Mycobacteriophage SWU1 is a newly isolated phage from soil sample collected in Sichuan province, China using Mycobacterium smegmatis mc(2)155 as host. Plaque, phage morphology and one-step growth curve were characterized. The complete genomic sequence of phage SWU1 was determined by shotgun sequencing. The ends of SWU1 were determined. Structural proteins of SWU1 were analyzed by NanoLC-ESI-MS/MS. Seven ORFs were identified as structural protein encoded by SWU1 genome. The genetic basis underlying the SWU1 plaque was explored using comparative genomics. Prophages homologous to SWU1 were identified in two pathogens, Segniliparus rugosus ATCC BAA-974 and Mycobacterium rhodesiae JS60. Genus Segniliparus is a member of the order Corynebacteriales. To our knowledge, this is the first report of Mycobacterium prophages in different genera.

Baculoviruses, the largest studied insect viruses, are highly pathogenic to host insects. nucleopolyhedrovirus (BmNPV) is the main cause of nuclear polyhedrosis of silkworm, a viral disease that causes significant economic losses to the sericulture industry. The anti-BmNPV mechanism of the silkworm has not yet been characterized.

Background: Bombyx mori nuclear polyhedrosis virus (BmNPV), as a typical baculovirus, is the primary pathogen that infects the silkworm B. mori, a lepidopteran species. Owing to the high biological safety of BmNPV in infecting insects, it is commonly utilized as a biological insecticide for pest control.

( is the pathogen of human tuberculosis (TB). Resistance to numerous stresses, including oxidative stress, is determinant for intracellular survival, and understanding associated mechanisms is crucial for developing new therapeutic strategies. Rv2617c has been associated with oxidative stress response when interacting with other proteins in ; however, its functional promiscuity and underlying molecular mechanisms remain elusive.

Although porphyrins make up a promising class of electrochemiluminescence (ECL) luminophors, their aggregation-caused quenching (ACQ) characteristics lead to inferior ECL efficiency (Φ). Furthermore, current application of porphyrins is limited to cathodic emission. This work creatively exploited a cage-like porous complex (referred to as SWU-1) as the microreactor to recede the ACQ effect while modulating dual ECL emission of meso-tetra(4-carboxyphenyl)porphine (TCPP), which self-assembled with SWU-1 to form TCPP@SWU-1 nanocapsules (TCPP@SWU-1 NCs).

Juvenile hormone (JH) plays a crucial endocrine regulatory role in insect metamorphosis, reproduction, and longevity in multiple organisms, such as flies, honeybees, and migratory monarch butterflies. However, the molecular mechanism of JH affecting longevity remains largely unknown. In this study, we showed that JH III and its analog methoprene shortened the survival days significantly in the adulthood of male silkworm.
