Abstract
In growing plant population, effect of stress is a perturb issue affecting its physiological, biochemical, yield loss and developmental growth. Protein-L-isoaspartate-O-methyltransferase (PIMT) is a broadly distributed protein repair enzyme which actuate under stressful environment or aging. Stress can mediate damage converting protein bound aspartate (Asp) residues to isoaspartate (iso-Asp). This spontaneous and deleterious conversion occurs at an elevated state of stress and aging. Iso-Asp formation is associated with protein inactivation and compromised cellular survival. PIMT can convert iso-Asp back to Asp, thus repairing and contributing to cellular survival. The present work describes the isolation, cloning, sequencing and expression of PIMT genes of Carica papaya (Cp pimt) and Ricinus communis (Rc pimt) Using gene specific primers, both the pimts were amplified from their respective cDNAs and subsequently cloned in prokaryotic expression vector pProEXHTa. BL21(DE3) strain of E. coli cells were used as expression host. The expression kinetics of both the PIMTs were studied with various concentrations of IPTG and at different time points. Finally, the PIMT supplemented BL21(DE3) cells were evaluated against different stresses in comparison to their counterparts with the empty vector control.

Abstract
Biotransformation is a selective, stereospecific, efficient, and environment friendly method, compared to chemical synthesis, and a feasible tool for industrial and pharmaceutical applications. The design of biocatalysts using enzyme engineering and metabolic engineering tools has been widely reviewed. However, less importance has been given to the biocatalytic reaction of whole cells expressing recombinant enzymes. Along with the remarkable development of biotechnology tools, a variety of techniques have been applied to improve the biocatalytic reaction of whole cell biotransformation. In this review, techniques related to the biocatalytic reaction are examined, reorganized, and summarized via an integrative approach. Moreover, equilibrium-shifted biotransformation is reviewed for the first time.

Abstract
Background In bioengineering, growth of microorganisms is limited because of environmental and industrial stresses during fermentation. This study aimed to construct a nisin-producing chassis Lactococcus lactis strain with genome-streamlined, low metabolic burden, and multi-stress tolerance characteristics. Results The Cre-loxP recombination system was applied to reduce the genome and obtain the target chassis strain. A prophage-related fragment (PRF; 19,739 bp) in the L. lactis N8 genome was deleted, and the mutant strain L. lactis N8-1 was chosen for multi-stress tolerance studies. Nisin immunity of L. lactis N8-1 was increased to 6500 IU/mL, which was 44.44% higher than that of the wild-type L. lactis N8 (4500 IU/mL). The survival rates of L. lactis N8-1 treated with lysozyme for 2 h and lactic acid for 1 h were 1000- and 10,000-fold higher than that of the wild-type strain, respectively. At 39 ℃, the L. lactis N8-1 could still maintain its growth, whereas the growth of the wild-type strain dramatically dropped. Scanning electron microscopy showed that the cell wall integrity of L. lactis N8-1 was well maintained after lysozyme treatment. Tandem mass tags labeled quantitative proteomics revealed that 33 and 9 proteins were significantly upregulated and downregulated, respectively, in L. lactis N8-1. These differential proteins were involved in carbohydrate and energy transport/metabolism, biosynthesis of cell wall and cell surface proteins. Conclusions PRF deletion was proven to be an efficient strategy to achieve multi-stress tolerance and nisin immunity in L. lactis, thereby providing a new perspective for industrially obtaining engineered strains with multi-stress tolerance and expanding the application of lactic acid bacteria in biotechnology and synthetic biology. Besides, the importance of PRF, which can confer vital phenotypes to bacteria, was established.

Abstract
Oenococcus oeni can exert its function in hostile wine conditions during the malolactic fermentation process. Therefore, it is an important microbial resource for exploring resistance genes. Hsp20 is an important small heat shock protein from O. oeni. The conserved consensus motif "A-x-x-x-x-G-x-L" of Hsp20 announced its role as a member of the small heat shock protein family. The hsp20 gene from O. oeni SD-2a was cloned to create the recombinant plasmid pTriEx-Hsp20. The recombinant plasmid was transformed into Escherichia coli BL21(DE3) competent cells, and the Hsp20 protein was induced by isopropyl-β-D-thiogalactoside (IPTG). The hsp20 gene from O. oeni SD-2a was successfully expressed, and a 20-kDa fusion protein was identified by SDS-PAGE. The purified Hsp20 protein was obtained using Ni-affinity chromatography. Additionally, BL21(DE3)/Hsp20 and BL21(DE3)/Ctrl were treated at high temperatures of 42 and 52 °C, at pH values of 2.0-12.0, under oxidative shock with 0.1% (v/v) and 0.2% (v/v) H2O2, and under an osmotic shock of 430 and 860 mM NaCl to compare the effects of heterologous expression of the Hsp20 protein from O. oeni SD-2a for stress resistance. Notably, Hsp20 overexpression showed enhanced resistance than the control strain did when confronted with different elevated stress conditions. The results demonstrated heterologous expression of the hsp20 gene from O. oeni SD-2a significantly improved the resistance of the host E. coli bacteria against stress conditions.

Label free-based proteomic analysis of Escherichia coli O157:H7 subjected to ohmic heating. Food Res Int 2020; 128:108815.

Abstract
To investigate the inactivation mechanism of ohmic heating (OH) on Escherichia coli O157:H7 at the same inactivation levels, a label-free quantitative proteomic approach was employed in this study. Quantification of 2633 proteins was obtained with high confidence. Compared to untreated samples (CT), a total of 169, 84, and 26 proteins showed significantly differential abundance after high voltage OH (HVOH, 10 V/cm), low voltage OH (LVOH, 5 V/cm), and water bath heating (WB), respectively. Glyoxylate and dicarboxylate metabolism, ABC transporters, biosynthesis of amino acids, glycerophospholipid metabolism, and ribosome pathway were the main KEGG pathways mediated by OH, but only ribosome pathway was greatly affected by WB. The significant differences in proteome changes of E. coli O157:H7 among HVOH, LVOH, and WB treatments, especially the greater number of differential proteins in HVOH, indicated that OH might exert additional effects on proteome of E. coli O157:H7 due to the electric current, particularly in HVOH with higher electric field. This result enriched our understanding of molecular changes of E. coli O157:H7 induced by OH and provided data reference for further research into the inactivation mechanism of OH.

Abstract
Small heat shock proteins (sHsps) constitute a diverse chaperone family that shares the α-crystallin domain, which is flanked by variable, disordered N- and C-terminal extensions. sHsps act as the first line of cellular defense against protein unfolding stress. They form dynamic, large oligomers that represent inactive storage forms. Stress conditions cause a rapid increase in cellular sHsp levels and trigger conformational rearrangements, resulting in exposure of substrate-binding sites and sHsp activation. sHsps bind to early-unfolding intermediates of misfolding proteins in an ATP-independent manner and sequester them in sHsp/substrate complexes. Sequestration protects substrates from further uncontrolled aggregation and facilitates their refolding by ATP-dependent Hsp70-Hsp100 disaggregases. Some sHsps with particularly strong sequestrase activity, such as yeast Hsp42, are critical factors for forming large, microscopically visible deposition sites of misfolded proteins in vivo. These sites are organizing centers for triaging substrates to distinct quality control pathways, preferentially Hsp70-dependent refolding and selective autophagy.
