Protein tyrosine nitration (PTN) is a selective post-translational modification often associated with physiological and pathophysiological conditions. Tyrosine is modified in the 3-position of the phenolic ring through the addition of a nitro group. In our previous study we first time showed that PTN occurs in vivo in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. In the present study we observed occurrence of PTN in petite mutant of S. cerevisiae which indicated that PTN is not absolutely dependent on functional mitochondria. Nitration of proteins in S. cerevisiae was also first time confirmed in immunohistochemical study using spheroplasts. Using proteosomal mutants Rpn10Δ, Pre9Δ, we first time showed that the fate of protein nitration in S. cerevisiae was not dependent on proteosomal clearing and probably played vital role in modulating signaling cascades. From our study it is evident that protein tyrosine nitration is a normal physiological event of S. cerevisiae.

Epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) plays an important role in the regulation of cell proliferation and migration [1]. It forms a homodimer or heterodimer with other ErbB receptor family members to activate downstream signaling. Emerging evidence indicates that the EGFR activity and downstream signaling are regulated by other proteins except its family members during tumorigenesis.

Bruton's tyrosine kinase (BTK) is a major drug target in immune cells. The membrane-binding pleckstrin homology and tec homology (PH-TH) domains of BTK are required for signaling. Dimerization of the PH-TH module strongly stimulates the kinase activity of BTK in vitro.

Tubulin detyrosination has been implicated in various human disorders and is important for regulating microtubule dynamics. While in most organisms this modification is restricted to α-tubulin, in trypanosomatid parasites, it occurs on both α- and β-tubulin. Here, we show that in , a single vasohibin (LmVASH) enzyme is responsible for differential kinetics of α- and β-tubulin detyrosination.

Background: Fracture disrupts the integrity and continuity of the bone, leading to symptoms such as pain, tenderness, swelling, and bruising. Rhizoma Musae is a medicinal material frequently utilized in the Miao ethnic region of Guizhou Province, China. However, its specific mechanism of action in treating fractures remains unknown.

Despite their critical role in context-dependent interactions for protein functions, intrinsically disordered regions (IDRs) are often overlooked for designing peptide assemblies. Here, we exploit IDRs to enable context-dependent heterotypic assemblies of intrinsically disordered peptides, where "context-dependent" refers to assembly behavior driven by interactions with other molecules. By attaching an aromatic segment to oppositely charged intrinsically disordered peptides, we achieve a nanofiber formation.
