Article Abstract
SUMMARY Suppression subtractive hybridization was used to isolate the genes which are specifically up-regulated in the biotrophic phase of the incompatible interaction between a potato genotype, 1512 c(16), containing the resistance gene R2, and a Phytophthora infestans isolate containing the avirulence gene Avr2. Eight cDNAs were up-regulated in the biotrophic phase of the incompatible interaction. Seven of these were also up-regulated in the compatible interaction, but not until late in the necrotrophic phase. Amongst the sequences to be isolated were genes encoding the cysteine protease cathepsin B, StCathB, and an oxysterol binding protein, StOBP1; equivalent genes are involved in programmed cell death (PCD) processes in animals, but have yet to be implicated in such processes in plants. Whereas StOBP1 was up-regulated early in potato plants containing either R gene-mediated or moderate to high levels of field resistance, the highest levels of up-regulation of StCathB were observed early in R gene-mediated resistance but gradually increased from the early to late stages of field resistance, revealing these genes to be components of independent defence pathways and providing a means of distinguishing between these forms of resistance. StOBP1 was up-regulated by oligogalacturonides (plant cell wall breakdown products generated by pectinase activities), indicating that it is also a component of a general, non-specific defence pathway and is unlikely to play a role in PCD. In contrast, the expression of StCathB was unaffected by oligogalacturonide treatment, further associating its up-regulation specifically with the gene-for-gene interaction.

Lipid transfer proteins (LTPs) are specialized proteins that convey specific lipids across the cytosol to regulate the lipid composition of organelles and the plasma membrane. Quantifying to which extent these LTPs recognize and transfer various lipid species and subspecies is of prime interest to define their cellular role(s). Here, we describe how to measure in vitro the relative affinity of Osh6p, a yeast phosphatidylserine (PS)/phosphatidylinositol 4-phosphate (PI(4)P) exchanger belonging to the oxysterol-binding protein(OSBP)-related protein (ORP) family, for PS and phosphoinositide subspecies.

Oxysterol-binding protein (OSBP)-related proteins (ORPs) are a large family of lipid transfer proteins (LTPs) in mammals. ORPs mediate the countertransport of two distinct lipids at membrane contact sites (MCSs). ORP10 is localized via binding to ORP9 at the endoplasmic reticulum (ER)-endosome MCSs, where it mediates countertransport of phosphatidylinositol 4-phosphate (PI4P) and phosphatidylserine (PS).

Background: Many members of the oxysterol-binding protein-related protein (ORP) family have been characterized in detail over the past decades, but the lipid transport and other functions of ORP7 still remain elusive. What is known about ORP7 points toward an endoplasmic reticulum and plasma membrane-localized protein, which also interacts with GABA type A receptor-associated protein like 2 (GABARAPL2) and unlipidated Microtubule-associated proteins 1A/1B light chain 3B (LC3B), suggesting a further autophagosomal/lysosomal association. Functional roles of ORP7 have been suggested in cholesterol efflux, hypercholesterolemia, and macroautophagy.

Oxathiapiprolin, a novel fungicide targeting oxysterol-binding proteins (OSBP), has proven to be effective against various oomycete diseases, but its effects on pathogens remain underexplored. In this study, we demonstrated that oxathiapiprolin inhibits mycelium growth, sporangium production, zoospore release, and oospore production in , with 50% effective concentrations ranging from 0.000153 to 0.
