Here we report the synthesis and genetic encoding of the lysine post translational modifications, β-hydroxybutyryl-lysine, isobutyryl-lysine and isovaleryl-lysine. The ability to obtain a homogenous protein samples with site-specific incorporation of these acylated lysine residues can serve as a powerful tool to study the biological role of lysine post translational modifications.

Background: The mechanisms underlying the resistance of the genus to aminoglycosides are complex, which poses a challenge for the efficient treatment of infectious diseases caused by these pathogens. To help clinicians treat infections more effectively, a more comprehensive understanding of antibiotic resistance mechanisms is urgently needed.
Methods: Plates were streaked to isolate bacteria from the intestinal contents of fish.

Kell is one of the most complex blood group systems, with a highly polymorphic genetic background. Extensive allelic variations in the gene affect the encoded erythrocyte surface protein Kell. Genetic variants causing aberrant splicing, premature termination of protein translation, or specific amino acid exchanges lead to a variety of different phenotypes with altered Kell expression levels or changes in the antigenic properties of the Kell protein.

Background: Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) is a chronic syndrome, affecting about 1%-5% of children. OSAS is characterized by increased resistance and collapse of the upper airways, with different degrees of severity requiring interventions ranging from lifestyle modifications to surgery. Sympathetic activity is increased in OSAS, and the reduction of disease symptoms, occurring after adenotonsillectomy, correlates with biomarkers indicating a reduced sympathetic response.

Genetically encoded fluorescent biosensors (GEFBs) have become indispensable tools for visualizing biological processes A typical GEFB is composed of a sensory domain (SD) that undergoes a conformational change upon ligand binding or enzymatic reaction; the SD is genetically fused with a fluorescent protein (FP). The changes in the SD allosterically modulate the chromophore environment whose spectral properties are changed. Single fluorescent (FP)-based biosensors, a subclass of GEFBs, offer a simple experimental setup; they are easy to produce in living cells, structurally stable, and simple to use due to their single-wavelength operation.
