Cleavage of transmembrane segments on target proteins by the aspartyl intramembrane protease signal peptide peptidase (SPP, encoded by HM13) has been linked to immunity, viral infection and protein quality control. How SPP recognizes its various substrates and specifies their fate remains elusive. Here, we identify the lanosterol demethylase CYP51A1 as an SPP substrate and show that SPP-catalysed cleavage triggers CYP51A1 clearance by endoplasmic reticulum-associated degradation (ERAD).

Article Synopsis
  • A study aimed to adapt the universal mental health literacy scale for adolescents (UMHL-A) for use in Turkey, addressing the lack of specific mental health literacy tools for adolescents in the region.
  • Data were collected from 268 adolescents aged 10 to 14, evaluating the scale's validity and reliability through confirmatory factor analysis and measures of internal consistency.
  • The adapted Turkish UMHL-A, consisting of Likert and true/false components, showed high reliability scores, indicating it is a valid tool for assessing adolescents' mental health literacy, useful for health professionals in both clinical and educational settings.

Two novel ibuprofen cystamine salts (IBU-CYS 1 and IBU-CYS 2) are synthesized by coupling the anion of ibuprofen with cystamine dihydrochloride in 1 : 1 and 2 : 1 ratio to improve the solubility and bioavailability of ibuprofen. The salts are characterized by H NMR, FT-IR and UV-Vis spectroscopy, differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), thermogravimetry (TGA, DTA) and X-ray diffraction measurements. IBU-CYS 1 and IBU-CYS 2 show higher solubility (6.
