Traits-based approach: leveraging genome size in plant-microbe interactions
Trends Microbiol. 2023 Nov 2:S0966-842X(23)00294-9. doi: 10.1016/j.tim.2023.10.004. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTTrait-based approaches have gained growing interest in studying plant-microbe interactions. However, current traits normally considered (e.g., morphological, physiological, or chemical traits) are biased towards those showing large intraspecific variations, necessitating the identification of fewer plastic traits that differ between species. Here, we propose using genome size (the amount of DNA in the nucleus of a cell) as a suitable trait for studying plant-microbiome interactions due to its relatively stable ...

Targeting wheat fusarium head blight with mycovirus-mediated VIGS
Trends Microbiol. 2023 Oct 30:S0966-842X(23)00296-2. doi: 10.1016/j.tim.2023.10.007. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTFusarium head blight (FHB) caused by Fusarium graminearum occurs in wheat (Triticum aestivum) and threatens food production worldwide. Wheat lacks broad, durable FHB resistance. However, Zhang et al. developed a mycovirus-based virus-induced gene-silencing system in F. graminearum, providing efficient biocontrol of this devastating fungal disease.PMID:37914620 | DOI:10.1016/j.tim.2023.10.007 (Source: Trends in Microbiology)

Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTTranscription activation is an important checkpoint of regulation of gene expression which occurs in response to different intracellular and extracellular signals. The key elements in this signal transduction process are transcription activators, which determine when and how gene expression is activated. Recent structural studies on a considerable number of new transcription activation complexes (TACs) revealed the remarkable mechanistic diversity of transcription activation mediated by different factors, nece...

Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTNeisseria gonorrhoeae is a human-specific pathogen responsible for the sexually transmitted infection, gonorrhoea. N. gonorrhoeae promotes its survival by manipulating both innate and adaptive immune responses. The most abundant gonococcal outer-membrane protein is PorB, an essential porin that facilitates ion exchange. Importantly, gonococcal PorB has several immunomodulatory properties. To subvert the innate immune response, PorB suppresses killing mechanisms of macrophages and neutrophils, and recruits nega...
