A convenient two-step method is reported for the ligation of alkoxyamine- or hydrazine-bearing cargo to proline N-termini. Using this approach, bifunctional proline N-terminal bioconjugates are constructed and proline N-terminal proteins are immobilized.

Combining Protein Phase Separation and Bio-orthogonal Linking to Coimmobilize Enzymes for Cascade Biocatalysis.

The designed and ordered co-immobilization of multiple enzymes for vectorial biocatalysis is challenging. Here, a combination of protein phase separation and bioorthogonal linking is used to generate a zeolitic imidazole framework (ZIF-8) containing co-immobilized enzymes. Zn ions induce the clustering of minimal protein modules, such as 6-His tag, proline-rich motif (PRM) and SRC homology 3 (SH3) domains, and allow for phase separation of the coupled aldoketoreductase (AKR) and alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH) at low concentrations.

The cytosolic dipeptidyl-aminopeptidase 9 (DPP9) cleaves protein N-termini post-proline or -alanine. Our analysis of DPP9 mRNA expression from the TCGA 'breast cancer' data set revealed that low/intermediate DPP9 levels are associated with poor overall survival of breast cancer patients. To unravel the impact of DPP9 on breast cancer development and progression, the transgenic MMTV-PyMT mouse model of metastasizing breast cancer was used.

Highly homologous ubiquitin-binding shuttle proteins UBQLN1, UBQLN2, and UBQLN4 differ in both their specific protein quality control functions and their propensities to localize to stress-induced condensates, cellular aggregates, and aggresomes. We previously showed that UBQLN2 phase separates in vitro, and that the phase separation propensities of UBQLN2 deletion constructs correlate with their ability to form condensates in cells. Here, we demonstrated that full-length UBQLN1, UBQLN2, and UBQLN4 exhibit distinct phase behaviors in vitro.

The cytosolic dipeptidyl-aminopeptidases 8 (DPP8) and 9 (DPP9) belong to the DPPIV serine proteases with the unique characteristic of cleaving off a dipeptide post-proline from the -termini of substrates. To study the role of DPP8 and DPP9 in breast cancer, MCF-7 cells (luminal A-type breast cancer) and MDA.MB-231 cells (basal-like breast cancer) were used.
