  6. Genotoxic, metabolic, and oxidative stresses regulate the RNA repair operon of Salmonella

    • Journal of Bacteriology

    • The 54 regulon in Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium includes a predicted RNA repair operon, encoding homologs of the metazoan Ro60 protein (Rsr), Y RNAs (YrlBA), RNA ligase (RtcB), and RNA 3'-phosphate cyclase (RtcA). Transcription from 54-dependent promoters requires that a cognate bacterial enhancer binding protein (bEBP) be activated by a specific environmental or cellular signal; the cognate bEBP for the 54-dependent promoter of the rsr-yrlBA-rtcBA operon is RtcR.

  13. [ASAP] Magnetic Separation-Based Multiple SELEX for Effectively Selecting Aptamers against Saxitoxin, Domoic Acid, and Tetrodotoxin

    • Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry

    • In this study, a novel magnetic separation-based multiple systematic evolution of ligands by exponential enrichment (SELEX) was applied to select aptamers simultaneously against three kinds of marine biotoxins, including domoic acid (DA), saxitoxin (STX), and tetrodotoxin (TTX). Magnetic reduced graphene oxide (MRGO) was prepared to adsorb unbound ssDNAs and simplify the separation step.
