AbstractThe Asian citrus psyllid, Diaphorina citri Kuwayama, transmits the bacteria Candidatus Liberibacter associated with huanglongbing (HLB), a devastating disease of the citrus industry. The use of genetically modified plants is an alternative to control this vector.

Quantitative insertion-site sequencing (QIseq) for high throughput phenotyping of transposon mutants [PDF]
Genetic screening using random transposon insertions has been a powerful tool for uncovering biology in prokaryotes, where whole-genome saturating screens have been performed in multiple organisms. In eukaryotes, such screens have proven more problematic,

RNA interference is a powerful tool against corn rootworm. Adults and neonates of southern corn rootworm, Diabrotica undecimpunctata howardi Barber (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae), were exposed to the LC50 of vATPase-A and Snf7 double-stranded RNAs (dsRNAs), and the effects on female fecundity, egg viability, male fitness as measured by sperm viability and

Microfluidic genome-wide profiling of intrinsic electrical properties in Saccharomyces cerevisiae [PDF]
Methods to analyze the intrinsic physical properties of cells – for example, size, density, rigidity, or electrical properties – are an active area of interest in the microfluidics community.

Frontotemporal Dementia Linked to Chromosome 3 in Saccharomyces cerevisiae [PDF]
Frontotemporal dementia (FTD) represents a crippling new neurodegenerative disease for scientific investigation. Marked by characteristic frontal and temporal lobar cortical atrophy, FTD results in the progressive deterioration of social and behavioral ...

The I-BAR protein Ivy1 is an effector of the Rab7 GTPase Ypt7 involved in vacuole membrane homeostasis [PDF]
Membrane fusion at the vacuole depends on a conserved machinery that includes SNAREs, the Rab7 homolog Ypt7 and its effector HOPS. Here, we demonstrate that Ypt7 has an unexpected additional function by controlling membrane homeostasis and nutrient ...

ABSTRACT According to the endosymbiotic theory of mitochondrial origin, an α‐proteobacterium entered a prokaryotic cell and, through symbiosis, evolved into the mitochondria—the powerhouse of the cell. Like other bacteria, the α‐proteobacteria generate their own extracellular vesicles (EVs), a trait that was passed onto the mitochondria, enabling them ...

Phagocytic cells capture and kill most invader microbes within the bactericidal phagosome, but some pathogens subvert killing by damaging the compartment and escaping to the cytosol.

Stability of ESCRT III Snf7 Polymer Influenced by: Bro1 and Vps2/Vps24 [PDF]
The endosomal sorting complexes required for transport (ESCRT) are protein complexes that remodel cellular membranes. The ESCRT III membrane machinery has been implicated in regulating membrane bound receptor proteins through the multi-vesicular body ...
