Recombinant and native proteins of Pichia pastoris can be O-mannosylated on serine and threonine residues, allowing further elongation reactions to generate short O-linked oligosaccha-rides of mannose. Methods for release from the protein with alkaline beta-elimination with or without reduction of the released saccharides, and for subsequent chromatographic and enzymatic characterization of these saccharides are described.

Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a lethal disease with substantial unmet medical needs. While aberrant epithelial remodeling is a key factor in IPF progression, the molecular mechanisms behind this process remain elusive. Harnessing a 3D patient-derived organoid model and multi-omics approach, the first inventory of the connection between metabolic alteration, chromatin accessibility, and transcriptional regulation in IPF aberrant epithelial remodeling is provided.

Background: Consensus is that immunoglobulin IgG4 contains only N-linked glycosylation. The analysis of several batches of commercial biopharmaceutical product Dupixent using top-down intact mass spectrometry revealed that this IgG4 features a small amount of O-linked glycosylation in the Fab region. This is the first report of an O-linked glycosylation in an IgG4 antibody.

Background: The giant anteater (Myrmecophaga tridactyla) is a toothless mammal that feeds mainly on termites and ants. Therefore, like other toothless mammals, this species has morphological and physiological adaptations of the salivary glands related to eating habits. Saliva is essential for the health of the oral cavity, chewing and lubrication of the mouth and it is constituted by an aqueous fluid containing electrolytes, enzymes, and glycoproteins which play an important role in modulating the oral microbiota.

Sialic acid is a diverse group of monosaccharides often found on the termini of - and -linked glycans as well as being components of glycoconjugates. Hypersialylation has been associated with the progression of chronic inflammation-mediated diseases such as cardiovascular disease and cancer. Given its role in infection and disease-related processes, sialic acid is a promising target for therapeutic approaches that utilize carbohydrate-binding molecules.

Diabetic cardiomyopathy (DCM) represents a critical complication of Diabetes mellitus (DM), characterized by structural and functional changes in the myocardium independent of coronary artery disease or hypertension. Emerging evidence highlights the significant roles of phytochemicals, particularly astilbin and apigenin, in modulating key molecular pathways implicated in DCM. This review synthesizes current mechanistic insights and therapeutic potential of these compounds, focusing on their interactions with AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK), peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors (PPARs), O-linked N-acetylglucosamine (O-GlcNAc), sodium-glucose co-transporter 2 (SGLT2), protein kinase C (PKC), nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB), mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK), and c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK) pathways.
