To date, less attention has been paid to λ-carrageenases and their enzymatic hydrolysates than to κ- and ι-carrageenases and their hydrolysates. In this study, a Gram-negative strain Polaribacter sp. NJDZ03 was isolated from the surface of an Antarctic macroalga, Desmarestia sp.

Pentraxin-3 (PTX3) is a multifunctional pattern-recognition molecule that is essential for immune defense, pathogen recognition, and complement activation. PTX3 is stored as a monomer in neutrophil granules, and assembles into higher-order oligomers upon immune activation, thereby enhancing its antimicrobial function. The mechanism underlying this assembly remains elusive.

Alpha-1-antitrypsin (AAT), a circulating serine protease inhibitor, is an acute inflammatory response protein with anti-inflammatory functions. The C-terminal peptides of AAT are found in various tissues and have been proposed as putative bioactive peptides with multiple functions, but its mechanism of action remains unclear. We previously reported that a mouse AAT C-terminal peptide of 35 amino acids (mAAT-C) penetrates plasma membrane and associates guanine nucleotide-binding protein subunit alpha 13 (Gα13).

N-acetyltransferase 10 (NAT10) is a member of the Gcn5-related N-acetyltransferase (GNAT) family and it plays a crucial role in various cellular processes, such as regulation of cell mitosis, post-DNA damage response, autophagy and apoptosis regulation, ribosome biogenesis, RNA modification, and other related pathways through its intrinsic protein acetyltransferase and RNA acetyltransferase activities. Moreover, NAT10 is closely associated with the pathogenesis of tumors, Hutchinson-Gilford progeria syndrome (HGPS), systemic lupus erythematosus, pulmonary fibrosis, depression and host-pathogen interactions. In recent years, mRNA acetylation has emerged as a prominent focus of research due to its pivotal role in regulating RNA stability and translation.
