(KFF)3K-acpP
(KFF)3K-acpP is an antibacterial agent conjugating of cell penetrating peptide (KFF)3K (HY-P10556) and acpP
peptide nucleic acid. (KFF)3K-acpP binds to the translation start site region of acpP mRNA, sterically blocking ribosome binding and inhibiting translation of the acyl carrier protein. (KFF)3K-acpP induces bacterial envelope stress response pathways, and triggers depletion of outer membrane protein F (ompF) transcript. (KFF)3K-acpP can be used for the research of infections.

Biological Activity
Description
peptide nucleic acid. (KFF)3K-acpP binds to the translation start site region of acpP mRNA, sterically blocking ribosome binding and inhibiting translation of the acyl carrier protein. (KFF)3K-acpP induces bacterial envelope stress response pathways, and triggers depletion of outer membrane protein F (ompF) transcript. (KFF)3K-acpP can be used for the research of infections[1].
In Vitro
(KFF) 3K-acpP (1.25 μM; 24 h) inhibits visible growth of UPEC 536 with a MIC of 1.25 μM[1].
(KFF) 3K-acpP (5 μM; 15 min) treatment of UPEC 536 causes a 4.8-fold depletion of acpP mRNA, along with off-target transcript depletion and induction of envelope stress response pathways[1].

Research Protocol for Infectious Diseases
Infectious-disease experiments test how pathogens interact with host barriers, innate immune receptors, inflammatory signaling, pathogen replication, and tissue injury; pattern-recognition receptors such as TLRs, RIG-I-like receptors, NOD-like receptors, and inflammasomes detect microbial molecules and activate NF-κB, interferon, and cytokine responses. The central hypothesis is that infection severity reflects the balance between pathogen burden and host response: protective inflammation restricts pathogen growth, whereas excessive or mislocalized inflammation contributes to tissue damage and disease phenotype. Unresolved questions include which host pathways are protective versus pathogenic, why some infection models fail to translate to human disease, and which combined readouts best predict clinically relevant infection outcomes.

RNA extraction experimental
By lysing cells, releasing RNA, and removing impurities such as proteins and DNA, high-purity RNA products are finally obtained. The commonly used traditional method is the guanidine isothiocyanate/phenol/chloroform method (Trizol), which is suitable for a variety of animal materials including animal tissues, microorganisms, cultured cells, etc., and most plant materials.

Membrane Protein Extraction Using Detergents and Chaotropes
Membrane protein extraction with detergents and chaotropes solubilizes lipid-bilayer-associated proteins by disrupting protein-lipid and protein-protein interactions while maintaining proteins in a soluble state for downstream electrophoresis, purification, or mass spectrometry. Chaotropes such as urea and thiourea improve solubilization of difficult proteins, while nonionic and zwitterionic detergents such as CHAPS, ASB-14, SB 3-10, MEGA-10, dodecyl maltoside, and Triton X-100 differ in extraction efficiency depending on sample type and membrane protein properties.
