Before the Threshold: Hyperinsulinemia as a Candidate Modifiable Driver of β-Cell Exhaustion in Genetically Burdened, Normoglycemic Offspring of Patients With Type 2 Diabetes — A Translational Hypothesis and Prototype Risk Matrix for Trial Design

Background. Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is diagnosed at decompensation thresholds — fasting plasma glucose (FPG) ≥126 mg/dL or HbA1c ≥6.5% — that typically declare disease only after substantial β-cell loss. Normoglycemic offspring of parents with T2DM carry several-fold lifetime risk yet receive no structured surv...

Not the protein but the surface sets where corneal deposits form and stop: model code and digitised source data

Model code, digitised source data and figure scripts for a forward model of deposit formation in granular corneal dystrophy type 2 (TGFBI R124H), treated as precipitation of a slightly supersaturated protein in a curved, partly non-renewing tissue rather than as a protein-folding disease. The work has no experimental d...

From Protein Design to the Energy Landscape of a Cold Unfolding Protein

Understanding protein folding is crucial for protein sciences. The conformational spaces and energy landscapes of cold (unfolded) protein states, as well as the associated transitions, are hardly explored. Furthermore, it is not known how structure relates to the cooperativity of cold transitions, if cold and heat unfo...

Proteomic Profiling Reveals Intracellular Regulatory Network Disturbance Induced by QseB Deletion in Glaesserella parasuis

In summary, loss of qseB disrupts the QseB/QseC system, which affects stress response, metabolism, and cell structure, providing clues for understanding the pathogenic mechanisms of G. parasuis.

The fold-switching benchmark for multi-state structure prediction is 53% near-isomorphic: on the audited strict tier, AlphaFold2's two-state recovery is 0/23

Evaluating multi-state structure prediction requires a reference set that can distinguish genuine two-state recovery from a single-fold output that happens to match two similar reference states — and the de facto standard, the 92 experimentally characterized fold-switching proteins on which the field has evaluated sinc...

A Single Amino Acid in the A2 Linker of Cholera Toxin Affects the Efficiency of Toxin Disassembly and Resulting Toxicity

The collective data uncover the critical role of D229 in toxin folding and structural dynamics, which in turn impacts toxin potency through effects on the efficiency of PDI-driven toxin disassembly.

Consequences of mitochondrial protein aggregation

Toxic protein aggregates can accumulate in the cytosol and within organelles of cells when protein quality control machinery fails. Here, we systematically analyzed the consequences of protein aggregation in mitochondria by targeting aggregation-prone proteins to the mitochondrial matrix in Saccharomyces cerevisiae and...

Catechol-O-methyltransferase connects dopamine homeostasis to redox signaling, metal homeostasis, and protein folding in schizophrenia.

Dysregulated dopamine (DA) signaling and redox homeostasis contributes to multiple neuropsychiatric and neurodegenerative disorders. Polymorphisms that influence the activity of catechol-O-methyltransferase (COMT), an enzyme critical for degrading DA in the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex, have been implicated in behavi...

Protein‐Nanoarchitectures for Low‐Field Intracellular Electro‐Immunomodulation

Precisely controlling cell function at the cellular level, rather than through macro‐device interfaces, remains a central challenge for advanced electroceuticals. Here, we report a conductive, protein‐mediated nanoarchitecture in which the bifunctional enzyme dehydroquinate dehydratase/shikimate dehydrogenase (DHQ‐SD...
