The Irish potato famine pathogen Phytophthora infestans translocates the CRN8 kinase into host plant cells [PDF]

, 2012
Phytopathogenic oomycetes, such as Phytophthora infestans, secrete an arsenal of effector proteins that modulate plant innate immunity to enable infection. We describe CRN8, a host-translocated effector of P. infestans that has kinase activity in planta.

E2A selectively regulates TGF‐β–induced apoptosis in KRAS‐mutant non‐small cell lung cancer

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Ability to induce apoptosis by TGF‐β is frequently lost in advanced lung adenocarcinoma despite intact TGF‐β signaling. We identify E2A as a mutant KRAS–dependent mediator of resistance to TGF‐β–induced apoptosis. TGF‐β induces E2A via SMAD3 in mutant KRAS cells, and E2A silencing restores apoptosis and enhances radiation response in cell lines ...

Responses of a bacterial pathogen to phosphorus limitation of its aquatic invertebrate host [PDF]

, 2008
Host nutrition is thought to affect the establishment, persistence, and severity of pathogenic infections. Nutrient-deficient foods possibly benefit pathogens by constraining host immune function or benefit hosts by limiting parasite growth and ...

Cell‐cycle‐specific lesion evolution rather than inhibition of double‐strand‐break repair underpins cisplatin radiosensitization

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
We analyze cisplatin–DNA adducts (CDAs) and double‐strand breaks (DSBs) in a cell‐cycle‐dependent manner. We find that CDAs form similarly across all cell cycle phases. DSBs arise only in S‐phase. CDAs might not directly impair DSB repair, but S‐phase DSB lesions evolve in the presence of CDAs and disrupt repair in G2, also causing radiosensitization ...

Clinico-genomic study reveals association of dengue virus genome high frequency mutations with dengue disease severity

Scientific Reports
Transmission of the dengue virus (DENV) places a huge burden on public health in several endemic regions. Like other RNA viruses, mutations in the DENV genome greatly governs its virulence, transmissibility, and interaction with the host immune system ...

The entomopathogenic nematode Heterorhabditis megidis: host searching behaviour, infectivity and reproduction

, 2001
Entomopathogenic nematodes in the families Heterorhabditidae and Steinernematidae have considerable potential as biological control agents of soil-inhabiting insect pests.

Hijacking emergency granulopoiesis: Neutrophil ontogeny and reprogramming in cancer

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Neutrophils are highly plastic innate immune cells; their functions in cancer extend beyond the tumour microenvironment. This Review summarises current understanding of neutrophil maturation and heterogeneity and highlights tumour‐induced granulopoiesis as a systemic programme that expands immature, immunosuppressive neutrophils via tumour‐derived ...

Systems biology of virus-host signaling network interactions

, 2012
Viruses have evolved to manipulate the host cell machinery forvirus propagation, in part by interfering with the host cellularsignaling network.

On the epidemiology, biology and food-dependent reproduction of the feral pigeon (Columba livia) [PDF]

, 2015
Millions of feral pigeons (Columba livia, Gmelin 1789) live in close association with the human population in our cities. They have managed to adapt extremely well to city life.

Interpreting the effects of DNA polymerase variants at the structural level

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Using MAVISp and molecular dynamics simulations, we analyzed over 60 000 missense variants in POLE and POLD1 from ClinVar, COSMIC, cBioPortal, and saturation mutagenesis. Identified mechanistic indicators, including stability, binding, and long‐range, enable structural interpretation, providing ACMG‐like evidence for possible reclassification of VUS ...
