The biosynthesis of the antifungal pimaricin in Streptomyces natalensis is very sensitive to phosphate regulation. Concentrations of inorganic phosphate above 1mM drastically reduced pimaricin production. At 10mM phosphate, expression of all the pimaricin biosynthesis (pim) genes including the pathway-specific positive regulator pimR is fully repressed. The phoU-phoR-phoP cluster of S. natalensis encoding two-component Pho system was cloned and sequenced. Binding of the response regulator PhoP to the consensus PHO boxes in the phoU-phoRP intergenic promoter region was observed. A phoP-disrupted mutant and a phoR-phoP deletion mutant were obtained. Production of pimaricin in these two mutants increased up to 80% in complex yeast extract-malt extract (YEME) or NBG media and showed reduced sensitivity to phosphate control. Four of the pim genes, pimS1, pimS4, pimC and pimG showed increased expression in the phoP-disrupted mutant. However, no consensus PHO boxes were found in the promoter regions of any of the pim genes, suggesting that phosphate control of these genes is mediated indirectly by PhoR-PhoP involving modification of pathway-specific regulators.

Background: Abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is a serious life-threatening vascular disease, and its ferroptosis/cuproptosis markers have not yet been characterized. This study was aiming to identify markers associated with ferroptosis/cuproptosis in AAA by bioinformatics analysis combined with machine learning models and to perform experimental validation.
Methods: This study used three scRNA-seq datasets from different mouse models and a human PBMC bulk RNA-seq dataset.

Objective: This study aimed to explore the correlation of PIM-1 with the clinicopathological features and prognosis of patients.
Method: The MTERF3 mRNA and protein expression levels in tissues were detected by western blot and immunohistochemistry. The expression and survival of PIM-1 in patients with glioma were analysed using the Gene Expression Profiling Interactive Analysis database, the Gene Expression Database of Normal and Tumor Tissues 2, and the Chinese Glioma Genome Atlas database.

The Pim family consists of three members that encode a distinct class of highly conserved serine/threonine kinases. In this study, we generated and examined mice with hematopoiesis-specific deletion of Pim1 and bone marrow (BM) chimeric mice with B-cell-specific targeted deletion of Pim1. Pim1 was expressed at all stages of B-cell development and hematopoietic-specific deletion of Pim1 altered B-cell development in BM, spleen and peritoneal.

The PIM kinase family, consisting of PIM1, PIM2, and PIM3, is a group of serine/threonine protein kinases crucial for cellular growth, immunoregulation, and oncogenesis. PIM1 kinase is often overexpressed in solid and hematopoietic malignancies, promoting cell survival, proliferation, migration, and senescence by activating key genes. In vitro and in vivo studies have established the oncogenic potential of PIM1 kinases.

Cancer, a multifactorial pathological condition, is primarily caused due to mutations in multiple genes. Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a form of primary liver cancer that is often diagnosed at the advanced stage. Current treatment strategies for advanced HCC involve systemic therapies which are often hindered due to the emergence of resistance and toxicity.
