Brute force... Song et al report that BRUTUS transcription -which encodes an Fe sensor with E3 ligase activity- maintains cellular Fe homeostasis and finely tunes its uptake during periods of Fe-deficiency and Fe overload, respectively doi.org/10.1093/pcp/... #PlantScience

The transcription factor WRKY13 activates BRUTUS to maintain iron homeostasis in Arabidopsis

Abstract. Iron (Fe) is a fundamental micronutrient for plant and animal physiology. Consequently, Fe limitation in agricultural systems not only compromise

Divide & Conquer... Shimada et al. show how infection by the fungus C. higginsianum induces actin fragmentation in cucumber & brassica species; a distinct and highly effective infection strategy that escapes detection by the canonical immune recognition system doi.org/10.1093/pcp/... #plantscience

Actin fragmentation induced by Colletotrichum higginsianum infection facilitates hyphal invasion in Arabidopsis thaliana leaves

Abstract. Actin filaments are essential for plant cellular functions, and their dynamics are altered in response to fungal infection, contributing to defen

[⚠️JOB ALERT⚠️] We are looking for a Research assistant (IE for those familiar with the French system) in molecular biology to run DAPseq in the lab. 18 months contract (to start) Start date: October 1st. Exprience in library prep., in vitro transcription/translation system or DAPseq is a must.

#PlantProteostasis is maintained by #ubiquitin E3 ligases, especially during #PlantImmunity. We discovered that HECT-type ligases unexpectedly amplify their regulatory reach over the proteome by governing the stabilities of both E3 ligases and their substrates, thereby regulating immune activation.

A major advice I try to pass on: science is only worth it if you can delight in the discoveries of others. It’s great to make your own discoveries but they are too few to sustain you over the long haul.
