The eukaryotic microrchidia (MORC) protein family are DNA gyrase, Hsp90, histidine kinase, MutL (GHKL)-type ATPases involved in gene expression regulation and chromatin compaction. The molecular mechanisms underlying these activities are incompletely understood. Here, we studied the full-length human MORC2 protein biochemically.

A number of studies have been demonstrated that arachidonate 5-lipoxygenase (ALOX-5) plays a role in regulating a range of physiological and pathological processes through the catalysis of leukotriene formation from arachidonic acid (ARA). The coding sequence of ALOX-5 from Apostichopus japonicus (Aj-ALOX-5) was successfully amplified, resulting in a 2028 bp ORF sequence that encodes 674 amino acids. A comparison of the amino acid sequence with those of other 5-lipoxygenases revealed that Aj-ALOX-5 has the N-terminal "PLAT domain" and C-terminal "lipoxygenase structural domain" characteristic of this enzyme family.

Here, we present a previously undescribed approach to modify N-terminal sequences of recombinant proteins to increase their production yield in Escherichia coli. Prior research has demonstrated that the nucleotides immediately following the start codon can significantly influence protein expression. However, the impact of these sequences is construct-specific and is not universally applicable to all proteins.

Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are small membrane-bound structures that play important roles in intercellular communication and the transfer of biomolecules between cells. EVs have become a topic of interest for research in translational proteomics for disease biomarker discovery due to their ability to reflect changes in the cellular proteome, including diseases affecting the brain. Utilizing the proteome analysis of EVs to its fullest potential requires proper isolation and purity.

Neuronal intranuclear inclusion disease (NIID) is a rare progressive neurodegenerative disease with a characteristic pathological feature of eosinophilic hyaluronan inclusions in the nervous system and internal organs. The identification of GGC-repeat expansions in the Notch 2 N-terminal like C (NOTCH2NLC) gene facilitates the accurate diagnosis of NIID. Due to its rareness and high clinical heterogeneity, the diagnosis of NIID is often delayed or missed.
