As far as we know, there is no report of fungicide-resistant Plasmopara viticola in Japan. In the present study, we detected a single point mutation in the PvCesA3 of P. viticola sampled from a Japanese vineyard, which conferred resistance to mandipropamid. The emergence of the mandipropamid-resistant PvCesA3 allele may lead to the spread of mandipropamid-resistant P. viticola in vineyards all over Japan in the near future.

The use of the carboxylic acid amide (CAA) fungicide mandipropamid to manage grapevine downy mildew in vineyards in Japan has been increasing since 2010, because of widespread quinone outside inhibitor fungicide resistance in the Plasmopara viticola population. However, CAA fungicide resistance in P. viticola is becoming a serious problem worldwide. In 2013, we monitored for the presence of a single point mutation at codon 1105 of the cellulose synthase gene PvCesA3, which confers resistance to mandipropamid in P. viticola samples collected from four vineyards in Yamanashi prefecture in Japan. Five out of 157 samples were found to be heterozygotes, carrying both the mutated and nonmutated PvCesA3 alleles. Although CAA fungicide-resistant P. viticola isolates have not been reported yet in Japan, the emergence of heterozygous P. viticola populations indicates the potential risk of emergence of resistant homozygotes.

By utilizing laboratory-guided evolution, we have converted the fluorescent proton-pumping rhodopsin GR from Gloeobacter violaceus into GR1, a red-shifted, turn-on fluorescent sensor for chloride.

AbstractMitochondrial complex I is central to the pathological reactive oxygen species (ROS) production that underlies cardiac ischemia–reperfusion (IR) injury. ND6-P25L mice are homoplasmic for a disease-causing mtDNA point mutation encoding the P25L substitution in the ND6 subunit of complex I. The cryo-EM structure of ND6-P25L complex I revealed subtle structural changes that facilitate rapid conversion to the “deactive” state, usually formed only after prolonged inactivity. Despite its tendency to adopt the “deactive” state, the mutant complex is fully active for NADH oxidation, but cannot generate ROS by reverse electron transfer (RET). ND6-P25L mitochondria function normally, except for their lack of RET ROS production, and ND6-P25L mice are protected against cardiac IR injury in vivo. Thus, this single point mutation in complex I, which does not affect oxidative phosphorylation but renders the complex unable to catalyse RET, demonstrates the pathological role of ROS production by RET during IR injury.
