Transcription factor-based biosensors for screening and dynamic regulation

Jonathan Tellechea-Luzardo et al.

Summary: Advances in synthetic biology and genetic engineering have led to the development of transcription factor (TF)-based biosensors, which are promising tools for detecting chemical compounds and eliciting specific responses. However, widespread use of these biosensors is hindered by challenges that can be addressed by increasing knowledge of metabolite-activated transcription factors, identifying new transcription factors, and improving the design workflow for biosensor circuits. These improvements are especially important in the bioproduction field, where better biosensor-based approaches are needed for screening and regulation. This work summarizes the current understanding of TF-based biosensors, discusses recent experimental and computational approaches for modification and improvement, and suggests future research directions for bioproduction screening and genetic circuit regulation.

Crude oil exposure of early life stages of Atlantic haddock suggests threshold levels for developmental toxicity as low as 0.1?g total polyaromatic hydrocarbon (TPAH)/L

Elin Sorhus et al.

Summary: Atlantic haddock embryos are highly sensitive to toxicity from spilled oil due to their ability to bind dispersed crude oil droplets to the eggshell. Our study established developmental toxicity thresholds and identified potential long-term adverse effects. Embryos exposed to different oil concentrations exhibited acute and delayed mortality at different life stages, with an effect threshold of 0.1 μg TPAH/L recommended for risk assessment models due to latent sublethal developmental toxicity.

Low-level embryonic crude oil exposure disrupts ventricular ballooning and subsequent trabeculation in Pacific herring

John P. Incardona et al.

Summary: The study reveals that crude oils can cause toxicity in fish hearts, leading to impaired cardiac development and function. This cardiac toxicity is mainly attributed to the inhibitory effects of polycyclic aromatic compounds (PACs) on specific ion channels and proteins. The findings suggest that the observed cardiac injury may arise from the disruption of calcium cycling and contractility in cardiomyocytes.

A Heterozygous Mutation in Cardiac Troponin T Promotes Ca2+ Dysregulation and Adult Cardiomyopathy in Zebrafish

Sarah M. Kamel et al.

Summary: Cardiomyopathies are a group of diseases affecting heart muscles, predominantly caused by mutations in structural components of cardiomyocyte sarcomeres. Introducing TnT gene mutations in zebrafish can lead to cardiac structural changes and heart failure, providing a promising model for studying disease mechanisms and potential therapeutic compounds.
