Article Abstract

Arsenic (As) is one of the most concerning elements due to its high exposure risks to organisms and ecosystems. The interaction between arsenicals and proteins plays a pivotal role in inducing their biological effects on living systems, e.g., arsenicosis. In this review article, the recent advances in analytical techniques and methods of As-binding proteomes were well summarized and discussed, including chromatographic separation and purification, biotin-streptavidin pull-down probes, in situ imaging using novel fluorescent probes, and protein identification. These analytical technologies could provide a growing body of knowledge regarding the composition, level, and distribution of As-binding proteomes in both cells and biological samples, even at the organellar level. The perspectives on analysis of As-binding proteomes are also proposed, e.g., isolation and identification of minor proteins, in vivo targeted protein degradation (TPD) technologies, and spatial As-binding proteomics. The application and development of sensitive, accurate, and high-throughput methodologies of As-binding proteomics would enable us to address the key molecular mechanisms underlying the adverse health effects of arsenicals.

Protein-Protein Interaction (PPI) prediction plays a pivotal role in understanding cellular processes and uncovering molecular mechanisms underlying health and disease. Structure-based PPI prediction has emerged as a robust alternative to sequence-based methods, offering greater biological accuracy by integrating three-dimensional spatial and biochemical features. This work summarizes the recent advances in computational approaches leveraging protein structure information for PPI prediction, focusing on machine learning (ML) and deep learning (DL) techniques.

The rapid identification of protein-protein interactions has been significantly enabled by mass spectrometry (MS) proteomics-based methods, including affinity purification-MS, crosslinking-MS, and proximity-labeling proteomics. While these methods can reveal networks of interacting proteins, they cannot reveal how specific protein-protein interactions alter protein function or cell signaling. For instance, when two proteins interact, there can be emergent signaling processes driven purely by the individual activities of those proteins being co-localized.

The analysis of cryo-electron tomography images of human and rat mitochondria revealed that the mitochondrial matrix is at least as crowded as the cytosol. To mitigate the crowding effects, metabolite transport in the mitochondria primarily occurs through the intermembrane space, which is significantly less crowded. The scientific literature largely ignores how enzyme systems and metabolite transport are organized in the crowded environment of the mitochondrial matrix.

A Comprehensive Understanding of Post-Translational Modification of Sox2 via Acetylation and -GlcNAcylation in Colorectal Cancer.

Aberrant expression of the pluripotency-associated transcription factor Sox2 is associated with poor prognosis in colorectal cancer (CRC). We investigated the regulatory roles of major post-translational modifications in Sox2 using two CRC cell lines, SW480 and SW620, derived from the same patient but with low and high Sox2 expression, respectively. Acetylation of K75 in the Sox2 nuclear export signal was relatively increased in SW480 cells and promotes Sox2 nucleocytoplasmic shuttling and proteasomal degradation of Sox2.
