the gray mold fungus Botrytis cinerea produced a ‘living factory’ that continuously synthesizes and releases gene‐silencing molecules on plant surfaces, effectively suppressing the pathogen.

The Dual Face of Fusobacterium nucleatum in Cancer: Foe, Friend or Both?

Journal of Periodontal Research, EarlyView.
Fusobacterium nucleatum has established interactions with cancers in humans. However, contrary to a traditional view that these interactions are uniformly pro‐tumoural, recent evidence suggests a more nuanced role, where contact‐dependent and contact‐independent mechanisms may support either tumour progression or restriction depending on tumour site ...

Characterization of Sec14 Domain–Containing Proteins in the Malaria Parasite Plasmodium falciparum

Molecular Microbiology, EarlyView.
During asexual blood‐stage development, P. falciparum Sec14 proteins display distinct localizations suggesting specialized roles in lipid exchange. PfSec14‐1 initially localizes to the nucleus before moving to the ER and Golgi alongside PfSec14‐4 during schizogony.

α‐1,3‐Glucan Is Required for Cell Wall Integrity and Full Virulence of Colletotrichum graminicola, but Not for Evasion of PAMP‐Triggered Immunity

Molecular Microbiology, EarlyView.
Abbreviated Summary The role of the major fungal cell wall polymer α‐1,3‐glucan in plant infection is poorly understood. Deletion mutants of the maize anthracnose fungus Colletotrichum graminicola lacking all three α‐1,3‐glucan synthase genes differentiated severely distorted biotrophic hyphae in planta, and virulence was strongly reduced.
