Structural insights into a substrate translocation pathway revealed by the RND efflux pump complex MexJK from Pseudomonas aeruginosa
Abstract INTRODUCTION RESULTS DISCUSSION MATERIALS AND METHODS Acknowledgments Supplementary Materials REFERENCES Information & Authors Metrics & Citations View Options References Figures Tables Media Share Abstract Resistance–nodulation–cell division (RND) efflux pumps are the major cause of multidrug resistance in Pseudomonas aeruginosa. The inner membrane protein MexK from P. aeruginosa is a narrow-spectrum RND transporter.
Development of a quadruplex RT-qPCR for the detection of avian leukosis virus, chicken infectious anemia virus, avian reovirus, and fowl adenovirus
Abstract Avian leukosis virus (ALV), chicken infectious anemia virus (CIAV), avian reovirus (ARV), and fowl adenovirus (FAdV) are important viral pathogens that can transmitted horizontally and vertically, and induce immunosuppression to the poultry flocks. They exhibit diverse pathogenic characteristics in clinical settings, and pose continuous threat to the health of poultry flocks.

Frontiers | Development of a novel duplex crystal digital PCR for the detection of PRRSV–1 and PRRSV–2
Abstract Background: Porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome (PRRS) is a widely prevalent disease of reproductive failure of pregnant pigs and respiratory syndromes in pigs of different ages, especially in piglets. The etiological agents include PRRS virus (PRRSV) genotypes 1 (PRRSV–1) and PRRSV–2, whereas their clinical symptoms are similar and hard to differentiate. It is necessary to establish accurate and reliable methods for differential detection of PRRSV-1 and PRRSV-2.
Electrocatalytic linear coupling of alkenes via radical anion under mild conditions
Electrocatalytic linear coupling of alkenes via radical anion under mild conditions The reductive coupling of alkenes is an efficient strategy for directly constructing C–C bonds from readily available bulk chemical feedstocks. Herein, a one-step electrocatalytic protocol is proposed for the direct linear coupling of alkenes.

Dual-function regulator MexL as a target to control phenazines production and pathogenesis of Pseudomonas aeruginosa - Nature Communications
Abstract Antibiotic resistance or tolerance of pathogens has become one of the global public crises. Finding new drug targets may open up a way of infection control. Phenazine pyocyanin (PYO) is an important virulence factor produced by the pathogen Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Here we show that a multidrug efflux pump repressor, MexL, acts as a transcriptional activator to enhance phenazines production via binding with a conserved DNA motif within the promoters of phenazines biosynthesis genes.

Structural basis of antiphage immunity generated by a prokaryotic Argonaute-associated SPARSA system - Nature Communications
Abstract Argonaute (Ago) proteins are ubiquitous across all kingdoms of life. Eukaryotic Agos (eAgos) use small RNAs to recognize transcripts for RNA silencing in eukaryotes. In contrast, the functions of prokaryotic counterparts (pAgo) are less well known. Recently, short pAgos in conjunction with the associated TIR or Sir2 (SPARTA or SPARSA) were found to serve as antiviral systems to combat phage infections.

The Septin Gene StSep4 Contributes to the Pathogenicity of Setosphaeria turcica by Regulating the Morphology, Cell Wall Integrity, and Pathogenic Factor Biosynthesis
The fungal pathogen Setosphaeria turcica causes northern corn leaf blight (NCLB) in maize, sorghum, and related grasses. (1) This fungal foliar disease can cause devastating yield losses and reductions in feed value. During infection, S. turcica develops a specialized cell called an appressorium with which it infects the host plant. Although S.

ALMA Detection of Dust Trapping around Lagrangian Points in the LkCa 15 Disk
Disk substructures, in the forms of gaps and rings, spiral arms, and asymmetries, are prevalent in high angular resolution images from both millimeter continuum emission and optical/near-infrared scattered light (see recent reviews by Andrews 2020; Benisty et al. 2022). These features are widely taken as the imprints of planet–disk interactions (e.g., Zhu et al. 2011; Pinilla et al. 2012; Dipierro et al.

Refinement and Analysis of the Mature Zika Virus Cryo-EM Structure at 3.1 Å Resolution
Cryo-EM Reconstruction and Refinement of the ZIKV Atomic Model The Cα atoms of the refined ZIKV structure differ by a root-mean-square deviation (RMSD) of 1.2 Å with respect to the previously determined structure (PDB: 5IRE). Differences as large as 1.9–3.0 Å were at several loop and transmembrane regions.
