Insect respiration has long been thought to be solely dependent on an elaborate tracheal system without assistance from the circulatory or immune cells
SUMMARY Genetic incompatibility occurs when a mismatched pair of plant immune components mounts autoimmune responses in hybrids. Highly diversified NLR receptors are main culprits the genetic conflict, recognizing host proteins from different origin as trigger. Here, we report molecular mechanism underlying DANGEROUS MIX (DM) autoimmunity, comprising DM2h/RPP1 and its incompatible partner DM3, an alpha/beta hydrolase. Cryo-electron microscopy reveals oligomeric nature two natural DM3...
PH-20 is a specific type of hyaluronidase that plays critical role in the fertilization process by facilitating initial binding sperm to glycoprotein layer surrounding oocyte and subsequently breaking down hyaluronic acid polymers cumulus cell layer. contains an epidermal growth factor (EGF)-like domain, which may be involved recognition addition catalytic domain. Herein, we report structure human determined cryogenic electron microscopy. Comparative analyses with two other available...
