With the expansion of the culture scale of red swamp crayfish (Procambarus clarkii), the high incidence of diseases has seriously threatened the development of its industry. In this study, PcToll3 and PcToll4 were respectively cloned and explored SNPs among the germplasm populations, which had been identified relating to disease resistance in crayfish based on our previous study. A total of 3036 bp and 2820 bp of the open reading frame of PcToll3 and PcToll4 encoded 1011 and 939 amino acids, respectively.

2-Deoxy-β-glycosides are essential components of natural products and pharmaceuticals; however, the corresponding 2-deoxy-β-glycosidic bonds are challenging to chemically construct. Herein, we describe an efficient catalytic protocol for synthesizing 2-deoxy-β-glycosides via either IPrAuNTf-catalyzed activation of a unique 1,2--positioned C2--propargyl xanthate (OSPX) leaving group or (PhO)PAuNTf-catalyzed activation of a 1,2--C2--alkynylbenzoate (OABz) substituent of the corresponding thioglycosides. These activation processes trigger 1,2-alkyl/arylthio-migration glycosylation, enabling the synthesis of structurally diverse 2-deoxy-β-glycosides under mild reaction conditions.

Application of herbicide-degrading bacteria is an effective strategy to remove herbicide in soil. However, the ability of bacteria to degrade a herbicide is often severely limited in the presence of other pesticide. In this study, the atrazine-degrading strain Klebsiella varicola FH-1 and acetochlor-degrading strain Bacillus Aryabhatti LY-4 were used as parent strains to construct the recombinant RH-92 strain through protoplast fusion technology.

GlcNAc-1,6-anhydro-MurNAc is a key peptidoglycan elongation terminator of biological and medicinal importance. Herein, we present a concise approach to this molecule in 12 steps with an overall 25% yield using d-glucosamine as the sole starting material. Our synthesis features the formation of a 1,6-anhydro-MurNAc building block by an intramolecular glycosylation and the selective conversion of the phthalimido group of the MurNPhth moiety, paving the way for antibiotics with a new killing mechanism by targeting bacterial transglycosylase.

Article Synopsis
  • The study focuses on the mitochondrial genome of a trematode parasite from wood frogs, marking the first complete sequencing for the family Pleurogenidae, which is significant due to high infection rates in these frogs and their ecological importance.* -
  • The mitochondrial genome is circular and comprises 15,043 base pairs with 36 genes, including 12 protein-coding genes, and shows a strong bias towards adenine and thymine (63.75% A+T content).* -
  • Phylogenetic analysis indicates that this trematode is more closely related to Prosthogonimidae than to Eucotylidae, providing valuable genetic data for future research on Xiphidiata trematodes.*

All-inorganic CsPbI films necessitate higher annealing temperatures for high-quality crystallization. Consequently, the conventional low-temperature solution approach often results in poor crystallization in flexible CsPbI films, significantly degrading the optoelectronic performance and stability of flexible perovskite solar cells (f-PSCs). Herein, a heterogeneous CaF nanocrystal seed-induced strategy has been successfully utilized to achieve enhanced crystallization of a flexible CsPbIBr film.

Major symbiotic organisms have evolved to establish beneficial relationships with hosts. However, understanding the interactions between symbionts and insect hosts, particularly for their roles in defense against pathogens, is still limited. In a previous study, we proposed that the fungus Metarhizium anisopliae can infect the brown planthopper Nilaparvata lugens, a harmful pest for rice crops.

Targeted delivery systems combined with the stimuli-responsive release of drug molecules hold noteworthy promise for precision medicine, enabling treatments with enhanced effectiveness and reduced adverse effects. An ideal drug delivery platform with versatile targeting moieties, the capability of combinational payloads, and simple preparation is highly desirable. Herein, we developed pH-sensitive fluorescent self-assembled complexes (SACs) of a galactose-functionalized G-quadruplex (G4) and a coumarin carboxamidine derivative as a targeted delivery platform through the nanoprecipitation method.

The capsular polysaccharide (CPS) is a major virulence factor of the pathogenic and a promising target for vaccine development. However, the synthesis of the 1,2--2-amino-2-deoxyglycoside core of CPS remains challenging to date. Here we develop a highly α-selective ZnI-mediated 1,2- 2-azido-2-deoxy chemical glycosylation strategy using 2-azido-2-deoxy glucosyl donors equipped with various 4,6--tethered groups.

Purpose: To compare axial growth in pediatric cataract patients who underwent multifocal intraocular lens (IOL) implantation without anterior vitrectomy (AV) with that in pediatric patients who underwent monofocal IOL implantation with or without AV.

Methods: Patients who had unilateral pediatric cataracts and underwent surgery at 3-6 years of age from June 6, 2019, to June 30, 2020, at our institution were prospectively analyzed. The patients were categorized into Group A: multifocal IOL implantation with optic capture in Berger's space without AV; Group B: monofocal IOL implantation with optic capture in Berger's space without AV; and Group C: bag-in-the-lens monofocal IOL implantation with AV.

Background: Arterial remodeling is a common pathophysiological change in the pathogenesis of cardiovascular diseases in which the phenotypic switch of vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMC) plays an important role. Recently, an increasing number of long non-coding RNAs(lncRNAs) have been shown to encode micropeptides that play biological roles and have great clinical transformation potential. However, the role of micropeptides encoded by lncRNAs in arterial remodeling has not been well studied and requires further exploration.
