Fructosyl peptide oxidase (FPOX) catalyses the oxidation of α-glycated dipeptides such as N(α)-(1-deoxy-D-fructos-1-yl)-L-valyl-L-histidine (Fru-ValHis) and is used in the diagnosis of diabetes mellitus. Here, two thermostable mutants of FPOX, CFP-T7 and EFP-T5M, were crystallized by the sitting-drop vapour-diffusion method. The crystal of CFP-T7 belonged to the tetragonal space group P4(1)2(1)2, with unit-cell parameters a = b = 110.09, c = 220.48 Å, and that of EFP-T5M belonged to the monoclinic space group P2(1), with unit-cell parameters a = 43.00, b = 230.05, c = 47.27 Å, β = 116.99°. The crystals of CFP-T7 and EFP-T5M diffracted to 1.8 and 1.6 Å resolution, respectively.

Psoriasis, an immune-mediated chronic inflammatory skin disease, is primarily diagnosed through clinical assessment. Currently, specific markers for the accurate diagnosis and prediction of psoriatic disease are lacking. Here, we employed a three-step designed study to perform untargeted metabolomics, with the aim of identifying candidate biomarkers for psoriasis.

Glycated proteins are generated by binding of glucose to the proteins in blood stream through a nonenzymatic reaction. Hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) is a glycated protein with glucose at the N-terminal of β-chain. HbA1c is extensively used as an indicator for assessing the blood glucose concentration in diabetes patients.

Protein cysteine S-glycosylation is a relatively rare and less well characterized post-translational modification (PTM). Creating reliable model proteins that carry this modification is challenging. The lack of available models or natural S-glycosylated proteins significantly hampers the development of mass-spectrometry-based (MS-based) methodologies for detecting protein cysteine S-glycosylation in real-world proteomic studies.

Glycation is a non-enzymatic posttranslational modification coming from the reaction between reducing sugars and free amino groups in proteins, where early glycation products (fructosyl-lysine, FL) and advanced glycation end products (AGEs) are formed. The occurrence of glycation and accumulation of AGEs have been closely associated with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Here, we reported the characterization of differential glycation in HCC using tissue proteomics with stable isotopic labeling; early glycation-modified peptides were enriched with boronate affinity chromatography (BAC), and AGEs-modified peptides were fractionated with basic reversed-phase separation.

Article Synopsis
- Chinese patent medicines with Epimedii Folium and Psoraleae Fructus have been linked to idiosyncratic drug-induced liver injury (IDILI), but the specific toxic biomarkers and mechanisms are not well understood.
- The study focused on the effects of bavachin and epimedin B from these plants on liver injury models induced by TNF-α, using both in vitro (cell cultures) and in vivo (mice) methods to measure liver damage.
- Results indicated that combining bavachin and epimedin B exacerbated liver injury in TNF-α treated mice, shown by increased liver enzyme levels (ALT and AST) and inflammation, along with distinctive metabolites identified through metabolomics analysis.
