Article Abstract
NF-κB transcription factors control a wide array of important cellular and organismal processes in eukaryotes. All NF-κB transcription factors bind to DNA target sites as dimers. In vertebrates, there are five NF-κB subunits, p50, p52, RelA (p65), c-Rel, and RelB, that can form almost all combinations of homodimers and heterodimers, which recognize distinct, but overlapping, target sequences. In this chapter, we describe the use of protein-binding microarrays (PBMs), a high-throughput method to measure the binding of proteins to different DNA sequences. PBM datasets allow for sensitive comparisons of NF-κB dimer DNA-binding differences and can aid in the computational and experimental prediction of NF-κB target genes.

E3 ubiquitin ligases regulate the cellular proteome proteasome-dependent protein degradation; however, there exist limited studies outlining their non-canonical functions. RNA-binding ubiquitin ligases (RBULs) represent a subset of E3 ligases that harbour RNA-binding domains, making them uniquely positioned to function as both RNA-binding proteins and E3 ligases. Our initial microarray screen for E3 ligases from mouse cortical neural progenitor cells identified MEX3B, a known RNA-binding ubiquitin ligase, to be differentially expressed.

Lectins are carbohydrate-binding proteins which play key roles in various biological processes, including cell signaling, pathogen recognition and development. Previous research conducted on ricin-B lectin domains and carbohydrate-binding modules of family 13 (CBM13) illustrated the striking resemblances between these two groups of protein domains. In this study, we report on the discovery, identification and putative biochemical characteristics of a ricin-B-like domain that is unique for GH27 enzymes from land plants, identified in the OsAPSE enzyme from Japanese rice (Oryza sativa L.

Calcium oxalate (CaOx) stones are prevalent in urinary tract stone disease. While their formation can be induced in rats by administering ethylene glycol and vitamin D, the initial nucleation and formation processes are unclear. Here, we aimed to determine where CaOx crystals initially form, examine the associated histological and morphological changes, and clarify the genes whose expression varies at those sites and their function.

Bisected and core-fucosylated N-glycans represent a distinct class of complex biomolecules that are implicated in diverse biological and pathological processes. The structural complexity and synthetic challenges of these glycans hinder comprehensive understanding of their biological functions due to limited access to well-defined samples. Despite advances in the complex N-glycan synthesis, the efficient preparation of bisected and core-fucosylated asymmetric N-glycans with various branches and terminal epitopes remains an unmet challenge.

Transcription factors (TFs) regulate gene expression by interacting with DNA in a sequence-specific manner. High-throughput in vitro technologies, such as protein-binding microarrays and HT-SELEX (high-throughput systematic evolution of ligands by exponential enrichment), have revealed the DNA-binding specificities of hundreds of TFs. However, they have limited ability to reliably identify lower-affinity DNA binding sites, which are increasingly recognized as important for precise spatiotemporal control of gene expression.
