FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Dimeric pyruvate formate‐lyase cleaves pyruvate using a radical‐based mechanism. G734 serves as a radical storage location, and the radical is transferred to the catalytic C419 residue. Mutation of the C418‐C419 pair causes loss of enzyme activity, but does not impede radical introduction onto G734. Therefore, cis‐ but not trans‐radical transfer occurs

Complete mitochondrial genome of the Verticillium-wilt causing plant pathogen Verticillium nonalfalfae [PDF]
, 2016 Verticillium nonalfalfae is a fungal plant pathogen that causes wilt disease by colonizing the vascular tissues of host plants. The disease induced by hop isolates of V. nonalfalfae manifests in two different forms, ranging from mild symptoms to complete

Phytophthora Genomics: The Plant Destroyers' Genome Decoded [PDF]
Molecular Plant-Microbe Interactions®, 2006 The year 2004 was an exciting one for the Phytophthora research community. The United States Department of Energy Joint Genome Institute (JGI) completed the draft genome sequence of two Phytophthora species, Phytophthora sojae and Phytophthora ramorum. In August of that year over 50 people gathered at JGI in Walnut Creek, California, for an annotation

Evolutionary interplay between viruses and R‐loops
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Viruses interact with specialized nucleic acid structures called R‐loops to influence host transcription, epigenetic states, latency, and immune evasion. This Perspective examines the roles of R‐loops in viral replication, integration, and silencing, and how viruses co‐opt or avoid these structures.

Marker-free carotenoid-enriched rice generated through targeted gene insertion using CRISPR-Cas9
Nature Communications, 2020 Existing examples of targeted gene insertion in plants either rely on a selectable marker gene or result in short DNA inserts. Here, the authors use an optimized CRISPR-Cas9 method to insert a 5.2 kb carotenoid biosynthesis cassette into genomic safe ...

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.Urine is a rich source of biomarkers for cancer detection. Tumor‐derived material is released into the bloodstream and transported to the urine. Urine can easily be collected from individuals, allowing non‐invasive cancer detection. This review discusses the rationale behind urine‐based cancer detection and its potential for cancer diagnostics ...

Genome characteristics of facultatively symbiotic Frankia sp. strains reflect host range and host plant biogeography [PDF]
, 2007 Soil bacteria that also form mutualistic symbioses in plants encounter two major levels of selection. One occurs during adaptation to and survival in soil, and the other occurs in concert with host plant speciation and adaptation. Actinobacteria from the
