Vtc4 Promotes the Entry of Phagophores into Vacuoles in the Saccharomyces cerevisiae Snf7 Mutant Cell. [PDF]
J Fungi (Basel), 2023 Endocytosis and autophagy are the main pathways to deliver cargoes in vesicles and autophagosomes, respectively, to vacuoles/lysosomes in eukaryotes. Multiple positive regulators but few negative ones are reported to regulate the entry of vesicles and ...

Snf7 spirals sense and alter membrane curvature. [PDF]
Nat Commun, 2022 Snf7 is the major component of the ESCRTIII membrane deformation system. Here, the authors used high-speed AFM to study Snf7 on nano-patterned and soft supports and show that loaded Snf7 spiral springs are curvature sensitive and deform membranes.

The chromosomal passenger complex controls the function of endosomal sorting complex required for transport-III Snf7 proteins during cytokinesis [PDF]
Open Biology, 2012 Summary Cytokinesis controls the proper segregation of nuclear and cytoplasmic materials at the end of cell division. The chromosomal passenger complex (CPC) has been proposed to monitor the final separation of the two daughter cells at the end of ...

Physiological and cellular responses caused by RNAi- mediated suppression of Snf7 orthologue in western corn rootworm (Diabrotica virgifera virgifera) larvae. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 Ingestion of double stranded RNA (dsRNA) has been previously demonstrated to be effective in triggering RNA interference (RNAi) in western corn rootworm (WCR, Diabrotica virgifera virgifera LeConte), providing potential novel opportunities for insect ...

Design principles of the ESCRT-III Vps24-Vps2 module. [PDF]
Elife, 2021 ESCRT-III polymerization is required for all endosomal sorting complex required for transport (ESCRT)-dependent events in the cell. However, the relative contributions of the eight ESCRT-III subunits differ between each process.

The phage shock protein (PSP) envelope stress response: discovery of novel partners and evolutionary history. [PDF]
mSystemsBacterial phage shock protein (PSP) systems stabilize the bacterial cell membrane and protect against envelope stress. These systems have been associated with virulence, but despite their critical roles, PSP components are not well characterized outside ...

Optimal dsRNA Concentration for RNA Interference in Asian Citrus Psyllid. [PDF]
InsectsThe Asian citrus psyllid (ACP) is a citrus pest and insect vector of “Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus”, the causal agent of citrus greening disease. Double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) biopesticides that trigger RNA interference (RNAi) offer an alternative to ...

First Evidence of Feeding-Induced RNAi in Banana Weevil via Exogenous Application of dsRNA
Insects, 2021 Banana weevil (Cosmopolites sordidus) is the most devastating pest of banana and plantain worldwide, yet current control measures are neither effective, sustainable, nor environmentally sound, and no resistant farmer-preferred cultivars are known to date.

RNAi for Western Corn Rootworm Management: Lessons Learned, Challenges, and Future Directions
Insects, 2022 The western corn rootworm (WCR), Diabrotica virgifera virgifera LeConte, is considered one of the most economically important pests of maize (Zea mays L.) in the United States (U.S.) Corn Belt with costs of management and yield losses exceeding USD ~1–2 ...
