Paramyxovirus Tianjin strain is a novel strain of virus causing common cotton-eared marmoset fatal infection. To investigate the relationship between the gene structure and function of nucleoprotein (NP) of Tianjin strain, NP gene of paramyxovirus Tianjin strain was cloned and three domains of NP were expressed. The homologous and phylogenetic analysis of NP sequences among the paramyxovirus Tianjin strain and eight strains of Sendai viruses from GenBank were performed. The results indicated the recombinant proteins NP1, NP2 and NP3 showed the native antigenicity to the polyclonal antiserum of paramyxovirus Tianjin strain, ranking as NP3>NP1>NP2 (precedence order). The homology of NP nucleotide and the deduced amino acid sequences between paramyxovirus Tianjin strain and Sendai virus BB1 strain were 94.5%, 96.2%, respectively, whereas the identity were 85.1% - 88.7% and 92.4% - 94.7% among Tianjin strain and the 7 strains of Sendai viruses from GenBank respectively. There were 15 unique amino acid substitutions in Tianjin strain NP protein and 11 common amino acid substitutions same with BB1 strain. This research confirmed that paramyxovirus Tianjin strain might be a new genotype of Sendai virus and can be helpful in the establishment of detection assay applying recombinant NP as antigen instead of the whole virions.

Background: Aspergillus niger is an important industrial filamentous fungus used to produce organic acids and enzymes. A wide dynamic range of promoters, particularly strong promoters, are required for fine-tuning the regulation of gene expression to balance metabolic flux and achieve the high yields of desired products. However, the limited understanding of promoter architectures and activities restricts the efficient transcription regulation of targets in strain engineering in A.

Miltiradiene serves as a pivotal precursor for the synthesis of numerous abietane-type diterpenes with important pharmacological activities. The endogenous mevalonate (MVA) pathway is tightly regulated in Saccharomyces cerevisiae, which limits the availability of precursors for the heterologous production of miltiradiene. In this study, the orthogonal isopentenol utilization pathway (IUP) was constructed and investigated for its adaptability with mitochondria and peroxisomes in S.

A novel 2'-α-fluoro-2'-β--(fluoromethyl) purine nucleoside phosphoramidate prodrug has been designed and synthesized to treat SARS-CoV-2 infection. The SARS-CoV-2 central replication transcription complex (C-RTC, nsp12-nsp7-nsp8) catalyzed in vitro RNA synthesis was effectively inhibited by the corresponding bioactive nucleoside triphosphate (). The cryo-electron microscopy structure of the C-RTC: complex was also determined.
