Uneven distribution of prokaryote-derived horizontal gene transfer in fungi: a lifestyle-dependent phenomenon

mBio
Horizontal gene transfer (HGT) in fungi is less understood despite its significance in prokaryotes. In this study, we systematically searched for HGT events in 829 representative fungal genomes.

RNA-Seq of Tomato Fruit-Alternaria Chitin Oligomer Interaction Reveals Genes Encoding Chitin Membrane Receptors and the Activation of the Defense Response

Horticulturae, 2023
The tomato is an economically important crop worldwide, although fungal infections by Alternaria alternata are the main cause of large postharvest fruit losses.

The fate of gene duplicates in the genomes of fungal pathogens [PDF]

Communicative & Integrative Biology, 2008
Understanding how molecular changes underlie phenotypic variation within and between species is one of the main goals of evolutionary biology and comparative genetics. The recent proliferation of sequenced fungal genomes offers a unique opportunity to start elucidating the extreme phenotypic diversity in the Kingdom Fungi.1-4 We attempted to ...

DIVERSIFY: A Fungal Multispecies Gene Expression Platform

ACS Synthetic Biology, 2021
Recent sequencing of numerous fungal species revealed large repertoires of putative biotechnologically relevant genes and secondary metabolite gene clusters. However, often the commercial potential of these species is impeded by difficulties to predict host physiological and metabolic compatibility with a given product, and lack of adequate genetic ...

Population genomics of Vitis pseudoreticulata reveals the genetic basis of fungal resistance in grapevine

Horticultural Plant Journal
Grapevine cultivation is facing significant challenges from fungal diseases. Wild Vitis species exhibit extraordinary fungal resistance, offering valuable genetic resources for grapevine improvement, yet their genetic basis of fungal resistance remains ...

Comparative pathogenomics reveals horizontally acquired novel virulence genes in fungi infecting cereal hosts.

PLoS Pathogens, 2012
Comparative analyses of pathogen genomes provide new insights into how pathogens have evolved common and divergent virulence strategies to invade related plant species.

Hyperactive ice‐binding proteins stabilize cell membranes and improve resistance to dehydration stress in Caenorhabditis elegans

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
TisIBP8, a fungal‐derived hyperactive ice‐binding protein, helps Caenorhabditis elegans survive dehydration. It localizes near cell membranes, reduces cell damage, and helps maintain membrane structure during drying. These results suggest that ice‐binding proteins can protect cells from dehydration stress as well as freezing stress.

Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungal community abundance, functions, and symbiotic interactions revealed by root metatranscriptomes

iMetaOmics
Arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungal communities are often profiled by metabarcoding, but this approach can bias abundance estimates and provide limited insight into community function and interactions with the host.

Molecular Signaling and Metabolic Responses during the Interaction between Human Keratinocytes (HaCaT) and the Dermatophyte Trichophyton rubrum

Journal of Fungi
Trichophyton rubrum is the leading causative agent of dermatophytosis worldwide. Keratinocytes are the first line of defense that drives an immune response against fungal invasion.

Comparative Effectiveness and Safety of Inebilizumab Versus Rituximab in AQP4‐IgG‐Positive NMOSD

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Rituximab (anti‐CD20, RTX) and inebilizumab (anti‐CD19, INE) represent B‐cell‐depleting therapies used for aquaporin‐4 antibody‐positive (AQP4‐IgG+) neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder (NMOSD); however, direct comparative evidence remains limited.
