Plant Pathogen Effectors: Getting Mixed Messages
Plant pathogen effectors have now been shown to mimic plant transcription factors and turn on genes that help the pathogen. Some plants, however, have evolved to use these pathogen-derived transcription factors to turn on defence.
متن کاملRoadmap for future research on plant pathogen effectors.
Bacterial and eukaryotic plant pathogens deliver effector proteins into plant cells to promote pathogenesis. Bacterial pathogens containing type III protein secretion systems are known to inject many of these effectors into plant cells. More recently, oomycete pathogens have been shown to possess a large family of effectors containing the RXLR motif, and many effectors are also being discovered...
متن کاملIgG4 subclass-specific responses to Staphylococcus aureus antigens shed new light on host-pathogen interaction.
IgG4 responses are considered indicative for long-term or repeated exposure to particular antigens. Therefore, studying IgG4-specific antibody responses against Staphylococcus aureus might generate new insights into the respective host-pathogen interactions and the microbial virulence factors involved. Using a bead-based flow cytometry assay, we determined total IgG (IgGt), IgG1, and IgG4 antib...

متن کاملGenotype networks shed light on evolutionary constraints.
An evolutionary constraint is a bias or limitation in phenotypic variation that a biological system produces. One can distinguish physicochemical, selective, genetic and developmental causes of such constraints. Here, I discuss these causes in three classes of system that bring forth many phenotypic traits and evolutionary innovations: regulatory circuits, macromolecules and metabolic networks....
