AI Article Synopsis
- Conjugation is a process where one bacterium transfers DNA to another through direct cell contact using structures called conjugative pili.
- This gene transfer is facilitated by specific DNA elements such as plasmids or transposons.
- The text focuses specifically on how plasmid conjugation occurs in bacteria.
Article Abstract
Conjugation is a gene transfer process in which a recipient bacterium receives DNA from a donor bacterium by cell-to-cell contact through conjugative pili. Conjugation is mediated by certain plasmids or transposons. Here, we describe plasmid conjugation.

Generation of high avidity T cell receptors (TCRs) reactive to tumor-associated antigens (TAA) is impaired by tolerance mechanisms, which is an obstacle to effective T cell therapies for cancer treatment. NY-ESO-1, a human cancer-testis antigen, represents an attractive target for such therapies due to its broad expression in different cancer types and the restricted expression in normal tissues. Utilizing transgenic mice with a diverse human TCR repertoire, we isolated effective TCRs against NY-ESO-1 restricted to HLA-A*02:01.

Transfer RNA-derived small RNAs, a recently identified class of small noncoding RNAs, play a crucial role in regulating gene expression and are implicated in cerebrovascular diseases. However, the specific biological roles and mechanisms of transfer RNA-derived small RNAs in intracranial aneurysms (IAs) remain unclear. In this study, we identified that the transfer RNA-Asp-GTC derived fragment (tRF-AspGTC) is highly expressed in the IA tissues of both humans and mice.

Rourke 2002 is an evergreen herbaceous flower with high ornamental value. In this study, we sequenced the complete chloroplast (cp) genome of and reported it for the first time. The cp genome was 158,914 base pairs (bp) in total length, including two inverted repeats (IRs, 27,052 bp), separated by a large single-copy region (LSC, 86,519 bp) and a small single-copy region (SSC, 18,291 bp).

Understanding drought resistance mechanisms is crucial for breeding poplar species suited to arid and semi-arid regions. This study explored the drought responses of three newly developed 'Zhongxiong' series poplars using integrated transcriptomic and physiological analyses. Under drought stress, poplar leaves showed significant changes in differentially expressed genes (DEGs) linked to photosynthesis-related pathways, including photosynthesis-antenna proteins and carbon fixation, indicating impaired photosynthetic function and carbon assimilation.
