The SCF (Skp1-Cul1-F-box protein) ubiquitin ligase complex plays a pivotal role in various biological processes, including host-pathogen interactions.
The Agrobacterium F-box protein VirF plays an essential role in uncoating of the T-complex in the host cells
Chromatin structure and modifications play an indispensable role in a wide range of cellular processes, including DSB repair.
RNA silencing, also known as post-transcriptional gene silencing (PTGS), plays a central role in plant defense responses against viral pathogens.
Plants encode an unusually large number of F-box subunits, making the SCF complexes the largest class of E3 ubiquitin ligases for plants.
Host-pathogen interactions represent a never-ending arms race.
Most organisms have evolved elaborate defense systems to fight against unwanted pathogens, while pathogens exploit or interfere with the host cellular functions to maximize their own infection efficiency.
Many pathogens encode virulence factors that mimic the function of host proteins, thereby subverting host cellular processes for efficient infection.
Diverse pathogens have evolved virulence factors that mimic host cell functions.
RNA silencing serves as a well-conserved antiviral defense mechanism in both plants and animals.
Agrobacterium-mediated genetic transformation of plants is the only known natural example of trans-kingdom gene transfer.
In eukaryotes, DSBs are known to be repaired by two conserved pathways: homologous recombination (HR) and non-homologous end joining (NHEJ).
TAL (Transcription Activator-Like) effectors of a plant pathogen Xanthomonas is a key virulence factor that is transported from the bacteria into the host cell via type III secretion system.
FLC is the central floral repressor that transcriptionally down-regulates several genes required for flowering.
Plants are intrinsically sensitive to temperature, thereby optimizing their development and growth in changing environments.
The PEBP family of Arabidopsis has received increased attention since one of its members, FT (Flowering Locus T), was identified as a mobile signal that promotes flowering.
Chitin, a major component of fungal cell walls, represents one of the paradigms of PAMPs that trigger antimicrobial defense response in both animals and plants.
Conjugation of SUMO to protein substrates, also known as SUMOylation, represents an essential post-translational modification that regulates diverse cellular processes.
It is now textbook knowledge that the ubiquitin/26S proteasome system (UPS) mediates protein degradation and is essential for diverse cellular processes.
The CSN is a highly conserved protein complex that modulates the activity of the cullin-RING ubiquitin ligases (CRLs).
Iron is an essential micronutrient that is involved in a plethora of biological processes, such as respiration and photosynthesis.
The role of E3 ubiquitin ligases in the UPS is substantial as these enzymes determine substrate specificity by selectively recruiting target proteins to the ubiquitination machinery.
In plants, the SCF complex has been shown to regulate a multitude of developmental processes.
Agrobacterium tumefaciens-encoded VirF is the first F-box protein that was identified in prokaryotes and proved functional in eukaryotic host cells.
