Contrasting Roles of Plant GATA21/22 Transcriptional Regulators in Defense Against Fungal and Bacterial Pathogens by Nikhilesh Dhar, Amy Anchieta, Isaac Arnold, Renée L. Eriksen, Krishna V. Subbarao, Ramesh Raina, Steven J. Klosterman

“…These results suggest that GATA21 and GATA22 regulate growth and reproduction in Arabidopsis both during normal growth and in response to infection by pathogens. Because the GATA family is conserved, our findings have broad implications for the role of GATA transcription regulators in integrating signals from biotic interactions with those for growth and development. …”

Genomic evidence for the evolution of Streptococcus equi: host restriction, increased virulence, and genetic exchange with human pathogens. by Matthew T G Holden, Zoe Heather, Romain Paillot, Karen F Steward, Katy Webb, Fern Ainslie, Thibaud Jourdan, Nathalie C Bason, Nancy E Holroyd, Karen Mungall, Michael A Quail, Mandy Sanders, Mark Simmonds, David Willey, Karen Brooks, David M Aanensen, Brian G Spratt, Keith A Jolley, Martin C J Maiden, Michael Kehoe, Neil Chanter, Stephen D Bentley, Carl Robinson, Duncan J Maskell, Julian Parkhill, Andrew S Waller

“…We sequenced and compared the genomes of S. equi 4047 and S. zooepidemicus H70 and screened S. equi and S. zooepidemicus strains from around the world to uncover evidence of the genetic events that have shaped the evolution of the S. equi genome and led to its emergence as a host-restricted pathogen. Our analysis provides evidence of functional loss due to mutation and deletion, coupled with pathogenic specialization through the acquisition of bacteriophage encoding a phospholipase A(2) toxin, and four superantigens, and an integrative conjugative element carrying a novel iron acquisition system with similarity to the high pathogenicity island of Yersinia pestis. …”
