SUMMARY Grapevine (Vitis vinifera L.) frequently faces challenges from various pathogens, among which Plasmopara viticola is the most devastating one hindering grape production. During infection, P. viticola secretes a series of effectors into host cells to manipulate plant immune responses. Here, an RXLR effector of P.

Identification, characterization and classification of prokaryotic nucleoid‐associated proteins
Nucleoid‐associated proteins (NAPs) structure DNA by either bending, wrapping, bridging, or forming protein filaments on the DNA. We review newly identified NAPs and provide a list of simple biochemical assays to study the DNA‐structuring properties of novel NAPs. Abstract Common throughout life is the need to compact and organize the genome.

Light history influences the response of the marine cyanobacterium Synechococcus sp. WH7803 to oxidative stress. [PDF]
International audienceMarine Synechococcus undergo a wide range of environmental stressors, especially high and variable irradiance, which may induce oxidative stress through the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS).

Distinct regions of the Swi5 and Ace2 transcription factors are required for specific gene activation [PDF]
Swi5 and Ace2 are cell cycle-regulated transcription factors that activate expression of early G1-specific genes in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Swi5 and Ace2 have zinc finger DNA-binding domains that are highly conserved, and the two proteins bind to the ...

SOS system induction inhibits the assembly of chemoreceptor signaling clusters in Salmonella enterica [PDF]
Swarming, a flagellar-driven multicellular form of motility, is associated with bacterial virulence and increased antibiotic resistance. In this work we demonstrate that activation of the SOS response reversibly inhibits swarming motility by preventing ...

A flexible integrative approach based on random forest improves prediction of transcription factor binding sites [PDF]
Transcription factor binding sites (TFBSs) are DNA sequences of 6-15 base pairs. Interaction of these TFBSs with transcription factors (TFs) is largely responsible for most spatiotemporal gene expression patterns.

Charakterisierung der Regulation und Funktion von PPARbeta [PDF]
Im Zusammenhang mit Tumorerkrankungen kristallisierte sich in den letzten Jahren eine Gruppe von Kernrezeptoren heraus, die zunehmend mit Prozessen wie dem Zellzyklus, der Apoptose oder der Angiogenese in Verbindung gebracht wurden - die Familie der ...

A Standard Parts List for Biological Circuitry [PDF]
One of the hallmarks of biochemical circuits found in nature is analog, asymmetric, asynchronous design. That is, there is little standardization of parts, e.g. all the promoters have different strengths and kinetics, transcription factors are designed
