Nine temperature-sensitive (Ts) mutants of Neisseria gonorrhoeae strain 49191 were isolated. They were proven to be different from each other by results of transformation experiments. None of the Ts mutations appeared to be linked to antibiotic resistance genes from strain 24392. However, Ts-9 demonstrated 8% linkage with a nalidixic acid resistance marker from strain RW-2.

The pseudouridylase Pus1 catalyzes pseudouridine (Ψ) formation at multiple uridine residues in tRNAs, and in some snRNAs and mRNAs. Although Pus1 is highly conserved, and mutations are associated with human disease, little is known about eukaryotic Pus1 biology. Here, we show that Schizosaccharomyces pombe pus1Δ mutants are temperature sensitive due to decay of tRNAIle(UAU), as tRNAIle(UAU) levels are reduced, and its overexpression suppresses the defect.

Plant Toll/interleukin-1 receptor (TIR) domains function as NADases and ribosyl-transferases generating second messengers that trigger hypersensitive responses. TIR-X (TX) proteins contain a TIR domain with or without various C-terminal domains and lack the canonical nucleotide-binding site and leucine-rich repeat domain. In a previous study, we identified an Arabidopsis thaliana activation-tagging line with severe growth defects caused by the overexpression of the AtTX12 gene.

Protein secretion is an essential cell process in bacteria, required for cell envelope biogenesis, export of virulence factors, and acquisition of nutrients, among other important functions. In the Sec secretion pathway, signal peptide-bearing precursors are recognized by the SecA ATPase and pushed across the membrane through a translocon channel made of the proteins SecY, SecE, and SecG. The Sec pathway has been extensively studied in the model organism , but the Sec pathways of other bacteria such as the human pathogen differ in important ways from this model.

Some winter rapeseed (Brassica rapa) varieties can endure extremely low temperatures (-20°C to -32°C). However, because of a lack of mutant resources, the molecular mechanisms underlying cold tolerance in B. rapa remain unclear.

The emergence of multiple drug-resistant bacteria poses critical health threats worldwide. It is urgently needed to develop potent and safe antibacterial agents with novel bactericidal mechanisms to treat these infections. In this study, magnolol was identified as a potential bacterial cell division inhibitor by a cell-based screening approach.
