Abstract

The physical and physiologic properties of serum, milk and cellular FABP have been presented. Several investigators have shown that FABP with similar characteristics is present throughout the body fluids and tissue. Thus, FABP appears to be established as a protein which can significantly influence folate metabolism.

Time-resolved transcriptomics of S. cerevisiae and S. pastorianus in response to plasma membrane stresses.

Yeasts are beneficial microorganisms for human society and are utilized for academic and industrial purposes. For academic purposes, S. cerevisiae is a well-investigated model for studying eukaryotic cellular processes. For industrial purposes, S. pastorianus, which has a hybrid genome of S. cerevisiae and S. eubayanus, has been served for lager beer production. During fermentation, S. pastorianus produces ~7% of EtOH, which induces plasma membrane (PM)/cell wall stress in yeast. Therefore, S. pastorianus may experience PM stress and adapt to the self-forming environment during fermentation. However, how yeast adapts to PM stress remains unclear. Here, we investigated the temporal cellular responses of S. cerevisiae and S. pastorianus during adaptation to PM stresses by time-resolved mRNA-seq analysis. Our data showed different transcriptional phenotypes between S. cerevisiae and S. pastorianus during adaptation. The results may reflect the distinct nature of the two yeasts that have evolved in different nutritional environments. The dataset presented here would provide a promising resource for studying the characteristic nature of these differentially domesticated yeasts upon PM stresses.

Processing of DNase domain during translocation of colicin E7 across the membrane of Escherichia coli.

Translocation of colicin across the membrane of sensitive cells has been studied extensively. However, processing of the toxicity domain of colicin during translocation has been the subject of much controversy. To investigate the final translocation product of colicin across the membrane of Escherichia coli, an endogenously expressed His-tagged Im7 protein was constructed to detect any translocation product containing the DNase domain traversed the inner membrane into cytoplasm of the E. coli cells. As a result, a final processed DNase domain of ColE7 was identified in the intracellular space of the cells treated with Col-Im complex. In the presence of periplasmic extracts, in vitro processing of DNase domain of ColE7 was also observed. These results suggest that the processing of ColE7 has occurred for translocation of the DNase-type colicin across the membrane and the process is probably taking place in the periplasmic space of the membrane.
