Metagenomic community composition and resistome analysis in a full-scale cold climate wastewater treatment plant

open access: yesEnvironmental Microbiome, 2022
Background Wastewater treatment plants are an essential part of maintaining the health and safety of the general public. However, they are also an anthropogenic source of antibiotic resistance genes.

The Natural Product Corramycin Acts as a DNA Gyrase Poison and Overcomes Fluoroquinolone Resistance in Mycobacterium tuberculosis

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Corramycin, a myxobacterial natural product antibiotic, exhibits potent bactericidal activity against multidrug‐resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis. The compound hijacks bacterial transporters such as BacA and OppABCD to enter the cell and inhibits DNA synthesis through a previously unrecognized mode of DNA gyrase poisoning, locking the enzyme in an ...

Dual‐line Genome‐scale CRISPR Screening Enables Robust Target Gene Discovery

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
A species‐optimized CRISPR platform integrates efficient piggyBac delivery, genome‐scale sgRNA libraries, and parallel screening in two independently engineered Bactrocera dorsalis Cas9 cell lines. Cross‐line consensus analysis filters line‐specific effects, enriches candidates with reproducible in vivo phenotypes, and reveals conserved, species ...

Description and evolution of a nimB gene-coding, composite mobilizable transposon, MTnBf8, of Bacteroides fragilis

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology
BackgroundIn Bacteroides strains, metronidazole resistance is encoded mainly by the so-called nim genes, which are usually carried on plasmids; however, chromosomal presence is also known (e.g., nimB).

Genomic and Functional Characterization of Vancomycin-Resistant Enterococci-Specific Bacteriophages in the Galleria mellonella Wax Moth Larvae Model

open access: yesPharmaceutics, 2022
Phages are naturally occurring viruses that selectively kill bacterial species without disturbing the individual’s normal flora, averting the collateral damage of antimicrobial usage.

DyProL: Dynamic Ensemble Representation Learning for Protein–Nucleic Acid Binding Site Prediction

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Protein function is represented as a dynamic conformational ensemble rather than a single static structure. A multi‐conformation geometric attention framework aligns, clusters, and learns representative states to capture residue‐ and ensemble‐level signals. Integrating structural dynamics improves interpretable protein‐NA binding prediction and reveals

Multiple choices for HIV therapy with integrase strand transfer inhibitors

open access: yesRetrovirology, 2012
Two integrases inhibitors, raltegravir and elvitegravir, have now been approved by regulatory agencies for use in the treatment of HIV-infected patients; and the approval of a third such drug, dolutegravir, is expected during 2013 on the basis of several

Pharmacogenomics of dolutegravir: A scoping review of evidence, gaps and clinical implications

open access: yesBritish Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Dolutegravir underpins modern first‐ and second‐line HIV treatment regimens; however, interindividual variability in its disposition and tolerability presents challenges for optimal use. This scoping review mapped current evidence on the pharmacogenomics of dolutegravir, focusing on pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics, and methodological limitations ...

Ginger DNA transposons in eukaryotes and their evolutionary relationships with long terminal repeat retrotransposons

open access: yesMobile DNA, 2010
Background In eukaryotes, long terminal repeat (LTR) retrotransposons such as Copia, BEL and Gypsy integrate their DNA copies into the host genome using a particular type of DDE transposase called integrase (INT).

IS21 family transposase cleaved donor complex traps two right-handed superhelical crossings

open access: yesNature Communications, 2023
Transposases are ubiquitous enzymes that catalyze DNA rearrangement events with broad impacts on gene expression, genome evolution, and the spread of drug-resistance in bacteria.
