Enhanced mitochondrial activity reshapes a gut microbiota profile that delays NASH progression

Hepatology, EarlyView., 2022
Improved mitochondrial activity, due to the lack of methylation‐controlled J protein (MCJ), creates a specific microbiota signature that when transferred through cecal microbiota transplantation delays NASH progression by restoring the gut‐liver axis and enhancing hepatic fatty acid oxidation.

Distinct Phage‐Encoded Enzymes for Substitution of Deoxythymidine by Deoxyuridine in Phage Genomes

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Distinct enzymes including dCTP deaminases (Dcds), dTMP phosphatases (Dtms), and dTTP pyrophosphatases (Dtt) are found to be responsible for dU‐DNA biosynthesis in the phages PBS1, DSS3_VP1, and PhiR1‐37. Both PhiR1‐37‐derived and synthetic dU‐DNA are resistant to cleavage by restriction enzymes and Cas12a nuclease targeting dT‐containing sites.

The unseen world: environmental microbial sequencing and identification methods for ecologists [PDF]

, 2014
Archaea, bacteria, microeukaryotes, and the viruses that infect them (collectively “microorganisms”) are foundational components of all ecosystems, inhabiting almost every imaginable environment and comprising the majority of the planet’s organismal and ...

Coupling Nitrogenous Organic Wastewater Treatment and Biorefinery via N‐Cycling Bacterium

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
The vast reservoir of nitrogenous organic pollutants in industrial wastewaters can serve as untapped carbon‐nitrogen resources. This study employs the newly discovered Paracoccus sp. ZQW‐1 as a versatile chassis to simultaneously achieve N‐methylpyrrolidone (NMP) wastewater depuration and polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB) synthesis.

Trigonelline Improves Metabolism and Cardiac Function of HFpEF Mice Via Gut Microbiome Alterations‐Mediated AMPK Activation

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Metabolomics analyses reveal that trigonelline is markedly reduced in HFpEF hearts. Trigonelline supplementation alleviates metabolic disorders and improves cardiac function in HFpEF mice via gut microbiota‐mediated AMPK activation. Abstract Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) is a prevalent end‐manifestation of cardiovascular ...

Genomically Informed Surveillance for Carbapenem-Resistant Enterobacteriaceae in a Health Care System

mBio, 2015
Carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae (CRE) are an urgent public health concern. Rapid identification of the resistance genes, their mobilization capacity, and strains carrying them is essential to direct hospital resources to prevent spread and ...

Synovial Fluid‐derived Micrococcus Luteus G18 Exacerbates Osteoarthritis Progression by Promoting Chondrocyte Degradation via TLR2/JNK/AP‐1 Signaling Pathway

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Traditionally considered sterile, the articular cavity is now recognized to harbor microbial communities influencing osteoarthritis (OA). Integrating 16S rRNA sequencing and culturomics, Micrococcus luteus is enriched in advanced OA. Notably, M. luteus G18 exacerbates cartilage degeneration via TLR2/JNK/AP‐1‐mediated ECM disruption, revealing intra ...

Three‐Segment Protein Labeling Using a Highly Efficient and Cysteine‐Less Split Intein Identified with Computational Prediction of Aggregation Properties

Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
Tandem protein trans‐splicing (PTS) assembles a protein from three segments. Expanding this technology to individually treat cysteines in each segment, for example, for chemical labeling using thiol bioconjugation, the authors identify a second, highly efficient cysteine‐less split intein.
