ctions for inferring expanded sRNA regulons. Our approach facilitates the identification of experimentally supported novel interactions while filtering out false-positive results. Due to its data-driven nature, our method prioritizes biologically relevant interactions among lists of candidate sRNA-target pairs predicted in silico from sequence analysis or derived from sRNA-mRNA binding experiments.Consumer demand for "fresh food" with no chemical preservatives has prompted researchers to pay more attention to natural antimicrobial peptides such as bacteriocins. Nisin is currently the most widely used food biopreservative among the bacteriocins; however, its applications are restricted due to its low stability at neutral and alkaline pH values. Circular bacteriocins have potent antimicrobial activity against foodborne pathogens, show exceptional stability, and have great potential to be developed as biopreservatives. Here, we take advantage of the precursor peptides of 15 reported circular bacteriocins to devise an in silico approach to identify potential circular bacteriocins in sequenced microbial genomes. A total of nearly 7,000 putative precursor peptides were identified from 86 species of bacteria and further classified into 28 groups based on their amino acid similarity. Among the groups, 19 showed low similarity (less than 50%) to any known precursor peptide of circular bacteriocins. One novel cither than the 2 groups that were described in previous studies. Nineteen groups were novel and had low similarity (less than 50%) to any known precursor peptides of circular bacteriocins; this finding greatly expands the awareness of the novelty and diversity of circular bacteriocins. A novel circular bacteriocin which we named cerecyclin was identified in the B. cereus group; this circular bacteriocin had great antimicrobial activity against some foodborne pathogens and showed extreme stability. This study not only identified a promising food biopreservative but also provided a rich source for the identification of novel circular bacteriocins and the development of new biopreservatives.The intrinsic mechanisms that link extracellular signalling to the onset of neural differentiation are not well understood. In pluripotent mouse cells, BMP blocks entry into the neural lineage via transcriptional upregulation of inhibitor of differentiation (Id) factors. We have previously identified the major binding partner of Id proteins in pluripotent cells as the basic helix-loop-helix (bHLH) transcription factor (TF) E2A. Trastuzumab Emtansine Id1 can prevent E2A from forming heterodimers with bHLH TFs or from forming homodimers. Here, we show that overexpression of a forced E2A homodimer is sufficient to drive robust neural commitment in pluripotent cells, even under non-permissive conditions. Conversely, we find that E2A null cells display a defect in their neural differentiation capacity. E2A acts as an upstream activator of neural lineage genes, including Sox1 and Foxd4, and as a repressor of Nodal signalling. Our results suggest a crucial role for E2A in establishing neural lineage commitment in pluripotent cells.Radiolabeled meta-iodobenzylguanidine (mIBG) is an important radiopharmaceutical used in the diagnosis and treatment of neuroendocrine cancers. mIBG is known to enter tumor cells through the norepinephrine transporter. Whole-body scintigraphy has shown rapid mIBG elimination through the kidney and high accumulation in several normal tissues, but the underlying molecular mechanisms are unclear. Using transporter-expressing cell lines, we show that mIBG is an excellent substrate for human organic cation transporters 1-3 (hOCT1-3) and the multidrug and toxin extrusion proteins 1 and 2-K (hMATE1/2-K), but not for the renal organic anion transporter 1 and 3 (hOAT1/3). Kinetic analysis revealed that hOCT1, hOCT2, hOCT3, hMATE1, and hMATE2-K transport mIBG with similar apparent affinities (K m of 19.5 ± 6.9, 17.2 ± 2.8, 14.5 ± 7.1, 17.7 ± 10.9, 12.6 ± 5.6 µM, respectively). Transwell studies in hOCT2/hMATE1 double-transfected Madin-Darby canine kidney cells showed that mIBG transport in the basal (B)-to-apical (A) drevent adverse drug interaction with therapeutic [131I]mIBG and develop clinical strategies to reduce [131I]mIBG accumulation and toxicity in normal tissues and organs.In the mid-1970s, an intense race to identify endogenous substances that activated the same receptors as opiates resulted in the identification of the first endogenous opioid peptides. Since then, >20 peptides with opioid receptor activity have been discovered, all of which are generated from three precursors, proenkephalin, prodynorphin, and proopiomelanocortin, by sequential proteolytic processing by prohormone convertases and carboxypeptidase E. Each of these peptides binds to all three of the opioid receptor types (μ, δ, or κ), albeit with differing affinities. Peptides derived from proenkephalin and prodynorphin are broadly distributed in the brain, and mRNA encoding all three precursors are highly expressed in some peripheral tissues. Various approaches have been used to explore the functions of the opioid peptides in specific behaviors and brain circuits. These methods include directly administering the peptides ex vivo (i.e., to excised tissue) or in vivo (in animals), using antagonists of opioid receptors to infer endogenous peptide activity, and genetic knockout of opioid peptide precursors. Collectively, these studies add to our current understanding of the function of endogenous opioids, especially when similar results are found using different approaches. We briefly review the history of identification of opioid peptides, highlight the major findings, address several myths that are widely accepted but not supported by recent data, and discuss unanswered questions and future directions for research. SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENT Activation of the opioid receptors by opiates and synthetic drugs leads to central and peripheral biological effects, including analgesia and respiratory depression, but these may not be the primary functions of the endogenous opioid peptides. Instead, the opioid peptides play complex and overlapping roles in a variety of systems, including reward pathways, and an important direction for research is the delineation of the role of individual peptides.
