AI Article Synopsis

  • The study investigates how the addition of dithiothreitol (DTT) enhances phenazine production in the beneficial bacterium Pseudomonas chlororaphis GP72AN, which is known for its antifungal properties.
  • Using metabolomic and transcriptomic analyses, researchers found that DTT impacts various metabolic pathways, particularly those involved in central carbon metabolism and phenazine biosynthesis.
  • The findings suggest that manipulating gene expression related to these pathways could lead to more effective strategies for increasing phenazine production in the future.

Article Abstract

Aims: Phenazines, such as phenazine-1-carboxylic acid (PCA), phenazine-1-carboxamide (PCN), 2-hydroxyphenazine-1-carboxylic acid (2-OH-PCA), 2-hydroxyphenazine (2-OH-PHZ), are a class of secondary metabolites secreted by plant-beneficial Pseudomonas. Ps. chlororaphis GP72 utilizes glycerol to synthesize PCA, 2-OH-PCA and 2-OH-PHZ, exhibiting broad-spectrum antifungal activity. Previous studies showed that the addition of dithiothreitol (DTT) could increase the phenazines production in Ps. chlororaphis GP72AN. However, the mechanism of high yield of phenazine by adding DTT is still unclear.

Methods And Results: In this study, untargeted and targeted metabolomic analysis were adopted to determine the content of metabolites. The results showed that the addition of DTT to GP72AN affected the content of metabolites of central carbon metabolism, shikimate pathway and phenazine competitive pathway. Transcriptome analysis was conducted to investigate the changed cellular process, and the result indicated that the addition of DTT affected the expression of genes involved in phenazine biosynthetic cluster and genes involved in phenazine competitive pathway, driving more carbon flux into phenazine biosynthetic pathway. Furthermore, genes involved in antioxidative stress, phosphate transport system and mexGHI-opmD efflux pump were also affected by adding DTT.

Conclusion: This study demonstrated that the addition of DTT altered the expression of genes related to phenazine biosynthesis, resulting in the change of metabolites involved in central carbon metabolism, shikimate pathway and phenazine competitive pathway.

Significance And Impact Of The Study: This work expands the understanding of high yield of phenazine by the addition of DTT and provides several targets for increasing phenazine production.

Cloning, purification and characterization of a novel thermostable recombinant tannase from Galactobacillus timonensis.

Enzyme Microb Technol

December 2024

State Key Laboratory of Food Science and Resources, School of Food Science and Technology, Nanchang University, Nanchang 330047, China.

The exorbitant production costs associated with natural tannases pose a significant challenge to their widespread industrial utilization. Microbial expression systems provide a cost-effective method for enzyme production. In this study, a putative gene encoding the subtype B tannase (Gt-Tan) was cloned from Galactobacillus timonensis and expressed heterologously in Escherichia coli BL21 (DE3) cells.

Longstanding left-to-right shunting associated with congenital heart disease (CHD) can ultimately lead to pulmonary vascular remodeling, pulmonary arterial hypertension, and shunt reversal, the hallmark feature of Eisenmenger Syndrome (ES). ES is a multisystem disease, with hematologic, cardiovascular, renal, neurologic, immune, and other manifestations, each of which inform its management. Many of the most distinct and clinically important consequences relate to chronic hypoxemia.

The differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) into hepatocyte-like cells (HLCs) is considered one of the most promising strategies for alternative hepatocyte transplantation to treat end-stage liver disease. To advance this method, it is crucial to gain a deeper understanding of the mechanisms governing hepatogenic differentiation. The study demonstrated that suppression of the intracellular domain release of the Notch pathway receptor via the γ-secretase inhibitor N-[(3, 5-difluorophenyl)acetyl]-L-alanyl-2-phenylglycine-1, 1-dimethylethyl ester (DAPT) significantly promotes the expression of hepatocyte-related genes and proteins in HLCs.

Background: B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-cell ALL) is the most common childhood cancer. Despite a high overall cure rate, relapsed B-cell ALL remains a leading cause of cancer-related death among children. The addition of the bispecific T-cell engager molecule blinatumomab (an anti-CD19 and anti-CD3 single-chain molecule) to therapy for newly diagnosed standard-risk (as defined by the National Cancer Institute) B-cell ALL in children may improve outcomes.
