禾谷炭疽菌内吞相关蛋白找寻及其生物信息学

真菌通过内吞的质膜变形运动将细胞以外的物质转运到细胞内,有关植物病原丝状真菌中内吞作用相关蛋白及其特征研究尚不多见,对其发挥内吞作用的NPFxD相关蛋白尚未见报道.运用内吞作用关键词在NCBI数据库中搜索,同时,以模式生物构巢曲霉中NPFxD蛋白序列为基础,通过Blastp开展在线比对分析,明确禾谷炭疽菌中具有NPFxD基序的蛋白有6个,根据同源关系分别命名为CgTPO1、CgMYO2、CgCRN3、CgNPF4、CgGBP5和CgTRM6;并从跨膜、保守结构域、亚细胞定位、理化性质以及信号肽、二级结构等方面对上述蛋白开展生物信息学分析.结果表明,不同跨膜预测软件结果并不相同,保守结构域种类较多且缺少同一类结构域,蛋白亚细胞定位位置多样且不尽相同,尤以G、A氨基酸残基所占比例最高,仅CgNPF4具有明显的信号肽,而CgMYO2蛋白具有比例相对高的α螺旋结构.此外,通过遗传关系分析明确了禾谷炭疽菌中NPFxD蛋白和炭疽菌属病菌具有较高的同源性和较近的亲缘关系,为深入探索NPFxD基序蛋白在炭疽病中的功能奠定了坚实的理论基础.

Bioinformatical study on the proteomics and evolution of SARS-CoV

A novel coronavirus has been identified as the causative agent of the severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS). For all the SARS-CoV associated proteins derivated from the SARS-CoV genome, the physiochemical properties such as the molecular weight, isoelectric point and extinction coefficient of each protein were calculated. The transmembrane segments and subeellular localization (SubLoeation) prediction and conserved protein motifs search against database were employed to analyze the function of SARS-CoV proteins. Also, the homology protein sequence alignment and evolutionary distance matrix calculation between SARS-CoV associated proteins and the corresponding proteins of other coronaviruses were employed to identify the classification and phylogenetic relationship between SARS-CoV and other coronaviruses. The results showed that SARS-CoV is a novel coronavirus which is different from any of the three previously known groups of coronviruses, but it is closer to BoCoV and MHV than to other coronaviruses. This study is in aid of experimental determination of SARS-CoV proteomics and the development of antiviral vaccine.

Enhanced skin anti-inflammatory and moisturizing action of gold nanoparticles produced utilizing Diospyros kaki fruit extracts

Inflammatory skin diseases (ISD) cause very severe itchy skin and dryness which is now a days an important issue which has to be taken care. Nanotechnology plays a main role in manufacturing cosmetic ingredients at a nanoscale size. Among different nanoparticles, gold (Au) is one of the non-toxic materials synthesized organically or inorganically. For synthesizing nanoparticles (NPs), using inorganic methods may cause some toxicity to cells, but using organic synthesis like plant extract is less toxic and environmentally friendly. Therefore, we synthesized DK-AuNPs using Diospyros kaki fruit extract. UPLC-MS/MS was used to evaluate phytochemicals responsible for converting salt into nanoparticles. The DK-AuNPs were characterized to confirm the formation of NPs. Furthermore, we analyzed the activity of DK-AuNPs on human keratinocytes (HaCaT cells). The DK-AuNPs showed 98.2 % cell survival upto 200 µg/mL against HaCaT cells. Additionally, compared to DK treatment, DK-AuNPs therapy decreased ROS production in TNF-α/IFN-γ (T + I) stimulated HaCaT cells by 68.7 %, whereas DK treatment reduced ROS generation by 27.8 %. Moreover, the skin anti-inflammatory potential and moisturizing effect of DK-AuNPs were analyzed using HaCaT cells. Furthermore, skin inflammatory activity biomarkers were downregulated through the MAPK/NFκB signaling pathway and showed significant inhibition by DK-AuNPs. Also, the skin moisturizing biomarkers such as HAS (1–3) were upregulated and HYAL (1–2) were downregulated by PI3K/AKT/NFκB through HAS2 regulation. Therefore, skin anti-inflammatory and moisturizing activity were enhanced by treatment with DK-AuNPs. In summary, we conclude that the DK-AuNPs could be a new alternative for skin disease.     

Supramolecular interactions in some organic hydrated 2,4,6-triaminopyrimidinium carboxylate and sulfate salts

Four salts, namely, 2,4,6-triaminopyrimidinium 6-chloronicotinate dihydrate, C₄H₈N₅⁺·C₆H₃ClNO₂⁻·2H₂O, (I), 2,4,6-triaminopyrimidinediium pyridine-2,6-dicarboxylate dihydrate, C₄H₉N₅²⁺·C₇H₃NO₄²⁻·2H₂O, (II), 2,4,6-triaminopyrimidinediium sulfate monohydrate, C₄H₉N₅²⁺·SO₄²⁻·H₂O, (III), and 2,4,6-triaminopyrimidinium 3,5-dinitrobenzoate dihydrate, C₄H₈N₅⁺·C₇H₃N₂O₆⁻·2H₂O, (IV), were synthesized and characterized by X-ray diffraction techniques. Proton transfer from the corresponding acid to the pyrimidine base has occurred in all four crystal structures. Of the four salts, two [(I) and (IV)] exist as monoprotonated bases and two [(II) and (III)] exist as diprotonated bases. In all four crystal structures, the acid interacts with the pyrimidine base through N—H…O hydrogen bonds, generating an R₂²(8) ring motif. The sulfate group mimics the role of the carboxylate anions. The water molecules present in compounds (I)–(IV) form water-mediated large ring motifs. The formation of water-mediated interactions in these crystal structures can be used as a model in the study of the hydration of nucleobases. Water molecules play an important role in building supramolecular structures. In addition to these strong hydrogen-bonding interactions, some of the crystal structures are further enriched by aromatic π–π stacking interactions [(I) and (II)].     

Biological activities from andiroba (Carapa guianensis Aublet.) and its biotechnological applications: A systematic review

Carapa guianensis is a tree from Meliaceae family traditionally known as andiroba that has a wide range of biological properties, including therapeutic effects, antioxidant activities, insecticidal and repellent effects that can be used in biotechnological approaches to medicine, agriculture, and cosmetic products. Therefore, we aim to explore the biological activities exhibited by this species and their respective biotechnological applications of interest. For this, a systematic review was carried out following the PRISMA guidelines dated from 1993 to 2022 through the Scopus, Web of Science and Agricultural Research Database (Base de Dados da Pesquisa Agropecuária - BDPA), screened for biological activity/bioactive compounds. A total of 129 studies were included in the PRISMA flow analysis. Biological properties and major bioactive compounds, as well as biotechnological approaches could be identified. The biological activity from C. guianensis could be observed in different vegetative parts through diverse methods of extractions. These activities are mainly due to the unsaturated fatty acids and bioactive compounds, such as the limonoids and a small fraction of phenolic compounds. Gedunin-type limonoids, like gedunin and its derivatives, represent the class of compounds that show the highest bioactivities in different applications.
