Objective: In order to study the role of SS2 Type IV Secretion System VirD4 in evasion of the host innate immune killing, we constructed a knockout mutant AVirD4. Then we studied its biological activity and virulence.
Methods: The two VirD4 flanking DNA sequences were amplified using genome of 05ZYH33 as template. We also amplified the Cm sequence of shuttle vector pSET1, and through overlap extension PCR we connected the three fragments together. Using suicide vector pSET4s, we constructed the recombinant gene knockout vector pSET4s::VirD4. The mutant AVirD4 was successfully constructed by allelic replacement. Virulence of mutant strain was compared with wild type strain 05ZYH33 through in vitro bactericidal assays, competitive infection and challenge experiment of CD1 mice.
Results: Mutant strain AVirD4 was constructed successfully, its virulence attenuated compared to the wild type strain.
Conclusion: These findings indicated that Type IV Secretion System component VirD4 contributed to the virulence of S. suis with important functions in evading innate immunocyte killing.

Background: The triglyceride glucose-body mass index (TyG-BMI) is considered to be a reliable surrogate marker of insulin resistance (IR). However, limited evidence exists regarding its association with the severity of coronary artery disease (CAD), particularly in hypertensive patients with different glucose metabolic states, including those with H-type hypertension. This study aimed to investigate the relationship between TyG-BMI and CAD severity across different glucose metabolism conditions.

Aquaporins are widely present in the plant kingdom and play important roles in plant response to abiotic adversity stresses such as water and temperature extremes. In this study, we investigated the regulatory role of NTPIP2;4 on drought tolerance in tobacco at physiological and transcriptional levels. In this experiment, we constructed an NtPIP2;4 overexpression vector and genetically transformed tobacco variety 'K326' to investigate the mechanism of NtPIP2;4 gene in regulating drought tolerance in tobacco at physiological and transcriptomic levels.
