Computational characterization of the uncharacterized human protein C17orf58 identifies a PCOLCE-like NTR domain and predicts a C-terminal mode of metalloproteinase binding

A substantial fraction of human proteins have no described function. C17orf58 (UniProt Q2M2W7; "UPF0450 protein C17orf58") is one of them: it has no experimental structure and no functional literature. Here I report a computational characterization of C17orf58 that combines structure prediction, structural homology sea...

In vitro pharmacological profiling of ITE amide bioisosteric aryl hydrocarbon receptor agonist

Previously, we reported ITE-derived bioisostere 2-(1 H -indole-3-carbonyl)-N-methyl thiazole-4-carboxamide (ITE-CONHCH 3 ) as a high-affinity ligand and potent agonist of the aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR) with anti-colitis properties. In the current study, we present its initial in vitro pharmacological profi...

Disulphide maintenance systems and proteostasis

Abstract Protein disulphide formation between cysteine residues impacts protein folding and function, yet the context in which it occurs often determines whether it is beneficial or detrimental. To ensure proper disulphide status, organisms have evolved compartment-specific disulphide maintenance systems. Some of these...

Mechanisms of protein transport between subcompartments of the cone photoreceptor outer segment membrane system.

COS plasma membrane acts as a shunt conducting free transmembrane proteins between lamellae by Brownian diffusion, even in the presence of crowding effects and complex membrane geometry, while lamellae are capacitive sources/sinks.

MS3 acquisition and μ-SPE cleanup enable sensitive quantification of PPG1000 in zebrafish tissues: systematic comparison with MRM and in-source CID strategies.

This work provides the first systematic comparison of MRM, MS3, and in-source CID for PPG quantification, establishing a sensitive analytical platform with complementary greenness and practical applicability assessments using AGREE, AGSA, CACI, and GEMAM, for polymer bioanalysis in complex matrices.

RNA engineering approaches to aid high-resolution structure determination of medium- to large-sized RNAs.

High-resolution structure determination of RNA remains a major challenge due to its conformational flexibility, intrinsic heterogeneity, and susceptibility to degradation. Although RNA plays central roles in gene regulation, viral replication, and cellular homeostasis, RNA-only structures represent a small fraction of...

Novel KIR2DS4:HLA-B*35 interaction predicts HLA-B*35 positive patient survival post hematopoietic stem cell transplant.

Haplo-identical hematopoietic cell transplantation (haploHCT) is an integral treatment paradigm for patients with leukemia. While overall survival (OS) post-haploHCT has steadily improved, relapse-free survival (RFS) remains relatively stagnant. Upon the discovery of killer immunoglobulin-like receptors (KIRs) on natur...

The microbiota–proteostasis axis: implications in neurodegenerative diseases

Abstract Disruption of protein homoeostasis, or proteostasis, is a hallmark of protein conformational diseases (PCDs), including Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease. These disorders are characterized by progressive protein aggregation and cellular dysfunction, yet no effective therapies exist. Emerging evidence indicat...

Proteostasis and ageing dissidence

Abstract Proteostasis, the process governing the dynamic regulation of protein synthesis, folding and degradation, is critical for maintaining cell function and organismal health. Ageing disrupts this intricate system, leading to inactive, misfolded and/or aggregated proteins that contribute to age-associated pathologi...

BTK/BCL2 dual targeting enhances apoptosis in marginal zone lymphoma: preclinical activity of tacabrutideg (BGB-16673) and sonrotoclax.

Tacabrutideg demonstrates potent preclinical activity in MZL as a single agent and in combination regimens, and together with the superior activity of sonrotoclax, these findings provide a strong rationale for the clinical evaluation of dual BTK degradation and BCL2 inhibition in patients with MZL.
