Duplication and neofunctionalization of a horizontally-transferred xyloglucanase as a facet of the red queen co-evolutionary dynamic

V. Attah, D. S. Milner, Y. Fang, X. Yan, G. Leonard, J. Heitman, N. J. Talbot, T. A. Richards

The paper investigates the duplication and neofunctionalization of a horizontally-transferred xyloglucanase gene in oomycetes, showing how these variants contribute to plant pathogenesis and host-pathogen co-evolution.

Shuffled ATG8 interacting motifs form an ancestral bridge between UFMylation and C53-mediated autophagy

L. Picchianti, V. Sanchez de Medina Hernandez, N. Zhan, N. A. T. Irwin, M. Stephani, H. Hornegger, R. Beveridge, J. Sawa-Makarska, T. Lendl, N. Grujic, S. Martens, T. A. Richards, T. Clausen, S. Ramundo, E. G. Karagoz, Y. Dagdas

The paper shows that non-canonical shuffled ATG8 interacting motifs in C53 link UFMylation and autophagy, revealing an ancestral regulatory mechanism for ER homeostasis.

Membrane permeability differentiation at the lipid divide

U. Lapinska, G. Glover, Z. Kahveci, N. Irwin, D. Milner, M. Tourte, S.-V. Albers, A. E. S. Santoro, T. A. Richards, S. Pagliara

This study compares membrane permeability between archaeal and bacterial lipids using vesicles and finds that archaeal diether lipids are more permeable than bacterial diester lipids.

Emergent RNA-RNA interactions can promote stability in a nascent phototrophic endosymbiosis

B. H. Jenkins, F. Maguire, G. Leonard, J. D. Eaton, S. West, B. E. Housden, D. S. Milner, T. A. Richards

The paper demonstrates that RNA-RNA interactions mediated by host RNAi can impose a cost on host growth when endosymbionts are digested, promoting stability in a nascent eukaryote-eukaryote endosymbiosis.
