Biofilm‐Binding Phages Enhance Biofilm Eradication by Synergistic Photothermal and Photodynamic Therapy

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Engineered phage‐based trifunctional nanofibers are developed for synergistic biofilm eradication. Biofilm‐binding phages, armed with AuNPs and TCPP, serve as both warheads and scaffolds, endowing the phototherapy agents with biofilm‐anchoring ability. Upon light irradiation, AuNPs induce photothermal therapy, while TCPP generates 1O2 for photodynamic ...

Mechanistic Insights Into the Biosynthesis of Pseurotin A in Aspergillus fumigatus

Small Structures
The biosynthesis of pseurotin A, a fungal metabolite with antibiotic and immunosuppressive properties, involves a group of enzymes, including a polyketide‐nonribosomal peptide synthase (PKS‐NRPS), PsoA, and a bifunctional enzyme, PsoF. PsoA consists of a

Antimicrobial peptides trigger a division block in Escherichia coli through stimulation of a signalling system

Nature Communications, 2016
The PhoQ/PhoP system regulates antimicrobial peptide defense in bacteria. Here the authors show that at sublethal concentrations of antimicrobial peptides, PhoPQ induces QueE, that then localizes to the divisome and blocks cell division independently of ...

Mitochondrial SLC25A46 Rewires Fatty Acid Oxidation to Promote Cell Proliferation and Ferroptosis Evasion in Ovarian Cancer by Stabilizing CACT

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Mitochondrial SLC25A46 is upregulated in ovarian cancer (OC) and correlates with poor prognosis. SLC25A46 stabilizes CACT to activate fatty acid oxidation, increasing ATP and NADPH production to drive cell proliferation and ferroptosis evasion. SLC25A46 silencing sensitizes OC cells to ferroptosis and carboplatin, offering a promising therapeutic ...

A novel two-component signal transduction system in propionibacterium acnes and its association with a putative extracellular signalling peptide [PDF]

, 2011
Propionibacterium acnes, a resident micro-organism of human skin, is thought to be involved in the development of inflammatory acne, which is an exclusive human disease affecting more than 80% of the whole population. Quorum sensing is the regulation of

In silico analysis highlights the frequency and diversity of type 1 lantibiotic gene clusters in genome sequenced bacteria [PDF]

, 2010
peer-reviewedBackground: Lantibiotics are lanthionine-containing, post-translationally modified antimicrobial peptides. These peptides have significant, but largely untapped, potential as preservatives and chemotherapeutic agents. Type 1 lantibiotics are
