Lactobacillus reuteri ZJ617 attenuates metabolic syndrome via microbiota-derived spermidine by Yanfei Ma, Yifan Zhong, Wenjie Tang, Teresa G. Valencak, Jingliang Liu, Zhaoxi Deng, Jiangdi Mao, Daren Liu, Shanshan Wang, Yuhao Wang, Haifeng Wang

“…L. reuteri ZJ617 serves as a source of substrates for the microbiota to synthesize spermidine, hence preventing the decline of bacteria responsible for spermidine production. Spermidine treatment mimics the metabolic effects of L. reuteri ZJ617, whereas pharmacological inhibition of spermidine biosynthesis in mice abolishes these benefits. …”

Employing plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria for abiotic stress mitigation in plants: with a focus on drought stress by Sourav Chattaraj, Aurodeepa Samantaray, Arindam Ganguly, Hrudayanath Thatoi

“…PGPR contribute to stress tolerance through various mechanisms, including the production of phytohormones, such as indole-3-acetic acid, enhancement of nutrient uptake, and modulation of plant stress responses. These bacteria can improve soil structure, increase water retention, and promote the synthesis of osmoprotectants, which helps plants withstand drought conditions. …”

Determination of Dissociation Constants for the Interaction of Myosin-5a with its Cargo Protein Using Microscale Thermophoresis (MST) by Rui Zhou, Jiabin Pan, Xiang-Dong Li

“…In this protocol, we present a method for using MST to determine the dissociation constants of Myo5a-MTD and Mlph-ABD, which were purified through overexpression in bacteria using affinity chromatography. The dissociation constant values obtained directly reflect the binding strength between these two proteins and provide a foundation for the isolation and purification of the complex in the future.…”
