The phage lambda int gene is transcribed from two different promoters, pI and pL. Transcription from pI results in efficient synthesis of Int protein whereas transcription originating from pL results in poor int expression. The differential expression of Int from these two transcripts is dependent upon a site (sib) located distal to the int gene [Guarneros and Galindo, Virology 95 (1979) 119-126; Guarneros et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 79 (1982) 238-242]. We have examined pI-promoted transcription in the region beyond the int coding sequence. The int mRNA extends to a site designated tI, which is located 277 nucleotides beyond int. Characterization of transcription at tI indicates that tI terminates with 75% efficiency in vitro, and that its efficiency is over 95% in vivo. The region between int and tI contains the regulatory signals needed for phage lamba integration and appears to be untranslated. The termination site overlaps with the sib control region that reduces Int synthesis from pL transcripts.

Clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) is a globally severe cancer with an unfavorable prognosis. PANoptosis, a form of cell death regulated by PANoptosomes, plays a role in numerous cancer types. However, the specific roles of genes associated with PANoptosis in the development and advancement of ccRCC remain unclear.

The formation of flavor in fermented vegetables is directly associated with the interactions among the resident microbial strains. This study explored the cooperative dynamics between Lactobacillus plantarum and Rhodotorula mucilaginosa in a simulated cabbage juice system. The obtained results indicated that the co-cultivation of these strains accelerated fermentation kinetics and enhanced lactic acid production.

Intestinal microbiota could respond to dietary fibres that are fermented by the gut microbiota, like prebiotics. Nevertheless, the dynamics of intestinal microbial community longitudinally after prebiotics intake, are still largely unknown. The current study unrevealed the successional process of intestinal microbial community after inulin supplementation, and the effect of supplementation dosage thereof, based on analysis of 16S rRNA gene sequences in C57BL/6 mice.

Continuous supply of NADPH is necessary for the synthesis of ROS, which can be derived from the decarboxylation of malic acid, providing fuels for RbOHs to sustain ROS production. However, excessive accumulations of ROS lead to significant chilling injury (CI) in peaches during cold storage. Our previous studies indicated that hot air (HA) slows the CI progression in peaches by preventing malate degradation.
