Pathogene Bakterien schalten ihr Virulenzprogramm erst an, wenn sie sich im Wirt befinden, um nicht frühzeitig vom Immunsystem erkannt zu werden. Forschende haben einen neuen Schalter dafür entdeckt.

Agrobacterium tumefaciens delivers oncogenic transfer DNA (T-DNA) into plants via a type IV secretion system (T4SS). This process requires virulence factors from the tumor-inducing (Ti) plasmid and chromosomal genes such as acvB. We previously identified AcvB as a lysyl-phosphatidylglycerol (L-PG) h …

It is difficult to fathom why anyone intelligent enough to be a scientist would actually choose to be one. Doing good science requires the utmost exertion of body, mind and spirit, yet is consistently...

Das Problem ist bekannt, an einer Lösung wird gearbeitet.

Pflanzen wissen sich gegen pathogene Mikroorganismen zu wehren. Die Schädlinge wiederum haben Antennen für diese Abwehrmechanismen. Forschende haben neue Einblicke gewonnen, wie dieses Duell abläuft.

Pathogenic bacteria often encounter fluctuating reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels, particularly during host infection, necessitating robust redox-sensing mechanisms for survival. The LysR-type tran...
