A Genome-Wide Screen Identifies Genes Required for Centromeric Cohesion

TL;DR: The screen described here provides a comprehensive analysis of the genes required for the meiotic cell cycle and identifies three factors important for the stepwise loss of sister chromatid cohesion.
Journal ArticleDOI

Structure-function analysis of the tobacco mosaic virus resistance gene N.

TL;DR: It is shown that amino acids conserved among the Toll/IL-1R/plant R gene TIR domain and NBS-containing proteins play a critical role in N-mediated TMV resistance, and many amino acid substitutions in the TIR, NBS, and LRR domains of N lead to a partial loss-of-function phenotype.
Journal ArticleDOI

Complement receptor 1 is the host erythrocyte receptor for Plasmodium falciparum PfRh4 invasion ligand

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that CR1 is an erythrocyte receptor used by the parasite ligand PfRh4 for P. falciparum invasion, and that Parasite invasion via sialic acid–independent pathways is reduced in low-CR1 ERYthrocytes due to limited availability of this receptor on the surface.
