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.

Molecular Assembly of Superquenchers in Signaling Molecular Interactions [PDF]

Journal of the American Chemical Society, 2005
We have designed a novel molecular assembly of quencher molecules to form superquenchers with excellent quenching efficiency. The superquencher can be engineered as desired by assembling different types and different numbers of quencher molecules.

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 ...

Intermolecular-Interaction-Driven Adaptive Remodeling: A Network Perspective on Plant Abiotic Stress Responses

Plants
Abiotic stresses, including drought, salinity, alkalinity, temperature extremes, flooding, heavy metals, and emerging pollutants, challenge plant growth and productivity by disturbing water relations, ion balance, redox homeostasis, membrane stability ...

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.

Synergistic Effect of Deoxyanthocyanins from Symbiotic Fern Azolla spp. on hrmA Gene Induction in the Cyanobacterium Nostoc Punctiforme

, 2002
Published by American Phytopathological SocietyThe hrmA gene of the N2-fixing cyanobacterium Nostoc punctiforme functions in repressing the formation of transitory motile filaments, termed hormogonia, by plant-associated vegetative filaments.

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 ...
