Translesion synthesis (TLS) is an event to cope with DNA damages. During TLS, the responsible TLS polymerase frequently elicits untargeted mutagenesis as potentially a source of genetic diversity. Identifying such untargeted mutations is challenging due to the bulk of DNA that does not undergo TLS. Here, we present a protocol to enrich a plasmid pool that underwent Pol V-mediated TLS in for mass sequencing. The concept of this protocol could be applied into any species. For complete details on the use and execution of this protocol, please refer to Isogawa et al. (2018).

Ectoine is a valuable compatible solute with extensive applications in bioengineering, cosmetics, medicine, and the food industry. While certain halophilic bacteria can naturally produce ectoine, as a model organism for biomanufacturing, offers significant advantages to be engineered for potentially high-level ectoine production. However, complex metabolic flux distributions and byproduct formation present bottlenecks that limit ectoine production in .

Ehrlichia chaffeensis is an obligatory intracellular bacterium that infects monocytes and macrophages and causes human monocytic ehrlichiosis. Ehrlichia translocated factor-3 (Etf-3) is a type IV secretion system effector that binds host-cell ferritin light chain and induces ferritinophagy, thus increasing cellular labile iron pool for Ehrlichia proliferation. To further characterize roles of Etf-3 in Ehrlichia infection, we produced immune libraries of Etf-3-specific nanobodies (Nbs).

Article Synopsis
- Skeletal muscle relies on mitochondria for energy and metabolic flexibility, with mitochondrial quality control processes, including the integrated stress response (ISR), playing a crucial role in managing cellular stress.
- In a study using mice, researchers stimulated muscle contractions and found that ISR was activated after exercise, shown by increased levels of specific proteins and genes associated with stress response, like ATF4 and CHOP.
- The increase in ATF4 mRNA stability after exercise was linked to the RNA binding protein HuR, suggesting that acute exercise can induce mitochondrial stress and potentially lead to adaptations in muscle over time.

Transfer ribonucleic acids (tRNAs) are essential for protein synthesis, decoding mRNA sequences into amino acids. In E. coli K-12 MG1655, 86 tRNA genes are organized in 43 transcription units (TUs) and the essentiality of individual tRNA TUs in bacterial physiology remains unclear.
