Uridine as a potentiator of aminoglycosides through activation of carbohydrate transporters Uridine boosts aminoglycoside treatment efficiency against antibiotic-susceptible as well as antibiotic-resistant E. coli strains.

So excited our antibiotic potentiation story is out 🤩 Led by the extraordinary @manonlang.bsky.social with @fox-science.bsky.social & @amazeld.bsky.social +amazing collaborators @immunobladder.bsky.social @imaneelmeouche.bsky.social 🦠 We believe it can make a difference in #AMR infections!

Congratulations great story

A useful toolkit 🧰⚙️

Thanks for the great meeting.
It was so nice to see everyone and enjoy great science. 🔤❤️

Title, authors and abstract from link

In a remarkable new paper, Qureshi and Duss use multi-colour single-molecule fluorescence microscopy to directly and simultaneously track transcription, translation & coupling 3/n

Codon influence on protein expression in E. coli correlates with mRNA levels - Nature In-depth analyses of protein expression studies are used to derive a new codon-influence metric that correlates with global protein levels, mRNA levels and mRNA lifetimes in vivo, indicating tight cou...

The second method does the same but also
optimizes all other codons using the 44 best codons identified in our
previously published efficiency codon metric (doi.org/10.1038/natu...). The last method (AG29G) follows a similar
approach but utilizes only the 29 best codons.

The first
optimization method (AGhead) focuses solely on the first codons to increase the
ratio of adenosine to guanosine.

The manuscript comes with a web server, opt.williams.edu, that allows for the prediction of expression for
a given DNA sequence and proposes three types of optimization.

I am very happy to present our new manuscript in collaboration with the Aalbet and Hunt Labs on DNA sequence optimization for high expression in Escherichia coli as well as in in vitro translation assays (doi.org/10.1016/j.jm...)

Super happy to be with the ABC family

It's ABC protein, NOT transporter! We are an inclusive bunch! ❤️

We are all the same super family 🥰

Direct RNA sequencing coupled with adaptive sampling enriches RNAs of interest in the transcriptome ... It can be difficult to find rare transcripts when sequencing a transcriptome. Here the authors show adaptive sampling on direct RNA runs to increase the likelihood of finding less frequent ones while ...

Hi everyone,
We are new on Bluesky 😀. We are a group of microbiologists 🧫🔬 interested in mRNA translation mechanisms and regulation.
We wish you a wonderful year in 2024 🥳🍾 and will be back soon with more news.
