Nuclear effectors of plant pathogens modulate the host immunity. Here, Lim et al. unveiled the core sequence and mechanism for nuclear localization of the rice blast fungal effector, MoHTR1, revealing its role in regulating the host immune system. You-Jin Lim , Yoon-Ju Yoon & Yong-Hwan Lee...
Some plant pathogens prefer the phloem tissue as a habitat for several reasons: 1) Pathogens restricted to the phloem possess small genomes, lacking essential genes for various metabolic functions, including those involved in the tricarboxylic acid cycle and amino acid production. 2) The phloem serve...

Of the predicted PPIs, 256 contain virulence factors (according to VFDB and Uniprot Keywords) that participate in pathogen colonization, nutrient acquisition and evasion of host immunity46. Secreted virulence factors rarely interact with endogenous proteins of a pathogen; consistent with this, we did ...
Sex, Hormones, and Immunity It has become increasingly clear that males and females differ in immune responses [15]. As a general rule, females exhibit greater capability of producing antibodies than males [16]. They are less susceptible to infectious diseases [15] but can develop a stronger ...
Aims and scope Gut Pathogenspublishes research on both biological and clinical aspects of the pathogens of the gut. Studies on commensals and functional microbiota of the gut, including probiotic bacteria should be essentially in the context of infection, immunity, treatment, control or epidemiology of...

While the physical barrier function of the epidermis was formerly believed to play the major role in the protection against infections, the recent description of Toll-like receptors (TLRs) and antimicrobial peptides in the epidermis indicates that keratinocytes play an active role in innate immunity....
Many animal- and plant-pathogenic bacteria use a type III secretion system to deliver effector proteins into host cells1,2. Elucidation of how these effector proteins function in host cells is critical for understanding infectious diseases in animals and
