Extracellular triacylglycerol hydrolases (ETH) play a critical role for microorganisms, acting as essential tools for lipid breakdown and survival in challenging environments. The pursuit of more effective ETH genes and enzymes through evolution holds significant potential for enhancing living conditions. This study employs a proteogenomic approach to identify high G+C ETH in a notable Gram-positive bacterium, .

Background: The transcription factor Nrf2 (nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2, NFE2L2) is a pivotal regulator of redox balance, metabolism, protein homeostasis and inflammation. Nrf2 is critically involved in both ferroptosis and renal diseases, and may serve as a significant target for many natural products in the treatment of renal diseases. However, a comprehensive overview on this topic is still lacking.

Glioma, the most prevalent primary intracranial malignancy among adults, is distinguished by its high morbidity and recurrence rates, posing a considerable threat to patients' quality of life and survival prospects. Consequently, the pursuit of efficacious molecular prognostic markers holds paramount importance. The exploration of the role of the KDELR3 kinase family in various neoplastic conditions constitutes an emerging area of research.

The FIKK protein family, encompassing 21 serine-threonine protein kinases, is a distinctive cluster exclusive to the Apicomplexa phylum. Predominantly located in which is a malarial parasite, with a solitary gene identified in a distinct apicomplexan species, this family derives its nomenclature from - phenylalanine, isoleucine, lysine, lysine (FIKK), a conserved amino acid motif. Integral to the parasite's life cycle and consequential to malaria pathogenesis, the absence of orthologous proteins in eukaryotic organisms designates it as a promising antimalarial drug target.

Background: An excess of exosomes, nanovesicles released from all cells and key regulators of brain plasticity, is an emerging therapeutic target for stress-related mental illnesses. The effects of chronic stress on exosome levels are unknown; even less is known about molecular drivers of exosome levels in the stress response.
Methods: We used our state-of-the-art protocol with 2 complementary strategies to isolate neuronal exosomes from plasma, ventral dentate gyrus, basolateral amygdala, and olfactory bulbs of male mice to determine the effects of chronic restraint stress (CRS) on exosome levels.
