Sequence–Activity Relationships for the Snf7 Insecticidal dsRNA in Chrysomelidae [PDF]

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2020
The responsiveness of insects to oral delivery of insecticidal dsRNA has been shown to be dependent on dsRNA length and sequence match. Previous work with the western corn rootworm (WCR, Diabrotica virgifera virgifera; Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae ...

Structural basis for activation, assembly and membrane binding of ESCRT-III Snf7 filaments

eLife, 2015
The endosomal sorting complexes required for transport (ESCRTs) constitute hetero-oligomeric machines that catalyze multiple topologically similar membrane-remodeling processes.

Ultrastructural changes caused by Snf7 RNAi in larval enterocytes of western corn rootworm (Diabrotica virgifera virgifera Le Conte). [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2014
The high sensitivity to oral RNA interference (RNAi) of western corn rootworm (WCR, Diabrotica virgifera virgifera Le Conte) provides a novel tool for pest control.

Membrane interaction of cyanobacterial and chloroplast ESCRT-III proteins. [PDF]

Plant J
SUMMARY More than three decades ago, the inner membrane‐associated protein of 30 kDa (IM30), also known as Vipp1, was identified in pea chloroplasts to bind to the chloroplast inner envelope membrane. IM30/Vipp1 is a membrane‐associated and soluble stromal protein and is proposed to mediate vesicle formation.

Membrane binding of a cyanobacterial ESCRT-III protein crucially involves the helix α1-3 hairpin conserved in all superfamily members. [PDF]

Protein Sci
Abstract IM30, the inner membrane‐associated protein of 30 kDa (also known as Vipp1) is essential for thylakoid membrane biogenesis and/or maintenance in chloroplasts and cyanobacteria. IM30 and its bacterial homolog PspA belong to the ESCRT‐III superfamily, proteins previously thought to be restricted to eukaryotes and archaea.

Vacuolar transport and function of Saccharomyces cerevisiae sterol ester hydrolase Tgl1. [PDF]

FEBS Lett
Tgl1, one of yeast sterol ester hydrolases, had been found on the lipid droplets where sterol esters are mainly stored. This study revealed that Tgl1 is transported into the vacuole depending on the ESCRT‐I–III complex, and that it exhibits intra‐vacuolar sterol ester hydrolase activity.

Lactobacillus agilis SNF7 Presents Excellent Antibacteria and Anti-Inflammation Properties in Mouse Diarrhea Induced by Escherichia coli. [PDF]

Int J Mol Sci
Escherichia coli (E. coli) is a common pathogen that causes diarrhea in newborns and animals. Antibiotics are typically used to treat bacterial diarrhea, a global intestinal health issue. Probiotics have gained interest as a potential substitute for antibiotics in the management of E. coli-induced diarrhea and present novel therapeutic options. In this

Molecular and genetic analysis of the SNF7 gene in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. [PDF]

Genetics, 1993
Abstract Mutations in the SNF7 gene of Saccharomyces cerevisiae prevent full derepression of the SUC2 (invertase) gene in response to glucose limitation. We report the molecular cloning of the SNF7 gene by complementation. Sequence analysis predicts that the gene product is a 27-kDa acidic protein.

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.

Autophagosome closure by ESCRT: Vps21/RAB5-regulated ESCRT recruitment via an Atg17-Snf7 interaction [PDF]

Autophagy, 2019
The macroautophagy/autophagy pathway includes successive steps of phagophore assembly structure formation, phagophore expansion, autophagosome (AP) closure and AP fusion with the lysosome/vacuole. Although information about regulators, factors and molecular mechanisms important for early and late steps of autophagy is abundant, information about AP ...
