A simple and effective method to remove pigments from heterologous secretory proteins expressed in Pichia pastoris.

Adv Biotechnol (Singap)

February 2024

CAS Center for Excellence in Molecular Cell Science, Shanghai Institute of Biochemistry and Cell Biology, University of Chinese Academy of Sciences, Chinese Academy of Sciences, 320 Yueyang Road, Shanghai, 200030, China.

Pichia pastoris is a popular yeast host for high-level heterologous expression of proteins on an industrial scale owing to its reliable expression, robust growth, high fermentation density, and easy genetic manipulation and cultivation at a relatively low cost. Of particular interest is its high secretion efficiency for small proteins including insulin, human serum albumin, vaccines, enzymes, and llama-derived heavy-chain only antibodies (nanobodies) for pharmaceutical and research applications. However, a recurring challenge in using P.

Modulating the fatty acid composition of black soldier fly larvae via substrate fermentation.

Animal

January 2025

CLMT Research Group for Insect Production and Processing, Department of Microbial and Molecular Systems (M(2)S), KU Leuven, Geel Campus, Kleinhoefstraat 4, 2440 Geel, Belgium. Electronic address:

Black soldier fly larvae (BSFL, Hermetia illucens) contain high amounts of proteins and essential amino acids and are therefore an appropriate feed source. However, they lack essential fatty acids (FAs), specifically ω-3 and ω-6, making them a less desirable feed choice for aquaculture. The aim of this study was to increase the ω-3 and ω-6 FA concentrations in BSFL by manipulating the FA composition in their rearing substrate.

RH2Fusion: A universal tool for precise DNA fragment assembly.

Electronic address:

Despite its limitations, restriction enzyme (RE)-mediated cleavage remains the prevalent method for generating sticky ends in DNA assembly. Here, we present RNase HII Fusion (RH2Fusion), a robust system for user-defined sticky ends, enabling scarless assembly of multiple DNA fragments alongside simultaneous site-directed mutagenesis (SDM) at multiple sites. In bacterial cells, DNA fragments with ribonucleotide modifications are expected to form complementary 3' overhangs after RNase HII treatment, followed by annealing and recombination via the bacterial self-repair system.

The impact of delivery technique on Woven EndoBridge deployment and detachment in an aneurysm model.

Interv Neuroradiol

August 2024

Department of Neurological Surgery and Montefiore-Einstein Cerebrovascular Research Lab, Montefiore Medical Center, Albert Einstein College of Medicine, Bronx, NY, USA.

Background: The Woven EndoBridge (WEB) device is increasingly used for treatment of wide-neck bifurcation aneurysms. With the newer 17 system, WEB deployment has been associated with a phenomenon known as incomplete or "sticky" detachment from the delivery wire, which may lead to imprecise placement. Optimal techniques for WEB manipulation and delivery to avoid this problem are poorly defined.

Mucilage is a gelatinous and sticky hydrophilic polysaccharide released from epidermal cells of seed coat after the hydration of mature seeds and is composed primarily of unbranched rhamnogalacturonan I (RG-I). In this study, we produced a recombinant endo-RG-I hydrolase from Aspergillus aculeatus (AaRhgA) in the fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe and examined its substrate preference for pyridylaminated (PA) RG-I with the various degrees of polymerization (DP). Recombinant AaRhgA requires PA-RG-I with a DP of 10 or higher for its hydrolase activity.
