Workshop on cellular dynamics of effector action and recognition

COST FA1208 workshop, 9-11 April 2014 at L'école Nationale Supérieure Agronomique de Toulouse (ENSAT), 31320 Auzeville-Tolosane, France. 
   
The first workshop of the action, focussing on cellular dynamics of effector action and recognition was held in Toulouse, France from 9-11 April 2014, uniting 37 participants from 7 different countries. The workshop was organized by the Laboratory of Plant-Microbe Interactions and hosted at the Toulouse agronomy school ENSAT.

About the workshop:

Recent years have shown that the localization of effectors, their target proteins and their immune receptors hold important information for the understanding of their function. Effectors can act in many different cellular compartments to promote disease or act, in certain cases, only on particular cell types. NB-LRR proteins acting as receptors of the plant immune system can undergo complex relocalizations which proved in certain cases crucial for their function. Since this is a fast moving research field, it appeared important to address cellular dynamics of effector action and recognition by a workshop.

 

 

The the following topics were addressed:

1. Which host cells and tissues are subject to effector action?

2. How do effectors enter the host cell (compartments)?

3. Where do effectors localize and act in the host cell?

4. How do effectors affect the localization and cellular dynamics of their host targets? This includes mechanisms related to complex formation/dissociation, (de)stabilizing host targets, post-translational modifications effecting the distribution in the cell

5. Where do immune receptors/R proteins localize and act in the cell and how do effectors manipulate this?
