The fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster represents a classic genetic model organism that is amenable to a plethora of comprehensive analyses including proteomics. SILAC-based quantitative proteomics is a powerful method to investigate the translational and posttranslational regulation ongoing in cells, tissues, organs, and whole organisms. Here we describe a protocol for routine SILAC labeling of Drosophila adults within one generation to produce embryos with a labeling efficiency of over 92%. In combination with genetic selection markers, this method permits the quantification of translational and posttranslational changes in embryos mutant for developmental and disease-related genes.

Article Synopsis
- Post-hepatectomy liver failure (PHLF) poses a major risk for patients after partial liver surgery, with a need for better prognostic markers and treatments to boost liver recovery.
- A study analyzed plasma samples from nine hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) patients before and after surgery to identify proteins in extracellular vesicles (EVs) that might indicate liver regeneration status.
- The findings revealed significant changes in protein levels in patients with PHLF, highlighting disruptions in critical cellular processes and suggesting potential biomarkers that were present before the surgery.

p53 deficiency plays a crucial role in chemotherapy resistance through various biological events, including posttranslational modifications (PTMs). Recently, lysine crotonylation (Kcr) has been shown to play a vital role in cancer progression. However, the global p53-regulated crotonylome and the function of these altered Kcr proteins after p53 deficiency remain unclear.

The carryover of trace allergens in complex food matrices poses challenges for detection techniques. Here, we demonstrate an accurate UPLC-MS/MS quantification assay for the shrimp allergen tropomyosin with a full-length isotope-labelled recombinant tropomyosin (TM-I) internal standard in complex food matrices. The TM-I, expressed based on the SILAC technique, exhibited a high isotope labelling ratio (>99%), purity, and alignment with the natural sequence.

Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is the most aggressive subtype of breast cancer, and is characterized by a high infiltration of tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs). TAMs contribute significantly to tumor progression by intricately interacting with tumor cells. Deeply investigating the interaction between TNBC cells and TAMs is of great importance for finding potential biomarkers and developing novel therapeutic strategies to further improve the clinical outcomes of TNBC patients.
