Protein phosphorylation, one of the most classic post-translational modification, plays a critical role in diverse cellular processes including cell cycle, growth, and signal transduction pathways. However, the available information about phosphorylation in fungi is limited. Here, we provided a Fungi Phosphorylation Database (FPD) that comprises high-confidence in vivo phosphosites identified by MS-based proteomics in various fungal species. This comprehensive phosphorylation database contains 62 272 non-redundant phosphorylation sites in 11 222 proteins across eight organisms, including Aspergillus flavus, Aspergillus nidulans, Fusarium graminearum, Magnaporthe oryzae, Neurospora crassa, Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Schizosaccharomyces pombe, and Cryptococcus neoformans. A fungi-specific phosphothreonine motif and several conserved phosphorylation motifs were discovered by comparatively analysing the pattern of phosphorylation sites in plants, animals, and fungi.

To investigate the pathogenic variants and function of a pedigree with syndromic hearing loss using high-throughput sequencing. Detailed medical history and pedigree history were inquired, and a pedigree chart was drawn. Hearing examinations were performed on this pedigree, and whole-exome sequencing and bioinformatics analysis were performed to screen for suspected pathogenic variants.

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) have been regarded as important environmental carcinogens that can cause lung cancer. However, the underlying epigenetic mechanism during PAHs-induced lung carcinogenesis has remained largely unknown. Previously, we screened some novel epigenetic regulatory genes during 3-methylcholanthrene (3-MCA)-induced lung carcinogenesis, including the potassium inwardly rectifying channel subfamily J member 15 (KCNJ15) gene.

Introduction: Colonic fibrosis is a long-term complication of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), often leading to functional impairment, intestinal obstruction, and surgery. Adiponectin (APN) is an adipokine derived from adipocytes that plays a pleiotropic role in fibrosis regulation, depending on tissue and cell type specific or disease context, but its role in colonic fibrosis remains unclear.
Objective: To explore the role and involved mechanism of APN in chronic colitis-associated colonic fibrosis.

Purpose: This study aimed to investigate that AKT1-Mediated NOTCH1 phosphorylation promotes gastric cancer (GC) progression via targeted regulation of IRS-1 transcription.
Methods: The study utilized databases such as PhosphositePlus, TRANSFAC, CHEA, GPS 5.0, and TCGA, along with experimental techniques including Western Blot, co-IP, in vitro kinase assay, construction of lentiviral overexpression and silencing vectors, immunoprecipitation, modified proteomics, immunofluorescence, ChIP-PCR, EdU assay, Transwell assay, and scratch assay to investigate the effects of AKT1-induced Notch1 phosphorylation on cell proliferation, invasion and migration in vitro, as well as growth and epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) in vivo.

Introduction: Parkinson's disease (PD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disease, and biomarkers are needed to enhance earlier detection and monitoring. Alpha-synuclein, phosphorylated at serine 129 (pS129-α-syn), is the predominant form of α-syn found in Lewy bodies implicating an involvement in disease pathology. This review aims to systematically evaluate the evidence for pS129-α-syn detection in human biofluid samples of PD utilizing ELISA-based protein detection methods.
