Methods of structural mass spectrometry have become more popular to study protein structure and dynamics. Among them, fast photochemical oxidation of proteins (FPOP) has several advantages such as irreversibility of modifications and more facile determination of the site of modification with single residue resolution. In the present study, FPOP analysis was applied to study the hemoglobin (Hb) - haptoglobin (Hp) complex allowing identification of respective regions altered upon the complex formation. FPOP footprinting using a timsTOF Pro mass spectrometer revealed structural information for 84 and 76 residues in Hp and Hb, respectively, including statistically significant differences in the modification extent below 0.3%. The most affected residues upon complex formation were Met76 and Tyr140 in Hbα, and Tyr280 and Trp284 in Hpβ. The data allowed determination of amino acids directly involved in Hb - Hp interactions and those located outside of the interaction interface yet affected by the complex formation. Also, previously modeled interaction between Hb βTrp37 and Hp βPhe292 was not confirmed by our data. Data are available via ProteomeXchange with identifier PXD021621.

Insulin-like growth factor II mRNA-binding proteins (IGF2BPs), a family of RNA-binding proteins, are pivotal in regulating RNA dynamics, encompassing processes such as localization, metabolism, stability, and translation through the formation of ribonucleoprotein complexes. First identified in 1999 for their affinity to insulin-like growth factor II mRNA, IGF2BPs have been implicated in promoting tumor malignancy behaviors, including proliferation, metastasis, and the maintenance of stemness, which are associated with unfavorable outcomes in various cancers. Additionally, non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs), particularly long non-coding RNAs, circular RNAs, and microRNAs, play critical roles in cancer progression through intricate protein-RNA interactions.

Spermatogenesis and sperm maturation are complex biological processes that involve intricate cellular and molecular interactions. The Aldh2 gene is involved in the metabolism of specific aldehydes generated by oxidative stress. Aldh2 is abundantly expressed in the testis and epididymis; however, the specific role of Aldh2 in regulating spermatogenesis and sperm maturation remains unclear.
