Background: Global analyses of proteins and their modifications by mass spectrometry are essential tools in cell biology and biomedical research. Analyses of glycoproteins represent particular challenges and we are only at the beginnings of the glycoproteomic era. Some of the challenges have been overcome with N-glycoproteins and proteome-wide analysis of N-glycosylation sites is accomplishable today but only by sacrificing information of structures at individual glycosites. More recently advances in analysis of O-glycoproteins have been made and proteome-wide analysis of O-glycosylation sites is becoming available as well.
Scope Of Review: Here we discuss the challenges of analysis of O-glycans and new O-glycoproteomics strategies focusing on O-GalNAc and O-Man glycoproteomes.
Major Conclusions: A variety of strategies are now available for proteome-wide analysis of O-glycosylation sites enabling functional studies. However, further developments are still needed for complete analysis of glycan structures at individual sites for both N- and O-glycoproteomics strategies.
General Significance: The advances in O-glycoproteomics have led to identification of new biological functions of O-glycosylation and a new understanding of the importance of where O-glycans are positioned on proteins.

Drug development faces significant financial and time challenges, highlighting the need for more efficient strategies. This study evaluated the druggability of the entire human proteome using Fpocket. We identified 15,043 druggable pockets in 20,255 predicted protein structures, significantly expanding the estimated druggable proteome from 3000 to over 11,000 proteins.

Obesity strongly increases the risk of cardiometabolic diseases, yet the underlying mediators of this relationship are not fully understood. Given that obesity strongly influences circulating protein levels, we investigated proteins mediating the effects of obesity on coronary artery disease, stroke and type 2 diabetes. By integrating two-step proteome-wide Mendelian randomization, colocalization, epigenomics and single-cell RNA sequencing, we identified five mediators and prioritized collagen type VI α3 (COL6A3).

An evolutionarily conserved heterodimeric FACT (Facilitates chromatin transcription) regulates transcription, DNA repair, replication and other cellular processes via its interactions with other proteins. FACT is recently found to be regulated via ubiquitylation and 26S proteasomal degradation, alteration of which is associated with aberrant transcription and genome integrity. However, there has not been a systematic study to analyze FACT interactions proteome-wide in the presence and absence of its UPS (Ubiquitin-proteasome system) regulation, which could reveal new FACT interactors with mechanistic and functional implications.

In this study, we aimed to identify potential drug targets and circulating protein biomarkers for ILD and its subtypes. We utilized the most recent large-scale plasma protein quantitative trait loci (pQTL) data detected from the antibody-based method and ILD and its subtypes' GWAS data from the updated FinnGen database for Mendelian randomization analysis.

In recent years, it was found that lysine malonylation modification can affect biological metabolism and play an important role in plant life activities. Platycodon grandiflorus, an economic crop and medicinal plant, had no reports on malonylation in the related literature. This study qualitatively introduces lysine malonylation in P.
