Proteomics of Pteridium aquilinum provides insights on stem lignification mechanisms.

BACKGROUND AND AIMS Stem lignification seriously reduces the edible quality and marketability of Pteridium aquilinum, a popular wild vegetable. This study aimed to explore the molecular mechanism underlying stem lignification during longitudinal development. METHODS We performed 4D-proteomics based on data-independen...

Proteostasis in the regulation of pancreatic islet cell plasticity

It is proposed that proteostasis functions as an active physiological signaling network that governs islet cell adaptation, plasticity, and long‐term homeostasis, extending beyond its conventional role in the response to cellular damage.

Backbone and side chain 1H, 13C and 15N chemical shift assignment of the cargo-recognition domain MOTH of human TANGO1

The cellular export of large-sized proteins, such as collagen or fibrillin, necessitates a specialized transport pathway tailored towards their size. For collagen and possibly also other bulky proteins, the Transport ANd Golgi Organization 1 (TANGO1) protein plays a substantial role in the transfer from the Endoplasmic...

Polyploid Achromatium sp. expresses protein variants based on environmental cues

This work incubates freshly collected freshwater Achromatium under three temperature conditions and provides the first indication that Achromatium uses distinct protein variants under different environmental conditions, enabling it to swiftly respond to environmental changes through differential expression from its cac...

Harnessing coumarin privilege to achieve potency and selectivity: hypoxia-targeted alkyl coumarin-tethered phenyl quinazolinones as dual hCA IX/HSP90α inhibitors with chemosensitizing activity

A series of alkyl coumarin-tethered phenyl quinazolinones were rationally designed and synthesized as hypoxia-targeted dual hCA IX/HSP90α inhibitors, exhibiting potent, highly selective inhibition of hCA IX (in the nanomolar range), while displaying negligible activity against the off-target isoforms hCA I and II.

Balanced regulation of UvsX activity and thermostability based on active learning.

A directed engineering strategy is employed combining energy-based screening and protein language models to obtain a triple mutant, TIG, which enhances residue flexibility and remodels the ATP-binding pocket, thereby improving DNA-binding pathway connectivity and strengthening the coupling between ATP hydrolysis and DN...

Hierarchical cysteine oxidation controls reversible amyloid formation in an ankyrin repeat protein

It is shown that a zebrafish protein, drP18, can transition into an amyloid fold, driven by a sophisticated two-cysteine oxidation mechanism, suggesting that oxidation-driven amyloid formation can act as a more general mechanism of protein regulation.
