The present invention provides a method for controlling colocalization of two or more proteins in a cell. The method comprises expressing the proteins, scaffold RNA molecules having binding motifs for the proteins, and a trigger RNA molecule in the cell. In the presence of the trigger RNA molecule, a scaffold may be assembled (ON) by the scaffold RNA molecules via hybridization such that the proteins may be colocalized; or disassembled (OFF) such that the proteins may be separated and not colocalized. The proteins may provide a biological activity when colocalized or not colocalized.

Disclosed herein is a biomolecule comprising a synthetic peptide for targeting thrombus, a pharmaceutical composition comprising the same, and uses thereof in the treatment of thromboembolism-related diseases. According to embodiments of the present disclosure, the synthetic peptide having the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 1, 2, or 3 exhibits a binding affinity and specificity to thrombus. Thus, the synthetic peptide may serve as a targeting element for delivering a therapeutic agent (e.g., an anticoagulant agent or a thrombolytic agent) to the thrombus thereby improving the therapeutic safety and efficacy of the therapeutic agent.

Ligase mutants of the following (1), (2), or (3): (1) a ligase mutant comprising an amino acid sequence showing 95% or more identity to the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 1, and having a nucleic acid-linking activity; (2) a ligase mutant comprising an amino acid sequence showing 90% or more identity to the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 2, and having a nucleic acid-linking activity; or (3) a ligase mutant comprising an amino acid sequence showing 97% or more identity to the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 3, and having a nucleic acid-linking activity, have excellent properties.

An improved data intake and query system that can perform and display ingest-time and search-time field extraction, redaction, copy, and/or categorization is described herein. As described herein, ingest-time field extraction, redaction, copy, and/or categorization may refer to field or field value extraction, redaction, copy, and/or categorization that is performed by a log observer system of the data intake and query system on raw machine data as the raw machine data is ingested or received from a publisher. As described herein, search-time field extraction, redaction, copy, and/or categorization may refer to field or field value extraction, redaction, copy, and/or categorization that is performed by the log observer system and/or other components of the improved data intake and query system on historical raw machine data that has already been ingested and indexed by the improved data intake and query system.

The present disclosure is directed to peptide antigens derived from a previously undefined epitope on influenza A virus hemagglutinin and methods for use thereof.

The present disclosure provides deoxyribonucleases that are salt-tolerant and/or thermolabile. In particular, the present disclosure provides mutant variants of bovine deoxyribonuclease I. Also provided are uses of mutant variants of deoxyribonuclease in various applications where DNA removal is desired and kits containing the same.

The present invention provides a recombinant cell for producing para-nitro-L-phenylalanine (pN-Phe). The recombinant cell comprises heterologous genes encoding heterologous enzymes. The recombinant cell expresses the heterologous enzymes and contains a native metabolite. The native metabolite is converted to the pN-Phe in the recombinant cell. The biosynthesized pN-Phe may be incorporated into a target polypeptide in the recombinant cell without requiring exposure of the recombinant cell to exogenous pN-Phe. A cell culture comprising the recombinant cell is also provided. Further provided is a method of producing pN-Phe by a recombinant cell comprising heterologous genes encoding heterologous enzymes. The method comprises expressing a native metabolite by the recombinant cell, expressing the heterologous enzymes, and converting the native metabolite to the pN-Phe in the recombinant cell. The method may further comprise incorporating the pN-Phe into the target polypeptide in the recombinant cell.

Certain embodiments provide a method of reducing biuret in a urea composition, the method comprising contacting the urea composition with an isolated or purified biuret hydrolase enzyme under conditions suitable to reduce the concentration of biuret in the urea composition.

The present invention relates to recombinant virulence attenuated Gram-negative bacterial strains and its use in a method of treating cancer in a subject.

Provided herein are extracellular vesicle (EV) (a.k.a. exosome) compositions for specifically targeting the delivery of a therapeutic agent to particular cells and/or tissues in a subject, as well as methods of making and methods of using said compositions. The compositions and methods disclosed herein are useful for targeted drug delivery in the treatment of diseases in which a cell surface receptor is overexpressed, such as, for example, cancer.
