The external surface of some viruses that infect fungi have unanticipated enzyme activity. This is the conclusion of a study published in the journal PLoS Pathogens that analyzes the capsid structure of double-stranded RNA fungal viruses. Evolving to acquire these new functions would have allowed the viruses to establish a symbiotic relationship with their hosts

Plants use an alternative, previously unknown route to produce jasmonate. This hormone is of great importance in defence against pathogens and in stress situations. Unravelling the details of phytohormone production mechanisms can help to obtain more efficient, resistant crops

A study by scientists at the Centro Nacional de Biotecnología of the CSIC (CNB-CSIC) describes a new division system in Salmonella. This pathogenic bacterium uses this mechanism when it finds an acidic environment within the cell it has infected. The existence of this second division system, an alternative to that which was previously considered unique, offers possibilities for the development of antibiotics to fight intracellular infections.
Más de 600 invitados de todas las edades han participado presencialmente en las celebraciones del vigesimoquinto cumpleaños del Centro Nacional de Biotecnología del CSIC. A ellos se suman más de 6000 visitantes virtuales que, a través del nuevo blog de divulgación, el boletín de noticias y diez nuevos audiovisuales, han participado este año de la ciencia y las celebraciones del centro. Todas las actividades quedan enmarcadas por una exposición que recoge la historia del CNB-CSIC en los últimos 25 años.

The structure of encapsulins –semiorganelles found in some species of bacteria– has been deciphered using electron cryomicroscopy techniques. In vitro and in vivo experiments show that these semiorganelles are very stable and functional. Encapsulins could be useful for biotechnological applications such as biosensors or as vehicles for controlled drug release.
On 20 December 2017, the Centro Nacional de Biotecnología of the CSIC (CNB-CSIC) will hold the 25th edition of the traditional conference Advances in Molecular Biology by Young Researchers Abroad.
During the whole day, we will host short talks by young postdoctoral scientist working abroad. Attendance is free and open to everybody.
