  • Cytosolic Selection Systems to Study Protein Stability
    Cytosolic Selection Systems To Study Protein Stability Ajamaluddin Malik,* Antje Mueller-Schickert, James C. A. Bardwell Howard Hughes Medical Institute, Department of Molecular, Cellular and Developmental Biology, University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, Michigan, USA Here we describe biosensors that provide readouts for protein stability in the cytosolic compartment of prokaryotes. These bio- sensors consist of tripartite sandwich fusions that link the in vitro stability or aggregation susceptibility of guest proteins to the in vivo resistance of host cells to the antibiotics kanamycin, spectinomycin, and nourseothricin. These selectable markers confer Downloaded from antibiotic resistance in a wide range of hosts and are easily quantifiable. We show that mutations within guest proteins that af- fect their stability alter the antibiotic resistances of the cells expressing the biosensors in a manner that is related to the in vitro stabilities of the mutant guest proteins. In addition, we find that polyglutamine tracts of increasing length are associated with an increased tendency to form amyloids in vivo and, in our sandwich fusion system, with decreased resistance to aminoglycoside antibiotics. We demonstrate that our approach allows the in vivo analysis of protein stability in the cytosolic compartment with- out the need for prior structural and functional knowledge. http://jb.asm.org/ rotein folding has been intensely studied in vitro, providing us sion number WP_004614937).

  • Nourseothricin N-Acetyl Transferase: a Positive Selection Marker for Mammalian Cells
    Nourseothricin N-Acetyl Transferase: A Positive Selection Marker for Mammalian Cells Bose S. Kochupurakkal1, J. Dirk Iglehart1,2* 1 Department of Cancer Biology, Dana-Farber Cancer Institute; Boston, Massachusetts, United States of America, 2 Department of Surgery, Brigham and Women’s Hospital, Boston, Massachusetts, United States of America Abstract Development of Nourseothricin N-acetyl transferase (NAT) as a selection marker for mammalian cells is described. Mammalian cells are acutely susceptible to Nourseothricin, similar to the widely used drug Puromycin, and NAT allows for quick and robust selection of transfected/transduced cells in the presence of Nourseothricin. NAT is compatible with other selection markers puromycin, hygromycin, neomycin, blasticidin, and is a valuable addition to the repertoire of mammalian selection markers.

These NPs include the classes have been described, including polyketides, peptides, and antibiotic daptomycin, isolated from Streptomyces roseosporus indole alkaloids. The discovery and study of natural products made by (Debono et al., 1988); and anthelmintic agents avermectins, derived basidiomycete fungi has so far been hampered by several factors, which from Streptomyces avermitilis (Miller et al., 1979).

Recent bacteria are another important reservoir for NPs of varying developments of tools for genome and metabolome studies are bioactivities, including antibiotics, such as teixobactin (Fig. 1A), allowing researchers to more easily tackle the secondary metabolome found in the recently discovered Eleftheria terrae (Ling et al., 2015). of basidiomycete fungi.

  • Of Escherichia Coli
    RESEARCH ARTICLE Goldstone and Smith, Microbial Genomics 2017;3 DOI 10.1099/mgen.0.000108 A population genomics approach to exploiting the accessory ’resistome’ of Escherichia coli Robert J Goldstone and David G E Smith* Abstract The emergence of antibiotic resistance is a defining challenge, and Escherichia coli is recognized as one of the leading species resistant to the antimicrobials used in human or veterinary medicine. Here, we analyse the distribution of 2172 antimicrobial-resistance (AMR) genes in 4022 E. coli to provide a population-level view of resistance in this species. By separating the resistance determinants into ‘core’ (those found in all strains) and ‘accessory’ (those variably present) determinants, we have found that, surprisingly, almost half of all E. coli do not encode any accessory resistance determinants. However, those strains that do encode accessory resistance are significantly more likely to be resistant to multiple antibiotic classes than would be expected by chance. Furthermore, by studying the available date of isolation for the E. coli genomes, we have visualized an expanding, highly interconnected network that describes how resistances to antimicrobials have co-associated within genomes over time. These data can be exploited to reveal antimicrobial combinations that are less likely to be found together, and so if used in combination may present an increased chance of suppressing the growth of bacteria and reduce the rate at which resistance factors are spread. Our study provides a complex picture of AMR in the E. coli population. Although the incidence of resistance to all studied antibiotic classes has increased dramatically over time, there exist combinations of antibiotics that could, in theory, attack the entirety of E.

The nat1 gene is expressed under the control of the Aspergillus nidulans trpC promoter and thus can be used as a dominant drug-resistance marker for the DNA-mediated transformation of filamentous fungi. The successful application of both vectors was demonstrated by transforming the homothallic ascomycete Sordaria macrospora as well as the β-lactam producerAcremonium

The Agency was requested to provide a report by 31 October 2019 containing recommendations to the Commission as to which criteria should be used to determine those antimicrobials to be reserved for treatment of certain infections in humans (this is also referred to as ‘criteria for designating antimicrobials for human use’, ‘restricting antimicrobials to human use’, or ‘reserved for human use only’). The Committee for Medicinal Products for Veterinary Use (CVMP) formed an expert group to prepare the scientific report. The group was composed of seven experts selected from the European network of experts, on the basis of recommendations from the national competent authorities, one expert nominated from European Food Safety Authority (EFSA), one expert nominated by European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC), one expert with expertise on human infectious diseases, and two Agency staff members with expertise on development of antimicrobial resistance .

  • Blasticidin-S Deaminase, a New Selection Marker for Genetic Transformation of the Diatom Phaeodactylum Tricornutum
    Blasticidin-S deaminase, a new selection marker for genetic transformation of the diatom Phaeodactylum tricornutum Jochen M. Buck1, Carolina Río Bártulos1, Ansgar Gruber1,2 and Peter G. Kroth1 1 Department of Biology, University of Konstanz, Konstanz, Germany 2 Institute of Parasitology, Biology Centre, Czech Academy of Sciences, České Budějovice, Czech Republic ABSTRACT Most genetic transformation protocols for the model diatom Phaeodactylum tricornutum rely on one of two available antibiotics as selection markers: Zeocin (a formulation of phleomycin D1) or nourseothricin. This limits the number of possible consecutive genetic transformations that can be performed. In order to expand the biotechnological possibilities for P. tricornutum, we searched for additional antibiotics and corresponding resistance genes that might be suitable for use with this diatom. Among the three different antibiotics tested in this study, blasticidin-S and tunicamycin turned out to be lethal to wild-type cells at low concentrations, while voriconazole had no detectable effect on P. tricornutum. Testing the respective resistance genes, we found that the blasticidin-S deaminase gene (bsr) effectively conferred resistance against blasticidin-S to P. tricornutum. Furthermore, we could show that expression of bsr did not lead to cross-resistances against Zeocin or nourseothricin, and that genetically transformed cell lines with resistance against Zeocin or nourseothricin were not resistant against blasticidin-S. In a proof of concept, we also successfully generated double resistant (against blasticidin-S and nourseothricin) P. tricornutum cell lines by co-delivering the bsr vector with a vector conferring nourseothricin resistance to wild-type cells.

Many successful antibiotics target protein synthesis machinery to arrest bacterial growth. Hydrolysis of peptidyl-tRNA by Pth is an important action during recovery from stalled protein synthesis. To determine whether an attack on Pth would damage M. tuberculosis, several Pth depletion strains were created. A tightly regulated knockdown strain confirmed essentiality of the protein for normal growth. Loosely regulated partial knockdown (hypomorph) strains were created for use in drug-susceptibility testing which showed that depletion of Pth induced hypersensitivity to macrolide antibiotics erythromycin, clarithromycin, and azithromycin.
