Article Abstract
We have constructed a phage-displayed library based on the human fibronectin tenth type III domain (FN3) scaffold by randomizing residues in its FG and BC loops. Screening against the SH3 domain of human c-Src yielded six different clones. Five of these contained proline-rich sequences in their FG loop that resembled class I (i.e., +xxPxxP) peptide ligands for the Src SH3 domain. The sixth clone lacked the proline-rich sequence and showed particularly high binding specificity to the Src SH3 domain among various SH3 domains tested. Competitive binding, loop replacement, and NMR perturbation experiments were conducted to analyze the recognition properties of selected binders. The strongest binder was able to pull down full-length c-Src from murine fibroblast cell extracts, further demonstrating the potential of this scaffold for use as an antibody mimetic.

The transcription factor signal transducer and activator of transcription (STAT)4 is a potential target for autoimmune diseases, such as inflammatory bowel disease, multiple sclerosis, rheumatoid arthritis, and diabetes mellitus. p-Biphenyl phosphate is reported as an inhibitor of the STAT4 Src homology 2 domain, and it is developed to the phosphonate-based inhibitor Stafori-1. Herein, structure-activity relationships of p-biaryl phosphates against STAT4 and their selectivity profiles against other STAT proteins are reported.

Objectives: The Sorbin and SH3 domain containing 1 (SORBS1), a protein linked to insulin signaling CBL interaction, was investigated for its role in pancreatic cancer apoptosis. This study explored polyphyllin H (PPH)'s ability to restore SORBS1-knockdown-mediated repair functions.
Methods: PANC-1 cells were divided into Blank, overexpression (OE), and knockdown groups.
Expression analysis of the adaptor proteins Sh2b family during zebrafish embryonic development.

The SH2B family, which includes SH2B1, SH2B2, and SH2B3, consists of adaptor proteins that possess conserved Src homology 2 (SH2) and pleckstrin homology (PH) domains, playing essential roles as signaling mediators. However, the gene expression patterns of this family during embryonic development are still mostly unclear. In this study, we first investigated the evolutionary conservation of SH2B across multiple species using phylogenetic analysis, which revealed high sequence homology between zebrafish Sh2b and its orthologs in other vertebrates.

Ferlins are vesicle trafficking proteins composed of folded C2 domains conjugated by linkers which are largely disordered. Although a role for the C2 domains as calcium sensors has been established it remains unclear whether the linkers function beyond acting as passive spacers. We examined the C2A-C2B linker sequences of vertebrate ferlins and found both putative short linear motifs (SLiMs) as well as membrane binding sequences for members of the protein family.

Introduction: The present study was undertaken to elucidate the expression status and molecular mechanism underlying microRNA-3127-5p (miR-3127-5p) in polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS).
Material And Methods: A total of 50 PCOS and 50 non-PCOS patients were recruited as research subjects. Quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction was employed to assess the relative abundances of miR-3127-5p in serum, cumulus cells (CCs), and granulosa cells (GCs) from PCOS patients.
