Site-specific biotinylation of proteins is often the method of choice to enable efficient immobilization of a protein on a surface without interfering with protein folding. The tight interaction of biotin and streptavidin is frequently used to immobilize an antigen during phage display selections of binders. Here we describe a method of in vivo biotinylation of proteins during expression in E. coli, by tagging the protein with the short biotin acceptor peptide sequence, Avi tag, and co-expression of the E. coli biotin ligase (BirA) resulting in precise biotinylation of a specific lysine residue in the tag.

Background & Aims: Abnormal regulation of lncRNA is strongly linked to metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD). However, the precise molecular mechanisms remain unclear. This study explores the roles of noncoding RNA activated by DNA damage (NORAD)/miR-511-3p/Rho-associated protein kinase 2 (Rock2) axis and the NORAD/ROCK2 interaction in the development of MASLD.

Background: Production of platelet concentrates (PCs) involves several steps that significantly affect platelet behavior. To gain a deeper understanding of how storage conditions impact donor platelet recirculation and functionality post-transfusion, ex vivo platelet labeling is a feasible approach. However, before pursuing clinical investigations of platelet recirculation and function in humans, we aimed to determine the effects of pathogen inactivation technology (PIT) and storage conditions (4°C vs.

Biotin ligase-based proximity ligation is a widely used, highly effective technique for the study of in vivo protein-protein interactions. However, there are few reports and little consensus on the most effective methods for studying the proximal interactomes of secreted factors. Here, we present a protocol for studying extracellular proximal interactomes using an adaptation of TurboID/BioID2-based proximity ligation.

[M(arene)(HQ)Cl] complexes (M = Ru/Os/Rh/Ir; HQ = 8-hydroxyquinoline) have shown promise as anticancer agents. To assess the effect of conjugating biotin (vitamin B7) to such compounds and improve their tumor-targeting ability through interaction with the sodium-dependent multivitamin transporter (SMVT), the chlorido co-ligand was exchanged with biotinylated 6-aminoindazole. The complexes were characterized by NMR spectroscopy and mass spectrometry, and purity was determined by elemental analysis.

Background: The main complication in hemophilia A treatment is the development of inhibitory antibodies against factor (F)VIII. Immune tolerance induction, the gold standard for eradicating anti-FVIII antibodies, is efficient in only 60% to 80% of cases. This underscores the need for more efficient induction of tolerance in patients with hemophilia A with FVIII inhibitors.
