The secretome of the environmental bacterium Pseudomonas protegens PBL3 has broad-spectrum antimicrobial activity against plant and human pathogenic bacteria

Microbiology Spectrum
Antimicrobials are widely used to manage bacterial diseases in humans, pets, and livestock. Unfortunately, their extensive use has contributed to the emergence of antimicrobial resistance (AMR), a threat to global health.

A Covert Operation by a Plant Pathogen [PDF]

Cell Host & Microbe, 2016
Phytopathogens have mastered the ability to evade plant innate immunity. In this issue of Cell Host & Microbe, Zhou and colleagues (Li et al., 2016) uncover a strategy whereby a bacterial pathogen disables the plant immune system with such precision as to avoid triggering alarms that could potentially reveal its presence.

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

FEBS 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.

A comprehensive catalogue of receptor-binding domains in extracellular contractile injection systems

Nature Communications
Extracellular contractile injection systems (eCISs) are bacteriophage tail-derived toxin delivery complexes in prokaryotes. They play roles in microbial interactions with hosts, using tail fiber proteins for target cell binding.

Structure‐forward targeting of claudins with synthetic binders

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Claudins form the paracellular barriers between epithelial and endothelial tissues at tight junctions and are targets for molecular binders with the goal of modulating barrier permeability. Claudin‐binding molecules are relevant in drug delivery or in altering claudin interactions with disease‐causing proteins.

Secondary Metabolites in Xylella fastidiosa–Plant Interaction

, 2020
During their evolutionary history, plants have evolved the ability to synthesize and accumulate small molecules known as secondary metabolites. These compounds are not essential in the primary cell functions but play a significant role in the plants ...

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

FEBS 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 ...

Impacts of climate change on plant diseases – opinions and trends [PDF]

, 2012
There has been a remarkable scientific output on the topic of how climate change is likely to affect plant diseases in the coming decades. This review addresses the need for review of this burgeoning literature by summarizing opinions of previous reviews

Plant Defensin Peptides have Antifungal and Antibacterial Activity Against Human and Plant Pathogens.

Phytopathology, 2019
Plant defensins are small, cysteine-rich antimicrobial peptides. These peptides have previously been shown to primarily inhibit the growth of fungal plant pathogens.
