    Abstract Background: RNA polymerase (RNAP) is highly conserved and essential for prokaryotic housekeeping activities, making it an important target for the development of new antibiotics. The rpoB gene, encoding a β-subunit of bacterial RNAP, has a well-known association with rifampicin resistance. However, the roles of other RNAP component genes such as rpoA, encoding an α-subunit of RNAP, in antibiotic resistance remain unexplored.
    Objectives: To characterize the antibiotic resistance-related role of RpoA.
    Methods: We measured the expression of the MexEF-OprN efflux pump in an RpoA mutant using a transcriptional reporter. The MICs of various antibiotics for this RpoA mutant were determined.
    Results: We uncover a novel role of antibiotic susceptibility for an RpoA mutant in Pseudomonas aeruginosa. We found that a single amino acid substitution in RpoA resulted in reduced activity of the MexEF-OprN efflux pump, which is responsible for the exportation of various antibiotics, including ciprofloxacin, chloramphenicol, ofloxacin and norfloxacin. This attenuated efflux pump activity, caused by the RpoA mutation, conferred the bacteria further susceptibility to antibiotics regulated by MexEF-OprN. Our work further revealed that certain clinical P. aeruginosa isolates also contained the same RpoA mutation, providing clinical relevance to our findings. Our results elucidate why this new antibiotic-susceptible function of RpoA mutants would have remained undetected in conventional screens for mutants involving antibiotic resistance.
    Conclusions: The discovery of antibiotic susceptibility in an RpoA mutant implicates a new therapeutic approach for treating clinical isolates of P. aeruginosa with RpoA mutations, using specific antibiotics regulated by MexEF-OprN. More generally, our work suggests that RpoA could serve as a promising candidate target for anti-pathogen therapeutic purposes.

    Abstract We develop a biotin-based tandem labeling approach to improve detection sensitivity of DNA probe. Through DNA polymerase-mediated overhand filling, the 3'end of DNA probe was tandemly labeled with biotin molecules. The intensity of biotin signals could be flexibly manipulated by controlling the introduced length of poly(A) in the 5' overhang.

    Abstract This study established a research model to fully understand the relationship of social engagement, loneliness and cognitive function among Chinese older adults. In the latest wave (2018) of the Chinese Longitudinal Healthy Longevity Survey (CLHLS), a total of 12,852 participants aged 65 years and older were included in the study. Path analysis was performed to examine our hypotheses. The social engagement had a positive relationship with normal cognitive function while loneliness had a negative one, and the standardized regression weights were 0.618 (

    Abstract Inorganic coagulants (aluminum and iron salt) are widely used to improve sludge dewaterability, resulting in numerous residues in dewatered sludge. Composting refers to the controlled microbial process that converts organic wastes into fertilizer, and coagulant residues in dewatered sludge can affect subsequent compost efficiency and resource recycling, which remains unclear. This work investigated the effects of two typical metal salt coagulants (poly aluminum chloride [PAC] and poly ferric sulfate [PFS]) conditioning on sludge compost. Our results revealed that PAC conditioning inhibited composting with decreased peak temperature, microbial richness, enzymatic reaction intensities, and compost quality, associated with decreased pH and microbial toxicity of aluminum. Nevertheless, PFS conditioning selectively enriched Pseudoxanthomonas sp. and resulted in more fertile compost with increased peak temperature, enzymatic reaction intensities, and humification degree. Spectroscopy and mass difference analyses indicated that PFS conditioning enhanced reaction intensities of labile biopolymers at the thermophilic stage, mainly comprising hydrolyzation (H
