The Homologous Components of Flagellar Type III Protein Apparatus Have Acquired a Novel Function to Control Twitching Motility in a Non-Flagellated Biocontrol Bacterium

open access: yesBiomolecules, 2020
The bacterial flagellum is one of the best-studied surface-attached appendages in bacteria. Flagellar assembly in vivo is promoted by its own protein export apparatus, a type III secretion system (T3SS) in pathogenic bacteria. Lysobacter enzymogenes OH11

Decoding the dynamic extracellular matrix in cancer—3D models and bioscaffolds rewire the rules of tumor progression

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Cancer progression is regulated by the dynamic matrix code of the tumor microenvironment, which influences cellular behavior and disease development. Importantly, matrix remodeling in three‐dimensional cancer models more accurately reflects in vivo conditions compared to conventional two‐dimensional systems.

An endogenous danger detection system in "Arabidopsis thaliana": the AtPep peptides and their receptors [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Plants use a plethora of sophisticated detection systems to recognize a variety of attackers and to subsequently initiate defense responses. A well-known paradigm in this context is the perception of microbe-associated molecular patterns (MAMPs) by ...

Microbiome‐blood–brain barrier interactions in aging — mechanisms and therapeutic potential

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Aging reshapes the gut microbiome (↓SCFA‐producing commensals; ↑pro‐inflammatory outputs), shifting circulating metabolites (↓SCFAs; ↑LPS, ↑TMAO, ↑PAA) that act at the BBB to increase nonspecific transcytosis, alter transport, and promote astrocyte reactivity, heightening brain vulnerability.

Water immunity overrides stomatal immunity in plant resistance to Pseudomonas syringae

open access: yes
Stomata play crucial roles in the multilayered defense system against pathogens. Upon pathogen perception, stomata close promptly, establishing the first line of defense known as stomatal immunity.

Activation of plant immunity by microbial Nep1-like protein patterns [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Plants can detect pathogens on the inside and outside of their cells. Two types of plasma membrane receptors are employed by plants to detect pathogens extracellularly: receptor-like kinases (RLKs) and receptor-like proteins (RLPs).

Evasion and suppression of plant immunity [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Every year up to 20% of the crop production with an economical value of almost 200 billion euro is lost due to plant diseases. To be able to develop effective and durable strategies to counteract these plant diseases, understanding the mechanisms that ...

An epithelial GPR35 isoform supports tumor‐associated transcriptional and metabolic phenotypes

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
GPR35 generates two functionally distinct isoforms with previously unresolved roles. GPR35‐short mediates immune‐cell chemotaxis, while GPR35‐long is enriched in colorectal cancer epithelium, where it supports increased metabolism, proliferation, and tumor‐associated transcriptional programs.

Lysin Motif (LysM) Proteins: Interlinking Manipulation of Plant Immunity and Fungi

open access: yes, 2021
The proteins with lysin motif (LysM) are carbohydrate-binding protein modules that play a critical role in the host-pathogen interactions. The plant LysM proteins mostly function as pattern recognition receptors (PRRs) that sense chitin to induce the ...

Nutrient/TOR signaling controls adipose mitochondrial transcription factor A (TFAM) to regulate organismal growth in Drosophila

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Animals must match their growth rate to available nutrients. We show that in Drosophila larvae, the nutrient‐sensing TOR kinase controls growth by regulating levels of TFAM, a key regulator of mitochondrial function, in the adipose tissue. When nutrients are abundant, high TOR activity suppresses TFAM, lowering mitochondrial bioenergetic activity and ...
