We investigated the combination of weak anion exchange (WAX) fractionation and on-line reversed-phase liquid chromatography (RPLC) separation using a 12 T FTICR mass spectrometer for the detection of intact proteins from a Shewanella oneidensis MR-1 cell lysate. This work aimed at optimizing intact protein detection for profiling proteins at a level that incorporates their modification state. A total of 715 intact proteins were detected, and the combined results from the WAX fractions and the unfractionated cell lysate were aligned using LC-MS features to facilitate protein abundance measurements. Protein identifications and post-translational modifications were assigned for approximately 10% of the detected proteins by comparing intact protein mass measurements to proteins identified in peptide MS/MS analysis of an aliquot of the same fraction. Intact proteins were also detected for S. oneidensis lysates obtained from cells grown on 13C-, 15N-depleted media under aerobic and sub-oxic conditions. The strategy can be readily applied for measuring differential protein abundances and provides a platform for high-throughput selection of biologically relevant targets for further characterization.

The vast majority of breast cancer patients require radiotherapy but some of them will develop local recurrences and potentially metastases in the future. Recent data show that exosomal cargo is essential in these processes. Thus, we investigated the influence of ionising radiation on exosome properties and their ability to modify the sensitivity and biology of non-irradiated cells.

First believed to be a simple intermediary between the information encoded in deoxyribonucleic acid and that functionally displayed in proteins, ribonucleic acid (RNA) is now known to have many functions through its abundance and intricate, ubiquitous, diverse, and dynamic structure. About 70-90% of the human genome is transcribed into protein-coding and noncoding RNAs as main determinants along with regulatory sequences of cellular to populational biological diversity. From the nucleotide sequence or primary structure, through Watson-Crick pairing self-folding or secondary structure, to compaction via longer distance Watson-Crick and non-Watson-Crick interactions or tertiary structure, and interactions with RNA or other biopolymers or quaternary structure, or with metabolites and biomolecules or quinary structure, RNA structure plays a critical role in RNA's lifecycle from transcription to decay and many cellular processes.

This study investigated the differences of caspase and apoptosis levels in pork with different tenderness from the perspective of S-nitrosylation and further explored their role during pork tenderization. Ten longissimus thoracis muscles selected from 36 individual carcasses based on shear force were divided into high (HT) and low (LT) tenderness groups (n = 5), respectively. Results demonstrated that total nitric oxide synthase activity and protein S-nitrosylation levels of LT group were higher than HT group, while myocyte apoptosis levels were lower in LT group (p < 0.

Vertebrate oocyte polarity has been observed for two centuries and is essential for embryonic axis formation and germline specification, yet its underlying mechanisms remain unknown. In oocyte polarization, critical RNA-protein (RNP) granules delivered to the oocyte's vegetal pole are stored by the Balbiani body (Bb), a membraneless organelle conserved across species from insects to humans. However, the mechanisms of Bb formation are still unclear.
