Ribosomal RNA gene sequencing for early diagnosis of Blastomyces dermatitidis infection

open access: yesInternational Journal of Infectious Diseases, 2015
Prompt detection and identification of fungal pathogens at the genus and species level is critical in order to provide timely antifungal therapy. Here, we highlight the vital role of molecular diagnostics in achieving a fast and definitive diagnosis of ...

Different Components of the RNA Interference Machinery Are Required for Conidiation, Ascosporogenesis, Virulence, Deoxynivalenol Production, and Fungal Inhibition by Exogenous Double-Stranded RNA in the Head Blight Pathogen Fusarium graminearum

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2019
In filamentous fungi, gene silencing through RNA interference (RNAi) shapes many biological processes, including pathogenicity. We explored the requirement of key components of fungal RNAi machineries, including DICER-like 1 and 2 (FgDCL1, FgDCL2 ...

Contamination inside CT gantry in the SARS-CoV-2 era

open access: yesEuropean Radiology Experimental, 2020
We investigated whether the internal gantry components of our computed tomography (CT) scanner contain severe acute respiratory syndrome 2 (SARS-CoV-2) ribonucleic acid (RNA), bacterial or fungal agents.

Intron turnover is essential to the development and pathogenicity of the plant pathogenic fungus Fusarium graminearum

open access: yesCommunications Biology, 2022
RNA lariat debranching enzyme Dbr1 is required for intron turnover in the fungal plant pathogen Fusarium graminearum  , and accumulation of lariat RNA affects its development and pathogenesis.

Extracellular Vesicle-Mediated RNA Release in Histoplasma capsulatum

open access: yesmSphere, 2019
Eukaryotic cells, including fungi, release extracellular vesicles (EVs). These lipid bilayered compartments play essential roles in cellular communication and pathogenesis. EV composition is complex and includes proteins, glycans, pigments, and RNA. RNAs

Viroid-like RNA-dependent RNA polymerase-encoding ambiviruses are abundant in complex fungi

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2023
Ambiviruses are hybrid infectious elements encoding the hallmark gene of RNA viruses, the RNA-dependent RNA polymerase, and self-cleaving RNA ribozymes found in many viroids.

Two classes of small antisense RNAs in fungal RNA silencing triggered by non-integrative transgenes [PDF]

open access: yesThe EMBO Journal, 2003
Transformation of Mucor circinelloides with self-replicative plasmids containing a wild-type copy of the carotenogenic gene carB causes silencing of the carB function in 3% of transformants. Genomic analyses revealed a relationship between silenced phenotype and number of copies of plasmids.

Disordered but rhythmic—the role of intrinsic protein disorder in eukaryotic circadian timing

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Unstructured domains known as intrinsically disordered regions (IDRs) are present in nearly every part of the eukaryotic core circadian oscillator. IDRs enable many diverse inter‐ and intramolecular interactions that support clock function. IDR conformations are highly tunable by post‐translational modifications and environmental conditions, which ...

Comparison of different methods for total RNA extraction from sclerotia of Rhizoctonia solani

open access: yesElectronic Journal of Biotechnology, 2014
Background: Rhizoctonia solani (teleomorph: Thanatephorus cucumeris) is one of the most important pathogens of rice (Oryza sativa L.) that causes severe yield losses in all rice-growing regions.

Understanding bio‐based polymers: A study of origins, properties, biodegradation and their impact on health and the environment

open access: yesFEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
This review provides an overview of bio‐based polymer sources, their unique functional properties and their environmental impact, and addresses their role as sustainable alternatives. It discusses end‐of‐life options, including composting and anaerobic digestion for renewable energy.
