BACKGROUND Late April 2009, human infection with variant influenza virus A(H1N1)v emerged in the Northern Americas posing a threat that this virus may become the next pandemic influenza virus.   
 OBJECTIVES To prepare laboratories for surge capacity for molecular diagnosis of patients suspected for A(H1N1)v infection in the Netherlands.    STUDY DESIGN A panel of 10 blinded specimens containing seasonal A(H1N1) or A(H3N2), or A/Netherlands/602/2009(H1N1)v influenza virus, or negative control was distributed to the outbreak assistance laboratories (OAL) together with influenza virus A (M-gene), swine influenza virus A (NP-gene) and influenza virus A(H1N1)v (H1v-gene) specific primers and probes and protocol (CDC Atlanta, USA). Laboratories were asked to implement and test this protocol.   
 RESULTS All OAL were able to detect A(H1N1)v using the CDC M-gene reagents, the majority with similar sensitivity as the in-house M-gene based assays. RT-PCRs used in routine diagnostic setting in the OAL specifically designed to detect H1, H3, or NS1 from seasonal influenza A viruses, did not or at very low level cross-react with A(H1N1)v. The CDC swine NP-gene and H1v-gene RT-PCRs showed somewhat reduced sensitivity compared to the CDC and in-house M-gene RT-PCRs. In contrast, in-house developed A(H1N1)v specific H1v-gene and N1v-gene RT-PCRs showed equal sensitivity to CDC and in-house M-gene RT-PCRs.   
 CONCLUSIONS The Dutch OAL are prepared for detection and specific identification of A(H1N1)v, although some level of cross-reactivity was observed with seasonal influenza viruses. Additionally, M-gene based generic influenza A virus detection is recommended to be able to detect emerging influenza A viruses in routine settings.

We investigated the role of hydrogen sulphide (H(2)S) in intracellular pH (pH(i)) regulation in vascular smooth muscle cells and its contribution on vasodilation. NaHS, a H(2)S donor, decreased pH(i) in a concentration-dependent manner ranging from 10 microM to 1mM. Neither inhibition of the Na(+)/H(+) exchanger with 5-(N-ethyl-N-isopropyl) amiloride, (EIPA, 10 microM), nor plasmalemmal Ca(2+)-ATPase with CdCl(2) (20nM) alters the effect of NaHS on pH(i). Blockade of the Cl(-)/HCO3- exchanger with 4,4'-diisothiocyanatostilbene-2,2'-disulfonic acid (DIDS) significantly attenuated the pH(i) lowering effect of NaHS. Moreover, NaHS significantly increased the activity of Cl(-)/HCO3- exchanger when measured with NH(4)Cl prepulse method. DIDS attenuated the vasorelaxation induced by NaHS whereas EIPA and CdCl(2) did not cause any change. In conclusion, H(2)S induced intracellular acidification via activation of Cl(-)/HCO3- exchanger, which is, at least partially, responsible for H(2)S-mediated vasorelaxation.
Hydrogen sulphide regulates intracellular pH in vascular smooth muscle cells.

NusG is a conserved regulatory protein that interacts with elongation complexes (ECs) of RNA polymerase, DNA, and RNA to modulate transcription in multiple and sometimes opposite ways. In Escherichia coli, NusG suppresses pausing and increases elongation rate, enhances termination by E. coli rho and phage HK022 Nun protein, and promotes antitermination by lambdaN and in ribosomal RNA operons. We report NMR studies that suggest that E. coli NusG consists of two largely independent N- and C-terminal structural domains, NTD and CTD, respectively. Based on tests of the functions of the NTD and CTD and variants of NusG in vivo and in vitro, we find that NTD alone is sufficient to suppress pausing and enhance transcript elongation in vitro. However, neither domain alone can enhance rho-dependent termination or support antitermination, indicating that interactions of both domains with ECs are required for these processes. We propose that the two domains of NusG mediate distinct interactions with ECs: the NTD interacts with RNA polymerase and the CTD interacts with rho and other regulators, providing NusG with different combinations of interactions to effect different regulatory outcomes.

Two structurally independent domains of E. coli NusG create regulatory plasticity via distinct interactions with RNA polymerase and regulators.
