LCO receptors involved in arbuscular mycorrhiza are functional for rhizobia perception in legumes

Girardin, Ariane ; Wang, Tongming ; Ding, Yi ; Keller, Jean ; Buendia, Luis ; Gaston, Mégane ; Ribeyre, Camille ; Gasciolli, Virginie ; Auriac, Marie-Christine ; Vernié, Tatiana ; Bendahmane, Abdelhafid ; Ried, Martina Katharina ; Parniske, Martin ; Morel, Patrice ; Vandenbussche, Michiel ; Schorderet, Martine ; Reinhardt, Didier ; Delaux, Pierre-Marc ; Bono, Jean-Jacques ; Lefebvre, Benoit

Bacterial lipo-chitooligosaccharides (LCOs) are key mediators of the nitrogen-fixing root nodule symbiosis (RNS) in legumes. The isolation of LCOs from arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi suggested that LCOs are also signaling molecules in arbuscular mycorrhiza (AM). However, the corresponding plant receptors have remained uncharacterized. Here we show that petunia and tomato mutants in the LysM ...

Conformational proofreading of distant 40S ribosomal subunit maturation events by a long-range communication mechanism

Mitterer, Valentin ; Shayan, Ramtin ; Ferreira-Cerca, Sébastien ; Murat, Guillaume ; Enne, Tanja ; Rinaldi, Dana ; Weigl, Sarah ; Omanic, Hajrija ; Gleizes, Pierre-Emmanuel ; Kressler, Dieter ; Plisson-Chastang, Celia ; Pertschy, Brigitte

Eukaryotic ribosomes are synthesized in a hierarchical process driven by a plethora of assembly factors, but how maturation events at physically distant sites on pre- ribosomes are coordinated is poorly understood. Using functional analyses and cryo- EM, we show that ribosomal protein Rps20 orchestrates communication between two multi-step maturation events across the pre-40S subunit. Our...

TASmania: A bacterial Toxin-Antitoxin Systems database

Akarsu, Hatice ; Bordes, Patricia ; Mansour, Moise ; Bigot, Donna-Joe ; Genevaux, Pierre ; Falquet, Laurent

In: PLOS Computational Biology, 2019, vol. 15, no. 4, p. e1006946

Bacterial Toxin-Antitoxin systems (TAS) are involved in key biological functions including plasmid maintenance, defense against phages, persistence and virulence. They are found in nearly all phyla and classified into 6 different types based on the mode of inactivation of the toxin, with the type II TAS being the best characterized so far. We have herein developed a new in silico discovery...

Vitis methods to understand and develop strategies for diagnosis and sustainable control of grapevine trunk diseases

Reis, P. ; Pierron, R. ; Larignon, P. ; Lecomte, P. ; Abou-Mansour, Eliane ; Farine, S. ; Bertsch, C. ; Jacques, A. ; Trotel-Aziz, P. ; Rego, C. ; Fontaine, F.

In: Phytopathology, 2019, vol. 109, no. 6, p. 916–931

Vitis vinifera is affected by many diseases every year, depending on causal agents, susceptibility of cultivars, and climate region. Some are caused by a single agent, such as gray mold caused by Botrytis cinerea or powdery mildew caused by Erysiphe necator. Others result from the actions of a complex of pathogens such as grapevine trunk diseases (GTDs). GTDs are presently among the most...
