Testing for Treeness: Lateral Gene Transfer, Phylogenetic Inference, and Model Selection [PDF]

, 2010
A phylogeny that allows for lateral gene transfer (LGT) can be thought of as a strictly branching tree (all of whose branches are vertical) to which lateral branches have been added. Given that the goal of phylogenetics is to depict evolutionary history,

An Effector TaCRVP From Tuta Absoluta Oral Secretion Impairs H2O2‐Mediated Plant Defense by Targeting Tomato SlCAT2

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
The Tuta absoluta salivary effector TaCRVP subverts tomato immunity by hijacking host catalase SlCAT2. Through a sophisticated dual mechanism, TaCRVP simultaneously promotes SlCAT2 tetramerization for activation and blocks its SlAdBiL‐mediated degradation for stabilization.

Repurposing FDA‐Approved Drugs to Inhibit Fungal PPTases for Broad‐Spectrum Synergy

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Fungal secondary metabolites serve as crucial virulence effectors; however, the potential of their biosynthetic pathways as antifungal targets remains inadequately comprehended. Repurposed FDA‐approved drugs inhibit fungal PPTase (essential for secondary metabolism) in vivo.

Revisiting Oligo-Miocene epoch through the altitudinal patterns study of plant species and phylogenetic diversity of Mt. Elgon in Africa

Scientific African
The variation in patterns of plant species distribution has been of interest to naturalists and ecologists. However, African mountains remain nature's laboratories least explored. This study aims to identify the altitudinal pattern of plant taxonomic and

Symbiont‐Induced HSP83 Establishes Two‐Tiered Control of Antifungal Immunity in an Invasive Beetle–Fungus Complex

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
In an invasive beetle–fungus complex, the mutualist Leptographium procerum induces host HSP83 and modulates Toll‐dependent antifungal immunity. HSP83 mediates two‐tiered control by associating with selected fungal recognition receptors and restraining Dorsal‐driven antimicrobial peptide transcription.

Robots and Minimal, Physics‐Informed Features: A Hybrid Framework for Enzyme Catalysis

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Robotic experimentation and physics‐informed machine learning combine to predict enzyme substrate scope. With a handful of interpretable features derived from docking and quantum mechanics calculations, our model rivals descriptor‐heavy AI approaches and extrapolates to unseen substrates and enzyme classes.

Phylogenetic structure of mammal assemblages at large geographical scales: linking phylogenetic community ecology with macroecology

, 2011
Phylogenetic community ecology seeks to explain the processes involved in the formation of species assemblages by analysing their phylogenetic structure, and to date has focused primarily on local-scale communities.

Functional–Taxonomic Scaling Resolves Conflicting Average Genome Size Estimates Across Environmental Gradients

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Based on genome size‐functional breadth theory, we introduce and validate a framework that adjudicates conflicting average genome size (AGS) estimates by testing which estimate yields a gap between scaled functional diversity and scaled taxonomic diversity that is consistent with the expected positive association between genome size and gene functional

Distinct Cleavage Trajectories Mediated by DNA and RNA Substrate in Argonaute From Methanocaldococcus Fervens

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study characterizes MfAgo, an enzyme exhibiting highly efficient DNA‐guided DNA and RNA cleavage capability. Precise RNA cleavage strictly requires dimerization to stabilize the PIWI‐loop region, while its robust DNA cleavage functions in a dimerization‐independent manner.
