is a crucial food-grade cell factory for secreting valuable peptides and proteins primarily via the Sec-dependent pathway. YidC, a membrane insertase, facilitates protein insertion into the lipid membrane for the translocation. However, the mechanistic details of how YidC affects protein secretion in remain elusive. This study investigates the effects of deleting / on phenotypes and protein secretion. Compared to the original strain, deleting significantly decreased the relative biomass, electroporation efficiency, and F-ATP activity by 25%, 47%, and 33%, respectively, and weakened growth and stress resistance, whereas deleting had a minimal impact. The absence of either or reduced target proteins secretion. Meanwhile, there is a considerable alteration in the transcription levels of genes involved in the secretion pathway, with transcription increasing over 135-fold. Our results provide a theoretical foundation for further improving target protein secretion and investigating the YidC function.

Objectives: Complement factor I (CFI) deficiency is a rare condition that can present with fulminant relapsing CNS autoinflammation. In this report, we highlight the utility of genetic testing in unexplained CNS autoinflammation.
Methods: This case report describes a young adult with partial CFI deficiency, presenting with acute hemorrhagic leukoencephalitis and longitudinally extensive transverse myelitis.

The hallmarks of mechanosensitive ion channels have been observed for half a century in various cell lines, although their mechanisms and molecular identities remained unknown until recently. Identification of the bona fide mammalian mechanosensory Piezo channels resulted in an explosion of research exploring the translation of mechanical cues into biochemical signals and dynamic cell morphology responses. One of the Piezo isoforms - Piezo1 - is integral in the erythrocyte (red blood cell; RBC) membrane.

Rising atmospheric CO exposes plants to high-CO environments, while excessive nitrogen fertilizer use degrades soil, highlighting the need to reduce nitrogen input and cultivate vigorous cucumber seedlings under HC-LN conditions. Calcineurin B-like proteins (CBLs) sense calcium signals and regulate carbon/nitrogen metabolism via CBL-interacting protein kinases (CIPKs), though their roles in cucumber under HC-LN conditions are unclear. Here, we identified seven and 19 genes.
