Immunology, 2003 SummaryNatural killer (NK) cells play an important role in the first line of defence against viral infections. We have shown earlier that exposure of human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) to viruses results in rapid up‐regulation of NK cell activity via interleukin‐15 (IL‐15) induction, and that this mechanism curtails viral infection in ...

Simulated atmospheric N deposition alters fungal community composition and suppresses ligninolytic gene expression in a northern hardwood forest. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2011 High levels of atmospheric nitrogen (N) deposition may result in greater terrestrial carbon (C) storage. In a northern hardwood ecosystem, exposure to over a decade of simulated N deposition increased C storage in soil by slowing litter decay rates ...

Plant Biotechnology Journal, 2023 Summary Stalk rot caused by Fusarium verticillioides (Fv) is one of the most destructive diseases in maize production. The defence response of root system to Fv invasion is important for plant growth and development. Dissection of root cell type‐specific

Overview of fungal terpene synthases and their regulation
World Journal of Microbiology & Biotechnology, 2023 Terpenes and terpenoids are a group of isoprene-derived molecules that constitute the largest group of natural products and secondary metabolites produced by living things, with more than 25,000 compounds reported.

Doxycycline-regulated gene expression in the opportunistic fungal pathogen Aspergillus fumigatus [PDF]
BMC Microbiology, 2005 Abstract Background Although Aspergillus fumigatus is an important human fungal pathogen there are few expression systems available to study the contribution of specific genes to the growth and virulence of this opportunistic mould.

mSystems, 2022 Interactions between microbes and their hosts have important outcomes for host and environmental health. Foliar fungal endophytes that infect healthy plants can harbor facultative endosymbionts called endohyphal bacteria, which can influence the outcome ...

The WOPR family protein Ryp1 is a key regulator of gene expression, development, and virulence in the thermally dimorphic fungal pathogen Coccidioides posadasii [PDF]
PLOS Pathogens, 2021 AbstractCoccidioides spp. are mammalian fungal pathogens endemic to the southwestern US and other desert regions of Mexico, central and South America, with the bulk of US infections occurring in California and Arizona. In the soil, Coccidioides grows in a hyphal form that differentiates into 3-5 micron asexual spores (arthroconidia). When arthroconidia

Light-regulated promoters for tunable, temporal, and affordable control of fungal gene expression [PDF]
Applied Microbiology and Biotechnology, 2018 Regulatable promoters are important genetic tools, particularly for assigning function to essential and redundant genes. They can also be used to control the expression of enzymes that influence metabolic flux or protein secretion, thereby optimizing product yield in bioindustry.

The limpet transcription factors of Triatoma infestans regulate the response to fungal infection and modulate the expression pattern of defensin genes [PDF]
Insect Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, 2019 As part of the innate humoral response to microbial attack, insects activate the expression of antimicrobial peptides (AMP). Understanding the regulatory mechanisms of this response in the Chagas disease vector Triatoma infestans is important since biological control strategies against pyrethroid-resistant insect populations were recently addressed by ...
