The recombinant and glycosylation chicken cystatins were expressed and secreted in the broth of Pichia pastoris X-33 transformant with apparent molecular masses (M) of 14 and 55 kDa, respectively. The glycosylation cystatin (glycocystatin) contained a polysaccharide chain that was composed of 50 DP of mannose residues. Because of the polymannosyl chain, the inhibitory ability in glycocystatin was 90.8% of recombinant cystatin. In addition to freeze-thawing stability, the thermal and pH stabilities as well as the susceptibility of glycocystatin were also enhanced. Both cystatins could improve the mackerel surimi gel by inhibiting the gel softening, which was derived from the hydrolysis of catheptic cysteine proteinases. Despite the additional amount of glycocystatin (8 units), twice that of recombinant cystatin, the 40 and 15% increases in breaking force and deformation of gels were also observed. Accordingly, the surimi gel was further improved by enhancing the stability of chicken cystatin.

Comparative transcriptomic analysis-based identification of the regulation of foreign proteins with different stabilities expressed in .

Article Synopsis
- The study focuses on the industrial yeast as a cell factory for producing proteins, particularly investigating the effects of overexpressing protein disulfide isomerase (PDI) alongside chicken cystatin (cC) and its mutants (I66Q and ΔW) to enhance protein production.
- Results showed that PDI coexpression increased extracellular levels of the proteins, suggesting it helps reduce misfolding and improve stability in less stable variants.
- Transcriptomic analysis revealed that while genes for protein processing were upregulated, there was a downregulation of genes associated with ribosome and metabolic pathways, highlighting potential targets for further research on protein synthesis efficiency.

Background: Ovocystatin is marked by structural and biological similarities to human cystatin C, which plays an important role in the course of neurodegenerative diseases. Recently, it has been shown that ovocystatin might prevent aging-related cognitive impairment in rats and reduce memory decline in an APP/PS1 mice model. Thus, this study aimed to assess the effect of ovocystatin on histopathological changes in APP/PS1 mice.

Article Synopsis
- Schistosomula of the neurotropic schistosome possess multiple isoforms of the enzyme cathepsin B1, which are important for digesting nutrients, with differing effectiveness in handling protein substrates.
- The less effective isoform TrCB1.4 has a narrow substrate specificity compared to the more versatile TrCB1.1, and both can be activated through interactions with certain sulfated polysaccharides and heterologous enzymes.
- While active isoforms can influence cell viability and immune response, the inactive isoform TrCB1.6 may serve a regulatory role by forming complexes with active enzymes, thereby protecting them from inhibition by host factors.

Human cystatin C (HCC) amyloid angiopathy (HCCAA) is characterized by tissue deposition of amyloid fibrils in blood vessels, which can lead to recurrent hemorrhagic stroke. Wild-type HCC forms part of the amyloid deposits in brain arteries of elderly people with amyloid angiopathy. A point mutation causing a glutamine to a leucine substitution at residue 68 in the HCC polypeptide chain greatly increases the amyloidogenic propensity of HCC and causes a more severe cerebral hemorrhage and premature death in young adults.

The cystatin superfamily is comprised of cysteine proteinase inhibitors and encompasses at least 3 subfamilies: stefins, cystatins and kininogens. In this study, the platyhelminth cystatin superfamily was identified and grouped into stefin and cystatin subfamilies. The conserved domain of stefins (G, QxVxG) was observed in all members of platyhelminth stefins.
