Detection and Quantification of Protein Aggregates in Plants.

Protein quality control is an important aspect of stress recovery. It maintains protein homeostasis through a machinery of regulatory proteins such as chaperones and proteases. When the system recognizes accumulation of misfolded or aggregated proteins, the cell recruits a set of regulatory proteins to initiate protein quality control.

Robust transcriptional indicators of immune cell death revealed by spatiotemporal transcriptome analyses.

Recognition of a pathogen by the plant immune system often triggers a form of regulated cell death traditionally known as the hypersensitive response (HR). This type of cell death occurs precisely at the site of pathogen recognition, and it is restricted to a few cells. Extensive research has shed light on how plant immune receptors are mechanistically activated.

Interaction of host and Staphylococcus aureus protease-system regulates virulence and pathogenicity.

Staphylococcus aureus causes various health care- and community-associated infections as well as certain chronic TH2 driven inflammatory diseases. It is a potent pathogen with serious virulence and associated high morbidity. Severe pathogenicity is accredited to the S.
