Abstract

The SARS-CoV-2 main protease, MPRO, is critical for its replication and is an appealing target for designing anti-SARS-CoV-2 agents. In this regard, a number of assays have been developed based on its cleavage sequence preferences to monitor its activity. These include the usage of Fluorescence Resonance Energy Transfer (FRET)-based substrates in vitro and a FlipGFP reporter, one which fluoresces after MPRO-mediated cleavage, in live cells. Here, a pair of genetically encoded, Bioluminescence Resonance Energy Transfer (BRET)-based sensors have been engineered for detecting SARS-CoV-2 MPRO proteolytic activity in living host cells. The sensors were generated by sandwiching MPRO N-terminal autocleavage sites, either AVLQSGFR (short) or KTSAVLQSGFRKME (long), in between the mNeonGreen and nanoLuc proteins. Co-expression of the sensor with the MPRO in live cells resulted in its cleavage in a dose-dependent manner while mutation of the critical C145 residue (C145A) in MPRO completely abrogated the sensor cleavage. A temporal activity of MPRO in live cells and its inhibition was shown using the well-characterized pharmacological agent GC376. The sensor developed here finds direct utility in studies related to drug discovery targeting the SARS-CoV-2 MPRO and functional genomics application to determine the effect of sequence variation in MPRO Importantly, the BRET-based sensors displayed increased sensitivities and specificities as compared to the recently developed FlipGFP-based MPRO sensor. Additionally, the sensors recapitulated the inhibition of MPRO by the well-characterized pharmacological agent GC376. Further, in vitro assays with the BRET-based MPRO sensors revealed a molecular crowding-mediated increase in the rate of MPRO activity and a decrease in the inhibitory potential of GC376. The sensor developed here finds direct utility in studies related to drug discovery targeting the SARS-CoV-2 MPRO and functional genomics application to determine the effect of sequence variation in MPRO.

Abstract

The present disclosure provides a therapeutic method comprised of targeting the tumor-associated antigen, Lactate Dehydrogenase C (LDHC), in LDHC-expressing cancers or tumors. This novel approach offers a highly specific cancer treatment with little or no off-target effects. Targeting LDHC with the use of silencing molecules increases tumor cell death by inducing excess DNA damage, and more importantly, can render breast tumor cells more responsive to non-specific, DNA damaging drugs and DNA damage repair inhibitors, such as platinum-based alkylating agents (e.g. cisplatin) and Poly ADP-Ribose Polymerase (PARP) inhibitors (e.g. olaparib). Targeting LDHC in tumor cells has the potential to specifically sensitize tumor cells to these drugs and/or inhibitors, leading to enhanced tumor cell killing and potentially minimizing side effects.

Abstract

A new and innovative power and treated water co-generation system is provided that includes a modified Kalina cycle and a forward osmosis (FO) membrane. The Kalina cycle of the provided system is used for power production, whereas the system's FO process is used for water production. The provided system modifies a typical Kalina cycle to include a more efficient and relatively low-temperature heat source, while still utilizing the same working fluid, which is ammonia-water. The draw solution for the provided system's FO process is also ammonia-water, which is known and efficient for desalination and wastewater treatment. In some aspects, the working fluid of the system may be a specific ammonia-water composition including between 30-95% ammonia. The presently disclosed system combines the Kalina process and the FO process into an improved and innovative heat integration system to minimize energy requirements and enable operation at both small and large scales.
