Pseudomonas aeruginosa is one of the leading causes of nosocomial infections and has become increasingly resistant to multiple antibiotics. However, development of novel classes of antibacterial agents against multidrug-resistant P. aeruginosa is extremely difficult. Herein we develop a semisynthetic oligomannuronic acid-based glycoconjugate vaccine that confers broad protection against infections of both mucoid and nonmucoid strains of P. aeruginosa. The well-defined glycoconjugate vaccine formulated with Freund’s adjuvant (FA) employing a highly conserved antigen elicited a strong and specific immune response and protected mice against both mucoid and nonmucoid strains of P. aeruginosa. The resulting antibodies recognized different strains of P. aeruginosa and mediated the opsonic killing of the bacteria at varied levels depending on the amount of alginate expressed on the surface of the strains. Vaccination with the glycoconjugate vaccine plus FA significantly promoted the pulmonary and blood clearance of the mucoid PAC1 strain of P. aeruginosa and considerably improved the survival rates of mice against the nonmucoid PAO1 strain of P. aeruginosa. Thus, the semisynthetic glycoconjugate is a promising vaccine that may provide broad protection against both types of P. aeruginosa.

铜绿假单胞菌是造成医院内感染的主要原因之一,而且对多种抗生素的耐药性越来越强。然而,开发针对耐多药铜绿假单胞菌的新型抗菌剂极其困难。在此,我们开发了一种基于低聚甘露糖醛酸的半合成糖结合疫苗,该疫苗能对粘液和非粘液铜绿假单胞菌菌株的感染产生广泛的保护作用。用弗罗因德佐剂(Freund's adjuvant,FA)配制的定义明确的糖结合疫苗采用了高度保守的抗原,能引起强烈的特异性免疫反应,保护小鼠免受铜绿假单胞菌粘液菌株和非粘液菌株的感染。由此产生的抗体能识别不同的铜绿假单胞菌菌株,并根据菌株表面藻酸盐的表达量,以不同的水平介导对细菌的杀灭。接种糖结合疫苗加 FA 能显著促进肺部和血液对铜绿假单胞菌粘液 PAC1 株的清除,并大大提高小鼠对铜绿假单胞菌非粘液 PAO1 株的存活率。因此,半合成糖结合物是一种很有前景的疫苗,可为两种类型的铜绿假单胞菌提供广泛的保护。

Adenosine-to-inosine (A-to-I) editing is one of the most widespread post-transcriptional RNA modifications and is catalyzed by adenosine deaminases acting on RNA (ADARs). Varying across tissue types, A-to-I editing is essential for numerous biological functions, and dysregulation leads to autoimmune and neurological disorders, as well as cancer. Recent evidence has also revealed a link between RNA localization and A-to-I editing, yet understanding of the mechanisms underlying this relationship and its biological impact remains limited. Current methods rely primarily on in vitro characterization of extracted RNA that ultimately erases subcellular localization and cell-to-cell heterogeneity. To address these challenges, we have repurposed endonuclease V (EndoV), a magnesium-dependent ribonuclease that cleaves inosine bases in edited RNA, to selectively bind and detect A-to-I edited RNA in cells. The work herein introduces an endonuclease V immunostaining assay (EndoVIA), a workflow that provides spatial visualization of edited transcripts, enables rapid quantification of overall inosine abundance, and maps the landscape of A-to-I editing within the transcriptome at the nanoscopic level.
EndoVIA detects adenosine-to-inosine editing in cells, providing spatial visualization and quantification of overall inosine abundance with nanoscale resolution.
腺苷-肌苷(A-to-I)编辑是最广泛的转录后 RNA 修饰之一,由作用于 RNA 的腺苷脱氨酶(ADARs)催化。不同组织类型的 A 到 I 编辑对多种生物功能至关重要,失调会导致自身免疫和神经系统疾病以及癌症。最近的证据还揭示了 RNA 定位与 A 到 I 编辑之间的联系,但人们对这种关系的内在机制及其生物学影响的了解仍然有限。目前的方法主要依赖于对提取的 RNA 进行体外表征,这最终会消除亚细胞定位和细胞间的异质性。为了应对这些挑战,我们重新利用了内切核酸酶 V(EndoV)--一种依赖于镁的核糖核酸酶,它能裂解编辑过的 RNA 中的肌苷酸碱基--来选择性地结合和检测细胞中 A 到 I 编辑过的 RNA。这项工作介绍了一种内切酶 V 免疫染色测定(EndoVIA),它是一种工作流程,可提供编辑转录本的空间可视化,实现整体肌苷丰度的快速量化,并在纳米级水平上绘制转录本组中 A 到 I 编辑的图谱。

Detoxification of heme in Plasmodium depends on its crystallization into hemozoin. This pathway is a major target of antimalarial drugs. The crystalline structure of hemozoin was established by X-ray powder diffraction using a synthetic analog, β-hematin. Here, we apply emerging methods of in situ cryo-electron tomography and 3D electron diffraction to obtain a definitive structure of hemozoin directly from ruptured parasite cells. Biogenic hemozoin crystals take a striking polar morphology. Like β-hematin, the unit cell contains a heme dimer, which may form four distinct stereoisomers: two centrosymmetric and two chiral enantiomers. Diffraction analysis, supported by density functional theory analysis, reveals a selective mixture in the hemozoin lattice of one centrosymmetric and one chiral dimer. Absolute configuration has been determined by morphological analysis and confirmed by a novel method of exit-wave reconstruction from a focal series. Atomic disorder appears on specific facets asymmetrically, and the polar morphology can be understood in light of water binding. Structural modeling of the heme detoxification protein suggests a function as a chiral agent to bias the dimer formation in favor of rapid growth of a single crystalline phase. The refined structure of hemozoin should serve as a guide to new drug development.
The polar shape of hemozoin crystals reflects the isomeric composition of the heme dimer in the unit cell.
疟原虫体内血红素的解毒依赖于其结晶成血色素。这一途径是抗疟药物的主要靶点。通过 X 射线粉末衍射,我们利用合成类似物 β-hematin,确定了安息香酸的晶体结构。在这里,我们应用新出现的原位低温电子断层扫描和三维电子衍射方法,直接从破裂的寄生虫细胞中获得了安息香血素的确定结构。生物造血素晶体呈现惊人的极性形态。与 β-血红素一样,其单胞包含一个血红素二聚体,可形成四种不同的立体异构体:两种中心对称异构体和两种手性对映体。在密度泛函理论分析的支持下,衍射分析揭示了血色素晶格中一种中心对称二聚体和一种手性二聚体的选择性混合物。绝对构型是通过形态分析确定的,并通过一种从焦点序列重建出口波的新方法得到了证实。原子紊乱不对称地出现在特定的面上,极性形态可以从水结合的角度来理解。血红素解毒蛋白的结构模型表明,它具有作为手性剂的功能,可偏向于二聚体的形成,从而有利于单晶相的快速生长。血色素晶体的极性形状反映了单位晶胞中血红素二聚体的异构体组成。

We present orally administrable prodrugs (OSC-GCDIs) of guanidino oseltamivir carboxylate (GOC) based on guanidine cyclic diimide (GCDI) to treat influenza viruses. By concealing the guanidine group, which significantly limits the intestinal absorption, its prodrugs OSC-GCDIs demonstrate dramatic improvement of oral bioavailability. The most promising antiviral substance OSC-GCDI(P) readily forms covalent adducts with serum proteins via a degradable linker after the intestinal absorption. Subsequently, the active species, GOC, is released from the conjugate in a sustained manner, which greatly contributes to improving pharmacokinetic properties. Because of the remarkable improvements in both oral bioavailability and longevity of its active metabolite, OSC-GCDI(P) demonstrates outstanding therapeutic efficacy against both wild-type and oseltamivir-resistant (H275Y) influenza virus strains in a mouse infection model, even with a single oral administration.
Guanidine cyclic diimide-based prodrugs dramatically enhance oral bioavailability and pharmacokinetic half-life to show long-time therapeutic activity against broad-spectrum influenza viruses.

Because of the remarkable improvements in both oral bioavailability and longevity of its active metabolite, <b>OSC-GCDI(P)</b> demonstrates outstanding therapeutic efficacy against both wild-type and oseltamivir-resistant (H275Y) influenza virus strains in a mouse infection model, even with a single oral administration.","PeriodicalId":10,"journal":{"name":"ACS Central Science","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":18.2,"publicationDate":"2024-07-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141549866","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Detoxification of heme in Plasmodium depends on its crystallization into hemozoin. This pathway is a major target of antimalarial drugs. The crystalline structure of hemozoin was established by X-ray powder diffraction using a synthetic analog, β-hematin. Here, we apply emerging methods of in situ cryo-electron tomography and 3D electron diffraction to obtain a definitive structure of hemozoin directly from ruptured parasite cells. Biogenic hemozoin crystals take a striking polar morphology. Like β-hematin, the unit cell contains a heme dimer, which may form four distinct stereoisomers: two centrosymmetric and two chiral enantiomers. Diffraction analysis, supported by density functional theory analysis, reveals a selective mixture in the hemozoin lattice of one centrosymmetric and one chiral dimer. Absolute configuration has been determined by morphological analysis and confirmed by a novel method of exit-wave reconstruction from a focal series. Atomic disorder appears on specific facets asymmetrically, and the polar morphology can be understood in light of water binding. Structural modeling of the heme detoxification protein suggests a function as a chiral agent to bias the dimer formation in favor of rapid growth of a single crystalline phase. The refined structure of hemozoin should serve as a guide to new drug development.
疟原虫体内血红素的解毒依赖于其结晶成血色素。这一途径是抗疟药物的主要靶点。通过 X 射线粉末衍射,我们利用合成类似物 β-hematin,确定了安息香酸的晶体结构。在这里,我们应用新出现的原位低温电子断层扫描和三维电子衍射方法,直接从破裂的寄生虫细胞中获得了安息香血素的确定结构。生物造血素晶体具有显著的极性形态。与 β-血红素一样,其单胞包含一个血红素二聚体,可形成四种不同的立体异构体:两种中心对称异构体和两种手性对映体。在密度泛函理论分析的支持下,衍射分析揭示了血色素晶格中一种中心对称二聚体和一种手性二聚体的选择性混合物。绝对构型是通过形态分析确定的,并通过一种从焦点序列重建出口波的新方法得到了证实。原子紊乱不对称地出现在特定的面上,极性形态可以从水结合的角度来理解。血红素解毒蛋白的结构模型表明,它具有作为手性剂的功能,可偏向于二聚体的形成,从而有利于单晶相的快速生长。血色素的精制结构可作为新药开发的指南。
