Cadmium blocks viral invasion in plants ppE167 - E168

John P. Carr & Alex M. Murphy

doi:10.1038/ncb0702-e167

To move between different parts of their hosts, most plant viruses exploit the phloem. Plants exposed to subtoxic levels of cadmium ions can resist this viral highjacking of their transportation network. New work in this issue of Nature Cell Biology has identified a novel, chemically induced, glycine-rich protein that is responsible for inhibiting the long-distance movement of turnip vein clearing tobamovirus (TVCV) in tobacco plants.

May the force be with you: Myosin-X in phagocytosis ppE169 - E171

Engulfment of pathogens by phagocytosis requires the coordination of actin assembly and progressive 'zippering' of pseudopodial membranes around the particle. Recent work shows that Myosin-X, which binds phosphatidylinositol-3-OH kinase (PI(3)K) products through its pleckstrin homology (PH) domains, is required for phagocytosis, thereby providing a molecular basis for the function of PI(3)K in pseudopod extension.
