In the present work, we used systematic engineering at transport and transcription levels to significantly enhance alkaline α-amylase production in Bacillus subtilis 168M. Signal peptide YwbN' proved to be optimal. Alkaline α-amylase production was elevated by deleting a putative peptide segment of YwbN'. Insertion of arginine (R) between residues 5 and 6 of YwbN'∆p further increased the protein yield. Enhancing positive charges at sites 4 and 10 and decreasing the hydrophobicity of the H-region of YwbN'∆p were critical for improving alkaline α-amylase production in B. subtilis 168M. PHpaII was the optimal promoter, and deleting - 27T or - 31A from PHpaII enhanced the transcription of the target gene. Using a single-pulse feeding-based fed-batch system, alkaline α-amylase activity of B. subtilis 168M P∆-27T was increased by 250.6-fold, compared with B. subtilis 168M A1.Recently, substantial levels of acidic D-amino acids, such as D-aspartate and D-glutamate, have been identified in many organisms, from bacteria to mammals, suggesting that acidic D-amino acids have multiple physiological significances. Although acidic D-amino acids found in animals primarily originate from foodstuffs and/or bacteria, the D-aspartate-synthesizing enzyme aspartate racemase is identified in various animals. In eukaryotic organisms, acidic D-amino acids are primarily degraded by the flavoenzyme D-aspartate oxidase (DDO). DDO is found in multiple eukaryotic organisms and may play important roles in acidic D-amino acid utilization, elimination, and intracellular level regulation. Moreover, owing to its perfect enantioselectivity and stereoselectivity, DDO may be a valuable tool in several biotechnological applications, including the identification and quantification of acidic D-amino acids. In this mini-review, previous DDO reports are summarized and the potential bioengineering and biotechnological applications of DDO are discussed. Key Points ・Occurrence and distribution ofd-aspartate oxidase. ・Fundamental properties of d -aspartate oxidase of various eukaryotic organisms. ・Biotechnological applications and potential engineering ofd-aspartate oxidase.Milbemycins and their semisynthetic derivatives are recognized as effective and eco-friendly pesticides, whereas the high price limits their widespread applications in agriculture. One of the pivotal questions is the accumulation of milbemycin-like by-products, which not only reduces the yield of the target products milbemycin A3/A4, but also brings difficulty to the purification. With other analogous by-products abolished, α9/α10 and β-family milbemycins remain to be eliminated. Herein, we solved these issues by engineering of post-modification steps. First, Cyp41, a CYP268 family cytochrome P450, was identified to participate in α9/α10 biosynthesis. By deleting cyp41, milbemycin α9/α10 was eliminated with an increase of milbemycin A3/A4 titer from 2382.5 ± 55.7 mg/L to 2625.6 ± 64.5 mg/L. Then, MilE, a CYP171 family cytochrome P450, was determined to be responsible for the generation of the furan ring between C6 and C8a of milbemycins. By further overexpression of milE, the production of β-family milbemycins was reduced by 77.2%. Finally, the titer of milbemycin A3/A4 was increased by 53.1% to 3646.9 ± 69.9 mg/L. Interestingly, overexpression of milE resulted in increased transcriptional levels of milbemycin biosynthetic genes and production of total milbemycins, which implied that the insufficient function of MilE was a limiting factor to milbemycin biosynthesis. Our research not only provides an efficient engineering strategy to improve the production of a commercially important product milbemycins, but also offers the clues for future study about transcriptional regulation of milbemycin biosynthesis.AIMS/HYPOTHESIS Previous metabolomics studies suggest that type 1 diabetes is preceded by specific metabolic disturbances. The aim of this study was to investigate whether distinct metabolic patterns occur in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) of children who later develop pancreatic beta cell autoimmunity or overt type 1 diabetes. METHODS In a longitudinal cohort setting, PBMC metabolomic analysis was applied in children who (1) progressed to type 1 diabetes (PT1D, n = 34), (2) seroconverted to ≥1 islet autoantibody without progressing to type 1 diabetes (P1Ab, n = 27) or (3) remained autoantibody negative during follow-up (CTRL, n = 10). RESULTS During the first year of life, levels of most lipids and polar metabolites were lower in the PT1D and P1Ab groups compared with the CTRL group. Pathway over-representation analysis suggested alanine, aspartate, glutamate, glycerophospholipid and sphingolipid metabolism were over-represented in PT1D. Genome-scale metabolic models of PBMCs during type 1 diabetes progression were developed by using publicly available transcriptomics data and constrained with metabolomics data from our study. Metabolic modelling confirmed altered ceramide pathways, known to play an important role in immune regulation, as specifically associated with type 1 diabetes progression. https://www.selleckchem.com/products/rk-701.html CONCLUSIONS/INTERPRETATION Our data suggest that systemic dysregulation of lipid metabolism, as observed in plasma, may impact the metabolism and function of immune cells during progression to overt type 1 diabetes. DATA AVAILABILITY The GEMs for PBMCs have been submitted to BioModels (www.ebi.ac.uk/biomodels/), under accession number MODEL1905270001. The metabolomics datasets and the clinical metadata generated in this study were submitted to MetaboLights (https//www.ebi.ac.uk/metabolights/), under accession number MTBLS1015.BACKGROUND Spine surgery is a demanding surgical specialty which requires surgeons to operate for hours on end, often compromising good posture. Sustained poor posture in the operating room (OR) can be the source of many adverse health effects on spine surgeons. This study will analyze posture of a spine surgeon in different types of spine surgery cases. METHODS Posture of a surgeon was measured using the UPRIGHT Posture Training Device. The device was worn by the surgeon in the OR through a wide variety of spine surgery cases. RESULTS The percent time spent slouched while performing cervical, adult deformity, and lumbar spine surgeries is 39.9, 58.9, and 38.6, respectively. For all surgeries recorded, the percent time slouched is 41.6. The average procedure time was 145.3 min, with adult deformity cases on average being the longest (245.6 min) followed by cervical (152.9 min) and then lumbar (122.5 min). CONCLUSION Poor posture while operating is very likely to occur for many spine surgeons regardless of case type.
