Light regulates the degradation of the regulatory protein VE-1 in the fungus Neurospora crassa

BMC Biology, 2022
Background Fungi use light as an environmental signal to regulate developmental transitions that are key aspects of their biological cycles and that are also relevant for their dispersal and infectivity as plant or animal pathogens.

A comparative study of microRNAs in different stages of Eimeria tenella

Frontiers in Veterinary Science, 2022
Apicomplexan parasites have divergent biogenesis machinery for small RNA generation. Analysis has shown that parasites in Plasmodium and Cryptosporidium as well as many species in Leishmania or Trypanosoma do not have a complete machinery in small RNA ...

Percolation on the gene regulatory network [PDF]

arXiv, 2020
We consider a simplified model for gene regulation, where gene expression is regulated by transcription factors (TFs), which are single proteins or protein complexes. Proteins are in turn synthesised from expressed genes, creating a feedback loop of regulation. This leads to a directed bipartite network in which a link from a gene to a TF exists if the

Stochastic equations for a self-regulating gene [PDF]

Int. J. Biomath. (2016), 2014
Expression of cellular genes is regulated by binding of transcription factors to their promoter, either activating or inhibiting transcription of a gene. Particularly interesting is the case when the expressed protein regulates its own transcription. In this paper the features of this self-regulating process are investigated.

Confinement by Liquid‐Liquid Interface Replicates In Vivo Neutrophil Deformations and Elicits Bleb‐Based Migration

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Leukocytes sense mechanical cues provided by surrounding cells to regulate motility. Replicating the confining pressures applied by soft, elastic tissues in vitro is challenging. Here, the use of liquid‐liquid interfaces is introduced to model forces exerted by surrounding cells. Confining pressures are tunable by controlling interfacial curvature, and

The regulatory and transcriptional landscape associated with carbon utilization in a filamentous fungus. [PDF]

, 2020
Filamentous fungi, such as Neurospora crassa, are very efficient in deconstructing plant biomass by the secretion of an arsenal of plant cell wall-degrading enzymes, by remodeling metabolism to accommodate production of secreted enzymes, and by enabling ...

MicroRNA Regulation of Host Immune Responses following Fungal Exposure

Frontiers in Immunology, 2018
Fungal bioaerosols are ubiquitous in the environment and human exposure can result in a variety of health effects ranging from systemic, subcutaneous, and cutaneous infections to respiratory morbidity including allergy, asthma, and hypersensitivity ...

The Ustilago maydis Cys₂His₂‐type zinc finger transcription factor Mzr1 regulates fungal gene expression during the biotrophic growth stage [PDF]

Molecular Microbiology, 2008
SummaryThe smut fungus Ustilago maydis establishes a biotrophic relationship with its host plant maize to progress through sexual development. Here, we report the identification and characterization of the Cys2His2‐type zinc finger protein Mzr1 that functions as a transcriptional activator during host colonization. Expression of the U.

Tailoring a Functional Synthetic Microbial Community Alleviates Fusobacterium nucleatum‐infected Colorectal Cancer via Ecological Control

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
The bottom‐up strategy based on multiomics data is used for the SynCom design, and it successfully inhibited F. nucleatum growth and achieved stable colonization in vivo. In addition, it promoted tryptophan metabolism and secondary bile acid conversion, reduced lipid accumulation, relieved microbiome disorder, decreased inflammatory reaction, and ...
