tolerate dehydration when their environments evaporate during summer months. Protein phosphorylation has previously shown to regulate important adaptations in , including the transition to anaerobic metabolism. We therefore performed phosphoproteomic analysis of to further elucidate the cellular and metabolic responses to dehydration. Phosphoproteins were enriched in cellular functions and pathways related to glycolysis/gluconeogenesis, the TCA cycle, and protein metabolism, among others. The prominence of phosphoproteins related to glucose metabolism led us to discover that the hypoxia-inducible PFKFB3 enzyme was highly phosphorylated and likely activated during dehydration, a feature of many cancers. Expression of the four transcript variants of the gene was found all to be upregulated during dehydration, potentially due to the enrichment of hypoxia responsive elements in the promoter. These results further support the role of anaerobic glycolysis during dehydration in and elucidate a potential mechanism for its increased rate.

Phosphoproteins maintain the normal metabolic activity of the organisms. Direct phosphopeptides detection is difficult to be realized by mass spectroscopy (MS) due to the low ionization efficiency, low abundance of phosphopeptides and interferences of complicated biological fluids. In the present work, a magnetic composite material was prepared by combining polyethyleneimine (PEI) and fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC) focusing on phosphopeptides enrichment.

Sperm cryopreservation is widely used in assisted reproductive technology (ART) and livestock breeding. Although sperm cryopreservation accelerates breeding, the quality of cryopreserved sperm tends to be decreased. Improving the quality of frozen sperm is a hot topic, and spirulina polysaccharide, known for its immunomodulatory and antioxidant properties, is considered a promising natural extract for extensive studies.

During pollen-stigma interaction, pollen coat protein B-class peptides (PCP-Bs) compete with stigmatic rapid alkalinization factor (RALF) for interaction with FERONIA/ANJEA receptor kinases (FER/ANJ), stimulating pollen hydration and germination. However, the molecular mechanism underlying PCP-Bs-induced, FER/ANJ-regulated compatible responses remains largely unknown. Through PCP-Bγ-induced phosphoproteomic analysis, we characterized a series of pollination-related signaling pathways regulated by FER/ANJ.

The energetic demands of proliferating cells during tumorigenesis require close coordination between the cell cycle and metabolism. While CDK4 is known for its role in cell proliferation, its metabolic function in cancer, particularly in triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC), remains unclear. Our study, using genetic and pharmacological approaches, reveals that CDK4 inactivation only modestly impacts TNBC cell proliferation and tumor formation.
