The advancement of metabolic engineering and synthetic biology has promoted in-depth research on the nonmodel microbial metabolism, and the potential of nonmodel organisms in industrial biotechnology is becoming increasingly evident. The nonmodel organism is a safe plant growth promoting bacterium for the production of phenazine compounds; however, its application is seriously hindered due to the lack of an effective gene expression precise regulation toolkit. In this study, we constructed a library of 108 promoter-5'-UTR (PUTR) and characterized them through fluorescent protein detection.

Background/aims: Accumulating evidence strongly suggests that microRNAs (miRNAs) modulate the expression of known tumor suppressor genes and oncogenes. In the present study, we found that the proliferation and invasion ability of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) cells were significantly suppressed by the overexpression of miR-23b-3p. In addition, there are miR-23b-3p binding sites in annexin A2 (ANXA2).
