Here, with EGFR as an example, we directly and in detail visualized the entire process of EGFR from synthesis to secretion onto the plasma membrane (PM) using a high-speed, high-resolution spinning-disk confocal microscope. First, colocalization imaging revealed that EGFR secretory vesicles underwent transport from the ER to the Golgi to the PM, eventually forming different distribution forms on the apical and basal membranes; that is, most EGFR formed larger clusters on the apical membrane than the basal membrane. A dynamic tracking image and further siRNA interference experiment confirmed that fusion of secretory vesicles with the plasma membrane led to EGFR clusters, and we showed that EGFR PM clustering may be intimately related to EGFR signaling and cell proliferation. Finally, we found that the size and origin of the secretory vesicles themselves may determine the difference in the distribution patterns of EGFR on the PM. More importantly, we showed that actin influenced the EGFR distribution by controlling the fusion of secretory vesicles with the PM.

Functional potentials of the microbiomes from one site were further examined by shotgun metagenomic sequencing after soil suppressiveness was confirmed by greenhouse experiments. Potential key antagonists involved in disease suppression were also isolated, and their activities were validated by a combination of microcosm and pot experiments. We found that potentially suppressive soils shared a common core community with relatively low levels of <i>F. oxysporum</i> and relatively high proportions of Myxococcales, Pseudomonadales, and Xanthomonadales, with five genera, <i>Anaeromyxobacter</i>, <i>Kofleria</i>, <i>Plesiocystis</i>, <i>Pseudomonas</i>, and <i>Rhodanobacter</i> being significantly enriched. Further, <i>Pseudomonas</i> was identified as a potential key taxon linked to pathogen suppression. Metagenomic analysis showed that, compared to the conducive soil, the microbiome in the disease suppressive soil displayed a significantly greater incidence of genes related to quorum sensing, biofilm formation, and synthesis of antimicrobial compounds potentially active against Foc4. We also recovered a higher frequency of antagonistic <i>Pseudomonas</i> isolates from disease suppressive experimental field sites, and their protective effects against banana <i>Fusarium</i> wilt disease were demonstrated under greenhouse conditions. Despite differences in location and soil conditions, separately located suppressive soils shared common characteristics, including enrichment of Myxococcales, Pseudomonadales, and Xanthomonadales, and enrichment of specific <i>Pseudomonas</i> populations with antagonistic activity against the pathogen. Moreover, changes in functional capacity toward an increase in quorum sensing, biofilm formation, and antimicrobial compound synthesizing involve in disease suppression.</p>","PeriodicalId":520765,"journal":{"name":"Research (Washington, D.C.)","volume":" ","pages":"9818073"},"PeriodicalIF":11.0,"publicationDate":"2022-09-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9513836/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"33491611","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
