The role of BRI1-associated kinase 1 (BAK1) in the regulation of plant innate immunity : functional and genetic characterization of BAK1 overexpression in Arabidopsis thaliana [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
The role of BRI1-ASSOCIATED KINASE 1 (BAK1) in the regulation of plant innate immunity: functional and genetic characterization of BAK1 overexpression in Arabidopsis thaliana SUMMARY BAK1 (BRI1-ASSOCIATED KINASE 1) is an intensively studied member ...

Pattern Recognition Receptors and the Host Cell Death Molecular Machinery

open access: yesFrontiers in Immunology, 2018
Pattern Recognition Receptors (PRRs) are proteins capable of recognizing molecules frequently found in pathogens (the so-called Pathogen-Associated Molecular Patterns—PAMPs), or molecules released by damaged cells (the Damage-Associated Molecular ...

Tongue sole creatine kinases function as DAMP and activate antimicrobial immunity via TLR2

open access: yesFrontiers in Immunology, 2023
Creatine kinase (CK) is an enzyme that regulates adenosine triphosphate (ATP) metabolism to maintain energy homeostasis. Although CK has been reported to be involved in pathogen infection, the immune function of CK remains elusive.

The bacterial quorum sensing signal DSF hijacks Arabidopsis thaliana sterol biosynthesis to suppress plant innate immunity

open access: yesLife Science Alliance, 2020
This study highlights that DSF, the quorum sensing signal produced by bacterial phytopathogens, is able to directly modulate plant plasma membrane dynamics by interfering with host lipid profile and thereby, suppress plant immunity responses.

Platelet Inflammatory Response to Stress

open access: yesFrontiers in Immunology, 2019
Blood platelets play a central hemostatic role, (i) as they repair vascular epithelial damage, and (ii) they play immune defense roles, as they have the capacity to produce and secrete various cytokines, chemokines, and related products.

The rOX‐stars of inflammation: links between the inflammasome and mitochondrial meltdown

open access: yesClinical & Translational Immunology, 2020
The nod‐like receptor protein 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome drives inflammation in response to mitochondrial dysfunction. As metabolic powerhouses with prokaryotic ancestry, mitochondria are a cache for danger‐associated molecular patterns and pathogen ...

The Battle between Virus and Host: Modulation of Toll-Like Receptor Signaling Pathways by Virus Infection

open access: yesMediators of Inflammation, 2010
In order to establish an infection, viruses need to either suppress or escape from host immune defense systems. Recent immunological research has focused on innate immunity as the first line of host defense, especially pattern recognition molecules such ...

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

open access: yes, 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 ...

Convergent Evolution of Pathogen Effectors toward Reactive Oxygen Species Signaling Networks in Plants

open access: yesFrontiers in Plant Science, 2017
Microbial pathogens have evolved protein effectors to promote virulence and cause disease in host plants. Pathogen effectors delivered into plant cells suppress plant immune responses and modulate host metabolism to support the infection processes of ...
