Tightly controlled duplication of centrosomes, the major microtubule-organizing centers of animal cells, ensures bipolarity of the mitotic spindle and accurate chromosome segregation. The RBCC (RING-B-box-coiled coil) ubiquitin ligase TRIM37, whose loss is associated with elevated chromosome missegregation and the tumor-prone developmental human disorder Mulibrey nanism, prevents the formation of ectopic spindle poles that assemble around structured condensates containing the centrosomal protein centrobin. Here, we show that TRIM37's TRAF domain, unique in the extended TRIM family, engages peptide motifs in centrobin to suppress condensate formation.

Many common bean ( L.) plants cultivated in areas of the world with acidic soils exhibit difficulties adapting to low phosphorus (P) availability, along with aluminum (Al) toxicity, causing yield loss. The objective of this study was to evaluate the influence of an increase in P supply level on the agronomic, phenological, and physiological performance of two common bean breeding lines grown in acidic soil, with low fertility and under high temperature conditions, in a screenhouse.

Disease stress caused by plant pathogens impacts the functioning of the photosynthetic apparatus, and the symptoms caused by the degree of severity of the disease can generally be observed in different plant parts. The accurate assessment of plant symptoms can be used as a proxy indicator for managing disease incidence, estimating yield loss, and developing genotypes with disease resistance. The objective of this work was to determine the response of the photosynthetic apparatus to the increased disease severity caused by web blight (Frank) Donk on the common bean ( L.

Mycobacteria, like other microorganisms, survive under different environmental variations by expressing an efficient adaptive response, oriented by regulatory elements, such as transcriptional repressors of the TetR family. These repressors in mycobacteria also appear to be related to cholesterol metabolism. In this study, we have evaluated the effect of a fatty acid (oleic-palmitic-stearic)/cholesterol mixture on some phenotypic and genotypic characteristics of a tetR-mutant strain ( mutated gene) of BCG, a homologous of of .

Background: Studies of the respiratory tract microbiome primarily focus on airway and lung microbial diversity, but it is still unclear how these microbial communities may be affected by intubation and long periods in intensive care units (ICU), an aspect that today could aid in the understanding of COVID19 progression and disease severity. This study aimed to explore and characterize the endotracheal tube (ETT) microbiome by analyzing ETT-associated microbial communities.

Methods: This descriptive study was carried out on adult patients subjected to invasive mechanical ventilation from 2 to 21 days.
