Abstract
Human Campylobacter infections have been associated with chicken and other poultry meat products. Environmental conditions such as temperature and season can affect Campylobacter recoverability from chicken meat products. In the presented study, we sought to investigate the relationship between ambient weather conditions and the isolation of Campylobacter from chicken flocks, as well as the subtype of these isolates. Campylobacter was isolated from the ceca of broilers collected in a commercial processing facility over 7 years, representing 452 flocks. Isolates were subjected to whole-genome sequencing and subtyping by multilocus sequence typing (MLST). Approximately 60% (269/452) of flocks sampled were positive for Campylobacter. There was no significant effect on the presence of detectable Campylobacter by month, season, temperature, or rainfall during grow-out or transportation. Sixty-eight different STs were detected; 45 C. jejuni and 23 C. coli. Diversity as measured by Shannon's diversity index was higher in the spring and fall than in mid-winter and summer. We concluded that in the warm temperate climate of the Southeastern U.S., seasonality does not affect the rate of Campylobacter isolation from broilers, but the diversity of isolates was higher in the milder spring and fall seasons.

Abstract
A globally circulating strain of Salmonella enterica serotype Infantis containing the pESI plasmid has increased in prevalence in poultry meat samples and cases of human infections. In this study, a polymerase chain reaction (PCR) protocol was designed to detect the pESI plasmid and confirm the Infantis serotype of Salmonella isolates. Primers were tested bioinformatically to predict specificity, sensitivity, and precision. A total of 54 isolates of Salmonella serotypes Infantis, Senftenberg, and Alachua were tested, with and without the pESI plasmid carriage. Isolates of 31 additional serotypes were also screened to confirm specificity to Infantis. Specificity, sensitivity, and precision of each primer were >0.95. All isolates tested produced the expected band sizes. This PCR protocol provides a rapid and clear result for the detection of the pESI plasmid and serotype Infantis and will allow for the in vitro detection for epidemiological studies where whole-genome sequencing is not available.

Abstract
Campylobacter spp. are a leading cause of human foodborne illness associated with chicken meat products in the United States. Chicken livers, including exudate from packaging, commonly carry Campylobacter and could be a source of illness if mishandled. Survivability of naturally occurring Campylobacter, total aerobic bacteria, and coliforms was determined under drying conditions in two consumer simulated environments: moist sponge and solid surface. Fresh chicken liver exudate was dispensed onto sponges and glass slides and allowed to dry under ambient conditions for 7 days. Bacterial concentration was measured at 0, 6, 24, 48, 72, and 168 h. Total aerobic population did not decrease by more than one log over 7 days and did not correlate to water activity or time in either simulation. Coliform concentrations increased in sponge simulations but decreased in solid surface simulations. Further, coliform concentrations were significantly higher in sponge simulations than in solid surface. Campylobacter was naturally present in exudate and survived at least to 6 h in every trial. Campylobacter was recoverable at 24 h in some sponge trials. However, Campylobacter concentration was strongly correlated to water activity. Fresh chicken liver exudate could present a risk of campylobacteriosis to consumers if mishandled even after drying.

Abstract
Salmonella enterica is a major cause of human foodborne illness and is often attributed to poultry food sources. S. enterica serovar Infantis, specifically those carrying the pESI plasmid, has become a frequently isolated serotype from poultry meat samples at processing and has caused numerous recent human infections. In 2016, the USDA-Food Safety and Inspection Service changed the official sampling method for raw poultry products from BPW to using neutralizing BPW (nBPW) as the rinsing agent in order to prevent residual antimicrobial effects from acidifying and oxidizing processing aids. This change was contemporaneous to the emergence of pESI-positive ser. Infantis as a prevalent serovar in poultry, prompting some to question if nBPW could be selecting for this prevalent serovar. We performed two experiments: a comparison of ser. Infantis growth in BPW versus nBPW, and a simulation of regulatory sampling methods. We found that when inoculated into both broths, ser. Infantis initially grows slightly slower in nBPW than in BPW but little difference was seen in abundance after 6 h of growth. Additionally, the use of nBPW to simulate poultry rinse sample and overnight cold shipping to a regulatory lab did not affect the survival or subsequent growth of ser. Infantis in BPW. We concluded that the change in USDA-FSIS methodology to include nBPW in sampling procedures has likely not affected the emergence of S. ser. Infantis as a prevalent serovar in chicken and turkey meat product samples.

Abstract
Determining mechanism of action (MOA) is one of the biggest challenges in natural products discovery. Here, we report a comprehensive platform that uses Similarity Network Fusion (SNF) to improve MOA predictions by integrating data from the cytological profiling high-content imaging platform and the gene expression platform Functional Signature Ontology, and pairs these data with untargeted metabolomics analysis for de novo bioactive compound discovery. The predictive value of the integrative approach was assessed using a library of target-annotated small molecules as benchmarks. Using Kolmogorov-Smirnov (KS) tests to compare in-class to out-of-class similarity, we found that SNF retains the ability to identify significant in-class similarity across a diverse set of target classes, and could find target classes not detectable in either platform alone. This confirmed that integration of expression-based and image-based phenotypes can accurately report on MOA. Furthermore, we integrated untargeted metabolomics of complex natural product fractions with the SNF network to map biological signatures to specific metabolites. Three examples are presented where SNF coupled with metabolomics was used to directly functionally characterize natural products and accelerate identification of bioactive metabolites, including the discovery of the azoxy-containing biaryl compounds parkamycins A and B. Our results support SNF integration of multiple phenotypic screening approaches along with untargeted metabolomics as a powerful approach for advancing natural products drug discovery.

Abstract
The synthetic lethal association between BRCA deficiency and poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) inhibition supports PARP inhibitor (PARPi) clinical efficacy in BRCA-mutated tumors. PARPis also demonstrate activity in non-BRCA mutated tumors presumably through induction of PARP1-DNA trapping. Despite pronounced clinical response, therapeutic resistance to PARPis inevitably develops. An abundance of knowledge has been built around resistance mechanisms in BRCA-mutated tumors, however, parallel understanding in non-BRCA mutated settings remains insufficient. In this study, we find a strong correlation between the epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) signature and resistance to a clinical PARPi, Talazoparib, in non-BRCA mutated tumor cells. Genetic profiling demonstrates that SNAI2, a master EMT transcription factor, is transcriptionally induced by Talazoparib treatment or PARP1 depletion and this induction is partially responsible for the emerging resistance. Mechanistically, we find that the PARP1 protein directly binds to SNAI2 gene promoter and suppresses its transcription. Talazoparib treatment or PARP1 depletion lifts PARP1-mediated suppression and increases chromatin accessibility around SNAI2 promoters, thus driving SNAI2 transcription and drug resistance. We also find that depletion of the chromatin remodeler CHD1L suppresses SNAI2 expression and reverts acquired resistance to Talazoparib. The PARP1/CHD1L/SNAI2 transcription axis might be therapeutically targeted to re-sensitize Talazoparib in non-BRCA mutated tumors.

Abstract
The presence and transfer of plasmids from commensal bacteria to more pathogenic bacteria may contribute to the dissemination of antimicrobial resistance. However, the prevalence of plasmids from commensal bacteria, such as the enterococci, in food animals remains largely unknown. In this study, the diversity and prevalence of plasmid families from multidrug-resistant (MDR; resistance to three or more antimicrobials) enterococci from poultry carcasses were determined. Plasmid-positive MDR enterococci were also tested for the ability to transfer plasmids to other enterococci using conjugation. MDR Enterococcus faecalis (n = 98) and Enterococcus faecium (n = 696) that were isolated from poultry carcass rinsates between 2004 and 2011 were tested for the presence of 21 plasmid replicon (rep) families using multiplex PCR. Approximately 48% of E. faecalis (47/98) and 16% of E. faecium (110/696) were positive for at least one rep-family. Fourteen rep-families were detected overall, and ten rep-families were shared between E. faecalis and E. faecium. The rep7 and rep17 families were unique to E. faecalis, while the rep5 and rep8 families were unique to E. faecium. The rep9 family was predominant in both E. faecalis and E. faecium for all the years tested. The greatest number of rep-families detected was in 2005 (n = 10), and the least was in 2009 (n = 1). Eight rep-families were transferred from E. faecalis donors to the E. faecalis JH2-2 recipient using conjugation. Results from this study showed that E. faecalis and E. faecium from poultry carcasses contain numerous and diverse rep-families that are capable of conjugal transfer.

Abstract
Abstract
Dysregulated alternative pre-mRNA splicing (AS) is commonly associated with human malignancies, producing pathological proteomes that underlie disease initiation, progression, and therapeutic resistance. The CDC2-like kinases (CLKs) and dual-specificity tyrosine-regulated kinases (DYRKs) are thought to govern AS efficiency and specificity by directly phosphorylating splicing factors that influence pre-mRNA splice junction selection. Cirtuvivint (SM08502) is a first-in-class small molecule ATP-competitive inhibitor of CLK/DYRK kinases. To evaluate the contribution of these kinases to AS profiles, high-depth RNAseq analysis was performed across 39 tumor cell lines (representing 9 lineages) and compared to 6 non-cancerous cell lines after treatment with cirtuvivint. Both baseline and drug-induced changes in AS events (ASEs) were measured using a multivariate analysis of transcript splicing (rMATS). Pan-CLK/DYRK inhibition was found to affect a minority of baseline ASEs, leaving the majority of spliceosome activity intact in all samples; however, the magnitude and quantity of detected drug-induced alterations were larger in tumor compared to non-cancerous cell lines. The majority of ASEs resulting from pan-CLK/DYRK inhibition were enriched for exon skipping events and were tumor type-specific. Moreover, drug-induced ASEs were significantly associated with disease-promoting biology across lineage and oncogenic driver contexts, including perturbed splicing of the AR-V7 variant in treatment-resistant prostate cancer and MDM2 in p53 wild-type cancers.To assess the breadth and depth of CLK/DYRK dependencies in human cancers, the effects of pan-CLK/DYRK inhibition on growth and survival of 154 cancer cell line models, 46 PDX models, and 43 CDX models were tested. EC50s in cell viability assays ranged from 0.014 to 0.73 μM in culture with strong effects observed in subsets of cell lines across all lineages tested. Multiomic data integration revealed sensitivity to cirtuvivint was associated with alterations in splicing genes. In vivo, tumor growth inhibition studies testing cirtuvivint at exposures ~2X below the MTD resulted in significant disease control (≥50% TGI) in 38/46 PDX and 38/43 CDX models. These observations indicate broad cancer relevance, at least in the preclinical setting, and expose vulnerabilities to CLK-DYRK-regulated splicing that can potentially be therapeutically addressed with pan CLK/DYRK inhibitors.

Abstract
Abstract
A monumental challenge facing cancer therapy is the vast mechanistic diversity of tumors among and even within cancer patients. This severely limits the number of patients that respond to any given therapy and the durability of responses that do occur. Deep phenotypic profiling of almost 9000 patient samples indicates perturbation of alternative pre-mRNA splicing (AS) is often a root cause of cancer. This offers an extraordinary opportunity to restore health through normalization of AS in diseased tissue. The bottleneck to progress has been finding and drugging the right targets. The CLK/DYRK kinases modulate AS efficiency and specificity, and therefore, targeting them offers the potential to address this bottleneck. The isoquinoline cirtuvivint is a potent ATP-competitive inhibitor of the Cdc2-like kinases (CLK1-4) and the dual-specificity tyrosine phosphorylation-regulated kinases (DYRK1-4), with activity against only a minimal number of the remaining members of the CMGC-family kinases or the kinome as a whole. Cellular target engagement assays indicated biological IC50s below 0.06 μM across the CLK/DYRK target class. Thus, cirtuvivint has utility for robust chemical evaluation of the overarching contribution of CLK/DYRK family activity to tumor biology in general and context- dependent AS in particular. To help assess the breadth and depth of CLK/DYRK dependencies in human cancers, the consequences of pan-CLK/DYRK inhibition on growth and survival of 154 cancer cell line models, 46 PDX models, and 43 CDX models were tested. EC50s in cell viability assays ranged from 0.014 to 0.73 μM in culture with strong effects observed in subsets of cell lines across all lineages tested. Molecular profiles associated with high sensitivity to cirtuvivint included somatic mutations in the RBM10 splicing factor. Tumor growth inhibition assays with daily dosing at exposures about 2X below the MTD resulted in significant disease control (≥75% TGI) in 15/46 PDX and 18/43 CDX models. Together, these results indicate broad cancer relevance, at least in the preclinical setting, and are consistent with a common reliance on CLK/DYRK-dependent alternative splicing among otherwise highly mechanistically heterogeneous disease.

Abstract
Abstract
Alternative pre-mRNA splicing (AS) supports the dynamic and regulated diversification of cells by allowing the production of multiple distinct proteins from individual genes. Dysregulated AS is commonly associated with human malignancies, producing pathological proteomes that underpin disease initiation, progression, and emergence of therapy resistance. The CDC2-like kinases (CLKs) and dual-specificity tyrosine-regulated kinases (DYRKs) are thought to govern the efficiency and specificity of AS by directly phosphorylating serine/arginine-rich splicing factors (SRSFs) and thereby influencing pre-mRNA splice junction selection. Cirtuvivint (SM08502) is a first-in-class small molecule ATP-competitive inhibitor of CLK/DYRK kinases. To directly evaluate the contribution of these kinases to AS profiles, changes in AS following treatment with cirtuvivint followed by high-depth RNAseq analysis across >25 cell lines representing 7 tumor lineages were evaluated. Both baseline and drug-induced changes in AS events (ASEs) were measured using a multivariate analysis of transcript splicing (rMATS). Pan-CLK/DYRK inhibition was found to affect a minority of baseline ASEs, leaving the majority of spliceosome activity intact in all samples. However, the magnitude and quantity of detected drug-induced alterations were larger in a sample of tumor cells from a patient compared with adjacent non-tumorigenic cells. Moreover, most ASEs sensitive to pan-CLK/DYRK inhibition were tumor type-specific irrespective of selective presence at the gene level. Multi-omics data integration revealed sensitivity to cirtuvivint was associated with alterations in splicing genes and that drug-induced ASEs were significantly associated with disease-promoting biology across lineage and oncogenic driver contexts. Perturbed splicing of the AR-V7 variant in treatment-resistant prostate cancer and MDM2 in p53 wild-type cancers were prominent examples. These observations indicate vulnerabilities to CLK-DYRK regulated splicing span a wide range of oncogenic contexts with potential to be therapeutically addressed with pan CLK/DYRK inhibitors.

Abstract
Protein arginine methyltransferase 5 (PRMT5) over-expression in hematological and solid tumors methylates arginine residues on cellular proteins involved in important cancer functions including cell cycle regulation, mRNA splicing, cell differentiation, cell signaling, and apoptosis. PRMT5 methyltransferase function has been linked with high rates of tumor cell proliferation and decreased overall survival, and PRMT5 inhibitors are currently being explored as an approach for targeting cancer-specific dependencies due to PRMT5 catalytic function. Here we describe the discovery of potent and selective S-adenosylmethionine (SAM) competitive PRMT5 inhibitors, with in vitro and in vivo characterization of clinical candidate PF-06939999. Acquired resistance mechanisms were explored through the development of drug resistant cell lines. Our data highlight compound-specific resistance mutations in the PRMT5 enzyme that demonstrate structural constraints in the co-factor binding site that prevent emergence of complete resistance to SAM site inhibitors. PRMT5 inhibition by PF-06939999 treatment reduced proliferation of NSCLC cancer cells, with dose-dependent decreases in symmetric dimethyl arginine (SDMA) levels and changes in alternative splicing of numerous pre-mRNAs. Drug sensitivity to PF-06939999 in NSCLC cells associates with cancer pathways including MYC, cell cycle and spliceosome, and with mutations in splicing factors such as RBM10. Translation of efficacy in mouse tumor xenograft models with splicing mutations provides rationale for therapeutic use of PF-06939999 in the treatment of splicing dysregulated NSCLC.

Abstract
Salmonella enterica and Escherichia coli are important human pathogens that frequently contain plasmids, both large and small, carrying antibiotic resistance genes. Large conjugative plasmids are known to mobilize small Col plasmids, but less is known about the specificity of mobilization. In the current study, six S. enterica and four E. coli strains containing large plasmids were tested for their ability to mobilize three different kanamycin resistance Col plasmids (KanR plasmids). Large conjugative plasmids from five isolates, four S. enterica and one E. coli, were able to mobilize KanR plasmids of various types. Plasmids capable of mobilizing the KanR plasmids were either IncI1 or IncX, while IncI1 and IncX plasmids with no evidence of conjugation had disrupted transfer regions. Conjugative plasmids of similar types mobilized similar KanR plasmids, but not all conjugative plasmid types were capable of mobilizing all of the KanR plasmids. These data describe some of the complexities and specificities of individual small plasmid mobilization.

Abstract
The exocyst is an evolutionarily conserved protein complex that regulates vesicular trafficking and scaffolds signal transduction. Key upstream components of the exocyst include monomeric RAL GTPases, which help mount cell-autonomous responses to trophic and immunogenic signals. Here, we present a quantitative proteomics-based characterization of dynamic and signal-dependent exocyst protein interactomes. Under viral infection, an Exo84 exocyst subcomplex assembles the immune kinase Protein Kinase R (PKR) together with the Hippo kinase Macrophage Stimulating 1 (MST1). PKR phosphorylates MST1 to activate Hippo signaling and inactivate Yes Associated Protein 1 (YAP1). By contrast, a Sec5 exocyst subcomplex recruits another immune kinase, TANK binding kinase 1 (TBK1), which interacted with and activated mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR). RALB was necessary and sufficient for induction of Hippo and mTOR signaling through parallel exocyst subcomplex engagement, supporting the cellular response to virus infection and oncogenic signaling. This study highlights RALB-exocyst signaling subcomplexes as mechanisms for the integrated engagement of Hippo and mTOR signaling in cells challenged by viral pathogens or oncogenic signaling.

Abstract
Abstract
Purpose
Fish is an excellent source of protein and vitamins for humans, but improperly handled, fish can expose consumers to pathogenic bacteria. This study was aimed to isolate and characterize the genomes of Salmonella strains isolated from imported fish sold in the open market in Ouagadougou.
Methods
One hundred and fifty-nine fish were collected from open markets and were cultured for Salmonella. Antimicrobial susceptibility was determined by broth microdilution. Whole-genome sequencing was done to further study antibiotic resistance genes, plasmid replicons, and MSLT types. Serotyping was done using SeqSero 2.
Result
Out of the 159 fish samples analyzed, 30 (18.9%) were found to be contaminated with Salmonella. Among the isolated Salmonella strains, six different serotypes, Nima, Liverpool, Kokomlemle, Teshie, Derby, and Tennessee, were found using SeqSero2. Salmonella Tennessee was the predominant serotype. All the isolates possessed at least one resistance gene. The aac6-Iaa aminoglycoside resistance gene was the most prevalent gene found in the strains. The gene fosA7 was detected in three strains. All the S. Nima isolates were of Multilocus Sequence Type (MLST) 8086, S. Teshie isolate was ST 530; Liverpool was ST 1959; Derby was ST 7880; Kokomlemle was ST 2696. The Tennessee isolates gave two different STs including ST 8395 and 8398.
Conclusion
The presented results highlight the prevalence of Salmonella on imported fish purchased from the open markets. More attention should be paid regarding fish selling conditions in the country to prevent the potential health risk for consumers.

Abstract
Background Salmonella enterica remains a leading cause of food-borne diseases worldwide. Serotype information is important in food safety and public health activities to reduce the burden of salmonellosis. In the current study, two methods were used to determine serotypes of 111 strains of Salmonella isolated from poultry feces in Burkina Faso. First, Salmonella Multiplex Assay for Rapid Typing (SMART) Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) was used to determine the serovars of the S. enterica isolates. Second, serovar prediction based on whole genome sequencing (WGS) data was performed using SeqSero 2.0. Results Among the 111 Salmonella isolates, serotypes for 17 (15.31%) isolates were identified based on comparison to a panel of representative SMART codes previously determined for the 50 most common serovars in the United States. Forty-four (44) new SMART codes were developed for common and uncommon serotypes. A total of 105 (94.59%) isolates were serotyped using SeqSero 2.0 for serovar prediction based on WGS data. Conclusion We determined that SeqSero 2.0 was more comprehensive for identifying Salmonella serotypes from Burkina Faso than SMART PCR.

Abstract
Eukaryotic transfer RNAs can become selectively fragmented upon various stresses, generating tRNA-derived small RNA fragments. Such fragmentation has been reported to impact a small fraction of the tRNA pool and thus presumed to not directly impact translation. We report that oxidative stress can rapidly generate tyrosine-tRNAGUA fragments in human cells-causing significant depletion of the precursor tRNA. Tyrosine-tRNAGUA depletion impaired translation of growth and metabolic genes enriched in cognate tyrosine codons. Depletion of tyrosine tRNAGUA or its translationally regulated targets USP3 and SCD repressed proliferation-revealing a dedicated tRNA-regulated growth-suppressive pathway for oxidative stress response. Tyrosine fragments are generated in a DIS3L2 exoribonuclease-dependent manner and inhibit hnRNPA1-mediated transcript destabilization. Moreover, tyrosine fragmentation is conserved in C. elegans. Thus, tRNA fragmentation can coordinately generate trans-acting small RNAs and functionally deplete a tRNA. Our findings reveal the existence of an underlying adaptive codon-based regulatory response inherent to the genetic code.

Abstract
Salmonella enterica is a common foodborne illness in the United States and globally. An increasing number of Salmonella infections are resistant to antibiotics, and many of the genes responsible for those resistances are carried by plasmids. Plasmids are important mediators of horizontal gene exchange, which could potentially increase the spread of antibiotic resistance (AR) genes. Twenty-eight different incompatibility groups of plasmids have been described in Enterobacteriaceae. Incompatibility groups differ in their accessory gene content, replication mechanisms, and their associations with Salmonella serotypes and animal sources. Plasmids also differ in their ability to conjugate or be mobilized, essential genes, and conditions required for transfer. It is important to understand the differences in gene content and transfer mechanisms to accurately determine the impact of plasmids on the dissemination and persistence of antibiotic resistance genes. This review will cover the most common plasmid incompatibility groups present in S. enterica with a focus on the transfer mechanisms and associated antibiotic resistance genes.

Abstract
AIM It is well-known that enterococci are abundant in the environment; however, the role of surface water as a reservoir of antimicrobial-resistant enterococci remains largely undefined. In this study, surface water samples were collected over a 2-year period from the Upper Oconee watershed, Athens, GA to examine enterococci and their antimicrobial resistance. METHODS AND RESULTS Approximately 97% (445/458) of the samples were positive for enterococci and a total of 637 enterococci were isolated. The predominant species were Enterococcus casseliflavus (33·6%) followed by Enterococcus faecalis (26·5%) and Enterococcus hirae (13·2%). Regardless of species, the highest levels of resistance were to lincomycin (88·5%) and tetracycline (13%); isolates also exhibited resistance to newer antimicrobials, daptomycin (8·9%) and tigecycline (6·4%). Multidrug resistance (resistance ≥3 antimicrobial classes) was observed to as many as five classes of antimicrobials. Resistant enterococci appeared to be randomly dispersed over the seasons rather than clustered by species or antimicrobial resistance. CONCLUSIONS This study demonstrated that surface waters contain a large population of diverse species of antimicrobial-resistant enterococci, including resistance to new antimicrobials. SIGNIFICANCE AND IMPACT OF THE STUDY These results may indicate the potential of human intestinal illness and/or colonization of the human gut with resistant enterococci as enterococci correlate with increased disease risk to humans during recreational exposure to water.

Abstract
Although kidney parenchymal tissue can be generated in vitro, reconstructing the complex vasculature of the kidney remains a daunting task. The molecular pathways that specify and sustain functional, phenotypic and structural heterogeneity of the kidney vasculature are unknown. Here, we employ high-throughput bulk and single-cell RNA sequencing of the non-lymphatic endothelial cells (ECs) of the kidney to identify the molecular pathways that dictate vascular zonation from embryos to adulthood. We show that the kidney manifests vascular-specific signatures expressing defined transcription factors, ion channels, solute transporters, and angiocrine factors choreographing kidney functions. Notably, the ontology of the glomerulus coincides with induction of unique transcription factors, including Tbx3, Gata5, Prdm1, and Pbx1. Deletion of Tbx3 in ECs results in glomerular hypoplasia, microaneurysms and regressed fenestrations leading to fibrosis in subsets of glomeruli. Deciphering the molecular determinants of kidney vascular signatures lays the foundation for rebuilding nephrons and uncovering the pathogenesis of kidney disorders. The kidney is vascularized with highly specialized and zonated endothelial cells that are essential for its filtration function. Here, Barry et al. provide a single-cell RNA sequencing analysis of the kidney vasculature that highlights its transcriptional heterogeneity and uncovers pathways important for its development and function.

Abstract
Surface water is suspected of playing a role in the development and spread of antimicrobial-resistant (AR) bacteria, including human pathogens. In our previous study, 496 Escherichia coli isolates were recovered from water samples collected over a 2-year period from the Upper Oconee watershed, Athens, GA, United States, of which 34 (6.9%) were AR isolates. Of these, six isolates were selected based on their multidrug resistance (MDR) phenotypes, the presence of mobile genetic elements, and their pathogenic potential and were subjected to whole-genome sequence (WGS) analysis to enhance our understanding of environmental MDR E. coli isolates. This study is the first report on genomic characterization of MDR E. coli from environmental water in the United States through a WGS approach. The sequences of the six MDR E. coli isolates were analyzed and the locations of their AR genes were identified. One of the E. coli isolates was an ST131 epidemic strain, which also produced an extended-spectrum β-lactamase encoded by the blaCTX-M-15 gene, carried on a plasmid that is a member of a very rarely reported family of phage-like plasmids. This is the first time an in-depth sequence analysis has been done on a blaCTX-M-15- containing phage-like plasmid, the presence of which suggests a new emerging mechanism of AR gene transmission.

Abstract
Food animals act as a reservoir for many foodborne pathogens. Salmonella enterica is one of the leading pathogens that cause food borne illness in a broad host range including animals and humans. They can also be associated with a single host species or a subset of hosts, due to genetic factors associated with colonization and infection. Adult swine are often asymptomatic carriers of a broad range of Salmonella servoars and can act as an important reservoir of infections for humans. In order to understand the genetic variations among different Salmonella serovars, Whole Genome Sequences (WGS) of fourteen Salmonella serovars from swine products were analyzed. More than 75% of the genes were part of the core genome in each isolate and the higher fraction of gene assign to different functional categories in dispensable genes indicated that these genes acquired for better adaptability and diversity. High concordance (97%) was detected between phenotypically confirmed antibiotic resistances and identified antibiotic resistance genes from WGS. The resistance determinants were mainly located on mobile genetic elements (MGE) on plasmids or integrated into the chromosome. Most of known and putative virulence genes were part of the core genome, but a small fraction were detected on MGE. Predicted integrated phage were highly diverse and many harbored virulence, metal resistance, or antibiotic resistance genes. CRISPR (Clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats) patterns revealed the common ancestry or infection history among Salmonella serovars. Overall genomic analysis revealed a great deal of diversity among Salmonella serovars due to acquired genes that enable them to thrive and survive during infection.

Abstract
Gene expression signature-based inference of functional connectivity within and between genetic perturbations, chemical perturbations, and disease status can lead to the development of actionable hypotheses for gene function, chemical modes of action, and disease treatment strategies. Here, we report a FuSiOn-based genome-wide integration of hypomorphic cellular phenotypes that enables functional annotation of gene network topology, assignment of mechanistic hypotheses to genes of unknown function, and detection of cooperativity among cell regulatory systems. Dovetailing genetic perturbation data with chemical perturbation phenotypes allowed simultaneous generation of mechanism of action hypotheses for thousands of uncharacterized natural products fractions (NPFs). The predicted mechanism of actions span a broad spectrum of cellular mechanisms, many of which are not currently recognized as "druggable." To enable use of FuSiOn as a hypothesis generation resource, all associations and analyses are available within an open source web-based GUI (http://fusion.yuhs.ac).

Abstract
Intermediary metabolism in cancer cells is regulated by diverse cell-autonomous processes, including signal transduction and gene expression patterns, arising from specific oncogenotypes and cell lineages. Although it is well established that metabolic reprogramming is a hallmark of cancer, we lack a full view of the diversity of metabolic programs in cancer cells and an unbiased assessment of the associations between metabolic pathway preferences and other cell-autonomous processes. Here, we quantified metabolic features, mostly from the 13C enrichment of molecules from central carbon metabolism, in over 80 non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) cell lines cultured under identical conditions. Because these cell lines were extensively annotated for oncogenotype, gene expression, protein expression, and therapeutic sensitivity, the resulting database enables the user to uncover new relationships between metabolism and these orthogonal processes.

Abstract
As resistance to the β-lactam class of antibiotics has become a worldwide problem, multidrug-resistant (MDR) human (n = 243) and food animal (n = 211) isolates from Lagos, Nigeria were further tested to characterize β-lactamase-encoding genes and plasmid replicons. Four β-lactamase-encoding genes (blaCMY, blaCTX-M, blaOXA, and blaTEM) were detected using PCR-based replicon typing, 13 and 17 different replicons were identified using a subset of MDR E. coli from humans (n = 48) and animals (n = 96), respectively. Replicon types FIB and X2 were detected in equal numbers (2/48; 4.2% each) from human isolates, while type Y (16/96; 16.7%) was the most common type from animals. Only two replicon types, FIB and Y, were detected in both groups; all other types were confined to one group or the other, but not both. Using conjugation, replicon type Y, present in three donors, transferred in all three instances, whereas FIA transferred in 75% (3/4) of the matings. This study showed that β-lactamase genes were prevalent in MDR E. coli from both humans and animals in Nigeria and also contained diverse plasmid replicons. As the replicon-associated genes were mobile, they are likely to continue disseminating among E. coli and facilitating transfer of associated β-lactamase genes in this region.

Abstract
The ability of antimicrobial resistance (AR) to transfer, on mobile genetic elements (MGEs) between bacteria, can cause the rapid establishment of multidrug resistance (MDR) in bacteria from animals, thus creating a foodborne risk to human health. To investigate MDR and its association with plasmids in Salmonella enterica, whole genome sequence (WGS) analysis was performed on 193 S. enterica isolated from sources associated with United States food animals between 1998 and 2011; 119 were resistant to at least one antibiotic tested. Isolates represented 86 serotypes and variants, as well as diverse phenotypic resistance profiles. A total of 923 AR genes and 212 plasmids were identified among the 193 strains. Every isolate contained at least one AR gene. At least one plasmid was detected in 157 isolates. Genes were identified for resistance to aminoglycosides (n = 472), β-lactams (n = 84), tetracyclines (n = 171), sulfonamides (n = 91), phenicols (n = 42), trimethoprim (n = 8), macrolides (n = 5), fosfomycin (n = 48), and rifampicin (n = 2). Plasmid replicon types detected in the isolates were A/C (n = 32), ColE (n = 76), F (n = 43), HI1 (n = 4), HI2 (n = 20), I1 (n = 62), N (n = 4), Q (n = 7), and X (n = 35). Phenotypic resistance correlated with the AR genes identified in 95.4% of cases. Most AR genes were located on plasmids, with many plasmids harboring multiple AR genes. Six antibiotic resistance cassette structures (ARCs) and one pseudo-cassette were identified. ARCs contained between one and five resistance genes (ARC1: sul2, strAB, tetAR; ARC2: aac3-iid; ARC3: aph, sph; ARC4: cmy-2; ARC5: floR; ARC6: tetB; pseudo-ARC: aadA, aac3-VIa, sul1). These ARCs were present in multiple isolates and on plasmids of multiple replicon types. To determine the current distribution and frequency of these ARCs, the public NCBI database was analyzed, including WGS data on isolates collected by the USDA Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) from 2014 to 2018. ARC1, ARC4, and ARC5 were significantly associated with cattle isolates, while ARC6 was significantly associated with chicken isolates. This study revealed that a diverse group of plasmids, carrying AR genes, are responsible for the phenotypic resistance seen in Salmonella isolated from United States food animals. It was also determined that many plasmids carry similar ARCs.

Abstract
Cancer testis antigens (CTA) are expressed in testis and placenta and anomalously activated in a variety of tumors. The mechanistic contribution of CTAs to neoplastic phenotypes remains largely unknown. Using a chemigenomics approach, we find that the CTA HORMAD1 correlates with resistance to the mitochondrial complex I inhibitor piericidin A in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Resistance was due to a reductive intracellular environment that attenuated the accumulation of free radicals. In human lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) tumors, patients expressing high HORMAD1 exhibited elevated mutational burden and reduced survival. HORMAD1 tumors were enriched for genes essential for homologous recombination (HR), and HORMAD1 promoted RAD51-filament formation, but not DNA resection, during HR. Accordingly, HORMAD1 loss enhanced sensitivity to γ-irradiation and PARP inhibition, and HORMAD1 depletion significantly reduced tumor growth in vivo These results suggest that HORMAD1 expression specifies a novel subtype of LUAD, which has adapted to mitigate DNA damage. In this setting, HORMAD1 could represent a direct target for intervention to enhance sensitivity to DNA-damaging agents or as an immunotherapeutic target in patients.Significance: This study uses a chemigenomics approach to demonstrate that anomalous expression of the CTA HORMAD1 specifies resistance to oxidative stress and promotes HR to support tumor cell survival in NSCLC.

Abstract
Surface waters are important sources of water for drinking, industrial, agricultural, and recreational uses; hence, contamination of water by fecal, pathogenic, or antimicrobial resistant (AR) bacteria is a major environmental and public health concern. However, very little data is available on prevalence of these bacteria in surface water throughout a watershed. This study aimed to characterize Escherichia coli present in the Upper Oconee Watershed, a mixed-use watershed in Athens, GA, USA for potential pathogenicity and AR. E. coli were enumerated by colony counts, cultured by enrichment and direct plating, and characterized by phylo-groups, diarrheagenic pathotypes, and antimicrobial susceptibility. From the analysis, 99.3% (455/458) of the total samples were positive for E. coli resulting in 496 isolates. E. coli counts were as high as 1.2×104 CFU/100 ml, which is above the United States Environmental Protection Agency (U.S. EPA) threshold for recreational water (235 CFU/100 ml based on a one-time measurement). Phylo-groups B2 (31.7%; 157/496) and B1 (30.8%; 153/496) were the most prevalent among the isolates. Enteropathogenic E. coli (EPEC) (19/496) and Shiga toxin-producing E. coli (STEC) (1/496) were the only diarrheagenic pathotypes detected. AR was observed in 6.9% (34/496) of the isolates, 15 of which were multidrug resistant (MDR; resistance to two or more classes of antimicrobials). Tetracycline resistance was most often detected (76.5%; 26/34), followed by ampicillin (32.4%; 11/34), streptomycin (23.5%; 8/34), sulfisoxazole (23.5%; 8/34), and nalidixic acid (14.7%; 5/34). Results from this study showed that E. coli is prevalent in high levels in the Upper Oconee Watershed, suggesting possible widespread fecal contamination. The presence of pathogenic, AR E. coli in the watershed indicates that environmental water can serve as a reservoir of resistant bacteria that may be transferred to humans through drinking and recreational activities.

Abstract
Drugs that mirror the cellular effects of starvation mimics are considered promising therapeutics for common metabolic disorders, such as obesity, liver steatosis, and for ageing. Starvation, or caloric restriction, is known to activate the transcription factor EB (TFEB), a master regulator of lipid metabolism and lysosomal biogenesis and function. Here, we report a nanotechnology-enabled high-throughput screen to identify small-molecule agonists of TFEB and discover three novel compounds that promote autophagolysosomal activity. The three lead compounds include the clinically approved drug, digoxin; the marine-derived natural product, ikarugamycin; and the synthetic compound, alexidine dihydrochloride, which is known to act on a mitochondrial target. Mode of action studies reveal that these compounds activate TFEB via three distinct Ca2+-dependent mechanisms. Formulation of these compounds in liver-tropic biodegradable, biocompatible nanoparticles confers hepatoprotection against diet-induced steatosis in murine models and extends lifespan of Caenorhabditis elegans. These results support the therapeutic potential of small-molecule TFEB activators for the treatment of metabolic and age-related disorders. Activation of autophagy, via the transcription factor TFEB, is a promising strategy to treat metabolic diseases. Here, the authors report three novel classes of small molecules that promote TFEB nuclear translocation, and provide evidence for the therapeutic efficacy of these compounds in mice and worms.

Abstract
Emerging observations link dysregulation of TANK-binding kinase 1 (TBK1) to developmental disorders, inflammatory disease, and cancer. Biochemical mechanisms accounting for direct participation of TBK1 in host defense signaling have been well described. However, the molecular underpinnings of the selective participation of TBK1 in a myriad of additional cell biological systems in normal and pathophysiologic contexts remain poorly understood. To elucidate the context-selective role of TBK1 in cancer cell survival, we employed a combination of broad-scale chemogenomic and interactome discovery strategies to generate data-driven mechanism-of-action hypotheses. This approach uncovered evidence that TBK1 supports AKT/mTORC1 pathway activation and function through direct modulation of multiple pathway components acting both upstream and downstream of the mTOR kinase itself. Furthermore, we identified distinct molecular features in which mesenchymal, Ras-mutant lung cancer is acutely dependent on TBK1-mediated support of AKT/mTORC1 pathway activation for survival.

Abstract
Genomic diversity among melanoma tumors limits durable control with conventional and targeted therapies. Nevertheless, pathologic activation of the ERK1/2 pathway is a linchpin tumorigenic mechanism associated with the majority of primary and recurrent disease. Therefore, we sought to identify therapeutic targets that are selectively required for tumorigenicity in the presence of pathologic ERK1/2 signaling. By integration of multigenome chemical and genetic screens, recurrent architectural variants in melanoma tumor genomes, and patient outcome data, we identified two mechanistic subtypes of BRAFV600 melanoma that inform new cancer cell biology and offer new therapeutic opportunities. Subtype membership defines sensitivity to clinical MEK inhibitors versus TBK1/IKBKε inhibitors. Importantly, subtype membership can be predicted using a robust quantitative five-feature genetic biomarker. This biomarker, and the mechanistic relationships linked to it, can identify a cohort of best responders to clinical MEK inhibitors and identify a cohort of TBK1/IKBKε inhibitor-sensitive disease among nonresponders to current targeted therapy.Significance: This study identified two mechanistic subtypes of melanoma: (1) the best responders to clinical BRAF/MEK inhibitors (25%) and (2) nonresponders due to primary resistance mechanisms (9.9%). We identified robust biomarkers that can detect these subtypes in patient samples and predict clinical outcome. TBK1/IKBKε inhibitors were selectively toxic to drug-resistant melanoma.

Abstract
Modern cancer treatment employs many effective chemotherapeutic agents originally discovered from natural sources. However, a significant challenge currently confronting clinical application is balancing systemic toxicity risk with therapeutic benefit. The cyclic depsipeptide didemnin B has demonstrated impressive anti-cancer activity in preclinical models. Clinical use has been approved but is limited by sparse patient responses combined with toxicity risk and an unclear mechanism of action. From a broad-scale effort to match antineoplastic natural products to their cellular activities, we found that didemnin B selectively induces rapid and wholesale apoptosis through dual inhibition of PPT1 and EEF1A1. Furthermore, empirical discovery of a small panel of exceptional responders to didemnin B allowed generation of a regularized regression model to extract a sparse-feature genetic biomarker capable of predicting sensitivity to didemnin B. This may facilitate patient selection that could enhance and expand therapeutic application of didemnin B against neoplastic disease.

Abstract
Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDA) has a dismal prognosis and insights into both disease etiology and targeted intervention are needed. A total of 109 micro-dissected PDA cases were subjected to whole-exome sequencing. Microdissection enriches tumour cellularity and enhances mutation calling. Here we show that environmental stress and alterations in DNA repair genes associate with distinct mutation spectra. Copy number alterations target multiple tumour suppressive/oncogenic loci; however, amplification of MYC is uniquely associated with poor outcome and adenosquamous subtype. We identify multiple novel mutated genes in PDA, with select genes harbouring prognostic significance. RBM10 mutations associate with longer survival in spite of histological features of aggressive disease. KRAS mutations are observed in >90% of cases, but codon Q61 alleles are selectively associated with improved survival. Oncogenic BRAF mutations are mutually exclusive with KRAS and define sensitivity to vemurafenib in PDA models. High-frequency alterations in Wnt signalling, chromatin remodelling, Hedgehog signalling, DNA repair and cell cycle processes are observed. Together, these data delineate new genetic diversity of PDA and provide insights into prognostic determinants and therapeutic targets. Diagnosis of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDA) has poor long-term survival rates with limited therapy options. Here Witkiewicz et al. use microdissection and whole-exome sequencing to identify novel recurrent PDA mutations, highlighting the genetic diversity of this aggressive cancer.

Abstract
Nicotine up-regulates NeuroD1 in bronchial epithelial cells and certain undifferentiated carcinomas. NeuroD1 enhances expression of nicotinic acetylcholine receptor subunits. Increased invasion in Matrigel depends on these receptor subunits. Nicotine may induce positive feedback through NeuroD1 and increased expression of its own receptor. Cigarette smoking is a major risk factor for acquisition of small cell lung cancer (SCLC). A role has been demonstrated for the basic helix-loop-helix transcription factor NeuroD1 in the pathogenesis of neural and neuroendocrine lung cancer, including SCLC. In the present study we investigate the possible function of NeuroD1 in established tumors, as well as actions early on in pathogenesis, in response to nicotine. We demonstrate that nicotine up-regulates NeuroD1 in immortalized normal bronchial epithelial cells and a subset of undifferentiated carcinomas. Increased expression of NeuroD1 subsequently leads to regulation of expression and function of the nicotinic acetylcholine receptor subunit cluster of α3, α5, and β4. In addition, we find that coordinated expression of these subunits by NeuroD1 leads to enhanced nicotine-induced migration and invasion, likely through changes in intracellular calcium. These findings suggest that aspects of the pathogenesis of neural and neuroendocrine lung cancers may be affected by a nicotine- and NeuroD1-induced positive feedback loop.
