A Major Facilitator Superfamily Peptide Transporter From Fusarium oxysporum Influences Bioethanol Production From Lignocellulosic Material

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2019
Fusarium oxysporum is a leading microbial agent in the emerging consolidated bioprocessing (CBP) industry owing to its capability to infiltrate the plant’s lignin barrier and degrade complex carbohydrates to value-added chemicals such as bioethanol in a ...

Geminivirus–Host Interactions: Action and Reaction in Receptor-Mediated Antiviral Immunity

Viruses, 2021
In plant−virus interactions, the plant immune system and virulence strategies are under constant pressure for dominance, and the balance of these opposing selection pressures can result in disease or resistance.

Structural basis for assembly of vertical single β-barrel viruses

Nature Communications, 2019
Here, the authors present the cryo-EM structures of two archaeal, halophilic, internal membrane-containing icosahedral viruses at 3.7 and 3.8 Å resolution, providing insights into the assembly process of these and related PRD1-adeno lineage viruses.

CRIME - cosmic ray interactions in molecular environments

, 2015
Molecular clouds act as targets for cosmic rays (CR), revealing their presence through either gamma-ray emission due to proton-proton interactions, and/or through the ionization level in the cloud, produced by the CR flux. The ionization rate is a unique

Universal Correction of Density Functional Theory to Include London Dispersion (up to Lr, Element 103) [PDF]

, 2012
Conventional density functional theory (DFT) fails to describe accurately the London dispersion essential for describing molecular interactions in soft matter (biological systems, polymers, nucleic acids) and molecular crystals.

Analysis of the PcrA-RNA polymerase complex reveals a helicase interaction motif and a role for PcrA/UvrD helicase in the suppression of R-loops

eLife, 2021
The PcrA/UvrD helicase binds directly to RNA polymerase (RNAP) but the structural basis for this interaction and its functional significance have remained unclear.

Role in virulence of phospholipases, listeriolysin O and listeriolysin S from epidemic Listeria monocytogenes using the chicken embryo infection model

Veterinary Research, 2018
Most human listeriosis outbreaks are caused by Listeria monocytogenes evolutionary lineage I strains which possess four exotoxins: a phosphatidylinositol-specific phospholipase C (PlcA), a broad-range phospholipase C (PlcB), listeriolysin O (LLO) and ...

SepN is a septal junction component required for gated cell–cell communication in the filamentous cyanobacterium Nostoc

Nature Communications, 2022
The filamentous cyanobacterium Nostoc regulates communication between sister cells via a conformational change in septal junctions. Here, the authors identify and characterize protein SepN as a component of septal junctions, and highlight the importance ...

Limited impact of hepatitis A virus 3C protease-mediated cleavage on the functions of NEMO in human hepatocytes

Journal of Virology
NF-κB essential modulator (NEMO) is critically involved in the induction of interferons (IFNs) and pro-inflammatory cytokines. Hepatitis A virus (HAV) 3C protease was recently identified to cleave NEMO in non-hepatic cells.
