AI Article Synopsis

  • Microsporidia is a pathogen that causes pebrine disease in silkworms and infects host cells by injecting its polar tube.
  • The study focused on the Ssn6 protein, which is characterized by a 1182 bp gene encoding a 393 amino acid polypeptide, primarily located in the cytoplasm and nucleus during cell proliferation.
  • Interactions between Ssn6, polar tube protein 2, and a transcriptional repressor were confirmed through various assays, indicating that Ssn6 plays a crucial role in regulating the infection and proliferation of Microsporidia.

Article Abstract

is a representative species of Microsporidia, and is the pathogen that causes pebrine disease in silkworms. In the process of infection, the polar tube of is injected into the host cells. During proliferation, recruits the mitochondria of host cells. The general transcriptional corepressor Ssn6 contains six tetratricopeptide repeats (TPR) and undertakes various important functions. In this study, we isolated and characterized of the microsporidium . The gene contains a complete ORF of 1182 bp in length that encodes a 393 amino acid polypeptide. Indirect immunofluorescence assay showed that the Ssn6 protein was mainly distributed in the cytoplasm and nucleus at the proliferative phase of . We revealed the interaction of Nbssn6 with polar tube protein 2 (Nbptp2) and the transcriptional repressor for RNA polymerase II (Nbtrrp2) by Co-IP and yeast two-hybrid assays. Results from RNA interference further confirmed that the transcriptional level of and was regulated by . These results suggest that Nbssn6 impacts the infection and proliferation of via interacting with the polar tube protein and transcriptional repressor for RNA polymerase II.

Addition of epithelial progenitor cells drives progressive extension of the heart tube during cardiac morphogenesis. In this issue of Developmental Cell, Arriagada et al. (2024) refine our understanding of how these cells condition and interact with the underlying extracellular matrix, demonstrating that autonomous fibronectin synthesis controls their apicobasal polarity and deployment to the heart.

Vangl is a planar cell polarity (PCP) core protein essential for aligned cell orientation along the epithelial plane perpendicular to the apical-basal direction, which is important for tissue morphogenesis, development and collective cell behavior. Mutations in Vangl are associated with developmental defects, including neural tube defects (NTDs), according to human cohort studies of sporadic and familial cases. The complex mechanisms underlying Vangl-mediated PCP signaling or Vangl-associated human congenital diseases have been hampered by the lack of molecular characterizations of Vangl.

Regulation of the immune response is key to promoting bone regeneration by electroactive biomaterials. However, how electrical signals at the micro- and nanoscale regulate the immune response and subsequent angiogenesis during bone regeneration remains to be elucidated. Here, the distinctly different surface potential distributions on charged poly(vinylidene fluoridetrifluoroethylene) (P(VDF-TrFE)) matrix surfaces are established by altering the dimensions of ferroelectric nanofillers from 0D BaTiO nanoparticles (homogeneous surface potential distribution, HOPD) to 1D BaTiO nanofibers (heterogeneous surface potential distribution, HEPD).

Rationale: Data are required for SIFT-MS analysis of perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), which are persistent in the environment and cause adverse health effects. Specifically, the rate coefficients and product ion branching ratios of the reactions of HO, NO, O •, O•, OH, O •, NO and NO with PFAS vapours are needed.

Methods: The dual polarity SIFT-MS instrument (Voice200) was used to generate these eight reagent ions and inject them into the flow tube with N carrier gas at a temperature of 393 K.

Clinically, abnormal or delayed wound healing leads to functional disorders and disfiguring scars. A well-vascularized environment and an anti-inflammatory immune state are crucial during the healing process. Molybdenum (Mo) is an essential element for the human body in modulating metabolism, immune function and tissue repair.
