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 ...

RNA‐centric world of retroviruses: unravelling the molecular strategies of genomic RNA packaging

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Retroviruses constitute a unique group of RNA viruses that have profoundly influenced both evolutionary trajectories and biomedical research. Their ability to reverse transcribe and integrate into host genomes has shaped genomic architecture across species and contributed to our understanding of oncogenes, gene regulation, and RNA biology ...

A novel ilarvirus protein CP-RT is expressed via stop codon readthrough and suppresses RDR6-dependent RNA silencing.

PLoS Pathogens
Ilarviruses are a relatively understudied but important group of plant RNA viruses that includes a number of crop pathogens. Their genomes comprise three RNA segments encoding two replicase subunits, movement protein, coat protein (CP), and (in some ...

Cytoskeleton–Membrane Uncoupling in Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy: Implications for Newborn Screening and Early Protection

Cytoskeleton, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The cytoskeleton of striated muscle integrates force transmission, mechanotransduction, and sarcolemmal stability through coordinated networks of sarcomeres, costameres, and intermediate filaments. Together, these systems establish mechanical continuity between the contractile apparatus, the sarcolemma, and the extracellular matrix.

Influence of the combination of last sense codon and stop codon on expression efficiency of green fluorescent protein gene in

, 2018
In this paper, the influence of the combination of last sense codon and stop codon on expression efficiency was studied. By our study, for the last sense codon CCG, the RFI of GFP(CCG) was 2.1 fold when the stop codon was UAA, but in comparison, the RFI ...

Differential sensitivity to SHH signaling and neural crest‐mediated Gas1 expression regulate jaw size during development and evolution

Developmental Dynamics, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Developmental control of jaw size is crucial to prevent birth defects and facilitate evolutionary adaptation. We have shown that jaw size is established by neural crest mesenchyme (NCM), which are progenitor cells that migrate into the mandibular primordia and produce the jaws.

MIT/TFE family transcription factors, Mitf and Tfec, redundantly promote pigment cell differentiation and retinal epithelium pigmentation in teleosts

Developmental Dynamics, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Transcription factors of the MIT/TFE family—mitfa, mitfb, and tfec—play essential roles in specifying pigment cells derived from neural crest cells in vertebrates. In teleosts, which possess multiple pigment cell types, these factors exhibit partially redundant but largely distinct functions across different pigment lineages.

Engineering mRNA‐LNP Medicines for the Ageing Brain: Opportunities and Challenges for Neurodegenerative Diseases

Exploration, EarlyView.
This review highlights recent advances in engineering messenger RNA (mRNA)‐lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) to cross the ageing blood–brain barrier and target neurodegenerative diseases. It outlines design principles, delivery routes, and translational challenges, charting a roadmap towards clinical application of mRNA‐LNP therapeutics for neurodegenerative ...

A PD‐L1 Nanobody‐Engineered Synthetic RNA Virus Enhances Hepatocellular Carcinoma Immunotherapy by Interfering PCSK9 and Upregulating MHC‐I

Exploration, EarlyView.
A PD‐L1 nanobody‐engineered synthetic RNA virus (αPDL1‐VLPs/shPCSK9) is fabricated to inhibit PCSK9 and upregulate MHC‐I to facilitate T cells recognition of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Moreover, αPDL1‐VLPs/shPCSK9 can recognize PD‐L1 and block the PD‐1/PD‐L1 pathway to prevent immune evasion, while promoting M2‐to‐M1 macrophages polarization ...

Infection mechanisms of Rhizoctonia cerealis in wheat

iMeta, EarlyView.
We discover that R. cerealis (Rc) is a primary pathogen causing sharp eyespot of wheat after 335 distinct isolates were isolated from 1683 SE‐diseased wheat plants across China over 7 years using a single hyphal tip isolation method. We then generated high‐quality reference genomes via de novo sequencing of five representative Rc isolates and ...
