The Cry1Fa insecticidal protein from (Bt) was expressed on the surface of (Bs) spores to create transgenic Bs spores referred to as Spore-Cry1Fa. Cry1Fa, along with its leader sequence, was connected to the carboxyl end of a Bs spore outercoat protein, CotC, through a flexible linker. The Arg-27 residue of the Cry1Fa protein was mutated to Leu to prevent detachment from the spores due to protease digestion. The expression of the Cry protein on the Bs spores was confirmed by fluorescence microscopy using an anti-Cry1Fa antibody. The Cry protein, tightly anchored to the spore surface, appeared to be functional in terms of receptor binding. Spore-Cry1Fa bound to Sf9 cells expressing (Sf) ABCC2 transporter and killed the cells within 60 min. Additionally, nano-lipid particles of SfABCC2 were produced using styrene-maleic acid (SMA) to demonstrate the binding to Spore-Cry1Fa.

The within-host environment changes over circadian time and influences the replication and severity of viruses. Genetic knockout of the circadian transcription factors CRYPTOCHROME 1 and CRYPTOCHROME 2 (/; CKO) leads to altered protein homeostasis and chronic activation of the integrated stress response (ISR). The adaptive ISR signalling pathways help restore cellular homeostasis by downregulating protein synthesis in response to endoplasmic reticulum overloading or viral infections.

The CRY2 photoreceptor is known to form homotetramers that bind to transcription regulators to affect gene expression in response to light. A new study provides evidence that the CRY2 monomer binds different transcription regulators to affect gene expression in darkness, suggesting that photoreceptors change activity in response to light.

Introduction And Aims: Existing therapies for Anorexia Nervosa (AN) have limited effectiveness, necessitating the development of novel therapies and interventions. Hypothesizing and targeting clear mechanisms of change within treatment offer potential opportunities to improve them. The SPEAKS program aimed to develop, trial, and evaluate a therapy which targets key emotional and social factors known to be relevant in the development and maintenance of AN.
