  • Comparison of the Effects on Mrna and Mirna Stability Arian Aryani and Bernd Denecke*
    Aryani and Denecke BMC Research Notes (2015) 8:164 DOI 10.1186/s13104-015-1114-z RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access In vitro application of ribonucleases: comparison of the effects on mRNA and miRNA stability Arian Aryani and Bernd Denecke* Abstract Background: MicroRNA has become important in a wide range of research interests. Due to the increasing number of known microRNAs, these molecules are likely to be increasingly seen as a new class of biomarkers. This is driven by the fact that microRNAs are relatively stable when circulating in the plasma. Despite extensive analysis of mechanisms involved in microRNA processing, relatively little is known about the in vitro decay of microRNAs under defined conditions or about the relative stabilities of mRNAs and microRNAs. Methods: In this in vitro study, equal amounts of total RNA of identical RNA pools were treated with different ribonucleases under defined conditions. Degradation of total RNA was assessed using microfluidic analysis mainly based on ribosomal RNA. To evaluate the influence of the specific RNases on the different classes of RNA (ribosomal RNA, mRNA, miRNA) ribosomal RNA as well as a pattern of specific mRNAs and miRNAs was quantified using RT-qPCR assays. By comparison to the untreated control sample the ribonuclease-specific degradation grade depending on the RNA class was determined. Results: In the present in vitro study we have investigated the stabilities of mRNA and microRNA with respect to the influence of ribonucleases used in laboratory practice. Total RNA was treated with specific ribonucleases and the decay of different kinds of RNA was analysed by RT-qPCR and miniaturized gel electrophoresis.

  • Genome Mining Reveals the Genus Xanthomonas to Be A
    Royer et al. BMC Genomics 2013, 14:658 http://www.biomedcentral.com/1471-2164/14/658 RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access Genome mining reveals the genus Xanthomonas to be a promising reservoir for new bioactive non-ribosomally synthesized peptides Monique Royer1, Ralf Koebnik2, Mélanie Marguerettaz1, Valérie Barbe3, Guillaume P Robin2, Chrystelle Brin4, Sébastien Carrere5, Camila Gomez1, Manuela Hügelland6, Ginka H Völler6, Julie Noëll1, Isabelle Pieretti1, Saskia Rausch6, Valérie Verdier2, Stéphane Poussier7, Philippe Rott1, Roderich D Süssmuth6 and Stéphane Cociancich1* Abstract Background: Various bacteria can use non-ribosomal peptide synthesis (NRPS) to produce peptides or other small molecules. Conserved features within the NRPS machinery allow the type, and sometimes even the structure, of the synthesized polypeptide to be predicted. Thus, bacterial genome mining via in silico analyses of NRPS genes offers an attractive opportunity to uncover new bioactive non-ribosomally synthesized peptides. Xanthomonas is a large genus of Gram-negative bacteria that cause disease in hundreds of plant species. To date, the only known small molecule synthesized by NRPS in this genus is albicidin produced by Xanthomonas albilineans. This study aims to estimate the biosynthetic potential of Xanthomonas spp. by in silico analyses of NRPS genes with unknown function recently identified in the sequenced genomes of X. albilineans and related species of Xanthomonas. Results: We performed in silico analyses of NRPS genes present in all published genome sequences of Xanthomonas spp., as well as in unpublished draft genome sequences of Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae strain BAI3 and Xanthomonas spp. strain XaS3. These two latter strains, together with X. albilineans strain GPE PC73 and X.

  • Recent Progress in the Microbial Production of Pyruvic Acid
    fermentation Review Recent Progress in the Microbial Production of Pyruvic Acid Neda Maleki 1 and Mark A. Eiteman 2,* 1 Department of Food Science, Engineering and Technology, University of Tehran, Karaj 31587-77871, Iran; [email protected] 2 School of Chemical, Materials and Biomedical Engineering, University of Georgia, Athens, GA 30602, USA * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +1-706-542-0833 Academic Editor: Gunnar Lidén Received: 10 January 2017; Accepted: 6 February 2017; Published: 13 February 2017 Abstract: Pyruvic acid (pyruvate) is a cellular metabolite found at the biochemical junction of glycolysis and the tricarboxylic acid cycle. Pyruvate is used in food, cosmetics, pharmaceutical and agricultural applications. Microbial production of pyruvate from either yeast or bacteria relies on restricting the natural catabolism of pyruvate, while also limiting the accumulation of the numerous potential by-products. In this review we describe research to improve pyruvate formation which has targeted both strain development and process development. Strain development requires an understanding of carbohydrate metabolism and the many competing enzymes which use pyruvate as a substrate, and it often combines classical mutation/isolation approaches with modern metabolic engineering strategies. Process development requires an understanding of operational modes and their differing effects on microbial growth and product formation. Keywords: auxotrophy; Candida glabrata; Escherichia coli; fed-batch; metabolic engineering; pyruvate; pyruvate dehydrogenase 1. Introduction Pyruvic acid (pyruvate at neutral pH) is a three carbon oxo-monocarboxylic acid, also known as 2-oxopropanoic acid, 2-ketopropionic acid or acetylformic acid. Pyruvate is biochemically located at the end of glycolysis and entry into the tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle (Figure1).
