The enzymatic formation of the cyclodepsipeptide beauvericin was demonstrated in cell-free extracts from Beauveria bassiana. In analogy to the enniatin synthetase system formation of beauvericin is strictly dependent on the presence of the constituent amino and hydroxy acid, S-adenosylmethionine, and ATP/Mg2+. Synthesizing activity could be enriched about 12-fold by fractional ammonium sulfate precipitation. Besides the enniatin synthetase system this represents another example of the cell-free synthesis of a depsipeptide from eucaryotic origin.

Plants are a valuable source of diverse specialized metabolites with numerous applications. However, these compounds are often produced in limited quantities, particularly under unfavorable ecological conditions. To achieve sufficient levels of target metabolites, alternative strategies such as pathway engineering in heterologous systems like microbes (e.

Background: A blood-based approach to monitor metastasis and recurrence of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) remains undeveloped. This study aimed to establish a dependable model utilizing cfDNA 5-hydroxymethylcytosines (5hmC) signatures to detect these conditions in ESCC.
Methods: The 5hmC-Seal technique was employed to generate comprehensive 5hmC profiles from the plasma cell-free DNA (cfDNA) of 122 ESCC patients, classified into 72 with metastasis, 50 without metastasis, 30 with recurrence, and 92 without recurrence.
Biosilicification-mimicking chiral nanostructures for targeted treatment of inflammatory bowel disease.

The cascade reaction of lipopolysaccharides (LPS), cell-free DNA (cfDNA), and reactive oxygen species (ROS), drives the development of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Herein, we construct polyethylenimide (PEI)-L/D-tartaric acid (L/D-TA) complexes templated mesoporous organosilica nanoparticles (MON) (PEI-L/D-TA@MON) by mimicking biosilicification under ambient conditions within seconds. The chiral nanomedicines include four functional moieties, wherein PEI electrostatically attracts cfDNA, tetrathulfide bonds reductively react with ROS, silanol groups adsorb LPS, and L/D-TA enables chiral recognition and inflammatory localization.

Recent advances in fluorescent biosensors have stimulated the development of molecular detection. We herein developed a new orthogonal logic operation of fluorescent biosensor with cell-free to accomplish the detection of atrazine (ATZ) and tetrachlorobiphenyls (PCB77). The transcriptional process to generate fluorescent RNA aptamers (Mango) was controlled by molecules-probe bindings, which regulate split T7 promoter transcription switches ON or OFF.

The development of cell-free protein synthesis technology has made it possible to easily and quickly synthesize recombinant proteins. Among cell-free protein synthesis systems, wheat germ cell-free protein synthesis using eukaryotic ribosomes is an efficient approach to synthesize proteins with diverse and complex structures and functions. However, to date, cell-free protein synthesis systems, including wheat germ cell-free systems, have not been widely used in plant research, and little is known about their applications.
