Article Synopsis
  • Expansion of CAG repeats in certain genes is linked to neurodegenerative diseases, but the mechanisms are not well understood; this study investigates how these repeats interact with RNA editing enzymes like ADAR.
  • Researchers used induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) and brain organoids from Huntington's disease and ataxia type 17 patients to analyze RNA editing via next-generation sequencing.
  • Results showed that while some brain organoids with specific CAG repeats had decreased RNA editing, most cultures did not support the hypothesis that CAG repeats affect editing levels significantly.

The proteogenomic search pipeline developed in this work has been applied for reanalysis of 40 publicly available shotgun proteomic datasets from various human tissues comprising more than 8000 individual LC-MS/MS runs, of which 5442 .raw data files were processed in total. This reanalysis was focused on searching for ADAR-mediated RNA editing events, their clustering across samples of different origins, and classification.

In this work, we proposed a biosensor for trypsin proteolytic activity assay using immobilization of model peptides on screen-printed electrodes (SPE) modified with gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) prepared by electrosynthetic method. Sensing of proteolytic activity was based on electrochemical oxidation of tyrosine residues of peptides. We designed peptides containing N-terminal cysteine residue for immobilization on an SPE, modified with gold nanoparticles, trypsin-specific cleavage site and tyrosine residue as a redox label.

Article Synopsis
  • - Alternative splicing plays a crucial role in protein regulation, but identifying specific splicing isoforms typically requires extensive transcriptomic analysis, which can be a barrier when re-evaluating existing data.
  • - Researchers created new algorithms to identify and validate protein splice isoforms from proteomic data without needing RNA sequencing, using previously analyzed human melanoma cell line data from high-resolution chromatography and mass spectrometry.
  • - The study involved comparing alternative splicing events against comprehensive databases of known transcripts and peptide sequences, filtering results based on mass spectrometry predictions, and validating select splicing events through quantitative PCR.

A meta-analysis of the results of targeted quantitative screening of human blood plasma was performed to generate a reference standard kit that can be used for health analytics. The panel included 53 of the 296 proteins that form a “stable” part of the proteome of a healthy individual; these proteins were found in at least 70% of samples and were characterized by an interindividual coefficient of variation <40%. The concentration range of the selected proteins was 10−10−10−3 M and enrichment analysis revealed their association with rare familial diseases.
