Inflammasomes are sensory complexes that alert the immune system to presence of infection or tissue damage. These assemble NLR (nucleotide binding and oligomerization, leucine-rich repeat) ALR (absent in melanoma 2-like receptor) proteins activate caspase-1 cleavage interleukin (IL)-1β/IL-18 secretion. Here, we identified a non-NLR/ALR human protein stimulates inflammasome assembly: guanylate 5 (GBP5). GBP5 promoted selective NLRP3 responses pathogenic bacteria soluble but not crystalline...
The main obstacle for sustained supply of agricultural products and feeding the globe in coming years is abiotic stress. Plants typically shorten their developmental processes under stress, which eventually has a negative impact on production. A key phytohormone that plays crucial role combating stress abscisic acid (ABA). ABA significant absorbing signals guiding subsequent responses. For an outcome, plants must consistently control levels response to shifting environmental factors. In...
All living organisms deploy cell-autonomous defenses to combat infection. In plants and animals, large supramolecular complexes often activate immune proteins for protection. this work, we resolved the native structure of a massive host-defense complex that polymerizes 30,000 guanylate-binding (GBPs) over surface gram-negative bacteria inside human cells. Construction giant nanomachine took several minutes remained stable hours, required guanosine triphosphate hydrolysis, recruited four GBPs...
The microbial biotransformation using low-cost feedstock to produce biopolymers (degradable), an alternative petrochemical-based synthesis plastics (non-degradable), can be a beneficial approach towards sustainable development. In this study, the dairy industry processes waste (whey) is used in polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA) copolymer production. Initial screening suggested that Ralstonia eutropha produced higher PHA as compared Bacillus megaterium. A central composite rotatable design-based...
Phosphate solubilizing bacteria NBRI0603, NBRI2601, NBRI3246 and NBRI4003 were isolated from the rhizosphere of chickpea alkaline soils. All four strains demonstrated diverse levels phosphate solubilization activity under in vitro conditions presence various carbon nitrogen sources. Acid production may have contributed to solubilization, but was not only reason for release into medium. Among strains, NBRI2601 most efficient strain terms its capability solubilize phosphorus 10% salt, pH 12,...
Carvacrol is present abundantly in the essential oils of many medicinal plants and well known for its numerous biological activities. Since partial solubility water physicochemical instability limits industrial uses, study was performed to prepare a carvacrol nanoemulsion (CANE) using an ultrasonication technique further evaluation anticancer potential against human lung adenocarcinoma A549 cells. The formulation optimized by varying polysorbate 80 ratios characterized dynamic light...
