MetabolomicsPlasmid-encoded toxin defence mediates mutualistic microbial interactions

Gut environments harbour dense microbial ecosystems in which plasmids are widely distributed. Plasmids facilitate the exchange of genetic material among microorganisms while enabling the transfer of a diverse array of accessory functions. However, their precise impact on microbial community compo...

MetabolomicsSeed Metabolome Analysis of a Transgenic Rice Line Expressing Cholera Toxin B-subunit
Rice (Oryza sativa L.) is a candidate crop for production of plant-based vaccines by genetic engineering technologies. MucoRice-CTB has been developed as a rice-seed-based vaccine against cholera by transgenic expression of modified cholera toxin B-subunit (CTB) under the RNA interference (RNAi)-med...

MetabolomicsWe characterize the anti-phage function of a type IV TA system, ShosTA toxin-antitoxin system provides phage defense via DNA damage and repair
Widespread in bacteria and archaea, Toxin-antitoxin (TA) systems have been recently demonstrated to function in phage defense. Here we characterize the anti-phage function of a type IV TA system, ShosTA. Using structural and biochemical approaches, we show that ShosT couples phosphoribosyltransferas...

MetabolomicsBlocking Toxin function and Modulating Gut Microbiota: Caffeic Acid and its Derivatives as Potential Treatments for Clostridioides difficile Infections

Clostridioides difficile infection (CDI) is the leading cause of hospital-acquired diarrhea that seriously threaten public health. Disruption of normal gut microbiota by the use of broad-spectrum antimicrobial agents enables C. difficile to proliferate in the colon. The emergence and prevalence o...

TranscriptomicsTranscription profiling of human cells treated with Bacillus anthracis lethal toxin (LT)-intoxicated HUVECs monolayers
We have analyzed the variation of transcriptome of HUVECs intoxicated by the lethal toxin of Bacillus anthracis at 4 and 8 hours Experiment Overall Design: Three experimental conditions with two biological replicates for the control condition corresponding to untreated HUVEC monolayer. RNA were extr...

TranscriptomicsReceptors are affected by selection with each Bacillus thuringiensis israelensis Cry toxin but not with the full Bti mixture in Aedes aegypti
Bacillus thuringiensis israelensis (Bti) toxins are increasingly used for mosquito control, but little is known about the precise mode of action of each of these toxins, and how they interact to kill mosquito larvae. By using RNA sequencing, we investigated change in gene transcription level and pol...

TranscriptomicsRNA-seq for identifying toxin MazF and MqsR cleavage sites in toxin expression and subsequent recovery cultures of Escherichia coli (mRNA and ncRNA excluding rRNA)
Bacterial toxin-antitoxin systems are thought to help bacteria to reduce their metabolism in various stressful conditions. Many toxins of the bacterial toxin-antitoxin systems are ribonucleases. Such toxins have been mostly viewed as degraders of mRNA, however recently it was demonstrated that they ...

TranscriptomicsTotal and cholera toxin B-tetramer specific T cells from Peyer's patches and mesenteric lymph nodes
T cells were separately isolated from MLN and PP from two naive mice, and T cells binding to a cholera toxin B subunit specific MHC II tetramer from mice orally immunized with cholera toxin 7 days or boosted 5 days with a second dose of cholera toxin. Cells were purified using flow cytometric cell s...
