[Abstract]  Roseburia and Eubacterium species of the human gut microbiota play an important role in the maintaince of human health, partly by producing butyrate, the main energy source of our colonic epithelial cells. However, our knowledge of the biochemistry and physiology of these bacteria has been limited by a lack of genetic manipulation techniques. Conjugative transposons previously introduced into Roseburia species could not be easily modified, greatly limiting their applicability as genetic modification platforms. Modular plasmid shuttle vectors have previously been developed for Clostridium species, which share a taxonomic order with Roseburia and Eubacterium, raising the possibility that these vectors could be used in these organisms. ... [摘要]  [摘要 ] 人体肠道菌群中的玫瑰菌属和真细菌属在维持人类健康中起着重要作用,部分原因是产生丁酸盐,这是我们结肠上皮细胞的主要能源。但是,由于缺乏基因操作技术,我们对这些细菌的生物化学和生理学的认识受到限制。先前引入玫瑰花属物种的共轭转座子不容易被修饰,极大地限制了它们作为基因修饰平台的适用性。MOD ular质粒穿梭载体先前已经开发了用于梭菌物种,其与共享一个分类次序ř oseburia 和真杆菌,提高这些矢量可以在这些生物体中使用的可能性。在这里,我们描述了一种优化缀合协议使得能够自主复制的质粒的从转印大肠杆菌供体菌株为罗斯氏inulinivorans 和真杆菌rectale 。质粒的模块性质及其通过自主复制在受体细菌中得以维持的能力使其成为研究异源基因表达的理想之选,并成为其他遗传工具(包括反义RNA沉默或II 型移动子中断子基因破坏策略)的平台。

[背景 ] 玫瑰菌和真细菌属人类肠道菌群中含量最高的细菌(Zhernakova 等,2016),它们通过利用饮食和宿主衍生的多糖影响人类健康(Scott 等,2006和2011; Cockburn 等) 。,2015 ; 谢里登等人,2016 )并产生促进健康的代谢物丁酸作为发酵终产物(邓肯等人,2002和2006) 。另外,这些物种能够通过鞭毛调节宿主免疫(Neville ...

Transcytosis Assay for Transport of Glycosphingolipids across MDCK-II Cells

[Abstract]  Absorption and secretion of peptide and protein cargoes across single-cell thick mucosal and endothelial barriers occurs by active endocytic and vesicular trafficking that connects one side of the epithelial or endothelial cell (the lumen) with the other (the serosa or blood). Assays that assess this pathway must robustly control for non-specific and passive solute flux through weak or damaged intercellular junctions that seal the epithelial or endothelial cells together. Here we describe an in vitro cell culture Transwell assay for transcytosis of therapeutic peptides linked covalently to various species of the glycosphingolipid GM1. We recently used this assay to develop technology that harnesses endogenous mechanism of lipid sorting across epithelial cell barriers to enable ... [摘要]  单细胞厚粘膜和内皮屏障上的肽和蛋白质货物的吸收和分泌通过活性内吞和囊泡运输发生,其连接上皮细胞或内皮细胞(管腔)的一侧与另一侧(浆膜或血液)。 评估该途径的测定必须通过弱的或受损的细胞间连接强有力地控制非特异性和被动的溶质通量,所述细胞间连接将上皮细胞或内皮细胞密封在一起。 在这里,我们描述了一种体外>细胞培养Transwell测定法,用于与各种鞘糖脂GM1共价连接的治疗性肽的转胞吞作用。 我们最近使用该测定开发了技术,该技术利用跨上皮细胞屏障的脂质分选的内源机制,以实现肽和蛋白质治疗剂的口服递送。

【背景】
大分子穿过覆盖粘膜表面的单细胞厚的上皮屏障和衬在供给心肌和脑的血管的紧密内皮屏障上的运输通过内吞过程发生,该内吞过程将这些极化细胞的一侧与另一侧连接。该过程称为转胞吞作用(Garcia-Castillo et al。>,2017)。通过受体介导的内吞作用和穿过消化道和呼吸道粘膜的囊泡运输的免疫球蛋白的吸收和分泌最着名的是这一过程。对转胞吞作用的兴趣也受到利用该途径在紧密上皮和内皮屏障上递送治疗性肽和蛋白质的潜力的刺激(Thuenauer 等人,>,2017)。

转胞吞作用是一种活跃的(ATP驱动的)过程。在一些情况下,通过细胞间紧密连接在细胞周围被动扩散可以发生大分子跨越紧密上皮和内皮屏障的转运(Fung ...

Induction of Natural Competence in Genetically-modified Lactococcus lactis

[Abstract]  Natural competence can be activated in Lactoccocus lactis subsp lactis and cremoris upon overexpression of ComX, a master regulator of bacterial competence. Herein, we demonstrate a method to activate bacterial competence by regulating the expression of the comX gene by using a nisin-inducible promoter in an L. lactis strain harboring either a chromosomal or plasmid-encoded copy of nisRK. Addition of moderate concentrations of the inducer nisin resulted in concomitant moderate levels of ComX, which led to an optimal transformation rate (1.0 x 10-6 transformants/total cell number/g plasmid DNA). Here, a detailed description of the optimized protocol for competence induction is presented. [摘要]  在过度表达细菌能力的主要调节因子ComX后,天然能力可以在乳酸乳球菌亚种乳酸和 cremoris 中激活。 在本文中,我们展示了通过在 L中使用乳链菌肽诱导型启动子调节 comX 基因的表达来激活细菌能力的方法。 含有 nisRK 的染色体或质粒编码拷贝的lactis 菌株。 加入中等浓度的诱导剂乳链菌肽导致伴随的中等水平的ComX,其导致最佳转化率(1.0×10 2 sup / -6>转化子/总细胞数/ g质粒DNA)。 在此,提出了用于能力归纳的优化协议的详细描述。

【背景】自然能力是细菌通过专门的摄取机制获得外源DNA的过程,之后内化的DNA整合到其基因组中或作为质粒DNA维持。一些细菌在特定的环境触发因素如基因毒性应激或饥饿时进入能力状态(Seitz和Blokesch,2013; Blokesch,2016)。群体感应系统,如 comCDE 或 comRS ,控制着革兰氏阳性菌的自然能力的激活(Håvarstein et al。,1995; Pestova et al。,1996; Kleerebezem et al。,1997b; Fontaine et al。,2015)。更具体地说, comC 和 comS 编码信息素,而 comD 编码组氨酸激酶和 comE 和 comR 编码响应调节器(Håvarstein et al。,1995; ...
