To enhance cAMP salvage synthesis, fermentations with citrate/luteolin and hypoxanthine coupling added were conducted in a 7 L bioreactor and then multiple physiological indicators of fermentation with luteolin addition were assayed. Due to hypoxanthine feeding, cAMP productivity reached 0.066 g/(L·h) with 43.5% higher than control, however, cAMP synthesis, cell growth and glucose uptake all ceased at 50 h which was shortened by 22 h in comparison to control. The addition of citrate resulted in the cessation of fermentation at 61 h, on the contrary, owing to luteolin addition, cAMP fermentation performance was enhanced significantly during the whole fermentation period (72 h) with higher hypoxanthine conversion ratios and cAMP contents when compared with citrate and only hypoxanthine added batches. Multiple physiological indicators revealed that luteolin inhibited xanthine oxidase activity reducing hypoxanthine decomposition and ROS generation. ATP/AMP, NADH/NAD+ and NADPH/NADP+ were significantly increased especially at the late phase. Moreover, HPRT, PUP expression contents and corresponding gene transcription levels were also elevated. Luteolin could inhibit xanthine oxidase activity and further decrease hypoxanthine decomposition and ROS generation leading to higher hypoxanthine conversion and less cell damage for cAMP salvage synthesis efficiently.","PeriodicalId":8929,"journal":{"name":"Biotechnology Letters","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2024-07-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141783585","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It is a ubiquitous opportunistic pathogen that can cause diverse infections in plants, animals, and humans. It also has significant biotechnological potential. However, due to the lack of efficient genetic tools, the molecular basis contributing to the pathogenesis and beneficial activities of K. variicola remains poorly understood. In this study, we found and characterized a native type I-E CRISPR-Cas system in a recently isolated K. variicola strain KV-1. The system cannot cleave target DNA sequences due to the inactivation of the Cas3 nuclease by a transposable element but retains the activity of the crRNA-guided Cascade binding to the target DNA sequence. A targeting plasmid carrying a mini-CRISPR to encode a crRNA was designed and introduced into the KV-1 strain, which successfully repurposed the native type I-E CRISPR-Cas system to inhibit the expression of the target gene efficiently and specifically. Moreover, by creating a mini-CRISPR to encode multiple crRNAs, multiplex gene repression was achieved by providing a single targeting plasmid. This work provides the first native CRISPR-Cas-based tool for programmable multiplex gene repression in K. variicola, which will facilitate studying the pathogenic mechanism of K. variicola and enable metabolic engineering to produce valuable bioproducts.","PeriodicalId":8929,"journal":{"name":"Biotechnology Letters","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2024-07-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141786056","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Although transgenic DCs with adenoviral vectors presented a superior extent of redifferentiation, they also expressed greater levels of the hypertrophic gene type X collagen. It is still worth further exploring how to deliver TGF-β3 more efficiently and optimizing the appropriate parameters, including concentration and duration.Conclusions: The results demonstrated the better redifferentiation effect of DCs with the combinational use of transgenic TGF-β3 and a microcavitary alginate hydrogel and implied that DCs would be alternative seed cells for cartilage tissue engineering due to their easily achieved sufficient cell amounts through multiple passages and great potential to redifferentiate to produce cartilaginous extracellular matrix.","PeriodicalId":8929,"journal":{"name":"Biotechnology Letters","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2024-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140206322","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In prokaryotes and multicellular eukaryotes other than placental mammals, CPDs can be rapidly repaired by CPD photolyases in one simple enzymatic reaction using the energy of blue light. In this study, we aim to construct recombinant CPD photolyases that can autonomously enter human cell nuclei to fix UV-induced CPDs. A fly cell penetration peptide and a viral nucleus localization signal peptide were recombined with a fungal CPD photolyase to construct a recombinant protein. This engineered CPD photolyase autonomously crosses cytoplasm and nuclear membrane of human cell nuclei, which then efficiently photo-repairs UV-induced CPD lesions in the genomic DNA.
