patA expression is induced 3 to 6 h after nitrogen step-down. We establish that the transcription of patA is under the positive control of NtcA. The patA promoter region shows two conserved NtcA-binding boxes. These NtcA-binding sites and their interaction with NtcA are key elements for patA expression in heterocysts.

Immune Modulatory Profile of the Pateamines PatA and Des-Methyl Des-Amino PatA.

Pateamines act as inhibitors of the RNA helicase eIF4A and exhibit antiviral and anticancer properties. Recently, we observed that inhibition of eIF4A by rocaglates affects the immune response. To investigate whether the observed immunomodulatory effects are specific to rocaglates or the inhibition of eIF4A, a comprehensive study was conducted on the influence of pateamines that exhibit the same inhibitory mode of action as rocaglates on various immune cells.

Small-molecule compounds that elicit mRNA-selective translation repression have attracted interest due to their potential for expansion of druggable space. However, only a limited number of examples have been reported to date. Here, we show that desmethyl desamino pateamine A (DMDA-PatA) represses translation in an mRNA-selective manner by clamping eIF4A, a DEAD-box RNA-binding protein, onto GNG motifs.

The explicit identification of CD8 T cell subpopulation is important for deciphering the role of CD8 T cells for protecting our body against invading pathogens and cancer. Our generated monoclonal antibody (mAb), named FE-1H10, recognized two novel subpopulations of peripheral blood CD8 T cells, FE-1H10 and FE-1H10 CD8 T cells. The molecule recognized by mAb FE-1H10 (FE-1H10 molecules) had a higher distribution on effector memory CD8 T cell subsets.

- The study aimed to create a new prognostic model to estimate the risk of pulmonary complications after elective surgery, which is the leading cause of post-surgery death.
- Data from a large international cohort of over 86,000 patients was used, applying machine learning techniques to identify risk factors for complications like pneumonia and respiratory distress.
- The model, named the GSU-Pulmonary Score, was validated with additional cohorts and is available as an online tool to assist in patient care and resource management, especially important during pandemic recovery.
