Metabolic Engineering of Acinetobacter baylyi ADP1 for L-Leucine Production.

Acinetobacter baylyi ADP1 has garnered attention as a promising synthetic biology chassis due to its compact genome, rapid growth, innate competence for horizontal gene transfer, and ease of genetic manipulation. To assess its potential for natural product biosynthesis, we engineered ADP1 for the production of l-leucine. First, feedback inhibition was relieved by overexpressing the endogenous leuA and ilvBN genes, alongside the replacement of transcriptional attenuation regions within the leuBCD operon.

Early-Life Sublethal Exposure to Thiacloprid Alters Adult Honeybee Gut Microbiota.

Thiacloprid, a neonicotinoid pesticide, is known to affect the gut microbiome of honeybees, yet studies often focus on immediate alternations during exposure, overlooking long-term microbiological impacts post-exposure. This study investigates the influences of sublethal thiacloprid administered during the larval developmental stage of honeybees on physiological changes and gut microbiota of adult honeybees. We found that thiacloprid exposure increased mortality and sugar intake in emerged honeybees.

The RNA helicase DHX35 functions as a co-sensor for RIG-I-mediated innate immunity.

RNA helicases are involved in the innate immune response against pathogens, including bacteria and viruses; however, their mechanism in the human airway epithelial cells is still not fully understood. Here, we demonstrated that DEAH (Asp-Glu-Ala-His) box polypeptide 35 (DHX35), a member of the DExD/H (Asp-Glu-x-Asp/His)-box helicase family, boosts antiviral innate immunity in human airway epithelial cells. DHX35 knockdown attenuated the production of interferon-β (IFN-β), IL6, and CXCL10, whereas DHX35 overexpression increased their production.

Isaridin E Protects against Sepsis by Inhibiting Von Willebrand Factor-Induced Endothelial Hyperpermeability and Platelet-Endothelium Interaction.

Endothelial hyperpermeability is pivotal in sepsis-associated multi-organ dysfunction. Increased von Willebrand factor (vWF) plasma levels, stemming from activated platelets and endothelium injury during sepsis, can bind to integrin αvβ3, exacerbating endothelial permeability. Hence, targeting this pathway presents a potential therapeutic avenue for sepsis.

USP36 inhibits apoptosis by deubiquitinating cIAP1 and survivin in colorectal cancer cells.

Chemotherapeutic agents for treating colorectal cancer (CRC) primarily induce apoptosis in tumor cells. The ubiquitin-proteasome system is critical for apoptosis regulation. Deubiquitinating enzymes (DUBs) remove ubiquitin from substrates to reverse ubiquitination.

Discovery of anti-inflammatory agents from 3, 4-dihydronaphthalene-1(2H)-one derivatives by inhibiting NLRP3 inflammasome activation.

NLRP3 inflammatory vesicles are a polymer of cellular innate immunity composed of a pair of proteins.

(2) Methods: To explore this question, honey bee larvae were fed 0, 0.

p21 promotes gemcitabine tolerance in A549 cells by inhibiting DNA damage and altering the cell cycle.

Gemcitabine is one of the most widely used chemotherapy drugs for advanced malignant tumors, including non-small cell lung cancer. However, the clinical efficacy of gemcitabine is limited due to drug resistance. The aim of the present study was to investigate the role of p21 in gemcitabine-resistant A549 (A549/G) lung cancer cells.

Unravelling and engineering an operon involved in the side-chain degradation of sterols in Mycolicibacterium neoaurum for the production of steroid synthons.

Background: Harnessing engineered Mycolicibacteria to convert cheap phytosterols into valuable steroid synthons is a basic way in the industry for the production of steroid hormones. Thus, C-19 and C-22 steroids are the two main types of commercial synthons and the products of C17 side chain degradation of phytosterols. During the conversion process of sterols, C-19 and C-22 steroids are often produced together, although one may be the main product and the other a minor byproduct.

Reciprocal costimulatory molecules control the activation of mucosal type 3 innate lymphoid cells during engagement with B cells.

Innate lymphoid cells (ILCs) are the counterpart of T helper cells in the innate immune system and share multiple phenotypes with T helper cells. Inducible T-cell costimulator (ICOS) is recognized on T cells and participates in T-cell activation and T and B-cell engagement in lymphoid tissues. However, the role of ICOS in ILC3s and ILC3-involved interactions with the immune microenvironment remains unclear.

Chronic larval exposure to thiacloprid impairs honeybee antennal selectivity, learning and memory performances.

The use of agricultural neonicotinoid insecticides has sub-lethal chronic effects on bees that are more prevalent than acute toxicity. Among these insecticides, thiacloprid, a commonly used compound with low toxicity, has attracted significant attention due to its potential impact on the olfactory and learning abilities of honeybees. The effect of sub-lethal larval exposure to thiacloprid on the antennal activity of adult honeybees ( L.

Thiacloprid impairs honeybee worker learning and memory with inducing neuronal apoptosis and downregulating memory-related genes.

Neonicotinoids are among the most widely used insecticides in the world and are recognized as a potential cause of pollinator decline. Previous studies have demonstrated that the neonicotinoid thiacloprid has adverse effects on foraging and memory behaviors. However, there is no direct evidence linking thiacloprid-induced neuronal cell damage in the brains of honeybees to learning and memory dysfunction.
