During terminal differentiation, the global protein complement is remodeled, as epitomized by erythrocytes, whose cytosol is ~98% globin. The erythroid proteome undergoes a rapid transition at the reticulocyte stage; however, the mechanisms driving programmed elimination of preexisting cytosolic proteins are unclear. We found that a mutation in the murine gene, which encodes a ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme induced during erythropoiesis, results in anemia. Proteomic analysis suggested that UBE2O is a broad-spectrum ubiquitinating enzyme that remodels the erythroid proteome. In particular, ribosome elimination, a hallmark of reticulocyte differentiation, was defective in mutants. UBE2O recognized ribosomal proteins and other substrates directly, targeting them to proteasomes for degradation. Thus, in reticulocytes, the induction of ubiquitinating factors may drive the transition from a complex to a simple proteome.

Cadmium has been identified as an environmental pollutant and a carcinogen. N-methyladenosine (mA) plays a crucial role in the development of lung tumors, but the mechanisms remain incompletely clarified. In present study, our data demonstrated that prolonged treatment of 1 μmol/L CdSO for 40 passages in bronchial epithelial cells (Beas-2B cells) resulted in the development of a malignant phenotype, which manifested as boosted proliferation, migration and invasion capacity as well as apoptosis reduction.

Mammalian red blood cells are generated via a terminal erythroid differentiation pathway culminating in cell polarization and enucleation. Actin filament polymerization is critical for enucleation, but the molecular regulatory mechanisms remain poorly understood. We utilized publicly available RNA-seq and proteomics datasets to mine for actin-binding proteins and actin-nucleation factors differentially expressed during human erythroid differentiation and discovered that a focal adhesion protein-Tensin-1-dramatically increases in expression late in differentiation.

Objective: This study aimed to investigate the tumorigenic role and regulatory pathways of peptidyl arginine deiminase 2 (PAD-2) in A549 lung cancer cells following treatment with small interfering RNA (PADI-2 siRNA) or the pharmacological pan-PAD inhibitor BB-Cl amidine.
Materials And Methods: A549 lung cancer cells were treated with PADI-2 siRNA to knock down PADI-2 expression or with BB-Cl amidine to inhibit PAD2 activity. The effects on cell proliferation, migration, invasion, and cell cycle phases were assessed.

Understanding the molecular targets of natural products is crucial for elucidating their mechanisms of action, mitigating toxicity, and uncovering potential therapeutic pathways. Icaritin (ICT), a bioactive flavonoid, demonstrates significant anti-tumor activity but lacks defined molecular targets. This study employs an advanced strategy integrating proteolysis targeting chimera (PROTAC) technology with quantitative proteomics to identify ICT's key targets.
