Secretion of proteins into the extracellular space has great advantages for the production of recombinant proteins. Type 1 secretion systems (T1SS) are attractive candidates to be optimized for biotechnological applications, as they have a relatively simple architecture compared to other classes of secretion systems. A paradigm of T1SS is the hemolysin A type 1 secretion system (HlyA T1SS) from Escherichia coli harboring only three membrane proteins, which makes the plasmid-based expression of the system easy. Although for decades the HlyA T1SS has been successfully applied for secretion of a long list of heterologous proteins from different origins as well as peptides, but its utility at commercial scales is still limited mainly due to low secretion titers of the system. To address this drawback, we engineered the inner membrane complex of the system, consisting of HlyB and HlyD proteins, following KnowVolution strategy. The applied KnowVolution campaign in this study provided a novel HlyB variant containing four substitutions (T36L/F216W/S290C/V421I) with up to 2.5-fold improved secretion for two hydrolases, a lipase and a cutinase. KEY POINTS: • An improvement in protein secretion via the use of T1SS • Reaching almost 400 mg/L of soluble lipase into the supernatant • A step forward to making E. coli cells more competitive for applying as a secretion host.

Multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1 (MEN1) syndrome is an autosomal dominant disorder caused by a germline pathogenic variant in the MEN1 tumor suppressor gene. Patients with MEN1 have a high risk for primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) with a penetrance of nearly 100%, pituitary adenomas (PitAd) in 40% of patients, and neuroendocrine neoplasms (NEN) of the pancreas (40% of patients), duodenum, lung, and thymus. Increased MEN1-related mortality is mainly related to duodenal-pancreatic and thymic NEN.

Purpose: To investigate the relationship between obstructive sleep apnea hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS) severity and fat, bone, and muscle indices.
Methods: This study included 102 patients with OSAHS and retrospectively reviewed their physical examination data. All patients underwent polysomnography, body composition analysis, dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry, computed tomography (CT) and blood test.

Abnormal melanin synthesis within melanocytes can result in pigmentary skin disorders. Although pigmentation alterations associated with inflammation are frequently observed, the precise reason for this clinical observation is still unknown. More specifically, although many cytokines are known to be critical for inflammatory skin processes, it is unclear how they affect epidermal melanocyte function.

Insulin resistance was considered to be the most important clinical phenotype of type 2 diabetes (T2DM). Almond is a widely-consumed nut and long-term intake was beneficial to alleviating insulin resistance in patients with T2DM. Hence, screening of anti-diabetic peptides from almond proteins was feasible based on the effectiveness of peptides in the treatment of T2DM.

Alopecia areata (AA) is an autoimmune condition marked by hair loss, linked to inflammatory processes involving the interleukin-1 receptor type 1 (IL-1R1) pathway. This study aims to explore the relationship between IL-1R1 gene expression, serum IL-1R1 levels, and hsa-miR-19b-3p in relation to AA severity. Using a case-control design, we assessed 100 AA patients and 100 healthy controls, measuring serum IL-1R1 through enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and analyzing IL-1R1 gene and hsa-miR-19b-3p expression levels via quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR).
