Investigating the human teashirt genes TSHZ2 and TSHZ3 in pancreatic and endocrine lineage commitment using genome modified human embryonic stem cells (hESC) by Eng, Shermaine Zi Hui

“…The CRISPR RNA-guided FokI-dCas9 nuclease (RFN) genome editing system was employed to create loss-of-function hESC lines. Two guide RNAs revealed successful editing in the 3’ end of TSHZ2 coding sequence while gRNAs tested for the 5’ end of TSHZ2 and for TSHZ3 were ineffective. …”

Quantum dots-siRNA nanoplexes for gene silencing in central nervous system tumor cells by Lin, Guimiao, Chen, Ting, Zou, Jinyun, Wang, Yucheng, Wang, Xiaomei, Li, Jiefeng, Huang, Qijun, Fu, Zicai, Zhao, Yingying, Lin, Marie Chia-Mi, Xu, Gaixia, Yong, Ken-Tye

“…High gene transfection efficiency (>80%) was achieved on two glioblastoma cell lines, U87 and U251. The gene expression level (49.99 ± 10.23% for U87, 43.28 ± 9.66% for U251) and protein expression level (51.58 ± 7.88% for U87, 50.69 ± 7.59% for U251) of TERT is observed to decrease substantially after transfecting the tumor cells for 48 h. …”

Crystal structure of the FK506 binding domain of plasmodium falciparum FKBP35 in complex with FK506 by Kotaka, Masayo, Ye, Hong, Alag, Reema, Hu, Guangan, Bozdech, Zbynek, Preiser, Peter Rainer, Yoon, Ho Sup, Lescar, Julien

“…Compared to the human FKBP12−FK506 complex reported earlier, the structure reveals structural differences in the β5−β6 segment that lines the FK506 binding site. The presence in PfFKBD of Cys-106 and Ser-109 (substituting for His-87 and Ile-90, respectively, in human FKBP12), which are 4−5 Å from the nearest atom of the FK506 compound, suggests possible routes for the rational design of analogues of FK506 with specific antiparasitic activity. …”

Antifungal efficacy of kenaf seed peptides mixture in cheese, safety assessment and unravelling its action mechanism against food spoilage fungi by Arulrajah, Brisha, Qoms, Mohammed S., Muhialdin, Belal J., Zarei, Mohammad, Hussin, Anis Shobirin Meor, Hasan, Hanan, Chau, De-Ming, Ramasamy, Rajesh, Saari, Nazamid

“…The safety assessment showed that KSPM maintained the proliferation of normal cell lines up to 30 mg/mL. The cell surface potential energy and hydrophobicity of fungi were altered due to the potent interactions between the peptides and the cell envelope, with KSPM causing significant fungal cell wall permeability and subsequent disruption of the cytoplasmic membrane integrity. …”
