Published: January 2020

Interferon-stimulated gene 15 (ISG15) encodes a protein that is most upregulated by type I interferon stimulation and, upon activation, is conjugated to various target proteins in a process known as ISGylation. ISGylation has been shown to have roles in various biological phenomena such as viral infection and cancer. To gain further insight into the function of ISGylation, it would be useful to be able to identify ISGylated proteins. Here, we describe a method for the identification of proteins modified with ISG15. This method involves the generation of stable ISG15-transfectant cells, followed by affinity purification, and then identification of the ISGylated proteins by mass spectrometry.

Alzheimer's disease (AD) consists of two main pathologies, which are the deposition of amyloid plaque as well as tau protein aggregation. Evidence suggests that not everyone who carries the AD-causing genes displays AD-related symptoms; they might never acquire AD as well. These individuals are referred to as non-demented individuals with AD neuropathology (NDAN).

Snake envenomation presents a significant global health challenge, especially in rural areas of tropical and subtropical regions. Traditional antivenom therapies face limitations related to efficacy, availability, and specificity, prompting a need for novel approaches. Recent advancements in omics technologies, particularly metabolomics and proteomics, have enhanced our understanding of snake venom composition, toxicity, and potential therapeutic strategies.

Parkinson's disease (PD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder characterized by tremor, rigidity, and bradykinesia, beginning with early loss of dopaminergic neurons in the ventrolateral substantia nigra and advancing to broader neurodegeneration in the midbrain. The clinical heterogeneity of PD and the lack of specific diagnostic tests present significant challenges, highlighting the need for reliable biomarkers for early diagnosis. Alpha-synuclein (α-Syn), a protein aggregating into Lewy bodies and neurites in PD patients, has emerged as a key biomarker due to its central role in PD pathophysiology and potential to reflect pathological processes.
