    Abstract Streptococcus pneumoniae can regulate virulence gene expression by sensing environmental changes, which is key to its pathogenicity. The global transcription regulator MgaSpn of Streptococcus pneumoniae regulates virulence genes expression by directly binding to the promoter regions, but its role in response to different environments remains unclear. In this study, we found that glucose levels could affect phosphocholine content, which was mediated by MgaSpn. MgaSpn can also alter its anti-phagocytosis ability, depending on the availability of glucose. In addition, transcriptome analysis of wild-type D39s in low and high glucose concentrations revealed that MgaSpn was also involved in the regulation of carbon metabolism inhibition (carbon catabolite repression; CCR) and translation processes, which made S. pneumoniae highly competitive in fluctuating environments. In conclusion, MgaSpn is closely related to the virulence and environmental adaptability of Streptococcus pneumoniae.

    Abstract Dynamic tracing of intracellular telomerase activity plays a crucial role in cancer cell recognition and correspondingly in earlier cancer diagnosis and personalized precision therapy. However, due to the complexity of the required reaction system and insufficient loading of reaction components into cells, achieving a high-fidelity determination of telomerase activity is still a challenge. Herein, an Aptamer-Liposome mediated Telomerase activated poly-Molecular beacon Arborescent Nanoassembly(ALTMAN) approach was described for direct high-fidelity visualization of telomerase activity. Briefly, intracellular telomerase activates molecular beacons, causing their hairpin structures to unfold and produce fluorescent signals. Furthermore, multiple molecular beacons can self-assemble, forming arborescent nanostructures and leading to exponential amplification of fluorescent signals. Integrating the enzyme-free isothermal signal amplification successfully increased the sensitivity and reduced interference by leveraging the skillful design of the molecular beacon and the extension of the telomerase-activated TTAGGG repeat sequence. The proposed approach enabled ultrasensitive visualization of activated telomerase exclusively with a prominent detection limit of 2 cells·μL
