We present the cellular transcription‐coupled Flp‐nick system allowing the introduction of a Top1‐mimicking cleavage complex (Flpcc) at a Flp recognition target site within a controllable LacZ gene. LacZ transcription leads to the collision of RNA polymerase II (RNAPII) with Flpcc, and this causes RNAPII stalling, ubiquitination, and degradation.

Radioimmunoassay of T-2 Toxin in Biological Fluids
Abstract A simple radioimmunoassay (RIA) for detection of T-2 toxin in biological fluids was developed. The method, which involves a Sep-Pak C18 reverse phase column cleanup step before RIA, can detect 0.5 ppb T-2 toxin in serum and 2.5 ppb T-2 toxin in urine and milk. Recoveries for toxin added to serum and urine or milk samples were 87-

Decoding the dual role of autophagy in cancer through transcriptional and epigenetic regulation
Transcriptional and epigenetic regulation controls autophagy, which exerts context‐dependent effects on cancer: Autophagy suppresses tumorigenesis by maintaining cellular homeostasis or promotes tumor progression by supporting survival under stress. In this “In a Nutshell” article, we explore the intricate mechanisms of the dual function of autophagy ...

Effect of long term feeding of T-2 and HT-2 toxin contaminated diet on the glutathione redox status and lipid peroxidation processes in common carp (Cyprinus carpio L.) [PDF]
Effect of sublethal T-2 (2.45 mg kg-1 feed) and HT-2 (0.52 mg kg-1 feed) toxin treatment for 4 weeks was investigated in common carp. Two groups, a control and a T-2+HT-2 toxin treated were formed.

Autophagy in cancer and protein conformational disorders
Autophagy plays a crucial role in numerous biological processes, including protein and organelle quality control, development, immunity, and metabolism. Hence, dysregulation or mutations in autophagy‐related genes have been implicated in a wide range of human diseases.

Shiga Toxin Detection Methods : A Short Review [PDF]
The Shiga toxins comprise a family of related protein toxins secreted by certain types of bacteria. Shigella dysenteriae, some strain of Escherichia coli and other bacterias can express toxins which caused serious complication during the infection. Shiga toxin and the closely related Shiga-like toxins represent a group of very similar cytotoxins that ...
