Article Abstract

Immunopeptidomics is becoming an increasingly important field of study. The capability to identify immunopeptides with pivotal roles in the human immune system is essential to shift the current curative medicine towards personalized medicine. Throughout the years, the field has matured, giving insight into the current pitfalls. Nowadays, it is commonly accepted that generalizing shotgun proteomics workflows is malpractice because immunopeptidomics faces numerous challenges. While many of these difficulties have been addressed, the road towards the ideal workflow remains complicated. Although the presence of Posttranslational modifications (PTMs) in the immunopeptidome has been demonstrated, their identification remains highly challenging despite their significance for immunotherapies. The large number of unpredictable modifications in the immunopeptidome plays a pivotal role in the functionality and these challenges. This review provides a comprehensive overview of the current advancements in immunopeptidomics. We delve into the challenges associated with identifying PTMs within the immunopeptidome, aiming to address the current state of the field.

Objective: This study investigated the locations of amino acid modifications within two major human hair keratins (Type I K31 and Type II K85) with probable implications for protein and hair structural component integrity. The particular focus was on cysteine modifications that disrupt intra-protein and inter-protein disulphide bonds.

Methods: Human hair was exposed to accelerated, sequential heat or UV treatments, simulating effects resulting from the use of heated styling tools and environmental exposure over a time frame approximating one year.

The effect of non-functionalized polystyrene nanoparticles (PS-NPs) with diameters of 29, 44, and 72 nm on plasmid DNA integrity and the expression of genes involved in the architecture of chromatin was investigated in human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs). The cells were incubated with PS-NPs at concentrations ranging from 0.001 to 100 µg/mL for 24 hours.

Endometrial cancer (EC) is one of the most common gynecological cancers in developed countries. Like EC, most female reproductive tract malignancies are thought to be hormonally driven, with estrogen signaling acting as an oncogenic signal. The actions of estrogen are mediated through the classical nuclear estrogen receptors α (ER-α) and β (ER-β) as well as transmembrane G protein-coupled estrogen receptors (GPR30 and GPER).

Many organisms have adapted to survive anoxic or hypoxic environments, but the epigenetic responses involved in this successful stress response are not well described in most species. Embryos of the annual killifish have the greatest tolerance to anoxia of all vertebrates, making them a powerful model to study the cellular mechanisms necessary for anoxia tolerance. However, the global histone landscape of this species has never been quantified or explored in relation to stress tolerance.

Neuronal development and function are orchestrated by a plethora of regulatory mechanisms that control the abundance, localization, interactions, and function of proteins. A key role in this regard is assumed by post-translational protein modifications (PTMs). While some PTM types, such as phosphorylation or ubiquitination, have been explored comprehensively, PTMs involving ubiquitin-like modifiers (Ubls) have remained comparably enigmatic (Ubls).
