A kiss of death--proteasome-mediated membrane fusion and programmed cell death in plant defense against bacterial infection.
Eukaryotes have evolved various means for controlled and organized cellular destruction, known as programmed cell death (PCD). In plants, PCD is a crucial regulatory mechanism in multiple physiological processes, including terminal differentiation, senescence, and disease resistance. In this issue of Genes & Development, Hatsugai and colleagues (pp. 2496-2506) demonstrate a novel plant defense ...
متن کاملImmunotherapy of chronic hepatitis C virus infection with antibodies against programmed cell death-1 (PD-1).
Hepatitis C virus (HCV) persistence is facilitated by exhaustion of CD8+ T cells that express the inhibitory receptor programmed cell death 1 (PD-1). Blockade of PD-1 signaling improves in vitro proliferation of HCV-specific T lymphocytes, but whether antiviral function can be restored in infected individuals is unknown. To address this question, chimpanzees with persistent HCV infection were t...
متن کاملHydrogen peroxide as a signal controlling plant programmed cell death
Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) has established itself as a key player in stress and programmed cell death responses, but little is known about the signaling pathways leading from H2O2 to programmed cell death in plants. Recently, identification of key regulatory mutants and near-full genome coverage microarray analysis of H2O2-induced cell death have begun to unravel the complexity of the H2O2 networ...
متن کاملLung defence mechanisms against infection.
The respiratory tract must be open to the environment to allow exchange of gas between air and blood. This renders lhe lungs susceptible to colonization and infection by foreign organisms. It is necessary for lhe lower respiratory tract to have mechanisms to contain and control such foreign material. The gas exchange surface of lhe lung must be thin, delicate and permeable, rhus the mechanisms ...
متن کاملApoptosis: programmed cell death.
C urrently there is much interest and excitement in the understanding of how cells undergo the process of apoptosis or programmed cell death. Understanding how, why, and when cells are instructed to die may provide insight into the aging process, autoimmune syndromes, degenerative diseases, and malignant transformation. This review focuses on the development of apoptosis and describes the proce...
