Article Abstract
The discovery of histone demethylases (HDMs) has greatly advanced our epigenetic understanding, particularly their role in post-translational modifications of histones. HDMs regulate cellular functions, such as X chromosome inactivation, differentiation, cell-based aging, and deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) damage repair. Although crucial for regulating genetic expression, post-translational modifications have been implicated in developing several diseases. The discovery and development of inhibitors targeting HDMs have emerged as an active and rapidly expanding research field over the last few years. This review attempts to collate the available information on different isoforms of HDMs, substrate selectivity, and involvement in various biological functions. Also, the existing as well as emerging HDM inhibitors, especially inhibitors of histone lysine (K) demethylase 1 (KDM1) and the jumonji-C (JmjC) family demethylases (KDM 2-8), are reported along with analysis on insights for the future development of HDM inhibitors.

Wings apart-like protein (WAPL) has emerged as a key player in maintaining genome integrity through its regulation of cohesin dynamics, which govern chromatin architecture and gene expression. WAPL mainly acts as a cohesin release factor and ensures proper chromosomal segregation during mitosis by promoting sister chromatid resolution. Owing to its prominent role in cell biology, WAPL dysregulation can cause genomic instability and disrupt chromosomal cohesion, leading to diseases such as cancer.

Monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) present analytical challenges due to their inherent heterogeneity and susceptibility to post-translational modifications (PTMs) during production and storage. Monitoring of charge heterogeneity profiles by imaged capillary isoelectric focusing (icIEF) has been aided by the use of non-detergent sulfobetaines (NDSBs), particularly NDSB-211, to enhance protein solubility and stability. When used in a quality control laboratory setting, NDSB-211 has shown performance variability over time due to residual manufacturing impurities that impact the capillary isoelectric focusing separation.

Background: Targeted bottom-up proteomics is of great interest for the straightforward, accurate, and sensitive measurement of specific protein biomarkers from surrogate peptide fragments. However, this approach typically relies on off-line enzymatic digestion with trypsin, a time-consuming step that may be inadequate for covering certain sequence regions containing important post-translational modifications (PTMs).
Results: In this study, we present an in-line enzymatic digestion strategy for the targeted bottom-up analysis of α-synuclein (α-syn), which is a protein biomarker of Parkinson's disease (PD).

Epigenetic mechanisms are essential in neurogenesis during development and adulthood. DNA methylation, histone post-translational modifications, and non-coding RNAs regulate gene expression to maintain the neural stem cell pool and direct the fate of newborn neurons by modulating cell proliferation, migration, differentiation, maturation, and survival. Adult neurogenesis exhibits bidirectional interactions with non-social and socio-sexual factors such as sexual behavior, mate recognition, pair bonding, parental behavior, and offspring recognition.

The rise of AlphaFold and similar structure predictors has made it possible to determine the 3D structure of almost any protein from its amino acid sequence. Residue interaction networks (RINs), graphs where residues are represented as nodes and interactions as edges, provide a powerful framework for analyzing and interpreting this surge in structural data. Here, we provide a comprehensive introduction to RINs, exploring different approaches to constructing and analyzing them, including their integration with molecular dynamics (MD) simulations and artificial intelligence (AI).
