Advancing Therapies for Mycobacterial Diseases: From Small Molecules to Host‐Directed Strategies

Medicinal Research Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The global burden of multidrug‐resistant tuberculosis (MDR‐TB) and the rising incidence of nontuberculous mycobacterial (NTM) infections highlight the urgent need for innovative therapeutic strategies. Current treatments are prolonged, toxic, and increasingly compromised by resistance and limited diagnostic capacity.

Role of pathogenicity island-associated integrases in the genome plasticity of uropathogenic Escherichia coli strain 536

, 2006
(T)he genome of uropathogenic Escherichia coli isolate 536 contains five well-characterized pathogenicity islands (PAIs) encoding key virulence factors of this strain. Except PAI IV536, the four other PAIs of strain 536 are flanked by direct repeats (DRs)

Filamentous phages of Ralstonia solanacearum: Double-edged swords for pathogenic bacteria

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2013
Some phages from genus Inovirus use host or bacteriophage-encoded site-specific integrases or recimbinases establish a prophage state. During integration or excision, a superinfective form can be produced.

Transposons as Tools for Future Genome Engineering in Yeasts and Filamentous Fungi

Yeast, EarlyView.
Applications of transposon‐based tools for genome engineering in fungi include transposon‐mediated mutagenesis and targeted genomic integration. ABSTRACT Transposons are fundamental genetic elements that have profoundly shaped the architecture of eukaryotic genomes.

Adaptation of the invasive pest Drosophila suzukii to a specialized nutritional niche

Insect Science, EarlyView.
Unlike most Drosophila larvae that feed on spoiled food, Drosophila suzukii larvae thrive on ripening fruits and consequently face a low‐protein, high‐carbohydrate nutritional challenge. Comparisons of growth among D. suzukii, D. biarmipes, and D. melanogaster larvae across diets with varying protein‐to‐carbohydrate ratios demonstrate that D.

TOX4 and NOVA1 proteins are partners of the LEDGF PWWP domain and affect HIV-1 replication.

PLoS ONE, 2013
PWWP domains are involved in the chromatin attachment of several proteins. They bind to both DNA and proteins and their interaction with specific histone methylation marks define them as a new class of histone code readers.

Evolutionary and Epidemiological Characterization of Multidrug‐Resistant Escherichia coli Isolated From Pangolins in China

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Malayan pangolin populations have fallen to a critically endangered level, and illegal trafficking of wild pangolins is a global problem. Little is known about antimicrobial‐resistant bacteria (MDRB) harbored by pangolins, although pangolins are frequently consumed as food or used in traditional medicine. In this study, we report for the first

SIEDY Diagnostic Accuracy in Assessing Erectile Dysfunction in Young Men Living With HIV

Andrology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Erectile dysfunction (ED) is a multidimensional condition commonly affecting men living with HIV. The structured interview of erectile dysfunction (SIEDY) is the only validated tool assessing organic, relational, and psychological factors contributing to ED, while dynamic penile color Doppler ultrasound (dPCDU) is a reliable method ...

Integrase-associated niche differentiation of endogenous large DNA viruses in crustaceans

Microbiology Spectrum
Crustacean genomes harbor sequences originating from nimaviruses, a family of large double-stranded DNA viruses infecting crustaceans. In this study, we recovered metagenome-assembled genomes of 27 endogenous nimaviruses from crustacean genome data ...

The E‐cadherin‐Wnt‐mir‐994 Axis Repurposes a Cadherin Switch for Niche Robustness and Germline Stem Cell Maintenance

Cell Proliferation, EarlyView.
In the Drosophila ovarian niche, an E‐cadherin‐to‐N‐cadherin switch, mediated by Wnt‐mir‐994 signalling, is repurposed to ensure niche resilience. This compensatory mechanism maintains niche integrity and stem cell support upon E‐cadherin loss, revealing a robustness circuit.
