Published: April 2020

The 14-3-3 proteins are a family of ubiquitous and exclusively eukaryotic proteins with an astoundingly significant number of binding partners. Their binding alters the activity, stability, localization, and phosphorylation state of a target protein. The association of 14-3-3 proteins with the regulation of a wide range of general and specific signaling pathways suggests their crucial role in health and disease. Recent studies have linked 14-3-3 to several RNA and DNA viruses that may contribute to the pathogenesis and progression of infections. Therefore, comprehensive knowledge of host-virus interactions is vital for understanding the viral life cycle and developing effective therapeutic strategies. Moreover, pharmaceutical research is already moving towards targeting host proteins in the control of virus pathogenesis. As such, targeting the right host protein to interrupt host-virus interactions could be an effective therapeutic strategy. In this review, we generated a 14-3-3 protein interactions roadmap in viruses, using the freely available network, an online virus-virus or virus-host interaction tool. Furthermore, we summarize the role of the 14-3-3 family in RNA and DNA viruses. The participation of 14-3-3 in viral infections underlines its significance as a key regulator for the expression of host and viral proteins.

Disordered proteins and domains are ubiquitous throughout the proteome of human cell types, yet the biomolecular sciences lack effective tool compounds and chemical strategies to study this class of proteins. In this context, we introduce a novel covalent tool compound approach that combines proximity-enhanced crosslinking with histidine trapping. Utilizing a maleimide-cyclohexenone crosslinker for efficient cysteine-histidine crosslinking, we elucidated the mechanism of this dual-reactive tool compound class.

Background: Enolase 1 (ENO1) is a conserved glycolytic enzyme that regulates glycolysis metabolism. However, its role beyond glycolysis in the pathophysiology of multiple myeloma (MM) remains largely elusive. Herein, this study aimed to elucidate the function of ENO1 in MM, particularly its impact on mitophagy under bortezomib-induced apoptosis.

Background: Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder with both genetic and environmental factors contributing to its pathogenesis. While early-onset AD has well-established genetic determinants, the genetic basis for late-onset AD remains less clear. This study investigates a large Italian family with late-onset autosomal dominant AD, identifying a novel rare missense variant in GRIN2C gene associated with the disease, and evaluates the functional impact of this variant.

Aggregation of alpha-synuclein (αsyn) plays an integral role in Parkinson's disease (PD) and Dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB). 14-3-3θ is a highly expressed brain protein with chaperone-like activity that regulates αsyn folding. 14-3-3θ overexpression reduces αsyn aggregation, transmission between cells, and neuronal loss, while 14-3-3 inhibition promotes αsyn pathology.
