The mysterious route of sterols in oomycetes

PLOS Pathogens, 2021
Sterols are a class of lipids with essential roles in sustaining the domain structure of cell membranes and regulating biological processes [1]. Human health is affected by high cholesterol levels [2]; drugs preventing this are widely used. Also striking is the high demand for compounds classified as sterol biosynthesis inhibitors (SBIs), either as ...

The oomycete-specific BAG subfamily maintains protein homeostasis and promotes pathogenicity in an atypical HSP70-independent manner

Cell Reports, 2023
Summary: Protein homeostasis is vital for organisms and requires chaperones like the conserved Bcl-2-associated athanogene (BAG) co-chaperones that bind to the heat shock protein 70 (HSP70) through their C-terminal BAG domain (BD).

Phytophthora infestans effector AVR3a is essential for virulence and manipulates plant immunity by stabilizing host E3 ligase CMPG1 [PDF]

, 2010
Fungal and oomycete plant pathogens translocate effector proteins into host cells to establish infection. However, virulence targets and modes of action of their effectors are unknown.

Survival of Phytophthora cryptogea and Phytophthora cactorum in Commercial Potting Substrates for Eucalyptus globulus Plants

Agriculture, 2023
The international plant trade is considered to be the main pathway causing the spread of oomycetes internationally, especially when live plants are accompanied by soil or potting substrates.

An RxLR effector from phytophthora infestans prevents re-localisation of two plant NAC transcription factors from the endoplasmic reticulum to the nucleus [PDF]

, 2013
The plant immune system is activated following the perception of exposed, essential and invariant microbial molecules that are recognised as non-self. A major component of plant immunity is the transcriptional induction of genes involved in a wide array ...

Specific Phylotypes of Saprolegnia parasitica Associated with Atlantic Salmon Freshwater Aquaculture

Journal of Fungi
Saprolegniosis is a major destructive disease in freshwater aquaculture. The destructive economic impact of saprolegniosis on freshwater aquaculture necessitates further study on the range of Saprolegnia species within Atlantic salmon fish farms.

Sterol biosynthesis in oomycete pathogens [PDF]

Plant Signaling & Behavior, 2010
Oomycetes are a diverse group of filamentous eukaryotic microbes comprising devastating animal and plant pathogens. They share many characteristics with fungi, including polarized hyphal extension and production of spores, but phylogenetics studies have clearly placed oomycetes outside the fungal kingdom, in the kingdom Stramenopila which also includes

Crop-destroying fungal and oomycete pathogens challenge food security

, 2015
Of the various crop pests and pathogens which blight our harvests, it is the fungi and oomycetes which are the most widely-dispersed groups and which lead the global invasion of agriculture.

THE CRAYFISH PLAGUE IN THE CZECH REPUBLIC - REVIEW OF RECENT SUSPECT CASES AND A PILOT DETECTION STUDY

Knowledge and Management of Aquatic Ecosystems, 2006
There are only very limited reports about the occurrence of the crayfish plague in Czechia. In recent years, mass mortalities of Astacus spp. with symptoms of possible crayfish plague were noticed in three streams in the country – two in Central Bohemia (
