Differential Requirement for the Cell Wall Integrity Sensor Wsc1p in Diploids Versus Haploids
The primary role of the Cell Wall Integrity Pathway (CWI) in Saccharomyces cerevisiae is monitoring the state of the cell wall in response to general life cycle stresses (growth and mating) and imposed stresses (temperature changes and chemicals). Of the

Interference of the Zika Virus E-Protein With the Membrane Attack Complex of the Complement System
The complement system has developed different strategies to clear infections by several effector mechanisms, such as opsonization, which supports phagocytosis, attracting immune cells by C3 and C5 cleavage products, or direct killing of pathogens by the ...

Image-based dynamic phenotyping reveals genetic determinants of filamentation-mediated beta-lactam tolerance [PDF]
Antibiotic tolerance characterized by slow killing of bacteria in response to a drug can lead to treatment failure and promote the emergence of resistance.

Genes Controlling 2-deoxyglucose Induced Lysis and Formation of Reactive Oxygen Species in Schizosaccharomyces pombe [PDF]
Schizosaccharomyces pombe cells of strains each carrying a deletion of one of the genes snf5, ypa1, pho7 and pas1 and of a strain overexpressing gene odr1, have been previously shown to grow in presence of the toxic glucose analogue 2-deoxyglucose ...

Rapid Extraction of Viral Nucleic Acids Using Rotating Blade Lysis and Magnetic Beads
The complex and lengthy protocol of current viral nucleic acid extraction processes limits their use outside laboratory settings. Here, we describe a rapid and reliable method for extracting nucleic acids from viral samples using a rotating blade and ...

The Holin-Endolysin Lysis System of the OP2-Like Phage X2 Infecting Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae
Most endolysins of dsDNA phages are exported by a holin-dependent mechanism, while in some cases endolysins are exported via a holin-independent mechanism.
