FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Proteostasis and the gut microbiota play a key role in shaping host physiology. Microbiota‐derived metabolites, vitamins, and RNA modulate host proteostasis. Findings from model systems, including C. elegans, indicate microbes can either stabilize or disrupt host proteostasis.

Viruses, 2019 Genetic variation in baculoviruses is recognized as a key factor, not only due to the influence of such variation on pathogen transmission and virulence traits, but also because genetic variants can form the basis for novel biological insecticides.

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Although too much iron in the brain promotes neurodegeneration, iron ion chelators have had mixed effects in clinical trials. This review explains why; some chelators do not render the iron redox‐inactive (e.g., L1) whereas others do (e.g., desferrioxamine).

Plaque assay for virulent Legionella pneumophila [PDF]
Journal of Clinical Microbiology, 1989 Methods of assessing virulence of Legionella pneumophila, the etiologic agent of Legionnaires disease, include the infection of guinea pigs, fertile chicken eggs, and mammalian and protozoan cell cultures. Guinea pig assays, in particular, are expensive, laborious, or unsuitable for routine screening of Legionella isolates.

Peripheral lysosomes recruit PLEKHG3 to focal adhesions and restrain protrusion dynamics
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Proximity‐dependent labeling at the LAMTOR complex revealed the Rho GEF PLEKHG3 as a lysosome‐proximal protein directing the study toward the influence of lysosome positioning on actin dynamics and cell motility. We show that PLEKHG3 colocalizes with lysosomes at focal adhesion sites and observe that forced peripheral dispersion of lysosomes hinders ...

Development of a Plaque Reduction Assay as an Antiphage Activity Evaluation Method
Research in Molecular Medicine, 2015 Background: Antiviral screening of newly isolated or synthesized compounds is an important matter which requires a reliable antiviral test. In order to address this issue, the development of a rapid antiphage test has been conducted. To achieve this goal,

Plaque Assay for Pneumonia Virus of Mice [PDF]
Applied Microbiology, 1970 A plaque assay for the quantitation of pneumonia virus of mice is described. To obtain reproducible plaque formation, proteolytic enzymes had to be incorporated in the overlay medium. The plaque morphology observed in the presence of pancreatin and chymotrypsin was superior to that seen with trypsin.

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.Repair of neuronal DNA damage in Alzheimer's disease by KCL‐286. (A) Amyloid‐β oligomers and plaques impair neuronal DNA repair pathways, leading to DNA double‐strand breaks and glial activation. (B) KCL‐286 activates RARβ/RXR signalling via retinoic acid response elements (RAREs), associated with increased BRCA1 expression, enhanced DNA repair and ...

, 2020 Bacteriophages (phage) are viruses that infect bacteria and can be found anywhere that bacteria is found. Performing plaque assays is a technique to purify a population of viruses and can also be used to determine the viral concentration of a given sample. This protocol will outline the steps to carry out plaque assays.

Chronobiology of Cancer: How Aging Fuels Oncogenesis at the Molecular Level
Aging and Cancer, EarlyView.This graphical abstract illustrates the key biological pathways linking aging with cancer development and progression. In the upper left, cumulative exposure to ultraviolet radiation, toxins, and reactive oxygen species (ROS) causes DNA damage and genomic instability, whereas age‐related decline in repair mechanisms, such as ATM/ATR, BER, and NER ...
