General Description

Biotin serves as the prosthetic group of enzymes, which catalyze carboxylations in the organism. For this purpose, biotin is bound via its carboxy group to lysin residues of carboxylases, and the transfer of carbon dioxide takes place after its attachment to a nitrogen atom of biotin, forming the so-called active carbon dioxide.
The awareness of the population for a good health and its interest in healthy nutrition has increased significantly during the last years. After the content of vitamins in his nourishment has gained importance for the consumer, food has partially been vitaminized by the manufacturer.
When there exists a lack of biotin, seborrhoea, dermatitis, anorexia, muscle pain, tiredness and nervous disorders can appear. As biotin is synthesized by the human intestinal flora, deficiency symptoms are rare, appear however after excessive ingestion of raw egg white, which can be explained by its content of biotinbinding avidin.

Pine wood nematode (PWN)-secretory antigen 571 as a biomarker for the PWN and its monoclonal antibodies for detecting PWN and its infected pine tree

Abstract

The biochemical characteristics of pine wood nematode (PWN)-secretory antigen 571 (PWN-SA571) identified from the PWN secretome and PWN-infected pine tree extracts (PWNIPT) were investigated. PWN-SA571 has homologs in various nematodes in diverse families and a signal peptide at the amino-terminal end. Since it was not possible to express the full-length PWN-SA571 protein, two peptides showing high antigenicity were synthesized and used as antigens for generating monoclonal antibodies (Mabs). Mab-secreting fusion hybridoma cell lines were selected based on immunoreactivity to free peptide and BSA-conjugated peptide (BSA pep) antigens by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay for establishing Mab-secreting hybridoma lines. Ascites containing PWN-SA571-specific Mabs showed stronger immunoreactivity to PWNIPT than to healthy pine tree extracts. In addition, PWN-SA571-specific Mabs could recognize less than 20 ng of BSA pep in lateral flow assays. Furthermore, purified biotin-conjugated PWN-SA571-specific Mab IgG or IgM were able to detect BSA pep (< 15 ng) and PWN extracts (< 600 ng). Taken together, these results demonstrate that PWN-SA571-specific Mabs could detect PWN or PWNIPT extracts by ELISA, LFA, or dot blot analysis.

Abstract

Differential expression of metabolic detoxification enzymes is an important mechanism involved in pesticide/ acaricide resistance of mite pests. The competing endogenous RNA hypothesis offers a new opportunity to investigate post-transcriptional regulation of those genes. In this study, 4454 long non-coding RNAs were identified in the carmine spider mite Tetranychus cinnabarinus by transcriptome sequencing. Software-based predictions indicated that a long intergenic non-coding RNA, (lincRNA)_Tc13743.2 and a detoxification enzyme gene, TcGSTm02, both contained a microRNA (miR-133-5p) response element. Over-expression of lincRNA_Tc13743.2 and TcGSTm02 were detected in a cyflumetofen-resistant T. cinnabarinus strain (CyR), whereas down-regulation of miR-133-5p was observed in this strain. Conversely, up-regulation of miR-133-5p could inhibit TcGSTm02 expression levels, and both lincRNA_Tc13743.2 and TcGSTm02 were significantly enriched in miR-133-5p biotin-avidin pull-down assays. RNA-binding protein immunoprecipitation assay showed that lincRNA_Tc13743.2 and TcGSTm02 bound to a silencing complex containing miR-133-5p. Moreover, a luciferase reporter assay based on a human cell line revealed that over-expression of lincRNA_Tc13743.2 could significantly reduce the inhibition exerted by miR-133-5p through the TcGSTm02 3 ' UTR. In addition, co -localization of lincRNA_Tc13743.2 and miR-133-5p was detected using fluorescence in situ hybridization, suggesting that lincRNA_Tc13743.2 interacts directly with miR-133-5p in spider mites. More importantly, silencing the expression of lincRNA_Tc13743.2 significantly reduced the expression levels of TcGSTm02 and increased the sensitivity of spider mites to cyflumetofen. Our data show that lincRNA_Tc13743.2 up-regulates TcGSTm02 expression by competing for miR-133-5p binding, demonstrating that a lincRNA_Tc13743.2-miR-1335p-TcGSTm02 pathway mediates cyflumetofen resistance in mites.
