Abstract

A new type of system is made for determination of chemical pollutants in the air--indicator tubes with noncylindrical indicator filling--a subject of invention. The effect of the noncylindrical form on the metrological characteristics of the indicator tubes is studied. The noncylindrical filling is a way to influence these characteristics without changing the chemical receipt. There are a number of advantages: increasing more of 10x the sensitivity; linearization of the logarithmic characteristics of the indication dusts; possibility to lay two contrary scales on the conical indicator tubes for sucking respectively from the one or the other side of the asymmetric indicator filling, thus realising opportunities for defining of very low or very high accuracy. A new type of sampling system is established in practice. The dependences are given graphically.

Engineering a probiotic Bacillus subtilis for acetaldehyde removal: A hag locus integration to robustly express acetaldehyde dehydrogenase.

We have addressed critical challenges in probiotic design to develop a commercially viable bacterial strain capable of removing the intestinal toxin, acetaldehyde. In this study, we report the engineering of the hag locus, a σD-dependent flagellin expression site, as a stable location for robust enzyme production. We demonstrate constitutive gene expression in relevant conditions driven by the endogenous hag promoter, following a deletion of the gene encoding a post-translational regulator of σD, FlgM, and a point mutation to abrogate the binding of the translational inhibitor CsrA. Reporter constructs demonstrate activity at the hag locus after germination, with a steady increase in heterologous expression throughout outgrowth and vegetative growth. To evaluate the chassis as a spore-based probiotic solution, we identified the physiologically relevant ethanol metabolic pathway and the subsequent accumulation of gut-derived acetaldehyde following alcohol consumption. We integrated a Cupriavidus necator aldehyde dehydrogenase gene (acoD) into the hag locus under the control of the flagellin promoter and observed a rapid reduction in acetaldehyde levels in gut-simulated conditions post-germination. This work demonstrates a promising approach for the development of genetically engineered spore-based probiotics.

A gas-inducible expression system in HEK.EBNA cells applied to controlled proliferation studies by expression of p27(Kip1).

We describe an efficient inducible gene expression system in HEK.EBNA cells, a well-established cell system for the rapid transient expression of research-tool proteins. The transgene control system of choice is the novel acetaldehyde-inducible regulation (AIR) technology, which has been shown to modulate transgene levels following exposure of cells to acetaldehyde. For application in HEK.EBNA cells, AlcR transactivator plasmids were constructed and co-expressed with the secreted alkaline phosphatase (SEAP) gene under the control of a chimeric mammalian promoter (P(AIR)) for acetaldehyde-regulated expression. Several highly inducible transactivator cell lines were established. Adjustable transgene induction by gaseous acetaldehyde led to high induction levels and tight repression in transient expression trials and in stably transfected HEK.EBNA cell lines. Thus, the AIR technology can be used for inducible expression of any desired recombinant protein in HEK.EBNA cells. A possible application for inducible gene expression is a controlled proliferation strategy. Clonal HEK.EBNA cell lines, expressing the fungal transactivator protein AlcR, were engineered for gas-adjustable expression of the cell-cycle regulator p27(Kip1). We show that expression of p27(Kip1) via transient or stable transfection led to a G1-phase specific growth arrest of HEK.EBNA cells. Furthermore, production pools engineered for gas-adjustable expression of p27(Kip1) and constitutive expression of SEAP showed enhanced productive capacity.

Acetaldehyde dissociates the PTP1B-E-cadherin-beta-catenin complex in Caco-2 cell monolayers by a phosphorylation-dependent mechanism.

Interactions between E-cadherin, beta-catenin and PTP1B (protein tyrosine phosphatase 1B) are crucial for the organization of AJs (adherens junctions) and epithelial cell-cell adhesion. In the present study, the effect of acetaldehyde on the AJs and on the interactions between E-cadherin, beta-catenin and PTP1B was determined in Caco-2 cell monolayers. Treatment of cell monolayers with acetaldehyde induced redistribution of E-cadherin and beta-catenin from the intercellular junctions by a tyrosine phosphorylation-dependent mechanism. The PTPase activity associated with E-cadherin and beta-catenin was significantly reduced and the interaction of PTP1B with E-cadherin and beta-catenin was attenuated by acetaldehyde. Acetaldehyde treatment resulted in phosphorylation of beta-catenin on tyrosine residues, and abolished the interaction of beta-catenin with E-cadherin by a tyrosine kinase-dependent mechanism. Protein binding studies showed that the treatment of cells with acetaldehyde reduced the binding of beta-catenin to the C-terminal region of E-cadherin. Pairwise binding studies using purified proteins indicated that the direct interaction between E-cadherin and beta-catenin was reduced by tyrosine phosphorylation of beta-catenin, but was unaffected by tyrosine phosphorylation of E-cadherin-C. Treatment of cells with acetaldehyde also reduced the binding of E-cadherin to GST (glutathione S-transferase)-PTP1B. The pairwise binding study showed that GST-E-cadherin-C binds to recombinant PTP1B, but this binding was significantly reduced by tyrosine phosphorylation of E-cadherin. Acetaldehyde increased the phosphorylation of beta-catenin on Tyr-331, Tyr-333, Tyr-654 and Tyr-670. These results show that acetaldehyde induces disruption of interactions between E-cadherin, beta-catenin and PTP1B by a phosphorylation-dependent mechanism.
