Zarate-Potes A, Schulenburg H, Dierking K
Trends Immunol . 2024 Nov; 45(12):939-942. PMID: 39550315
Effector-triggered immunity (ETI) enables hosts to react to pathogens by monitoring few key cellular processes. ETI responses are assumed to be similar toward related pathogen effectors. However, recent evidence from...

Zarate-Potes A, Ali I, Ribeiro Camacho M, Brownless H, Benedetto A
Front Microbiol . 2022 May; 13:853629. PMID: 35620104
Controlling nematode-caused diseases that affect cattle and crops world-wide remains a critical economic issue, owing to the lack of effective sustainable interventions. The interdependence of roundworms and their environmental microbes,...

Ali I, Martin J, Zarate-Potes A, Benedetto A
J Vis Exp . 2022 May; (182). PMID: 35575511
With its small size, short lifespan, and easy genetics, Caenorhabditis elegans offers a convenient platform to study the impact of microbial isolates on host physiology. It also fluoresces in blue...

Zarate-Potes A, Dierking K
Immunity . 2021 Jul; 54(7):1366-1368. PMID: 34260882
Cells can detect pathogens through guard proteins that sense disturbances in core cellular processes, but the exact mechanisms often remain elusive. In this issue of Immunity, Orzalli et al. identify...

Zarate-Potes A, Yang W, Andresen B, Nakad R, Haase D, Rosenstiel P, et al.
Dev Comp Immunol . 2021 May; 123:104144. PMID: 34051205
microRNAs (miRNAs) are small non-coding RNA-molecules that influence translation by binding to the target gene mRNA. Many miRNAs are found in nested arrangements within larger protein-coding host genes. miRNAs and...

Pees B, Yang W, Kloock A, Petersen C, Peters L, Fan L, et al.
PLoS Pathog . 2021 Apr; 17(4):e1009454. PMID: 33793670
In C. elegans, 283 clec genes encode a highly diverse family of C-type lectin-like domain (CTLD) proteins. Since vertebrate CTLD proteins have characterized functions in defense responses against pathogens and...

Zarate-Potes A, Yang W, Pees B, Schalkowski R, Segler P, Andresen B, et al.
PLoS Pathog . 2020 Sep; 16(9):e1008826. PMID: 32970778
The nematode Caenorhabditis elegans has been extensively used as a model for the study of innate immune responses against bacterial pathogens. While it is well established that the worm mounts...

Zarate-Potes A, Ocampo I, Cadavid L
Gene . 2018 Nov; 684:104-117. PMID: 30393111
Immune recognition of molecular patterns from microorganisms or self-altered cells activate effector responses that neutralize and eliminate these potentially harmful agents. In virtually every metazoan group the process is carried...

Pees B, Yang W, Zarate-Potes A, Schulenburg H, Dierking K
J Innate Immun . 2015 Nov; 8(2):129-42. PMID: 26580547
A key question in current immunity research is how the innate immune system can generate high levels of specificity. Evidence is accumulating that invertebrates, which exclusively rely on innate defense...

Ocampo I, Zarate-Potes A, Pizarro V, Rojas C, Vera N, Cadavid L
Immunogenetics . 2015 Jul; 67(9):515-30. PMID: 26123975
The viability of coral reefs worldwide has been seriously compromised in the last few decades due in part to the emergence of coral diseases of infectious nature. Despite important efforts...
