Journal of Fungi, 2022 Fungal plant pathogens use proteinaceous effectors as well as newly identified secondary metabolites (SMs) and small non-coding RNA (sRNA) effectors to manipulate the host plant’s defense system via diverse plant cell compartments, distinct organelles ...

PLoS Pathogens, 2023 Small RNAs act as fungal pathogen effectors that silence host target genes to promote infection, a virulence mechanism termed cross-kingdom RNA interference (RNAi). The essential pathogen factors of cross-kingdom small RNA production are largely unknown.

RNA biology in fungal phytopathogens. [PDF]
PLoS Pathogens, 2013 RNA-dependent processes are essential to determine when, where, and how much of a protein is synthesized. In eukaryotes, these processes start with transcription in the nucleus and end with mRNA translation at distinct cytoplasmic sites followed by mRNA degradation [1].

RNA-based therapeutics to treat human fungal infections [PDF]
Trends in Microbiology, 2022 In recent decades, RNA-based therapeutics have transitioned from a near impossibility to a compelling treatment alternative for genetic disorders and infectious diseases. The mRNA vaccines against severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) are truly groundbreaking, and new adaptations are already being proposed to fight other microbes.

A fungal Argonaute interferes with RNA interference [PDF]
Nucleic Acids Research, 2018 Small RNA (sRNA)-mediated gene silencing phenomena, exemplified by RNA interference (RNAi), require a unique class of proteins called Argonautes (AGOs). An AGO protein typically forms a protein-sRNA complex that contributes to gene silencing using the loaded sRNA as a specificity determinant. Here, we show that MoAGO2, one of the three AGO genes in the

Extracellular vesicle-mediated export of fungal RNA [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2015 Extracellular vesicles (EVs) play an important role in the biology of various organisms, including fungi, in which they are required for the trafficking of molecules across the cell wall. Fungal EVs contain a complex combination of macromolecules, including proteins, lipids and glycans.

RNA-Based Control of Fungal Pathogens in Plants
International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2023 Our duty to conserve global natural ecosystems is increasingly in conflict with our need to feed an expanding population. The use of conventional pesticides not only damages the environment and vulnerable biodiversity but can also still fail to prevent crop losses of 20–40% due to pests and pathogens.

Fungal RNA editing: who, when, and why? [PDF]
Applied Microbiology and Biotechnology, 2020 Abstract RNA editing occurs in all kingdoms of life and in various RNA species. The editing of nuclear protein-coding transcripts has long been known in metazoans, but was only recently detected in fungi. In contrast to many metazoan species, fungal editing sites occur mostly in coding regions, and therefore, fungal editing can change protein ...

Fungal Small RNAs Suppress Plant Immunity by Hijacking Host RNA Interference Pathways [PDF]
Science, 2013 RNA on the Attack Plant microbial pathogens often work through protein effectors that are delivered into the plant cells to disrupt critical cellular functions. Weiberg et al. (p. 118
