Analysis of Autophagic Activity Using ATG8 Lipidation Assay in Arabidopsis thaliana

[Abstract]  As a fundamental metabolic pathway to degrade and recycle cellular cargos, autophagy is highly induced upon stress, starvation and senescence conditions in plants. A double-membrane structure named autophagosome will form during this process for cargo sequestration and delivery into the vacuole.

A number of regulators have been characterized in plants, including the autophagy-related (ATG) proteins and other plant-specific proteins. Among them, ATG8 will undergo a lipidation process to become a membrane-bound ATG8-phosphatidylethanolamine form and mark the growing autophagosomal membrane as well as the completed autophagosome. Therefore, ATG8 has been regarded as a marker for autophagosomes; and biochemical detection of the membrane-associated form of ATG8 is used as one of ...
[摘要]  作为降解和回收细胞货物的基本代谢途径,自噬在植物的胁迫,饥饿和衰老条件下被高度诱导。 在这个过程中,将形成一个称为自噬体的双膜结构,用于货物隔离和输送到液泡中。

已经在植物中表征了许多调控因子,包括自噬相关(ATG)蛋白和其他植物特异性蛋白。 其中,ATG8将经历脂化过程以成为膜结合的ATG8-磷脂酰乙醇胺形式并标记日益增长的自噬体膜以及完成的自噬体。 因此,ATG8被认为是自噬体的标志; 并且膜结合形式的ATG8的生物化学检测被用作测量自噬活性的主要方法之一。 在这里,我们描述了使用拟南芥幼苗检测ATG8-PE形式的ATG8脂化测定法。

【背景】自噬是调节受损细胞器的大量降解和不需要的细胞内容物的基本代谢过程。在自噬过程中,称为自噬体的双膜结构将形成并将货物递送到液泡中以降解。自噬相关蛋白(ATG)需要调节自噬活性(Liu and ...

Characterizing the Transcriptional Effects of Endolysin Treatment on Established Biofilms of Staphylococcus aureus

[Abstract]  Biofilms are the most common lifestyle of bacteria in both natural and human environments. The organized structure of these multicellular communities generally protects bacterial cells from external challenges, thereby enhancing their ability to survive treatment with antibiotics or disinfectants. For this reason, the search for new antibiofilm strategies is an active field of study. In this context, bacteriophages (viruses that infect bacteria) and their derived proteins have been proposed as promising alternatives for eliminating biofilms. For instance, endolysins can degrade peptidoglycan and, ultimately, lyse the target bacterial cells. However, it is important to characterize the responses of bacterial cells exposed to these compounds in order to improve the design of phage-based ... [摘要]  生物膜是自然和人类环境中最常见的细菌生活方式。这些多细胞社区的有组织结构通常保护细菌细胞免受外部挑战,从而增强其抗生素或消毒剂治疗的生存能力。为此,寻找新的抗菌膜策略是一个积极的研究领域。在这种情况下,已提出噬菌体(感染细菌的病毒)及其衍生蛋白作为消除生物膜的有希望的替代物。例如,内溶素可降解肽聚糖,并最终裂解靶细菌细胞。然而,表征暴露于这些化合物的细菌细胞的反应以改进基于噬菌体的抗微生物策略的设计是重要的。

如以前在Fernández等人(2017)中所描述的,开发该协议以检查暴露于内溶素处理的金黄色葡萄球菌生物膜细胞的转录反应。然而,它可能随后适用于分析其他微生物对不同抗菌剂的反应。

【背景】越来越清楚的是,亚抑制剂量的抗菌剂可能对目标微生物的不同表型具有调节作用,包括生物膜形成,代谢或毒力。因此,研究新化合物对低浓度靶细胞的潜在影响应该是发展过程的一部分。事实上,引发毒力因子或抗生素耐药决定簇产生的非常有效的抗菌剂可能不是治疗应用的良好候选者。另一方面,考虑到生物膜和浮游细胞之间的生理差异,应该对生物膜形成细胞分析新抗生物膜剂的作用似乎是合乎逻辑的。在这里,我们描述了一种协议,用于分析生物膜细胞在亚抑制浓度的内抑素浓度下的转录反应,噬菌体来源的蛋白质作为生物膜去除剂展现出巨大的前景。因此,通过RNA-seq将内溶素处理的细胞的转录组与对照细胞进行比较,并且后来通过RT-qPCR证实了所选基因的差异表达。 ...
