PlasMapper 3.0 is a web server that allows users to generate, edit, annotate and interactively visualize publication quality plasmid maps. Plasmid maps are used to plan, design, share and publish critical information about gene cloning experiments. PlasMapper 3.0 is the successor to PlasMapper 2.0 and offers many features found only in commercial plasmid mapping/editing packages. PlasMapper 3.0 allows users to paste or upload plasmid sequences as input or to upload existing plasmid maps from its large database of >2000 pre-annotated plasmids (PlasMapDB). This database can be searched by plasmid names, sequence features, restriction sites, preferred host organisms, and sequence length. PlasMapper 3.0 also supports the annotation of new or never-before-seen plasmids using its own feature database that contains common promoters, terminators, regulatory sequences, replication origins, selectable markers and other features found in most cloning plasmids. PlasMapper 3.0 has several interactive sequence editors/viewers that allow users to select and view plasmid regions, insert genes, modify restriction sites or perform codon optimization. The graphics for PlasMapper 3.0 have also been substantially upgraded. It now offers an interactive, full-color plasmid viewer/editor that allows users to zoom, rotate, re-color, linearize, circularize, edit annotated features and modify plasmid images or labels to improve the esthetic qualities of their plasmid map and textual displays. All the plasmid images and textual displays are downloadable in multiple formats. PlasMapper 3.0 is available online at https://plasmapper.ca.

Objective: In this study we report the complete genome sequence of a hypervirulent ST65 Klebsiella pneumoniae isolate harbouring mcr-8 from China. The aim was to investigate its molecular characteristics and resistance mechanisms.

Methods: Colistin-resistant hypervirulent K.

Article Synopsis
  • Microtubules (MT) are constructed from α-tubulin and β-tubulin, and their dynamic behavior, influenced by microtubule-associated proteins (MAPs), is vital for cellular functions.
  • Researchers created a dual-transgene vector to co-express rice α-tubulin and various MAPs using the pCambia1301 plasmid and Gibson assembly techniques.
  • The developed vector successfully co-expressed different MAPs with α-tubulin in rice leaves, confirming its effectiveness for studying the interaction between tubulin/MT and MAPs.

Methods that identify protein-protein interactions are essential for understanding molecular mechanisms controlling biological systems. Proximity-dependent labeling has proven to be a valuable method for revealing protein-protein interaction networks in living cells. A mutant form of the biotin protein ligase enzyme from Aquifex aeolicus (BioID2) underpins this methodology by producing biotin that is attached to proteins that enter proximity to it.

Characterization of MAP c21873-1 as a new counter-selectable marker for unmarked genetic modification of Pichia pastoris.

Microb Cell Fact

August 2024

State Key Laboratory of Bioactive Substance and Function of Natural Medicines, Institute of Materia Medica, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences & Peking Union Medical College, Beijing, 100050, China.

Background: Selection markers are useful in genetic modification of yeast Pichia pastoris. However, the leakage of the promoter caused undesired expression of selection markers especially those toxic proteins like MazF, halting the cell growth and hampering the genetic manipulation in procaryotic system. In this study, a new counter-selectable marker-based strategy has been established for seamless modification with high efficiency and low toxicity.

Unlabelled: Comprehensive and accurate genome annotation is crucial for inferring the predicted functions of an organism. Numerous tools exist to annotate genes, gene clusters, mobile genetic elements, and other diverse features. However, these tools and pipelines can be difficult to install and run, be specialized for a particular element or feature, or lack annotations for larger elements that provide important genomic context.
