Abstract
Eukaryotic ribosomes are enriched with pseudouridine, particularly at the functional centers targeted by antibiotics. Here we investigated the roles of pseudouridine in aminoglycoside-mediated translation inhibition by comparing the structural and functional properties of the wild-type ribosomes and those lacking pseudouridine ( cbf5 -D95A). We showed that the cbf5 -D95A ribosomes have decreased thermostability and high sensitivity to aminoglycosides. When presented with an internal ribosome entry site (IRES) RNA, elongation factor eEF2, GTP, sordarin, hygromycin B preferentially binds to the cbf5 -D95A ribosomes during initiation by blocking eEF2 binding and stalls the ribosomes in a non-rotated conformation, further hindering translocation. Hygromycin B binds to the inter-subunit bridge B2a that is known to be sensitive to pseudouridine, revealing a functional link between pseudouridine and aminoglycoside inhibition. Our results suggest that pseudouridine enhances both thermostability and conformational fitness of the ribosomes, thereby influencing their susceptibility to aminoglycosides. Highlights Loss of pseudouridine increases cell sensitivity to aminoglycosidesPseudouridine enhances ribosome thermostabilityHygromycin B competes with eEF2 for the non-rotated ribosomeHygromycin B deforms the codon-anticodon duplex.

Abstract
Premature aging is a hallmark of Down syndrome, caused by trisomy of human chromosome 21, but the reason is unclear and difficult to study in humans. We used an aneuploid model in wild yeast to show that chromosome amplification disrupts nutrient-induced cell-cycle arrest, quiescence entry, and healthy aging, across genetic backgrounds and amplified chromosomes. We discovered that these defects are due in part to aneuploidy-induced dysfunction in Ribosome Quality Control (RQC). Compared to euploids, aneuploids entering quiescence display aberrant ribosome profiles, accumulate RQC intermediates, and harbor an increased load of protein aggregates. Although they have normal proteasome capacity, aneuploids show signs of ubiquitin dysregulation, which impacts cyclin abundance to disrupt arrest. Remarkably, inducing ribosome stalling in euploids produces similar aberrations, while up-regulating limiting RQC subunits or proteins in ubiquitin metabolism alleviates many of the aneuploid defects. Our results provide implications for other aneuploidy disorders including Down syndrome.

Abstract
Endophytic Streptomyces sp. are recognized as a potential resource for valuable natural products but are less explored. This study focused on exploring endophytic Streptomyces species residing within tomato plants (Solanum lycopersicum) harboring genes for the production of a novel class of antibiotics. Our research involved the isolation and characterization of Streptomyces sp. VITGV156, a newly identified endophytic Streptomyces species that produces antimicrobial products. VITGV156 harbors a genome of 8.18 mb and codes 6,512 proteins, of which 4,993 are of known function (76.67%) and 1,519 are of unknown function (23.32%). By employing genomic analysis, we elucidate the genome landscape of this microbial strain and shed light on various BGCs responsible for producing polyketide antimicrobial compounds, with particular emphasis on the antibiotic kendomycin. We extended our study by evaluating the antibacterial properties of kendomycin. Overall, this study provides valuable insights into the genome of endophytic Streptomyces species, particularly Streptomyces sp. VITGV156, which are prolific producers of antimicrobial agents. These findings hold promise for further research and exploitation of pharmaceutical compounds, offering opportunities for the development of novel antimicrobial drugs.

Abstract
Pseudomonas syringae pv. actinidiae (Psa) is a significant pathogenic bacterium affecting the kiwifruit industry. This study investigated the target sites of streptothricin-F (ST-F), produced by Streptomyces lavendulae gCLA4. The inhibition of ST-F on Psa was examined by the microscopic structural differences of Psa before and after treatment with ST-F, as well as the interaction between ST-F and cell division-related proteins. The results revealed filamentation of Psa after ST-F treatment, and fluorescence microscopy showed that ST-F inhibited the formation of the Z-ring composed of FtsZ protein. In vitro experiments and molecular docking demonstrated that ST-F can bind to FtsZ with a binding energy of 0.4 μM and inhibit FtsZ's GTP-dependent polymerization reaction. In addition, ST-F does not exert inhibitory effects on cell division in Psa strains overexpressing ftsZ. In conclusion, FtsZ is one of the target sites for ST-F inhibition of Psa, highlighting its potential as a therapeutic target for controlling Psa-induced kiwifruit bacterial canker.

Abstract
Narrow-spectrum antibiotics are of great interest given their ability to spare the microbiome and decrease widespread antibiotic resistance compared to broad-spectrum antibiotics. Herein, we screened an in-house library of Actinobacteria strains for selective activity against Acinetobacter baumannii and successfully identified Streptomyces sp. CS-62 as a producer of a natural product with this valuable activity. Analysis of the cultures via high-resolution mass spectrometry and tandem mass spectrometry, followed by comparison with molecules in the Natural Product Atlas and the Global Natural Products Social Molecular Networking platform, suggested a novel natural product. Genome mining analysis initially supported the production of a novel kirromycin derivative. Isolation and structure elucidation via mass spectrometry and Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) analyses revealed that the active natural product was the known natural product factumycin, exposing omissions and errors in the consulted databases. While public databases are generally very useful for avoiding rediscovery of known molecules, rediscovery remains a problem due to public databases either being incomplete or having errors that result in failed dereplication. Overall, the work describes the ongoing problem of dereplication and the continued need for public database curation.

Abstract
According to the 2030 Agenda of the United Nations, one of the sustainable development goals is to ensure sustainable consumption and production patterns. The need to ensure food safety includes, other than microbiological hazards, concerns with antimicrobial-resistant (AMR) bacteria. The emergence of resistant bacteria in the food industry is essentially due to the abusive, and sometimes incorrect, administration of antimicrobials. Although not allowed in Europe, antimicrobials are often administered to promote animal growth. Each time antimicrobials are used, a selective pressure is applied to AMR bacteria. Moreover, AMR genes can be transmitted to humans through the consumption of meat-harbouring-resistant bacteria, which highlights the One Health dimension of antimicrobial resistance. Furthermore, the appropriate use of antimicrobials to ensure efficacy and the best possible outcome for the treatment of infections is regulated through the recommendations of antimicrobial stewardship. The present manuscript aims to give the current state of the art about the transmission of AMR bacteria, particularly methicillin-resistant S. aureus, ESBL-producing Enterobacteriaceae, and vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus spp., along with other ESKAPE bacteria, from animals to humans through the consumption of meat and meat products, with emphasis on pork meat and pork meat products, which are considered the most consumed worldwide.
