Constructing the constitutively active ribosomal protein S6 kinase 2 from <i>Arabidopsis thaliana</i> (AtRPS6K2) and testing its activity <i>in vitro</i> by A. V. Zhigailov, G. E. Stanbekova, D. K. Beisenov, A. S. Nizkorodova, N. S. Polimbetova, B. K. Iskakov

“…In Arabidopsis thaliana, AtRPS6 is phosphorylated by kinase AtRPS6K2, which should in turn be phosphorylated by upper level kinases (AtPDK1 – at serine (S) 296, AtTOR – at threonine (T) 455 and S437) for full activation. We have cloned AtRPS6K2 cDNA gene and carried out in vitro mutagenesis replacing codons encoding S296, S437 and T455 by triplets of phosphomimetic glutamic acid (E). …”

Phage-mediated virulence loss and antimicrobial susceptibility in carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae by Yanshuang Yu, Mengzhu Wang, Liuying Ju, Minchun Li, Mengshi Zhao, Hui Deng, Christopher Rensing, Qiu E. Yang, Shungui Zhou

“…Specifically, Kp2092 rapidly developed resistance to phages through mutations in a key phage receptor (galU) and bacterial membrane defenses such as LPS synthesis, however, this evolution coincides with unexpected benefits. Evolved bacterial clones not only exhibited increased sensitivity to clinically important antibiotics but also displayed a loss of virulence in an in-vivo model. …”
