Rewiring of the jasmonic acid signaling pathway during insect herbivory on Arabidopsis [PDF]
, 2011 Plants are attacked by a plethora of potentially devastating pathogens and pests. To protect themselves, plants have evolved a sophisticated immune system in which phytohormones play pivotal regulatory roles.

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Obesity raises blood levels of PAI‐1, a protein linked to metabolic dysfunction‐associated steatotic liver disease in people with obesity. In female mice fed a high‐fat diet, partially lowering PAI‐1 led to smaller subcutaneous fat cells and lower liver cholesterol, without changing body weight or insulin sensitivity.

Signaling in Arabidopsis roots in response to beneficial rhizobacteria [PDF]
, 2012 Root colonization by selected strains of beneficial soil-resident bacteria is known to improve plant growth, influence root system architecture and trigger a systemic immune response that is effective against a broad range of pathogens, known as induced ...

Emerging experimental and computational methods for studying redox‐regulated structural transitions
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Redox reactions can reshape proteins and alter how they behave in cells, with important consequences for health and disease. This review explores emerging experimental and computational approaches for discovering these redox‐sensitive protein switches, revealing their structural effects, and predicting their behavior, opening new opportunities to ...

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Encapsulins are protein nanocompartments that play an important role in iron storage. In the Myxococcus xanthus encapsulin system, two cargo proteins called EncB and EncC contribute to iron mineralization. Here, we show that EncB and EncC generate iron‐containing minerals with distinct chemical compositions, suggesting that the composition of stored ...

Experimental evolution of mutualistic plant-microbe interactions in the rhizosphere [PDF]
, 2019 We are living on a hungry planet and securing food supply for the steadily increasing human population is a major challenge for mankind. The productivity of agricultural and horticultural crops is constrained by lack of nutrients, abiotic stressors as ...

‘Guide and Prejudice’— How Argonautes recognize targets across domains of life
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Argonaute proteins use short nucleic‐acid guides to locate and regulate specific targets across all domains of life. Despite striking diversity—from human gene silencing to bacterial immune defence—all Argonautes share a conserved three‐stage recognition logic: guide‐directed sampling, progressive target pairing with a conformational checkpoint and ...
