The homeodomain factor paired related homeobox protein‐like 1 (Prrxl1) is crucial for proper assembly of dorsal root ganglia (DRG)–dorsal spinal cord (SC) pain‐sensing circuit. By performing chromatin immunoprecipitation with either embryonic DRG or dorsal SC, we identified two evolutionarily conserved regions (i.e. proximal promoter and intron 4) of Prrxl1 locus that show tissue‐specific binding of Prrxl1. Transcriptional assays confirm the identified regions can mediate repression by Prrxl1, while ...

Exposure of Staphylococcus aureus to cell wall inhibitors leads to the activation of the VraTSR three-component sensory regulatory system. This system is composed of VraS, a membrane histidine kinase; VraR, its cognate response regulator, and VraT, a protein required for the full activity of VraTSR. The exact function of VraT remains mostly uncharacterized, although it has been proposed to detect the unknown stimulus sensed by the VraTSR system. Here, we elucidate the topology of VraT, showing that ...

Comparative genomics has proven useful in exploring the biodiversity of phages and understanding phage-host interactions. This knowledge is particularly useful for phages infecting Streptococcus thermophilus, as they constitute a constant threat during dairy fermentations. Here, we explore the genetic diversity of S. thermophilus phages to identify genetic determinants with a signature for host specificity, which could be linked to the bacterial receptor genotype. A comparative genomic analysis ...

Congenital heart disease (CHD) is the most common congenital disorder among live births. When associated with extracardiac abnormalities, it is characterized as a syndromic heart disease (syndromic CHD) and corresponds to 25% of all liveborn infants with a heart defect. The etiology in about 65% of the cases still remains unknown, and in about 35% of the patients, it is associated with genetic factors. In the present study, MLPA and SNP-array techniques were used to investigate a group of 47 patients ...

Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are a class of broad-spectrum antibiotics known by their ability to disrupt bacterial membranes and their low tendency to induce bacterial resistance, arising as excellent candidates to fight bacterial infections. In this study we aimed at designing short 12-mer AMPs, derived from a highly effective and broad spectrum synthetic AMP, MSI-78 (22 residues), by truncating this peptide at the N- and/or C-termini while spanning its entire sequence with 1 amino acid (aa) shifts. ...

In this study, we evaluated whether the working-memory impairment characteristic of animal models of chronic pain is dependent on hippocampal dopaminergic signaling. To address this issue, we implanted multichannel arrays of electrodes in the dorsal and ventral hippocampal CA1 region of rats and recorded the neuronal activity during a food-reinforced ...

ABSTRACT Metallo-β-lactamase enzymes (MβL) are encoded by transferable genes, which appear to spread rapidly among gram-negative bacteria. The objective of this study was to develop a multiplex real-time PCR assay followed by a melt curve step for rapid detection and identification of genes encoding MβL-type enzymes based on the amplicon melting peak. The reference sequences of all genes encoding IMP and VIM types, SPM-1, GIM-1, and SIM-1 were downloaded from GenBank, and primers were designed to ...

Diuron is one of the most widely herbicide used worldwide, which can undergo degradation producing three primary metabolites: 3,4-dichlorophenylurea, 3-(3,4-dichlorophenyl)-1-methylurea, and 3,4-dichloroaniline. Since the persistence of diuron and its by-products in ecosystems involves risk of toxicity to environment and human health, a reliable quantitative method for simultaneous monitoring of these compounds is required. Hence, a simple method without preconcentration step was validated for quantitation ...
