Article Abstract

Reported here is the application of three protein folding stability profiling techniques (including the stability of proteins from rates of oxidation, thermal protein profiling, and limited proteolysis approaches) to identify differentially stabilized proteins in six patient-derived colorectal cancer (CRC) cell lines with different oxaliplatin sensitivities and eight CRC patient-derived xenografts (PDXs) derived from two of the patient derived cell lines with different oxaliplatin sensitivities. Compared to conventional protein expression level analyses, which were also performed here, the stability profiling techniques identified both unique and novel proteins and cellular components that differentiated the sensitive and resistant samples including 36 proteins that were differentially stabilized in at least two techniques in both the cell line and PDX studies of oxaliplatin resistance. These 36 differentially stabilized proteins included 10 proteins previously connected to cancer chemoresistance. Two differentially stabilized proteins, fatty acid synthase and elongation factor 2, were functionally validated and found to be druggable protein targets with biological functions that can be modulated to improve the efficacy of CRC chemotherapy. These results add to our understanding of CRC oxaliplatin resistance, suggest biomarker candidates for predicting oxaliplatin sensitivity in CRC, and inform new strategies for overcoming chemoresistance in CRC.

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.

CALCIUM-DEPENDENT PROTEIN KINASES (CDPKs/CPKs) are central components in plant signaling networks, orchestrating growth, development, and stress responses. However, their functions in thermomorphogenesis-an essential thermal-adaptation response-particularly their coordination with the core transcription factors PHYTOCHROME-INTERACTING FACTORs 4 and 7 (PIF4 and PIF7), remains elusive. Here we show that AtCPK4/5/6/11/12 physically interact with PIF4 and PIF7.

Diabetic nephropathy (DN) is a major complication of diabetes, imposing substantial socioeconomic and public health challenges. N6-methyladenosine (m6A) modification, a prevalent epigenetic mechanism, influences cellular processes and disease progression. Wilms' tumor 1-associating protein (WTAP), an m6A methyltransferase subunit, was investigated for its role in DN.

Introduction: leaves (FSL), a traditional Chinese ethnomedicinal herbal material used to prepare health-promoting infusions and pharmacologically noted for their robust anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and broad-spectrum antiviral activities, nevertheless have an as-yet-uncharacterized molecular mechanism of action against human adenovirus (HAdV).

Methods: Ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography coupled with Q-Exactive Orbitrap mass spectrometry (UHPLC-Q-Exactive-Orbitrap/MS) was employed to identification of FSL components. Publicly available GEO datasets were mined to identify HAdV-associated differentially expressed genes (DEGs).
