Tools of the crook‐ infection strategies of fungal plant pathogens

The Plant Journal, 2018
Fungi represent an ecologically diverse group of microorganisms that includes plant pathogenic species able to cause considerable yield loses in crop production systems worldwide. In order to establish compatible interactions with their hosts, pathogenic

DNA ligase LigE increases bacterial transformation with damaged extracellular DNA

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
The DNA ligase LigE from the naturally competent Gram‐negative bacterium Neisseria gonorrhoaea increases transformation with cut extracellular DNA. This process is ATP‐dependent and relies on the catalytic activity of LigE; it also requires that LigE contains an intact periplasmic localisation sequence, indicating that ligE functions in the periplasm ...

Highly specific and super-sensitive Dot-ELISA and colloidal gold immunochromatographic strips for the detection of Burkholderia glumae and Burkholderia plantarii of Rice bacterial panicle blight

Crop Health
Burkholderia glumae (B. glumae) and Burkholderia plantarii (B. plantarii) are primary causal agents of rice bacterial panicle blight (RBPB) and cause substantial yield losses in rice worldwide.

Tumour–host interactions in Drosophila: mechanisms in the tumour micro‐ and macroenvironment

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
This review examines how tumour–host crosstalk takes place at multiple levels of biological organisation, from local cell competition and immune crosstalk to organism‐wide metabolic and physiological collapse. Here, we integrate findings from Drosophila melanogaster studies that reveal conserved mechanisms through which tumours hijack host systems to ...

The role of regulatory mechanisms for control of plant diseases and food security — case studies from potato production in Britain [PDF]

, 2010
Being aware of the potentially devastating impacts of plant diseases on food security, governments have designed and employ plant health legislation to prevent or inhibit the worst impacts.

Insect Transmission of Plant Pathogens: a Systems Biology Perspective

mSystems, 2018
Insect-vectored pathogens pose one of the greatest threats to plant and animal, including human, health on a global scale. Few effective control strategies have been developed to thwart the transmission of any insect-transmitted pathogen. ABSTRACT Insect-

Finding novel vulnerabilities of hypomorphic BRCA1 alleles

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Synthetic lethality screens performed to identify novel vulnerabilities often model complete gene loss, thereby overlooking patient‐derived hypomorphic mutations. In this study, we have performed genome‐wide CRISPR screens on BRCA1 hypomorphic mutations, showing BRCA1I26A behaves like wild‐type, while BRCA1R1699Q mimics deficiency. Furthermore, we have

Characterization of the cytochrome [beta] gene in plant pathogenic, basidiomycetes and consequences for QoI resistance [PDF]

, 2005
Strobilurins are one of the most important classes of agricultural fungicides, which are also known as Qo inhibitors (QoIs) because they inhibit mitochondrial respiration by binding to the Qo (‘Quinone outside’) site of the cytochrome b.

Burkholderia Phages and Control of Burkholderia-Associated Human, Animal, and Plant Diseases

Microorganisms
Gram-negative Burkholderia bacteria are known for causing diseases in humans, animals, and plants, and high intrinsic resistance to antibiotics. Phage therapy is a promising alternative to control multidrug-resistant bacterial pathogens. Here, we present

Loss of proton‐sensing TDAG8 increases tumor progression in mouse models of colon cancer

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Loss of the pH‐sensing receptor TDAG8 accelerates colorectal cancer progression in mice. Animals lacking TDAG8 expression had increased tumor growth, DNA damage, and recruitment of tumor‐associated immune cells, including macrophages, neutrophils, and monocytes.
