-alkylation and -metallation of pyridine are explored herein to understand how metal-ligand complexes can model NAD redox chemistry. Syntheses of substituted dipyrazolylpyridine (pzP) compounds (pzP)Me (1) and (pzP)GaCl (2) are reported, and compared with (pzP)AlCl(THF) and transition element pzP complexes from previous reports. Cyclic voltammetry measurements of cationic 1 and 2 show irreversible reduction events ∼900 mV anodic those for neutral pzP complexes of divalent metals. We proposed that -metallation using Group 13 ions of 3+ charge provides an electrochemical model for -alkylated pyridyls like NAD.

Background: Traumatic brain injury (TBI) often results in diverse molecular responses, challenging traditional proteomic studies that measure average changes at tissue levels and fail to capture the complexity and heterogeneity of the affected tissues. Spatial proteomics offers a solution by providing insights into sub-region-specific alterations within tissues. This study focuses on the hippocampal sub-regions, analyzing proteomic expression profiles in mice at the acute (1 day) and subacute (7 days) phases of post-TBI to understand subregion-specific vulnerabilities and long-term consequences.

Article Synopsis
- JADE is a key part of the HBO1 acetyltransferase complex, which plays a significant role in regulating gene transcription and developmental processes.
- The PZP domain of JADE binds to histone H3 and DNA, facilitating the recruitment of the HBO1 complex to chromatin and influencing its enzymatic activity based on the methylation status of H3K4.
- JADE’s involvement is linked to leukemogenesis, enhancing the activity of specific fusion proteins, indicating its critical role in both normal and pathological cellular functions.

Identification of unique and specific biomarkers to better detect and quantify senescent cells remains challenging. By a global proteomic profiling of senescent human skin BJ fibroblasts induced by ionizing radiation (IR), the cellular level of pregnancy zone protein (PZP), a presumable pan-protease inhibitor never been linked to cellular senescence before, was found to be decreased by more than 10-fold, while the level of PZP in the conditioned medium was increased concomitantly. This observation was confirmed in a variety of senescent cells induced by IR or DNA-damaging drugs, indicating that high-level secretion of PZP is a novel senescence-associated secretory phenotype.

The core subunit of the MORF acetyltransferase complex BRPF1 contains a unique combination of zinc fingers, including a plant homeodomain (PHD) finger followed by a zinc knuckle and another PHD finger, which together form a PZP domain (BRPF1). BRPF1 has been shown to bind to the nucleosome and make contacts with both histone H3 tail and DNA. Here, we describe biophysical and structural methods for characterization of the interactions between BRPF1, H3 tail, DNA, and the intact nucleosome.

Article Synopsis
- Pazopanib (PZP) is a tyrosine kinase inhibitor approved by the FDA for soft tissue sarcoma and renal cancer, and its binding mechanism with human serum albumin (HSA) was studied under physiological conditions.
- The study determined that PZP binds to HSA primarily through hydrophobic interactions and static quenching, with moderate binding affinity indicated by fluorescence and UV-vis absorption spectroscopy.
- Additionally, PZP showed potential protective effects on HSA against thermal stress and primarily binds to Sudlow's Site I on HSA, as supported by competitive drug displacement tests and molecular docking analysis.
