Germ granule localization of nematode Argonaute WAGO-4 ensures fidelity in small RNA loading Open
Germ granules are liquid-like condensates that regulate small RNA pathways and gene expression, ensuring genome stability and fertility in animals. In C. elegans , several Argonaute proteins, central players of small RNA pathways, localize…

Tip of the iceberg? Three novel <span>TOPLESS</span>‐interacting effectors of the gall‐inducing fungus <i>Ustilago maydis</i> Open
Summary Ustilago maydis is a biotrophic pathogen causing smut disease in maize. It secretes a cocktail of effector proteins, which target different host proteins during its biotrophic stages in the host plant. One such class of proteins we…

Many ways to <span>TOPLESS</span> – manipulation of plant auxin signalling by a cluster of fungal effectors Open
Summary Plant biotrophic pathogens employ secreted molecules, called effectors, to suppress the host immune system and redirect the host's metabolism and development in their favour. Putative effectors of the gall‐inducing maize pathogenic…

Composition can buffer protein dynamics within liquid-like condensates Open
Summary Most non-membrane-bound compartments in cells that form via phase separation have complex composition. While phase separation of individual proteins that form these compartments is well-documented, the mechanisms that modulate dyna…

TOPLESS promotes plant immunity by repressing auxin signaling and is targeted by the fungal effector Naked1 Open
In plants, the antagonism between growth and defense is hardwired by hormonal signaling. The perception of pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs) from invading microorganisms inhibits auxin signaling and plant growth. Conversely, p…

The Pleiades are a cluster of fungal effectors that inhibit host defenses Open
Biotrophic plant pathogens secrete effector proteins to manipulate the host physiology. Effectors suppress defenses and induce an environment favorable to disease development. Sequence-based prediction of effector function is impeded by th…

<i>Ustilago maydis</i> effector Jsi1 interacts with Topless corepressor, hijacking plant jasmonate/ethylene signaling Open
Summary Ustilago maydis is the causal agent of maize smut disease. During the colonization process, the fungus secretes effector proteins that suppress immune responses and redirect the host metabolism in favor of the pathogen. As effector…

Fungal effector Jsi1 hijacks plant JA/ET signaling through Topless Open
Ustilago maydis (U. maydis) is the causal agent of maize smut disease. During the colonization process, the fungus secretes effector proteins which suppress immune responses and redirect the host-metabolism in favor of the pathogen. Here w…

A complete toolset for the study of Ustilago bromivora and Brachypodium sp. as a fungal-temperate grass pathosystem Open
Due to their economic relevance, the study of plant pathogen interactions is of importance. However, elucidating these interactions and their underlying molecular mechanisms remains challenging since both host and pathogen need to be fully…
