Virulence of Fusarium oxysporum strains causing corneal or plant disease is associated with their accessory chromosomes

This study compares two Fusarium oxysporum strains causing human and plant diseases, finding differences in virulence and accessory chromosomes associated with host adaptation.

Time-resolved transcriptomics reveal a mechanism of host niche defense: beneficial root endophytes deploy a host-protective antimicrobial GH18-CBM5 chitinase

This study uses time-resolved transcriptomics to identify a GH18-CBM5 chitinase in Sebacinales fungi that protects plants against the pathogen Bipolaris sorokiniana.

Phylogeny, morphology, virulence, ecology, and host range of Ordospora pajunii (Ordosporidae), a microsporidian symbiont of Daphnia spp.

This paper investigates the impact of Ordospora pajunii on Daphnia hosts, finding low virulence and context-dependent effects, and identifies it as a valuable model for studying mutualism-parasitism shifts.

CSPP1 stabilizes growing microtubule ends and damaged lattices from the luminal side.

This study identifies CSPP1 as a microtubule stabilizer that binds to growing and damaged microtubules, providing insights into its role in ciliary and centriolar structure maintenance.

Opto-Katanin: An Optogenetic Tool for Localized Microtubule Disassembly

This paper introduces opto-katanin, a light-activated tool for localized microtubule disassembly, enabling precise spatiotemporal control in mammalian cells.

Angiomotin isoform 2 promotes binding of PALS1 to KIF13B at the base of primary cilia and suppresses ciliary elongation

This study identifies Angiomotin isoform 2 as a KIF13B interactor that recruits PALS1 to the base of primary cilia, regulating ciliary length by modulating KIF13B cargo binding.

Concerted action of kinesins KIF5B and KIF13B promotes efficient secretory vesicle transport to microtubule plus ends

The paper shows that KIF5B and KIF13B work together to transport secretory vesicles to microtubule plus ends, with KIF5B playing a dominant role and KIF13B assisting in reaching newly polymerized ends.

Mechanisms of motor-independent membrane remodeling driven by dynamic microtubules

This study reconstitutes membrane tubulation using dynamic microtubules and proteins, revealing three motor-independent mechanisms for membrane remodeling.

MAP7 family proteins regulate kinesin-1 recruitment and activation

The paper shows that MAP7 family proteins activate kinesin-1 by enhancing its microtubule binding and processivity through transient interactions.

Integrative visual omics of the white-rot fungus Polyporus brumalis exposes the biotechnological potential of its oxidative enzymes for delignifying raw plant biomass.

This study identifies the oxidative enzyme systems in Polyporus brumalis that enable efficient lignin degradation during wheat straw fermentation.
