Studying the effects of terahertz (THz) radiation on the proteome of temperature-sensitive organisms is limited by a number of significant technical difficulties, one of which is maintaining an optimal temperature range to avoid thermal shock as much as possible. In the case of extremophilic species with an increased temperature tolerance, it is easier to isolate the effects of THz radiation directly. We studied the proteomic response to terahertz radiation of the thermophilic , persisting under wide temperature fluctuations with a 60 °C optimum.

Neutral protease pAsPs gene was obtained by sequence optimization of NpI protease from pAsPs was for the first time integrated in the genome of yeast strain T07, and then produced in a 5 L bioreactor with an enzyme yield of 150,800 U/mL of culture liquid towards casein. The specific activity of the pAsPs was 7,657,000 U/mg toward casein, 2320 U/mg toward hemoglobin, and 25,344 U/mg toward azocasein per 1 mg of the protein. The enzyme was found to be inhibited by Cu.

A fluorescent biosensor /pTdcR-TurboYFP sensitive to terahertz (THz) radiation was developed via transformation of () cells with plasmid, in which the promotor of the gene controls the expression of yellow fluorescent protein TurboYFP. The biosensor was exposed to THz radiation in various vessels and nutrient media. The threshold and dynamics of fluorescence were found to depend on irradiation conditions.

Article Synopsis
  • - Three new fluorescent biosensors were created by inserting plasmids into cells, which regulated the expression of fluorescent proteins using specific gene promoters.
  • - These biosensors were tested with two types of THz radiation: a powerful short-wave laser and a weaker continuous-wave device, showing that fluorescence levels varied based on the type and duration of radiation exposure.
  • - The study found that stress from heat or chemicals prevented fluorescence, indicating these biosensors could be useful for examining how THz radiation affects gene networks associated with the targeted gene promoters.

Aim: Detection of contemporary features of tularemia focimanifestations, determination of territories of high epidemic risk in various landscape zones and creation of a map of foci territories of Moscow Region for isolation of tularemia infectious agent cultures and registered human morbidity for justified planning of prophylaxis measures.

Materials And Methods: Report materials of epizootologic examinations of natural foci for 1965-2013, 156 maps of epidemiologic examination of cases of human infection with tularemia, results of studies of casting of predatory birds and dung of predatory mammals were used. Registered morbidity and isolation of tularemia infectious agent cultures from 1965 to date were applied to an electronic map of Moscow Region by sign method using modern.

Oxidation of tin(IV) o-amidophenolate complexes [Sn(ap)Ph(2)] (1) and [Sn(ap)Et(2)(thf)] (2) (ap=dianion of 4,6-di-tert-butyl-N-(2,6-diisopropylphenyl)-o-iminobenzoquinone (ImQ)) with molecular oxygen and sulfur in toluene solutions was investigated. The reaction of oxygen with 1 at room temperature forms a paramagnetic derivative [Sn(isq)(2)Ph(2)] (3) (isq=radical anion of ImQ) and diphenyltin(IV) oxide [{Ph(2)SnO}(n)]. Interaction of 1 with sulfur gives another monophenyl-substituted paramagnetic tin(IV) complex, [Sn(ap)(isq)Ph] (4), and the sulfide, [Ph(3)Sn](2)S.
