RBMS1 Contributes to Early Arteriovenous Fistula Neointimal Remodeling Through Modulation of VSMC Phenotypic Responses

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Postoperative arteriovenous fistulas exhibit increased RBMS1 in vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs). In experimental AVFs, RBMS1 overexpression aggravates, whereas deletion attenuates, neointimal hyperplasia. RBMS1 binds MPZL1 mRNA and promotes exon 5 skipping to generate MPZL1‐Δ5, which interacts with G3BP1 to activate AKT, driving VSMC proliferation,

Recombinases and their use in gene activation, gene inactivation, and transgenesis

, 2008
The site-specific recombinase FLP is used in Drosophila to precisely manipulate the genome, in particular, to eliminate gene function by mitotic recombination and to activate transgenes in discrete populations of cells.

SOX6 is expressed in various cell lineages in the developing mouse heart and contributes to proper valvuloseptal development

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Cells derived from the endocardium, epicardium, cardiac neural crest, and second heart field play a critical role in the formation of the valvuloseptal structures of the heart. Previous studies have shown that the expression of the transcription factor SOX9 in these cell populations is essential in the regulation of this process.

Histological Characterization and Comparative Transcriptomic Analysis of Gonads During Early Sex Differentiation in the Northern Snakehead (Channa argus)

Animal Research and One Health, EarlyView.
This study delineates the early sex differentiation timeline in the northern snakehead (Channa argus). These findings provide a foundation for future sex‐control breeding in this economically important species. ABSTRACT The northern snakehead (Channa argus) is an economically important aquaculture species in China.

The sRNA vvrr1 Modulates the VarS/VarA‐Csr System via LeuO to Regulate Biofilm Formation and Virulence in Vibrio alginolyticus

Animal Research and One Health, EarlyView.
vvrr1, a small RNA, post‐transcriptionally represses the transcriptional regulator LeuO, which directly inhibits the VarS/VarA two‐component system. This triggers a Csr cascade that relieves LuxO repression, ultimately modulating exopolysaccharide production to control biofilm formation and virulence in Vibrio alginolyticus.

Orthogonal LoxPsym sites allow multiplexed site-specific recombination in prokaryotic and eukaryotic hosts

Nature Communications
Site-specific recombinases such as the Cre-LoxP system are routinely used for genome engineering in both prokaryotes and eukaryotes. Importantly, recombinases complement the CRISPR-Cas toolbox and provide the additional benefit of high-efficiency DNA ...

Autonomous Control of Gene Expression Using Endogenous Transcription Signals

Biotechnology and Bioengineering, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Autonomous cell‐based control of heterologous gene expression can simplify batch‐culture bioprocessing by eliminating external monitoring and extrinsic control of culture conditions. Existing approaches use auto‐induction media, synthetic cell‐cell communication systems, or application‐specific biosensors.

Isolation and Characterization of Random Citrate Synthase Variants That Increase Acetate Generation by Escherichia coli

Biotechnology and Bioengineering, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT A method to select Escherichia coli citrate synthase variants having reduced activity was developed based initially on the increased generation of acid, observed visually by prolonged color change in the pH indicator bromocresol purple. Five hundred fifty‐two potential variants were isolated and each were cultured on glucose as sole carbon ...

Recombinant Monoclonal Antibodies for Detecting the Tubulin Post‐Translational Modifications Glutamylation and Lysine‐40 Acetylation

Cytoskeleton, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Post‐translational modifications (PTMs) to tubulin subunits in microtubule filaments are thought to comprise a component of the tubulin code that specifies microtubule functions in cell physiology and animal development. Acetylation of Lysine‐40 (K40) on α‐tubulin (αTub‐K40ac) and glutamylation of both α‐ and β‐tubulin are two tubulin PTMs of ...

Increased Insulin Action, Glucose Metabolism and Muscle Function in Supervillin‐Knockout and Supervillin‐Mutant Mice

Cytoskeleton, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We here describe mouse models with complementary homozygous Svil mutations. In skeletal muscle, Svil‐Mut mice express the Svil‐encoded N‐terminus fused to the βgal‐neo gene‐trap tag and lack the highly conserved archvillin C‐terminus; Svil‐KO mice lack expression of all known Svil‐encoded proteins; and Svil‐LoxP mice contain loxP sites for ...
