Genetic Screens

5.8K
Genetic screens are tools used to identify genes and mutations responsible for phenotypes of interest. Genetic screens help identify individuals or a group of people at risk of developing  genetic diseases and help them with early intervention, targeted therapy, and reproductive options.
Forward genetic screens
Forward or “classical” genetic screens involve creating random mutations in an organism’s DNA using radiation, mutagens, or insertion of additional bases, which...

In 1928, bacteriologist Frederick Griffith worked on a vaccine for pneumonia, which is caused by Streptococcus pneumoniae bacteria. Griffith studied two pneumonia strains in mice: one pathogenic and one non-pathogenic. Only the pathogenic strain killed host mice.
Griffith made an unexpected discovery when he killed the pathogenic strain and mixed its remains with the live, non-pathogenic strain. Not only did the mixture kill host mice, but it also contained living pathogenic bacteria that...

In the macroscopic world, objects that are large enough to be seen by the naked eye follow the rules of classical physics. A billiard ball moving on a table will behave like a particle; it will continue traveling in a straight line unless it collides with another ball, or it is acted on by some other force, such as friction. The ball has a well-defined position and velocity or well-defined momentum, p = mv, which is defined by mass m and velocity v at any given moment. This is the typical...

The Energies of Atomic Orbitals

In an atom, the negatively charged electrons are attracted to the positively charged nucleus. In a multielectron atom, electron-electron repulsions are also observed. The attractive and repulsive forces are dependent on the distance between the particles, as well as the sign and magnitude of the charges on the individual particles. When the charges on the particles are opposite, they attract each other. If both particles have the same charge, they repel each other.

Area of Science:

  • Microbiology
  • Natural Product Chemistry
  • Drug Discovery

Background:

  • Exploring underexplored microbial groups is key for novel antibiotic discovery.
  • Actinobacteria, particularly the genus Actinoallomurus, are a promising source of bioactive compounds.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To screen Actinoallomurus strains for antibacterial compound production.
  • To identify and characterize novel metabolites from these strains.

Main Methods:

  • Screening of 200 Actinoallomurus strains for antibacterial activity against Staphylococcus aureus.
  • Cultivation of 37 selected strains under specific conditions.
  • Chemical analysis and structure elucidation of produced metabolites.

Main Results:

  • Approximately 50% of screened strains exhibited antibacterial activity.
  • Two novel, structurally distinct polyether compounds, α-770 and α-823, were identified.
  • Production of α-823 was linked to a specific lineage within Actinoallomurus, including A. fulvus and A. amamiensis.

Conclusions:

  • Actinoallomurus is a valuable source for discovering novel antibacterial polyethers.
  • The identification of α-770 and α-823 expands the known repertoire of microbial secondary metabolites.
  • Further investigation into the biosynthesis and biological activity of these novel compounds is warranted.
