Objective: PCBP1 is a family member of heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoproteins (hnRNPs) that belong to RNA-binding proteins and bear three KH domains. The protein plays a pivotal role in post-transcriptional regulation for RNA metabolism and RNA function in gene expression. We hypothesized and were going to identify that the regulatory function of PCBP1 is performed through different complexes of proteins that include PCBP1.

Methods: To test our hypothesis, approaches of protein walking with a yeast two-hybrid system (Y2H), pulling down in yeasts, co-immunoprecipitation and immunofluorescent microscopy assay were employed in this study. The PCBP1 was used as the initial "walker" to search for its interaction partner(s).

Results: Candidate proteins including MYL6, PECAM1, CSH1, RAB7, p57KIP2, ACTG1, RBMS1 and PSG4-like were identified with selection mediums and preceding methods.

Conclusion: With these candidate protein molecules, some protein complexes associating with PCBP1 are proposed, which may help in a better understanding of physiological functions of PCBP1 and proved evidence that PCBP1 is involved in variant biological pathways.

Spermatogonial stem cells (SSCs) form haploid gametes through the precisely regulated process of spermatogenesis. Within the testis, SSCs undergo self-renewal through mitosis, differentiation, and then enter meiosis to generate mature spermatids. This study utilized single-cell RNA sequencing on 26,888 testicular cells obtained from five Holstein bull testes, revealing the presence of five distinct germ cell types and eight somatic cell types in cattle testes.

RNA-protein interactions orchestrate hundreds of pathways in homeostatic and stressed cells. We applied an RNA-protein interactome capture method called protein cross-linked RNA extraction (XRNAX) to shed light on the RNA-bound proteome in dysmyelination. We found sets of canonical RNA-binding proteins (RBPs) regulating alternative splicing and engaged in the cytoplasmic granules to be perturbed at the level of their RNA interactome.

PCBP1 is a multifunctional adaptor protein, whose function as an iron chaperone and epigenetic regulator of several chemical messengers involved in ferroptosis has garnered much attention. Herein, this review, several attempts have been made to simplify our understanding of the complex roles of PCBP1. The review begins by elucidating the relevance of PCBP1 in key events governing ferroptosis.

High-altitude exposure can adversely affect neurocognitive functions; however, the underlying mechanisms remain elusive. Why and how does high-altitude exposure impair neurocognitive functions, particularly sleep? This study seeks to identify the molecular markers and mechanisms involved, with the goal of forming prevention and mitigation strategies for altitude sickness. Using serum proteomics and metabolomics, we analyzed blood samples from 23 Han Chinese plain dwellers before and after six months of high-altitude work in Tibet.

Brucella T4SS secretes numerous effector proteins to disrupt host immune responses and apoptosis, enabling long-term survival. One such effector protein is BspE, whose role remains largely unknown. In this study, we demonstrated that BspE promotes the growth of Brucella, enhances its survival in macrophages, and affects the release of macrophage inflammatory factors.
