Comparative transcriptome analysis of Erysiphe pisi-infected pea (Pisum sativum) genotypes JI-2480 (resistant) and Arkel (susceptible) at 72 hours post-inoculation (hpi) was carried to detect molecular components involved in compatible and incompatible interactions. Differential gene expression was observed in Arkel and JI-2480 genotype at 72 hpi with E. pisi isolate (Ep01) using EdgeR software. Out of 32 217 transcripts, 2755 transcripts showed significantly altered gene expression in case of plants while 530 were related to E. pisi (P less then 0.05). The higher transcript number of differentially expressed genes demonstrated peak activity of pathogenicity genes in plants at 72 hpi. Glycolysis was observed to be the major pathway for energy source during fungal growth. Differential gene expression of plant transcripts revealed significant expression of putative receptor and regulatory sequences involved in defense in the resistant, JI-2480 compared to susceptible, Arkel genotype. Expression of genes involved in defense and hormonal signaling, genes related to hypersensitive response, reactive oxygen species and phenylpropanoid pathway in JI-2480 indicated their crucial role in disease resistance against E. pisi. Down-regulation of transcription factors like-WRKY-28 and up-regulation of several putative pattern recognition receptors in JI-2480 compared to Arkel also suggested activation of host-mediated defense responses against E. pisi in pea.Several factors are associated with the progression of chronic hepatitis C comorbidities, lifestyle, and pathogenic factors, including immune response, apoptosis and heredity. Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the PNPLA3 and TM6SF2 genes are more widely studied genetic risk factors, while CXCL9-11 chemokines produced by hepatocytes in the process of infection are less well studied. Our aim was to evaluate the influence of CXCL9 rs10336, CXCL10 rs3921 and CXCL11 rs4619915 in liver fibrosis when analysed together with PNPLA3 rs738409 and TM6SF2 rs58542926. The study included 219 patients with chronic hepatitis C. SNP genotyping was performed by real-time PCR. Univariate and multivariate analyses were used to detect the association between SNPs and advanced fibrosis in a recessive genetic model. All SNPs had a minimum allele frequency >5%, and CXCL9 rs10336, CXCL10 rs3921 and CXCL11 rs4619915 were in high linkage disequilibrium (D' ≥ 0.84). In the multivariate analysis, we observed that male gender (P = 0.000), older age (P = 0.025), moderate to intense inflammatory activity (P = 0.002), moderate to accentuated hepatic steatosis (P = 0.026) and the CT genotype of the TM6SF2 rs58542926 SNP (P = 0.014) presented significant associations with advanced fibrosis. Overall, the CXCL9 rs10336, CXCL10 rs3921, CXCL11 rs4619915 and PNPLA3 rs738409 SNPs did not influence liver fibrosis among patients with chronic hepatitis C.Dextranase specifically hydrolyzes dextran and is used to produce functional isomalto-saccharide prebiotics. Moreover, dextranase is used as an additive in mouthwash to remove dental plaque. We cloned and expressed the dextranase gene of the marine bacterium Bacillus aquimaris S5. C59 ic50 The length of the BaDex gene was 1788 bp, encoding 573 amino acids. Using bioinformatics to predict and analyze the amino acid sequence of BaDex, we found the isoelectric point and instability coefficient to be 4.55 and 29.22, respectively. The average hydrophilicity (GRAVY) was -0.662. The secondary structure of BaDex consisted of 145 alpha helices, accounting for 25.31% of the protein; 126 extended strands, accounting for 21.99%; and 282 random coils, accounting for 49.21%. The 3D structure of the BaDex protein was predicted and simulated using SWISS-MODEL, and BaDex was classified as a Glycoside Hydrolase Family 66 protein. The optimal temperature and pH for BaDex activity were 40°C and 6.0, respectively. The hydrolysates had excellent antioxidant activity, and 8 U/mL of BaDex
