Intestinal ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury has high morbidity and mortality rates. Gut microbiota is a potential key factor affecting intestinal I/R injury. Populations exhibit different sensitivities to injury; however, whether this interpopulation difference related variation in gut unclear. Here, elucidate the interaction between microbiome injury, we performed 16S DNA sequencing on preoperative feces of C57BL/6 mice fecal transplantation (FMT) experiments germ-free mice. The transwell...

The development of a controllable reactive nitrogen species (RNS) generation system for cancer treatment has remained elusive. Herein, supramolecular prodrug nanoassemblies (SPNA) strategy that co-delivers nitric oxide (NO) donor and superoxide anion (O2•–) inducing chemotherapeutic agent was reported RNS-potentiated chemotherapy. mole ratio platinum(IV) NO could be precisely tailored in SPNAPt/NO. Platinum(II) would released intracellularly to produce highly toxic RNS, peroxynitrite...

Proper perception of the extracellular insoluble cellulose is key to initiating rapid synthesis cellulases by cellulolytic Trichoderma reesei. Uptake soluble oligosaccharides derived from hydrolysis represents a potential point control in induced cascade. In this study, we identified major facilitator superfamily sugar transporter Stp1 capable transporting cellobiose reconstructing assimilation system Saccharomyces cerevisiae. The absence T. reesei resulted differential response Avicel...

Long-term strain improvements through repeated mutagenesis and screening have generated a hyper-producer of cellulases hemicellulases from Penicillium decumbens 114 which was isolated 30 years ago. Here, the genome P. JU-A10-T sequenced compared with that wild-type 114-2. Further, transcriptomes secretomes were between strains. Selective hyper-production but not all secreted proteins observed in mutant, making it more specific producer lignocellulolytic enzymes. Functional analysis...

Summary Cellulase gene expression in the model cellulolytic fungus Trichoderma reesei is supposed to be controlled by an intricate regulatory network involving multiple transcription factors. Here, we identified a novel transcriptional repressor of cellulase expression, Rce1. Disruption rce1 not only facilitated induced genes but also led significant delay terminating induction process. However, Rce1 did participate Cre1‐mediated catabolite repression. Electrophoretic mobility shift (EMSA)...

Trichoderma reesei represents an important workhorse for industrial production of cellulases as well other proteins. The large-scale is usually performed in a substrate-inducing manner achieved by fine-tuned cooperation suite transcription factors. Their and subsequent analysis are, however, often either difficult to manipulate or complicated the concomitant inducible Alternatives control gene expression independent nutritional state are thus preferred some cases facilitate not only...

ABSTRACT Appropriate perception of cellulose outside the cell by transforming it into an intracellular signal ensures rapid production cellulases cellulolytic Hypocrea jecorina . The major extracellular β-glucosidase BglI (CEL3a) has been shown to contribute efficient induction cellulase genes. Multiple β-glucosidases belonging glycosyl hydrolase (GH) family 3 and 1, however, exist in H. Here we demonstrated that CEL1b, like CEL1a, was displaying vitro transglycosylation activity. We then...

Cell death is an important biological process that believed to have a central role in intestinal ischaemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury. While the apoptosis inhibition pivotal preventing I/R, how necrotic cell regulated remains unknown. Necroptosis represents newly discovered form of programmed combines features both and necrosis, it has been implicated development range inflammatory diseases. Here, we show receptor-interacting protein 1/3 (RIP1/3) kinase mixed lineage domain-like recruitment...

(+)-Nootkatone is a highly valued sesquiterpenoid compound, exhibiting typical grapefruit aroma and various desired biological activities for use as aromatics pharmaceuticals. The high commercial demand of (+)-nootkatone predominately met by chemical synthesis, which entails the environmentally harmful reagents. Efficient synthesis via biotechnological approaches thus urgently needed to satisfy its industrial demand. However, there are only limited number studies that report de novo from...

Saprotrophy on plant biomass is a recently developed nutrition strategy for Trichoderma. However, the physiology and evolution of this new still elusive. We report deep sequencing analysis genome Trichoderma longibrachiatum, an efficient cellulase producer. The 31.7-Mb genome, smallest among sequenced species, encodes fewer nutrition-related genes than saprotrophic T. reesei (Tr), including glycoside hydrolases nonribosomal peptide synthetase–polyketide synthase. Homology phylogenetic...
