Cyclin-dependent kinases (CDKs) are key genes regulating early development of Neptunea arthritica cumingii: evidence from comparative transcriptome and proteome analyses.

In this study, we applied comparative transcriptomics and proteomics techniques to systematically investigate the dynamic expression patterns of genes and proteins at various stages of early embryonic development of the gastropod Neptunea arthritica cumingii. Twelve cyclin-dependent kinase (CDKs) genes and five downstream proteins associated with these CDKs were identified. Through techniques such as qRT-PCR, our data elucidate for the first time the regulatory functions of CDK family genes and establish CDKs as a pivotal gene cluster in the early embryonic development of N.

Increasing the pasteurization temperature of liquid egg white by phosphorylation modification: Exploring the mechanism and application.

Pasteurization is an effective sterilization technique for the treatment of liquid egg white (LEW), but the pasteurization temperature is generally limited because increased temperature can lead to aggregation of the proteins and affect their processing properties. In this study, phosphorylation modification was used to increase the thermal stability and pasteurization temperature of LEW, aiming to enhance the pasteurization sterilizing effect. The FT-IR results showed that the phosphate groups were successfully grafted into protein molecules, improving the order degree of protein molecules.
