The synthesis and chemistry of the lesser-known phosphoamino acids, O-phosphohydroxylysine, O-phosphohydroxyproline, N -phosphotryptophan and S-phosphocysteine are described in detail. In addition, where anything at all is known, the biological synthesis, occurrence and functions of these phosphoamino acids are described. Of these phosphoamino acids, only N -phosphotryptophan has not been reported to occur in proteins; however, apart from the roles of S-phosphocysteine in the sugar transporter component (EII) and in catalysis by protein phosphotyrosine phosphatase, little is currently known about the biological roles of the phosphoamino acids when they occur as post-translational modifications.

Background Emerging evidence suggests mitochondrial dysfunction may play a role in the fatigue experienced by individuals with post-COVID-19 condition (PCC), commonly called long COVID, which can be assessed using MR spectroscopy. Purpose To compare mitochondrial function between participants with fatigue-predominant PCC and healthy control participants using MR spectroscopy, and to investigate the relationship between MR spectroscopic parameters and fatigue using the 11-item Chalder fatigue questionnaire. Materials and Methods This prospective, observational, single-center study (June 2021 to January 2024) included participants with PCC who reported moderate to severe fatigue, with normal blood test and echocardiographic results, alongside control participants without fatigue symptoms.

T cell exhaustion, characterized by the upregulation of inhibitory receptors and loss of effector functions, plays a crucial role in tumor immune evasion. This study utilizes a high-throughput, reproducible, and robust integrated ion-exchange chromatography-tandem mass tag (IEC-TMT) platform, coupled with a complex-centric quantification algorithm, to thoroughly profile phosphotyrosine (pTyr) protein complex changes during T cell exhaustion. The platform's high reproducibility is evidenced by >0.

Bioenergetic pathways uniquely support sarcomere function which, in turn, helps to maintain functional skeletal muscle (SKM) mass. Emerging evidence supports alcohol (EtOH)-induced bioenergetic impairments in SKM and muscle precursor cells. We performed a scoping review to synthesize existing evidence regarding the effects of EtOH on SKM bioenergetics.

Doxorubicin (DOX), a potent chemotherapy drug, is limited by its cardiotoxic effects, which can lead to heart damage. This study explores the cardioprotective potential of Phosphocreatine (PCr) in vitro and in vivo models, focusing on its impact on the AMPK and PGC-1α pathways, apoptosis reduction, and mitochondrial function preservation. Advanced methodologies, including high-resolution respirometry (HRR), were employed to assess mitochondrial bioenergetics, AMPK activity, and apoptotic rates in cardiomyocytes.

Protein post-translational modifications, such as phosphorylation, are important regulatory signals for diverse cellular functions. In particular, intrinsically disordered protein regions (IDRs) are subject to phosphorylation as a means to modulate their interactions and functions. Toward understanding the relationship between phosphorylation in IDRs and specific functional outcomes, we must consider how phosphorylation affects the IDR conformational ensemble.
