Given that a precise understanding of thebiochemical mechanismof action ofbacterial effector proteinsis now possible, the question is whether we can exploit the novel activities of thesevirulence factorsfor therapeutic benefit, such as engineeringT cell activationin a synthetic biology approach to ...

These effectors elicit profound changes in host biology to suppress immunity and establish a unique feeding organ from which the nematode draws nutrition. Despite the importance of effectors in nematode parasitism, there has been no comprehensive identification and characterisation ...

infestans infection, demonstrating that these effector targets fulfil the definition of S factors. However, based on expression of the effector in planta, it appears that their roles as S factors require R/KVxF-dependent interaction with Pi04314, with Pi04314 acting as a PIP to form unique '...
saliva, respectively. Notably, although saliva proteins detected in diet samples have, by definition, been secreted, the majority appear not to have canonical secretion signals. Explanations range from incomplete/incorrect gene models to non-canonical or alternative secretion mechanisms. Our results high...
It is well established that PD-1 is expressed by follicular T cells but its function in regulation of human T helper cells has been unclear. We investigated the expression modality and function of PD-1 expressed by human T cells specialized in helping B cells. Results We found that PD-1-...
