Consensus Recommendations for Optimizing Electronic Health Records for Nutrition Care.

Provision of nutrition care is vital to the health and well-being of any patient who enters the health care system, whether in the ambulatory, inpatient, or long-term care setting. Interdisciplinary professionals-nurses, physicians, advanced practice providers, pharmacists, and dietitians-identify and treat nutrition problems or clinical conditions in each of these health care settings. The documentation of nutrition care in a structured format from screening and assessment to discharge allows communication of the nutrition treatment plans.

Total Synthesis of Conulothiazole A.

An efficient total synthesis of the chlorinated thiazole-containing natural product conulothiazole A is reported. Key features of this synthesis include a novel rhodium-catalyzed enantioselective hydrogenation of a 2-enamido-thiazole and a vinylic Finkelstein reaction that could be implemented at all stages of the synthesis to install the chlorinated alkene.

A Call to Action for Optimizing the Electronic Health Record in the Parenteral Nutrition Workflow: Executive Summary.

Parenteral nutrition (PN) is a complex therapeutic modality provided to neonates, children, and adults for various indications. Surveys have shown that current electronic health record (EHR) systems are in need of functionality enhancement for safe and optimal delivery of PN. This is a consensus statement from the American Society for Parenteral and Enteral Nutrition, the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics, and the American Society of Health-System Pharmacists outlining some of the key challenges to prescribing, order review/verification, compounding, and administration of PN using EHRs today and is a call to action for clinicians and vendors to optimize their EHRs regarding the PN build and workflow.

The polo-like kinase 1 regulates CDC25B-dependent mitosis entry.

Activation of cyclin-dependent kinase complexes (CDK) at key cell cycle transitions is dependent on their dephosphorylation by CDC25 dual-specificity phosphatases (CDC25A, B and C in human). The CDC25B phosphatase plays an essential role in controlling the activity of CDK1-cyclin B complexes at the entry into mitosis and together with polo-like kinase 1 (PLK1) in regulating the resumption of cell cycle progression after DNA damage-dependent checkpoint arrest in G2. In this study, we analysed the regulation of CDC25B-dependent mitosis entry by PLK1.

CDC25B phosphorylated by pEg3 localizes to the centrosome and the spindle poles at mitosis.

The phosphatase CDC25B is one of the key regulators that control entry into mitosis through the dephosphorylation and subsequent activation of the cyclin-dependent kinases. Here we study the phosphorylation of CDC25B at mitosis by the kinase pEg3, a member of the KIN1/PAR-1/MARK family. Using mass spectrometry analysis we demonstrate that CDC25B is phosphorylated in vitro by pEg3 on serine 169, a residue that lies within the B domain.

Phosphorylation of CDC25B by Aurora-A at the centrosome contributes to the G2-M transition.

Aurora-A protein kinase, which is the product of an oncogene, is required for the assembly of a functional mitotic apparatus and the regulation of cell ploidy. Overexpression of Aurora-A in tumour cells has been correlated with cancer susceptibility and poor prognosis. Aurora-A activity is required for the recruitment of CDK1-cyclin B1 to the centrosome prior to its activation and the commitment of the cell to mitosis.

Signal transduction between a membrane-bound transporter, PtsG, and a soluble transcription factor, Mlc, of Escherichia coli.

The global regulator Mlc controls several genes implicated in sugar utilization systems, notably the phosphotransferase system (PTS) genes, ptsG, manXYZ and ptsHI, as well as the malT activator. No specific low molecular weight inducer has been identified that can inactivate Mlc, but its activity appeared to be modulated by transport of glucose via Enzyme IICB(Glc) (PtsG). Here we demonstrate that inactivation of Mlc is achieved by sequestration of Mlc to membranes containing dephosphorylated Enzyme IICB(Glc).

A new essential gene of the 'minimal genome' affecting cell division.

The complete sequencing of bacterial genomes has offered new opportunities for the identification of essential genes involved in the control and progression of the cell cycle. For this purpose, we have disrupted ten E. coli genes belonging to the so-called 'minimal genome'.

Regulation of Escherichia coli cell division genes ftsA and ftsZ by the two-component system rcsC-rcsB.

Genes rcsC and rcsB form a two-component system in which rcsC encodes the sensor element and rcsB the regulator. In Escherichia coli, the system positively regulates the expression of the capsule operon, cps, and of the cell division gene ftsZ. We report the identification of the promoter and of the sequences required for rcsB-dependent stimulation of ftsZ expression.

An Escherichia coli gene (yaeO) suppresses temperature-sensitive mutations in essential genes by modulating Rho-dependent transcription termination.

An extragenic multicopy suppressor of the cell division inhibition caused by a MalE-MinE fusion protein in Escherichia coli has been mapped and identified as yaeO, one of the two short open reading frames (ORFs) of an operon located at 4.6 min. Overexpressed yaeO also suppressed some temperature-sensitive mutations in division genes ftsA and ftsQ, in chaperone gene groEL and in co-chaperone gene grpE.

On the birth and fate of bacterial division sites.

Thanks to genetics, to the study of protein-protein interactions and to direct viewing of subcellular structures by the use of immunofluorescence and green fluorescent protein (GFP) fusions, the organization of the constriction apparatus of walled bacteria is gradually coming to light. The tubulin-like protein FtsZ assembles as a ring around the site of constriction and operates as an organizer and activator of septum-shaping proteins. Much less is known about the factors specifying the location of FtsZ rings.

MinCD-independent inhibition of cell division by a protein that fuses MalE to the topological specificity factor MinE.

We report that MinE, the topological specificity factor of cell division in Escherichia coli, inhibits septation when fused to the C terminus of the maltose-binding protein MalE. This contrasts with overexpression of MinE alone, which affects growth but has no effect on division. Inhibition by MalE-MinE was minCD independent and depended on MinE segments involved in dimerization and prevention of MinCD division inhibition.

Identification of a new inhibitor of essential division gene ftsZ as the kil gene of defective prophage Rac.

A gene function carried by a plasmid, causing arrest of cell division in Escherichia coli, has been identified as the product of a short open reading frame of the prophage Rac, previously designated orfE, expressed only under conditions of prophage induction. Because Rac carries a killing function expressed under conditions of zygotic induction, an orfE-defective Rac+ strain was constructed. This strain had lost the killing function, indicating that orfE is kil.

RNase E processing of essential cell division genes mRNA in Escherichia coli.

The ratio of the FtsZ to FtsA proteins determines the correct initiation of cell division in Escherichia coli. The genes for these proteins are contiguous on the chromosome. Although both genes are transcribed from common promoters, the presence of ftsZ-specific promoters, along with differences in the efficiency of translation of their respective mRNAs, contribute to the increased relative expression of ftsZ.

Deletion analysis of gene minE which encodes the topological specificity factor of cell division in Escherichia coli.

Division inhibition caused by the minCD gene products of Escherichia coli is suppressed specifically at mid-cell by MinE protein expressed at physiological levels. Excess MinE allows division to take place also at the poles, leading to a minicell-forming (Min-) phenotype. In order to investigate the basis of this topological specificity, we have analysed the ability of truncated derivatives of MinE to suppress either minCD-dependent division inhibition in a chromosomal delta(minB) background, or the division inhibition exerted by MinCD at the cell poles in a minB+ strain.

Sigma S-dependent overexpression of ftsZ in an Escherichia coli K-12 rpoB mutant that is resistant to the division inhibitors DicB and DicF RNA.

The Escherichia coli genes dicF and dicB encode division inhibitors, which prevent the synthesis and activity, respectively, of the essential division protein FtsZ. A mutation at the C-terminal end of the RNA polymerase beta subunit renders cells resistant to both inhibitors. In the mutant strain the level of the ftsZ gene product is higher than in the wild type.

The min locus, which confers topological specificity to cell division, is not involved in its coupling with nucleoid separation.

In Escherichia coli, nucleoid separation and cell constriction remain tightly linked when division is retarded by altering the level of synthesis of the protein FtsZ. In this study, we have examined the role of the min locus, which is responsible for the inactivation of polar division sites, in the partition-septation coupling mechanism. We conclude that the coupling persists in a delta min strain and that its timing relative to replication remains dependent on the level of FtsZ synthesis.
