Background: The gradual extrusion of water-soluble intracellular components (such as proteins) from microalgae after pulsed electric field (PEF) treatment is a well-documented phenomenon. This could be utilized in biorefinery applications with lipid extraction taking place after such an 'incubation' period, i.e.

New insights into the regulation of cyp3a65 expression in transgenic tg(cyp3a65:GFP) zebrafish embryos.

Facing the need for alternative models allowing assessment of metabolic-endocrine disrupting chemicals (MDCs), especially in poorly investigated tissues such as the intestine, we recently developed a transgenic zebrafish embryo in vivo model, tg(cyp3a65:GFP), expressing the Green Fluorescent Protein (GFP) under the control of the zebrafish cyp3a65 promoter, ortholog of human cyp3a4, a gene coding for a key enzyme of intestinal xenobiotic and endobiotic metabolism. In this study, we aimed to better understand the regulation of cyp3a65 expression by zfPXR, zfAhR2, and zfGR zebrafish orthologs of well-known human xenosensors PXR and AhR, and steroid nuclear receptor GR. For this purpose, we performed zebrafish embryo tg(cyp3a65:GFP) (co)exposures to a variety of agonists (clotrimazole, TCDD, fluticasone propionate) and antagonists (econazole nitrate, CH223181, RU486), which were characterized using in vitro zebrafish reporter gene assays.

J-Lat cells are derivatives of the Jurkat CD4 T cell line that contain a non-infectious, inducible HIV provirus with a GFP tag. While these cells have substantially advanced our understanding of HIV latency, their use by many laboratories in low and middle-income countries is restricted by limited access to flow cytometry. To overcome this barrier, we describe a modified J-Lat assay using a standard microplate reader that detects HIV-GFP expression following treatment with latency-reversing agents (LRAs).

Development of translationally active cell lysates from different filamentous fungi for application in cell-free protein synthesis.

Enzyme Microb Technol

January 2025

Institute of Biotechnology, Brandenburg University of Technology Cottbus-Senftenberg, Universitätsplatz 1, Senftenberg 01968, Germany. Electronic address:

There is an enormous potential for cell-free protein synthesis (CFPS) systems based on filamentous fungi in view of their simple, fast and mostly inexpensive cultivation with high biomass space-time yields and in view of their catalytic capacity. In 12 of the 22 different filamentous fungi examined, in vitro translation of at least one of the two reporter proteins GFP and firefly luciferase was detected. The lysates showing translation of a reporter protein usually were able to synthesize a functional cell-free expressed unspecific peroxygenase (UPO) from the basidiomycete Cyclocybe (Agrocybe) aegerita.

Background: Christianson syndrome (CS) is an x-linked recessive neurodevelopmental and neurodegenerative condition characterized by severe intellectual disability, cerebellar degeneration, ataxia, and epilepsy. Mutations to the gene encoding NHE6 are responsible for CS, and we recently demonstrated that a mutation to the rat gene causes a similar phenotype in the spontaneous rat model, which exhibits cerebellar degeneration with motor dysfunction. In previous work, we used the PhP.
