Article Abstract
NAD (Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide) biosynthesis is vital for bacterial physiology and plays an important role in cellular metabolism. A naturally occurring vitamin B complex, niacin (nicotinic acid), is a precursor of coenzymes NAD and NADP. Here, we study the impact of niacin on global gene expression of D39 and elucidate the role of NiaR as a transcriptional regulator of , and . Transcriptome comparison of the D39 wild-type grown in chemically defined medium (CDM) with 0 to 10 mM niacin revealed elevated expression of various genes, including , and that are putatively involved in the transport and utilization of niacin. Niacin-dependent expression of these genes is confirmed by promoter fusion studies. Moreover, the role of transcriptional regulator NiaR in the regulation of these genes is explored by DNA microarray analysis. Our transcriptomic comparison of D39 Δ to D39 wild-type revealed that the transcriptional regulator NiaR acts as a transcriptional repressor of , and . NiaR-dependent regulation of , and is further confirmed by promoter fusion studies. The putative operator site of NiaR (5'-TACWRGTGTMTWKACASYTRWAW-3') in the promoter regions of , and is predicted and further confirmed by promoter mutational experiments.

Importance: Research in behavioral economics has demonstrated that people have irrational biases, which make them susceptible to decisional shortcuts, or heuristics. The extent to which physicians consciously might use nudges to exploit these heuristics and thereby influence their patients' decision-making is unclear. In addition, ethical questions about the conscious use of nudges in medicine persist, yet little is known about how physicians experience and perceive their use.

Transcription initiation factor TFIID subunit 1 (TAF1) is a pivotal component of the TFIID complex, critical for RNA polymerase II-mediated transcription initiation. However, the molecular basis by which TAF1 recognizes and associates with chromatin remains incompletely understood. Here, we report that the tandem bromodomain module of TAF1 engages nucleosomal DNA through a distinct positively charged surface patch on the first bromodomain (BD1).

Background: The roles of long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) in the progression of various human tumors have been extensively studied. However, their specific mechanisms and therapeutic potential in Triple-Negative Breast Cancer (TNBC) remain to be fully elucidated.
Materials And Methods: The qRT-PCR assay was utilized to assess the relative mRNA levels of TFAP2A-AS1, PHGDH, and miR-6892.
