Description: Podoplanin, also known as glycoprotein 38 (gp38), PA2.26 antigen, T1alpha (T1A), and aggrus, is a 38 kDa type I transmembrane sialoglycoprotein and member of the podoplanin family. Podoplanin is synthesized as a 172 amino acid (aa) precursor with a 22 aa signal sequence, a 119 aa extracellular domain (ECD), a 21 aa transmembrane region, and a short, 10 aa cytoplasmic tail. The ECD contains abundant Ser/Thr residues as potential sites for Oglycosylation, and the cytoplasmic region contains putative sites for kinase C and cAMP phosphorylation. Mouse Podoplanin shares 77% and 46% aa sequence identity with rat and human Podoplanin, respectively. Podoplanin is expressed on glomerular epithelial cells (podocytes), type I lung alveolar cells, lymphatic endothelial cells, and on numerous tumors including colorectal tumors, squamous cell carcinomas, testicular seminoma, and brain tumors. One study shows high expression of Podoplanin mRNA in placenta, lung, skeletal muscle, and heart, and weaker levels in brain, kidney, and liver. Podoplanin is the ligand for Ctype lectin like receptor 2 (CLEC2). Their association is dependent on sialic acid on Oglycans of Podoplanin. Through its association with CLEC2, Podoplanin induces platelet aggregation and tumor metastasis. Podoplanin is also necessary for lymphatic vessel formation, normal lung cell proliferation and alveolus formation at birth.

“Scentsor”: A Complete-Cell Yeast Biosensor with an Olfactory Reporter for Low-Value and Gear-Free Detection of Prescribed drugs
Transportable and cheap analytical instruments are required to watch pharmaceutical high quality in expertise restricted settings together with low- and middle-income nations (LMICs). Complete cell yeast biosensors have the potential to assist meet this want.
Nevertheless, a lot of the read-outs for yeast biosensors require costly gear or reagents. To beat this problem, we’ve designed a yeast biosensor that produces a singular scent as a readout. This inducible scent biosensor, or “scentsor,” doesn’t require the consumer to manage extra reagents for reporter growth and makes use of solely the consumer’s nostril to be “learn.” On this manuscript, we describe a scentsor that’s conscious of the hormone estradiol (E2). The perfect estimate threshold (BET) for E2 detection with a panel of human volunteers (n = 49) is 39 nM E2 (15 nM when “non-smellers” are excluded).
This focus of E2 is delicate sufficient to detect ranges of E2 that might be present in dosage varieties. This manuscript supplies proof that scent has potential to be used in moveable yeast biosensors as a learn out, significantly to be used technology-limited environments.
