Seventy strains of B. asteroides isolated from the honey bees Apis mellifera and A. cerana raised in 15 different countries, 73 strains of B. indicum from Apis dorsata and A. cerana from The Philippines and 28 strains of B. globosum isolated from feces of various animals and sewage, were studied for the existence of related structures among their plasmid complements with the Southern blot-hybridization technique. Thirteen different structures were found in B. asteroides and three in B. indicum and B. globosum. A total of twenty five strains were used as source of probes in the hybridization experiments.

Objective: Heart failure (HF) causes structural and functional changes in the heart, with the pyroptosis-mediated inflammatory response as the core link in HF pathogenesis. E3 ubiquitin ligases participate in cardiovascular disease progression. Here, we explored the underlying molecular mechanisms of E3 ubiquitin ligase Smurf1 in governing HF.

Article Synopsis
  • The study focuses on the role of WWP1, a protein ligase, in the enamel development of mice.
  • Single-cell RNA sequencing and immunohistochemistry showed that WWP1 is highly expressed in dental epithelial cells, specifically in ameloblasts involved in enamel formation.
  • Wwp1 knockout mice displayed significant enamel developmental defects, including reduced enamel volume and disorganized enamel structures compared to control mice.

Background: Variants in the GABRA2 gene, which encodes the α2 subunit of the γ-aminobutyric acid A receptor, have been linked to a rare form of developmental and epileptic encephalopathy (DEE) referred to as DEE78. Only eight patients have been reported globally. This study presents the clinical presentation and genetic analysis of a Chinese family with a child diagnosed with DEE78, due to a novel GABRA2 variant.
