Peptide hormones commonly binding with G-protein coupled receptors (GPCRs) achieve their function in reproduction. The peppermint shrimp popular in marine ornamental trade and is known to display protandric simultaneous hermaphrodite (PSH). Knowledge on reproductive biology of this commercial species is critical for resources management and aquaculture. This study employed Illumina sequencing and bioinformatics analysis to identify peptides and their candidate GPCRs from male phase (MP) and euhermaphrodite phase (EP) of . A total of 61 peptide and 40 peptide GPCR transcripts derive from 44 peptide families and 13 peptide GPCR families were identified, respectively. Among them, insulin-like androgenic gland hormone and crustacean female sex hormone have two unique mature peptides, respectively, and their transcripts showed higher expression levels in MP than EP, which suggest that these sex differentiation hormones might be involved in sexual characters than spermatogenesis or vitellogenesis. Overall, the first study on identification of peptides and their GPCRs in the genus extends our knowledge of peptidergic signaling in PSH species, and provides an important basis for development of aquaculture strategies.

Peptide , a C18 fatty acid-modified single-chain relaxin analogue, was recently identified as a potent, selective, and long-lasting relaxin family peptide receptor 1 (RXFP1) agonist. Further advanced pharmacokinetic profiling of this compound highlighted elevated levels of oxidative metabolism occurring in dogs and mini pigs but only marginally in rats. This study aimed to design long-lasting relaxin analogues with increased stability against metabolic oxidation while securing subnanomolar RXFP1 potency.

Aims: The utilization of targeted metabolomics technology promises to facilitate the identification of novel metabolic markers in women with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM), which may in turn facilitate a more comprehensive investigation of the underlying mechanisms of gestational diabetes GDM.
Materials And Methods: In this study, we used targeted metabolomics to identify serum metabolites from women with or without GDM. The differential metabolites were categorized and analysed using pathway analyses, correlated with maternal glucose level, and assessed as predictors of GDM by receiver operating characteristics analysis.

Metaproteomics enables the large-scale characterization of microbial community proteins, offering crucial insights into their taxonomic composition, functional activities, and interactions within their environments. By directly analyzing proteins, metaproteomics offers insights into community phenotypes and the roles individual members play in diverse ecosystems. Although database-dependent search engines are commonly used for peptide identification, they rely on pre-existing protein databases, which can be limiting for complex, poorly characterized microbiomes.

Background: Peptidomics combined with molecular docking is an effective alternative method for rapid screening of novel bioactive peptides in food. Buffalo milk as a potential source of dipeptidyl peptidase-IV (DPP-IV) inhibitory peptides has been less studied. Peptidomics and molecular docking methods were employed to rapidly screen new DPP-IV inhibitory peptides from buffalo milk.

Measles is a highly infectious disease and remains a major cause of childhood mortality worldwide. In some cases, the measles virus (MV) induces subacute sclerosing panencephalitis within several years of the acute infection. The infection of the target cells by MV is mediated by the F protein, in which two heptad repeat regions, HR1 and HR2, form a six-helix bundle before membrane fusion.
