Purpose Of Review: The differentiation from colony forming unit-erythroid (CFU-E) cells to mature enucleated red blood cells is named terminal erythropoiesis in mammals. Apart from enucleation, several unique features during these developmental stages include proteome remodeling and organelle clearance that are important to achieve hemoglobin enrichment. Here, we review the recent advances in the understanding of novel regulatory mechanisms in these processes, focusing on the master regulators that link these major events during terminal erythropoiesis.
Recent Findings: Comprehensive proteomic studies revealed a mismatch of protein abundance to their corresponding transcript abundance, which indicates that the proteome remodeling is regulated in a complex way from transcriptional control to posttranslational modifications. Key regulators in organelle clearance were also found to play critical roles in proteome remodeling.
Summary: These studies demonstrate that the complexity of terminal erythropoiesis is beyond the conventional transcriptomic centric perspective. Posttranslational modifications such as ubiquitination are critical in terminal erythroid proteome remodeling that is also closely coupled with organelle clearance.

Ischemic stroke is the most common cerebrovascular disease and the leading cause of permanent disability worldwide. Recent studies have shown that stroke development and prognosis are closely related to abnormal tryptophan metabolism. Here, significant downregulation of 3-hydroxy-kynurenamine (3-HKA) in stroke patients and animal models is identified.

Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) establishes persistent infection, causes infectious mononucleosis, is a major trigger for multiple sclerosis and contributes to multiple cancers. Yet, knowledge remains incomplete about how the virus remodels host B cells to support lytic replication. We previously identified that EBV lytic replication results in selective depletion of plasma membrane (PM) B cell receptor (BCR) complexes, composed of immunoglobulin and the CD79A and CD79B signaling chains.

We have previously demonstrated that a ketogenic diet alleviates cardiac pathology, though the underlying mechanisms remain largely unknown. Here we show that KAT6A acetylation is crucial for mitochondrial function and cell growth.

The ubiquitin-proteasome system (UPS) is essential for cellular homeostasis, regulating the degradation of proteins involved in key processes such as cell cycle, apoptosis, and DNA repair. Dysregulation of the UPS is implicated in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), contributing to tumor progression and therapeutic resistance. The cereblon (CRBN) E3 ubiquitin ligase complex is a crucial component of the UPS, particularly in modulating protein degradation in response to small-molecule modulators like thalidomide.

Background: In biomanufacturing of surface-active agents, such as rhamnolipids, excessive foaming is a significant obstacle for the development of high-performing bioprocesses. The exploitation of the inherent tolerance of Pseudomonas putida KT2440, an obligate aerobic bacterium, to microaerobic conditions has received little attention so far. Here low-oxygen inducible promoters were characterized in biosensor strains and exploited for process control under reduction of foam formation by low aeration and stirring rates during biosynthesis of rhamnolipids.
