ABSTRACTHere we report a highly sensitive DNB-based on-chip Motif Finding (DocMF) system that utilizes high throughput next-generation-sequencing (NGS) chips to profile protein binding or cleaving activity. Using DocMF, we successfully identified a variety of endonuclease recognition sites and the protospacer-adjacent-motif (PAM) sequences of different CRISPR systems. Our DocMF platform can simultaneously screen both 5’ and 3’ PAM regions with high coverage using the same NGS library/chip. For the well-studied SpCas9, our DocMF platform identified a small proportion of noncanonical 5’-NAG-3’ (∼5%) and 5’-NGA-3’ (∼1.6%), in addition to its common PAMs, 5’-NGG-3’ (∼89.9%). We also used the DocMF to assay two uncharacterized Cas endonucleases, VeCas9 and BvCpf1. VeCas9 PAMs were not detected by the conventional PAM depletion method. However, DocMF discovered that both VeCas9 and BvCpf1 required broader and more complicated PAM sequences for target recognition. VeCas9 preferred the R-rich motifs, whereas BvCpf1 used the T-rich PAMs. Moreover, after slightly changing the experimental protocol, we observed that dCas9, a DNA-binding protein lacking endonuclease activity, preferably binded to the previously reported PAMs 5’-NGG-3’. In summary, our studies demonstrate that DocMF is the first tool with the capacity to exhaustively assay both the binding and the cutting properties of different DNA-binding proteins.

Carbon nanofiber nonwovens are promising materials for electrode or filtration applications; however, their utilization is obviated by a lack of high throughput production methods. In this study, we utilize a highly effective high-throughput method for the fabrication of polyacrylonitrile (PAN) nanofibers as a nonwoven on a dedicated substrate. The method employs rotational-, air pressure- and electrostatic forces to produce fibers from the inner edge of a rotating bell towards a flat collector. We investigate the impact of all above-mentioned forces on the fiber diameter, morphology, and bundling of the carbon-precursor PAN fibers. The interplay of radial forces with collector-facing forces has an influence on the uniformity of fiber deposition. Finally, the obtained PAN nanofibers are converted to carbon nonwovens by thermal treatment.

Choline is metabolized by the gut microbiota into trimethylamine (TMA), the precursor of pro-atherosclerotic molecule trimethylamine N-oxide (TMAO). A reduction in TMA formation has shown cardioprotective effects, and some phytochemicals may reduce TMA formation. This study aimed to develop an optimized, high-throughput anaerobic fermentation methodology to study the inhibition of choline microbial metabolism into TMA by phenolic compounds with healthy human fecal starter. Optimal fermentation conditions were: 20% fecal slurry (1:10 in PBS), 100 µM choline, and 12 h fermentation. Additionally, 10 mM of 3,3-dimethyl-1-butanol (DMB) was defined as a positive TMA production inhibitor, achieving a ~50% reduction in TMA production. Gallic acid and chlorogenic acid reported higher TMA inhibitory potential (maximum of 80–90% TMA production inhibition), with IC50 around 5 mM. Neither DMB nor gallic acid or chlorogenic acid reduced TMA production through cytotoxic effects, indicating mechanisms such as altered TMA-lyase activity or expression.

Flavor and nutritional quality has been negatively impacted during the course of domestication and improvement of the cultivated tomato (Solanum lycopersicum). Recent emphasis on consumers has emphasized breeding strategies that focus on flavor-associated chemicals, including sugars, acids, and aroma compounds. Carotenoids indirectly affect flavor as precursors of aroma compounds, while chlorophylls contribute to sugar production through photosynthesis. However, the relationships between these pigments and flavor content are still unclear. In this study, we developed a simple and high-throughput method to quantify chlorophylls and carotenoids. This method was applied to over one hundred tomato varieties, including S. lycopersicum and its wild relatives (S. l. var. cerasiforme and S. pimpinellifolium), for quantification of these pigments in fruits. The results obtained by integrating data of the pigments, soluble solids, sugars, and aroma compounds indicate that (i) chlorophyll-abundant varieties have relatively higher sugar accumulations and (ii) prolycopene is associated with an abundance of linear carotenoid-derived aroma compounds in one of the orange-fruited varieties, “Dixie Golden Giant”. Our results suggest the importance of these pigments not only as components of fruit color but also as factors influencing flavor traits, such as sugars and aroma.
