Bacterial two-component system (TCS) is composed of the sensor kinase (SK) and the response regulator (RR). After monitoring an environmental signal or condition, SK activates RR through phosphorylation, ultimately leading to the signal-dependent regulation of genome transcription. In Escherichia coli, a total of more than 30 SK-RR pairs exist, each forming a cognate signal transduction system. Cross talk of the signal transduction takes place at three stages: signal recognition by SK (stage 1); RR phosphorylation by SK (stage 2); and target recognition by RR (stage 3). Previously, we analyzed the stage 2 cross talk between the whole set of E. coli SK-RR pairs and found that the cross talk takes place for certain combinations. As an initial attempt to identify the stage 3 cross talk at the step of target promoter recognition by RR, we analyzed in this study the cross-recognition of target promoters by six NarL-family RRs, EvgA, NarL, NarP, RcsB, UhpA, and UvrY. Results of both in vivo and in vitro studies indicated that the stage 3 cross talk takes place for limited combinations, in particular, including a multifactor-regulated ydeP promoter.

Divergent transcriptional states and kinetics of circulating tumor-infiltrating lymphocyte repertoires with highly homologous T-cell receptor sequences in a patient during immunotherapy.

Evidence has shown that T-cell receptors (TCRs) that recognize the same epitopes may not be the exact TCR clonotypes but have slightly different TCR sequences. However, the changes in the genomic and transcriptomic signatures of these highly homologous T cells during immunotherapy remain unknown. Here, we examined the evolutionary features in circulating TCR clonotypes observed in tumors (tumor-infiltrating lymphocyte (TIL)-TCRs) by combining single-cell RNA/TCR sequencing of longitudinal blood samples and TCR sequencing of tumor tissue from a patient treated with anti-cytotoxic T-lymphocyte-associated protein 4/programmed cell death protein-1 therapy.

Previous investigations have shown pitch-based correspondences with various perceptual and conceptual attributes. The present study reveals two novel pitch-based correspondences with highly abstract concepts. Three experiments with varying levels of implicitness of the association task showed that the concepts of future and in are associated with high-pitch sounds, while past and out are associated with low-pitch sounds.

Purpose: The parents of children who are deaf or hard-of-hearing may require a spoken language interpreter to access early-intervention services. This research sought to describe speech-language pathologists' perspectives regarding collaboration with interpreters in this space.
Method: Twenty-seven speech-language pathologists working in Australia completed a cross-sectional mixed-method online survey.

Tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) are one of the most abundant cell types in the colorectal cancer (CRC) tumor microenvironment (TME). CRC cell-derived exosomes support macrophage polarization toward an M2-like phenotype, which leads to tumor growth and metastasis. Neuroligin 1 (NLG1) is a transmembrane protein critical in synaptic function.

It is becoming increasingly clear that microRNAs are key players in gene regulatory networks, modulating gene expression at post-transcriptional level. Their involvement in almost all cellular processes predicts their role in diseases, and several microRNA-based therapeutics are currently undergoing clinical testing. Despite their undeniable relevance and the substantial body of literature demonstrating their role in cancer and other pathologies, the identification of functional interactions is still challenging.
