Abstract

Two putative pathway-specific regulators have been identified in the collismycin A gene cluster: ClmR1, belonging to the TetR-family, and the LuxR-family transcriptional regulator ClmR2. Inactivation of clmR1 led to a moderate increase of collismycin A yields along with an early onset of its production, suggesting an inhibitory role for the product of this gene. Inactivation of clmR2 abolished collismycin A biosynthesis, whereas overexpression of ClmR2 led to a fourfold increase in production yields, indicating that ClmR2 is an activator of collismycin A biosynthesis. Expression analyses of the collismycin gene cluster in the wild-type strain and in ΔclmR1 and ΔclmR2 mutants confirmed the role proposed for both regulatory genes, revealing that ClmR2 positively controls the expression of most of the genes in the cluster and ClmR1 negatively regulates both its own expression and that of clmR2. Additionally, production assays and further transcription analyses confirmed the existence of a higher regulatory level modulating collismycin A biosynthesis in response to iron concentrations in the culture medium. Thus, high iron levels inhibit collismycin A biosynthesis through the repression of clmR2 transcription. These results have al...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
