Fluoroacetate in plants - a review of its distribution, toxicity to livestock and microbial detoxification

Journal of Animal Science and Biotechnology, 2017
Fluoroacetate producing plants grow worldwide and it is believed they produce this toxic compound as a defence mechanism against grazing by herbivores. Ingestion by livestock often results in fatal poisonings, which causes significant economic problems ...

Heterogeneous Systemic IgG Responses to Porphyromonas gingivalis Gingipains in Advanced Periodontitis

Clinical and Experimental Dental Research, Volume 12, Issue 3, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Objectives To evaluate serum IgG responses against Porphyromonas gingivalis gingipains RgpB and Kgp in patients with stage III and IV periodontitis and examine associations with clinical periodontal parameters. Materials and Methods This exploratory cross‐sectional study included participants with advanced periodontitis (Stage III and IV ...

PFAS properties and destruction methods: A focus on enzymatic degradation

Journal of Chemical Technology &Biotechnology, Volume 101, Issue 6, Page 1126-1152, June 2026.
Abstract Per‐ and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are known as ‘forever’ chemicals and have lasting detrimental impact on the environment and living organisms. To understand PFAS molecules better, this review begins with an overview of PFAS definition, classifications and applications, and then provides a comprehensive summary and critical analysis ...

Ustilago hordei Delivers Heterologous Fungal Effectors for Screening and Characterisation in Wheat

Plant Pathology, Volume 75, Issue 2, March/April 2026.
Ustilago hordei, a barley pathogen, has been engineered to deliver effectors of fungal pathogens in wheat. Necrosis‐inducing activities of Parastagonospora nodorum effectors SnTOX1 and SnTOX3 can effectively be screened for. Challenges occur when stem rust fungus avirulence effectors are tested in this secretion system.

The Farnesyltransferase β-Subunit Ram1 Regulates Sporisorium scitamineum Mating, Pathogenicity and Cell Wall Integrity

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2019
The basidiomycetous fungus Sporisorium scitamineum causes a serious sugarcane smut disease in major sugarcane growing areas. Sexual mating is essential for infection to the host; however, its underlying molecular mechanism has not been fully studied.

Fimbriae‐Targeted Peptide‐Selenoviologen Cyclophane Complex for Enhanced Photodynamic Therapy of Periodontitis

Aggregate, Volume 6, Issue 12, December 2025.
This study develops a supramolecular photosensitizer (SeVB⊃PQ) by combining SeVB with a P. gingivalis‐targeting peptide. SeVB⊃PQ selectively binds P. gingivalis, boosts ROS generation under irradiation, disrupts ATP synthesis, restores microbial balance, reduces inflammation, and promotes alveolar bone regeneration, offering a promising platform for ...

Saccharomyces cerevisiae Mub1, a substrate adaptor of E3 ubiquitin ligase Ubr2, modulates sensitivity to cell wall stressors through multiple transcription factors

The FEBS Journal, Volume 292, Issue 19, Page 5046-5066, October 2025.
We show that Mub1 links cell wall robustness with the ubiquitin‐proteasome system. As an adaptor protein of the E3 ubiquitin ligase Ubr2, it facilitates the ubiquitination of various transcription factors, including Mcm1 and Swi4. Yeasts evolved a complex regulatory programme to build and maintain their cell wall, the primary structure through which ...

PorA of the Type IX Secretion Is a Ligand of the PorXY Two‐Component Regulatory System in Porphyromonas gingivalis

Molecular Microbiology, Volume 123, Issue 6, Page 569-585, June 2025.
Porphyromonas gingivalis exports several virulent proteins, including gingipain proteinases, via the type 9 secretion system. Expression of several T9SS component proteins is regulated by the PorA‐PorY‐PoX‐SigP signaling cascade. This study presents a novel role of PorA in the signaling cascade.

Mfa1⁺Pg up-regulate the expression of DC-SIGN in human MoDCs.

, 2015
A) DC-SIGN mRNA expression in P. gingivalis-infected MoDCs at 0.1, 1 and 10 MOIs. The figure shows the gene expression after 12 hours of Pg381 and mutant strains infections. The target gene (DC-SIGN) was normalized using the endogenous control GAPDH (ΔCt)
