Many of the world's most devastating crop diseases are caused by fungal pathogens that elaborate specialized infection structures to invade plant tissue. Here, we present a quantitative mass-spectrometry-based phosphoproteomic analysis infection-related development rice blast fungus Magnaporthe oryzae, which threatens global food security. We mapped 8,005 phosphosites on 2,062 proteins following germination hydrophobic surface, revealing major re-wiring phosphorylation-based signaling...
Lichens are composite, symbiotic associations of fungi, algae, and bacteria that result in large, anatomically complex organisms adapted to many the world's most challenging environments. How such intricate, self-replicating lichen architectures develop from simple microbial components remains unknown because their recalcitrance experimental manipulation. Here, we report a metagenomic metatranscriptomic analysis Xanthoria parietina at different developmental stages. We identified 168 genomes...
Marine microorganisms contribute to the health of global ocean by supporting marine food web and regulating biogeochemical cycles. Assessing microbial diversity is a crucial step towards understanding ocean. The waters surrounding Iceland are complex environment where relatively warm salty from Atlantic cool down sink deep. Microbial studies in this area have focused on photosynthetic micro- nanoplankton mainly using microscopy chlorophyll measurements. However, function bacterial archaeal...
Temperature adaptation of bacterial RNAs is a subject both fundamental and practical interest because it will allow better understanding molecular mechanism RNA folding with potential industrial application functional thermophilic or psychrophilic RNAs. Here, we performed comprehensive study rRNA, tRNA, mRNA more than 200 species optimal growth temperatures (OGT) ranging from 4°C to 95°C. We investigated temperature at primary, secondary tertiary structure levels. showed that unlike mRNA,...
The North Atlantic Ocean surrounds Iceland, influencing its climate and hosting a rich ecosystem that provides the Icelandic nation with economically valuable marine species. basis of consists communities diverse microorganisms including bacteria, archaea, unicellular eukaryotes. While primary production waters has been monitored since 50s, there is limited knowledge taxonomic metabolic diversity in based on molecular techniques. In this study, we conducted annual sampling at four...
SUMMARY Many of the world’s most devastating crop diseases are caused by fungal pathogens which elaborate specialized infection structures to invade plant tissue. Here we present a quantitative mass spectrometry-based phosphoproteomic analysis infection-related development rice blast fungus Magnaporthe oryzae , threatens global food security. We mapped 8,005 phosphosites on 2,062 proteins, revealing major re-wiring phosphorylation-based signaling cascades during infection. Comparing...
