Objective To construct the K64 capsule depolymerase recombinant protein,Dep44,and investigate its potential application against carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae(CRKP)infections.Methods The de-polymerase-encoding phage vB_Kpn_HF1013(GenBank:PP803128)was isolated and genomically analyzed to screen for candidate depolymerases.The recombinant protein Dep44 was constructed and functionally verified for depolymerase activity.Dep44 sensitive range was validated and Dep44 antimicrobial activity was assessed by bio-film disruption and serum sterilization assays.Results The tail spike protein of phage vB_Kpn_HF1013 exhibited depolymerase activity and recombinant protein Dep44 specifically degraded K64 CRKP capsule.Biofilm eradication assays demonstrated that recombinant Dep44 at both 2 μg/mL and 10 μg/mL significantly disrupted bacterial bio-films relative to the control.Serum bactericidal assays showed that Dep44 exhibited synergistic activity with serum,dependent on the complement system,as Dep44 alone lacked bactericidal properties.Conclusion Dep44 effec-tively targets and degrades K64 CRKP capsule,disrupts biofilms,and enhances serum bactericidal activity,high-lighting its potential for managing K64 CRKP infections and clearing biofilms from medical devices.

Objective : To evaluate the prognostic value of a radiomics model based on the peritumoral region of gli- oma． Methods : 138 patients with glioma were retrospectively analyzed ，medical imaging interaction toolkit ( MITK) software was used to obtain the magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) images of peritumoral area 5 mm，10 mm and 20 mm from the tumor edge and extract texture features．The texture features were screened the radiomics model was established and the radiomic score was calculated．A clinical prediction model and a combined predic- tion model along with Rad-score and clinical risk factors were established．The combined prediction model was dis- played as a nomogram，and the predictive performance of the model for survival in glioma patients was evaluated. Results : In the validation set，the C-index value of the radiomics model based on the peritumoral region 10 mm a- way from the tumor edge based on T2 weighted image (T2WI) images was 0. 663 (95% CI = 0. 72－0. 78) ，resul- ting in the best prediction performance．On the training set and validation set，the C-index of the nomogram was 0. 770 and 0. 730，respectively，indicating that the prediction performance of nomogram was better than those of the radiomics model and clinical prediction model．The model had the highest prediction effect on the 3-year survival rate of glioma patients (training set area under curve (AUC) = 0. 93，95% CI = 0. 83 － 0. 98 ; validation set AUC = 0. 88，95% CI = 0. 76 －0. 99) ．The calibration curve showed that the joint prediction nomogram in both the training set and the validation set had good performance． Conclusion The combined prediction model based on the preoperative T2WI images in the peritumoral region 10 mm from the tumor edge and the clinicopathological risk factors can accurately predict the prognosis of glioma，providing the best effect of prediction on the 3-year survival rate of glioma.

Histone lysine methyltransferases (HKMTs) deposit methyl groups onto lysine residues on histones and play important roles in regulating chromatin structure and gene expression. The structures and functions of HKMTs have been extensively investigated in recent decades, significantly advancing our understanding of the dynamic regulation of histone methylation. Here, we review the recent progress in structural studies of representative HKMTs in complex with nucleosomes (H3K4, H3K27, H3K36, H3K79, and H4K20 methyltransferases), with emphasis on the molecular mechanisms of nucleosome recognition and trans-histone crosstalk by these HKMTs. These structural studies inform HKMTs' roles in tumorigenesis and provide the foundations for developing new therapeutic approaches targeting HKMTs in cancers.
