Phosphatidylinositol 4‐kinase as a target of pathogens—friend or foe?

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
This graphical summary illustrates the roles of phosphatidylinositol 4‐kinases (PI4Ks). PI4Ks regulate key cellular processes and can be hijacked by pathogens, such as viruses, bacteria and parasites, to support their intracellular replication. Their dual role as essential host enzymes and pathogen cofactors makes them promising drug targets.

Response of the Endophytic Microbial Composition in Amaranthus Roots to Different Fertilization Treatments

Agronomy
To explore how endophytic microbial compositions in amaranth roots are influenced by various fertilization methods and to determine whether these microbes are associated with amaranthin formation, we conducted an analysis of the endophytic microbial ...

Protein pyrophosphorylation by inositol pyrophosphates — detection, function, and regulation

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Protein pyrophosphorylation is an unusual signaling mechanism that was discovered two decades ago. It can be driven by inositol pyrophosphate messengers and influences various cellular processes. Herein, we summarize the research progress and challenges of this field, covering pathways found to be regulated by this posttranslational modification as ...

Scientific Opinion addressing the state of the science on risk assessment of plant protection products for non‐target arthropods [PDF]

EFSA Journal, 2015
Following a request from the European Food Safety Authority, the Panel on Plant Protection Products and their Residues developed an opinion on the science to support the development of a risk assessment scheme of plant protection products for non-target arthropods.

Artificially induced and precise small-scaled infection with Plasmopara viticola on living vines

OENO One
Grapevine downy mildew, caused by the oomycete Plasmopara viticola, affects most of the world’s finest and widely planted grapevine (Vitis vinifera L.) cultivars and is typically controlled by fungicides, which are often applied in excess.

PLANT PHYSIOLOGY

, 2021
The role of the RNA degradation product 2’,3’-cyclic adenosine monophosphate (2’,3’-cAMP) is poorly understood. Recent studies have identified 2’,3’-cAMP in plant material and determined its role in stress signaling.

Structural instability impairs function of the UDP‐xylose synthase 1 Ile181Asn variant associated with short‐stature genetic syndrome in humans

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
The Ile181Asn variant of human UDP‐xylose synthase (hUXS1), associated with a short‐stature genetic syndrome, has previously been reported as inactive. Our findings demonstrate that Ile181Asn‐hUXS1 retains catalytic activity similar to the wild‐type but exhibits reduced stability, a looser oligomeric state, and an increased tendency to precipitate ...
