Transcript analysis of some defense genes of tomato in response to host and non-host bacterial pathogens
The transcript levels of six defense genes including pathogenesis-related gene 1 (PR-1), pathogenesis-related gene 2 (PR-2), pathogenesis-related gene 5 (PR-5), lipoxygenase (LOX), phenylalanine ammonia-lyase (PAL) and catalase (CAT) were investigated in tomato plants inoculated with Xanthomonas axonopodis pv. phaseoli as a non-host pathogen and X. euvesicatoria as a host pathogen. Activation o...
متن کاملPhagosome Neutrality in Host Defense
Activation of proteases in the phagosomes of neutrophils occurs by neutralization of the phagosomal pH by NADPH oxidase. In this issue, Savina et al. (2006) show that dendritic cell phagosomes also recruit NADPH oxidase but with different results. Here, the neutralization of phagosomal pH reduces protease activity, which preserves antigens for crosspresentation on class I MHC molecules.
متن کاملThe Inflammasome in Host Defense
Nod-like receptors have emerged as an important family of sensors in host defense. These receptors are expressed in macrophages, dendritic cells and monocytes and play an important role in microbial immunity. Some Nod-like receptors form the inflammasome, a protein complex that activates caspase-1 in response to several stimuli. Caspase-1 activation leads to processing and secretion of pro-infl...
متن کاملAntifungal Host Defense Peptides
Fungi infect billions of people every year, yet their contribution to the global burden of disease is largely unrecognized and the repertoire of antifungal agents is rather limited. Thus, treatment of life-threatening invasive fungal infections is still based on drugs discovered several decades ago. In addition, recent data on resistance emergence of fungi emphasize the urgent need for novel an...
متن کاملPulmonary host defense mechanisms.
T he major function of the respiratory system is to procure oxygen from the external environment and to eliminate carbon dioxide from the body at rates required by tissue metabolism. Unfortunately, ambient inspired air contains not only oxygen which is vital to survival, but also noxious gases and a multitude of particulates, including viable microorganisms, which the lungs must exclude to main...
