Unlabelled: Despite recent advances, the regulation of anticancer and antimicrobial bioactive compound (AABC) production by leukocytes remains poorly understood. Here, we demonstrate that inactivation of the DNA- and RNA-based Teazeled receptors of the Universal Receptive System in human leukocytes generated so called "Leukocyte-Tells," which showed enhanced AABC production. Comprehensive analysis of the AABCs produced by Leukocyte-Tells based on LC/MS identified 707 unique or differentially produced peptide or non-peptide metabolites.

This system is composed of DNA- and RNA-based Teazeled receptors (TezRs) found on the surface of prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells, as well as integrases and recombinases. In the current study, we aimed to provide further insight into the regulatory role of TezR and its loss in Staphylococcus aureus gene transcription.

However, the regulation of this process, particularly in young biofilms, remains unclear. Here, we demonstrated the critical role of extracellular RNA as part of the Universal Receptive System in bacterial directional migration using a multidisciplinary approach, including bacterial culture, biochemistry, and genetics.

Available fungicides have substantial disadvantages, such as being insufficiently effective owing to intrinsic tolerance and the spread of antifungal resistance accumulating in plant tissues, posing a global threat to public health. Therefore, finding a new broad-spectrum fungicide is a challenge to protect plants.
