Phosphorylation-driven epichaperome assembly is a regulator of cellular adaptability and proliferation.

The intricate network of protein-chaperone interactions is crucial for maintaining cellular function. Recent discoveries have unveiled the existence of specialized chaperone assemblies, known as epichaperomes, which serve as scaffolding platforms that orchestrate the reconfiguration of protein-protein interaction networks, thereby enhancing cellular adaptability and proliferation. This study explores the structural and regulatory aspects of epichaperomes, with a particular focus on the role of post-translational modifications (PTMs) in their formation and function.

"Comparative Analysis of Glycoproteomic Software Using a Tailored Glycan Database".

Glycoproteomics is a rapidly developing field, and data analysis has been stimulated by several technological innovations. As a result, there are many software tools from which to choose; and each comes with unique features that can be difficult to compare. This work presents a head-to-head comparison of five modern analytical software: Byonic, Protein Prospector, MSFraggerGlyco, pGlyco3, and GlycoDecipher.

Phosphorylation-Driven Epichaperome Assembly: A Critical Regulator of Cellular Adaptability and Proliferation.

The intricate protein-chaperone network is vital for cellular function. Recent discoveries have unveiled the existence of specialized chaperone complexes called epichaperomes, protein assemblies orchestrating the reconfiguration of protein-protein interaction networks, enhancing cellular adaptability and proliferation. This study delves into the structural and regulatory aspects of epichaperomes, with a particular emphasis on the significance of post-translational modifications in shaping their formation and function.

Assessing Heterogeneity in the N-Telopeptides of Type I Collagen by Mass Spectrometry.

Collagen cross-links created by the lysyl oxidase and lysyl hydroxylase families of enzymes are a significant contributing factor to the biomechanical strength and rigidity of tissues, which in turn influence cell signaling and ultimately cell phenotype. In the clinic, the proteolytically liberated N-terminal cross-linked peptide of collagen I (NTX) is used as a biomarker of bone and connective tissue turnover, which is altered in several disease processes. Despite the clinical utility of these collagen breakdown products, the majority of the cross-linked peptide species have not been identified in proteomic datasets.

Citizenship status and career self-efficacy: An intersectional study of biomedical trainees in the United States.

This study examines the intersectional role of citizenship and gender with career self-efficacy amongst 10,803 doctoral and postdoctoral trainees in US universities. These biomedical trainees completed surveys administered by 17 US institutions that participated in the National Institutes of Health Broadening Experiences in Scientific Training (NIH BEST) Programs. Findings indicate that career self-efficacy of non-citizen trainees is significantly lower than that of US citizen trainees.
