Soybean seeds contain two 2S albumin storage proteins (AL1 and AL3) which may contribute to their industrial processing quality and allergenicity. We show that these proteins (AL1 and AL3) are well expressed by the methylotrophic yeast Pichia pastoris and that one of the secreted proteins (AL3) has a similar conformation and stability to that purified from soybean seeds. Further, we show that the subunits are post-translationally processed within the same loop region as the native protein but with some differences in the precise sites. This internal processing provides useful information on the endoproteolytic activity in P. pastoris. We also show that, similar to many plant allergens, the 2S albumins from soybean are stable to heat and chemical treatments.

Background And Aim: In animal husbandry, antibiotics are frequently used as growth promoters, as well as for illness prevention and treatment. They are considered important toxic and allergenic contaminants of food and a serious risk factor for the spread of antibiotic resistance. National and international regulatory authorities have established limits on the permissible residue of antibiotics in food.

Article Synopsis
- The study explored the impact of Isalo scorpion cytotoxic peptide (IsCT) on growth, immunity, and gut bacteria in yellow-feathered broilers, using a controlled diet experiment over 60 days.
- Results indicated that higher doses of IsCT (150 and 200 mg/kg) led to significantly greater body weight and daily weight gain compared to the control group, alongside improved feed conversion ratios.
- Immune function was positively affected, with increased IgA and IgG levels in groups receiving IsCT, and gut microbiota analysis revealed notable changes in microbial populations compared to the control group.
Soy Protein and Safflower-Seed Oil Attenuate Inflammation and Immune Dysfunction in Rats with Hyperuricemia.

A plant-based diet is considered a promising approach for managing hyperuricemia (HUA). This study examined the effects of soy protein and plant-based oils on HUA-induced inflammation and immune dysfunction. Male Wistar rats, induced with HUA using oxonic acid and uric acid (UA), were fed casein or soy protein with palm or safflower oil (2 × 2 factorial design) for 8 weeks.

When developing immunochemical test systems, it is necessary to obtain specific antibodies. Their quality depends, among other things, on the immunogen used. When preparing hapten-protein conjugates to obtain antibodies for low-molecular-weight compounds, the key factors are the structure of the hapten itself, the presence of a spacer, the size of the carrier protein and the degree of its modification by hapten molecules.

Article Synopsis
- Chickpea is the second most cultivated legume after soybean, and a study analyzed eight cultivars for macronutrients and protein profiles using two different extraction solvents.
- Significant variations were found in total protein, starch, and soluble sugar content among the cultivars, leading to the identification of 2434 proteins from urea and 1809 from water extractions.
- The study revealed distinct differences in protein types and storage proteins across cultivars, identified numerous allergens, and developed a chickpea pan-proteome resource to better understand the genetic diversity and pathways involved.
