The TRP1 gene encoding N-(5'-phosphoribosyl)-anthranilate isomerase was isolated from the yeast Yarrowia lipolytica, in which only a few genetic marker genes are available. The Y. lipolytica TRP1 gene (YlTRP1) cloned by complementation of Y. lipolytica trp1 mutation was found to be a functional homologue of Saccharomyces cerevisiae TRP1. Since YlTRP1 could be used for counterselection in medium containing 5-fluoroanthranilic acid (5-FAA), we constructed TRP blasters that contained YlTRP1 flanked by a direct repeat of a sequence and allowed the recycling of the YlTRP1 marker. Using the TRP blasters the sequential disruption of target genes could be carried out within the same strain of Y. lipolytica. The nucleotide sequence of the YlTRP1 gene has been deposited at GenBank under Accession No. AF420590.

, a salt-tolerant plant, has demonstrated antioxidant effects, the ability to prevent prostate enlargement, antifungal properties, and skin moisturizing benefits. This study aimed to explore the anti-melanogenic potential of the 70% ethanol extract of (TME) along with its ethyl acetate (TME-EA) and water (TME-A) fractions. TME (10-200 µg/mL), TME-EA (1-15 µg/mL), and TME-A (100-1000 µg/mL) were prepared and applied to B16F10 cells with or without α-MSH for 72 h.

Scar-less genome editing in budding yeast with elimination of the selection marker has many advantages. Some markers such as URA3 and TRP1 can be recycled through counterselection. This permits seamless genome modification with pop-in/pop-out (PIPO), in which a DNA construct first integrates in the genome and, subsequently, homologous regions recombine and excise undesired sequences.

Prolonged and unprotected exposure to the environment explicitly influences the development of hyperpigmented lesions. The enzyme tyrosinase (TYR) is a key target for regulating melanin synthesis. Several bioactive compounds derived from plant extracts have been found to possess potent anti-melanogenesis properties against TYR.

We previously showed therapeutic advantages of using a capsid-modified and encoded antigen-optimized AAV-based cancer vaccine to initiate strong antigen-specific immune responses and increase survival in a syngeneic mouse model of melanoma. In this study, we further explore AAV vaccine dose reduction and possible mechanisms of the immune response. Immunization with extracellular vesicle (EV)-associated AAV6-S663V encoded ovalbumin (OVA) or tyrosinase-related protein 1 (TRP-1) induced significantly higher levels of antigen-specific CD8 T cells compared with standard AAV in mice.
