Enteric Escherichia coli survives the highly acidic environment of stomach through multiple acid resistance (AR) mechanisms. The most effective system, AR2, decarboxylates externally-derived glutamate to remove cytoplasmic protons and excrete GABA. first described AR1, does not require an external amino acid. Its mechanism has been determined. regulation AR systems their coordination with broader cellular metabolism fully explored.We utilized a combination ChIP-Seq gene expression analysis...
Abstract Bacteria are an enormous and largely untapped reservoir of biosensing proteins. We describe approach to identify isolate bacterial allosteric transcription factors (aTFs) that recognize a target analyte develop these TFs into biosensor devices. Our utilizes combination genomic screens functional assays TFs, quantum-dot Förster Resonance Energy Transfer (FRET) strategy for transducing recognition real-time quantitative measurements. use this progesterone-sensing aTF TF optical sensor...
Single-chain fragment variable (scFv) domains play an important role in antibody-based therapeutic modalities, such as bispecifics, multispecifics and chimeric antigen receptor T cells or natural killer cells. However, scFv exhibit lower stability increased risk of aggregation due to transient dissociation ("breathing") inter-molecular reassociation the two (VL VH). We designed a novel strategy, referred stapling, that introduces disulfide bonds between linker minimize breathing. named...
Our understanding of the regulation gene expression has benefited from availability high-throughput technologies that interrogate whole genome for binding specific transcription factors and profiles. In case widely used model organisms, such as Escherichia coli K-12, new knowledge gained these approaches needs to be integrated with legacy accumulated genetic molecular biology experiments conducted in pre-genomic era order attain deepest level possible based on available data.In this paper,...
Phosphorothioate (PT) DNA modifications—in which a nonbonding phosphate oxygen is replaced with sulfur—represent widespread, horizontally transferred epigenetic system in prokaryotes and have highly unusual property of occupying only small fraction available consensus sequences genome. Using Salmonella enterica as model, we asked question fundamental importance: How do the PT-modifying DndA-E proteins select their G PS AAC/G TTC targets? Here, applied innovative analytical, sequencing,...
The DNA binding of most Escherichia coli Transcription Factors (TFs) has not been comprehensively mapped, and few have models that can quantitatively predict affinity. We report the global mapping in vivo for 139 E. TFs using ChIP-Seq. use these data to train BoltzNet, a novel neural network predicts TF energy from sequence. BoltzNet mirrors quantitative biophysical model provides directly interpretable predictions genome-wide at nucleotide resolution. design sites, which we validate with...

L’analyse des usages d’amulettes ( patuás et mandingas ) dans la capoeira montre que ces formes du souci de soi renvoient aux techniques fabrication corps propres rites candomblé . Scarifié ouvert, pour être « fermé » protégé, le corpo fechado afro-brésilien est appréhendé en dehors clivages dualistes (âme/corps, contenu/contenant). Dans l’univers afro-brésilien, notion clôture se décline ainsi comme mise œuvre frontières.
Cet article se propose d'analyser la divination dans le Candomblé, religion brésilienne d'origine africaine, non pas à travers les seules données recueillies entretiens hors contexte avec des devins, mais aussi partir de description d'une séance comme situation communicationnelle. Il apparaît alors que logique divinatoire répond moins nécessité conférer un sens au désordre qu'à celle reconfigurer, par procédures pragmatiques, biographie du consultant. Le devin ne « devine » rien, consultant...
