Protein degradation and oxidation are two major alterations during the storage of processed bighead carp fillets. This study conducted a comparative analysis of degraded and oxidized products as well as oxidation sites in fresh, frozen and brined frozen bighead carp fillets. Frozen storage played a dominant role in protein degradation and oxidation, and brining promoted these changes. In brined frozen samples, the decreased SDS-PAGE band intensities for tropomyosin, troponin, and myosin light chain were mainly due to their degradation. Myosin heavy chain fast skeletal muscle was the most oxidized and degraded protein during storage, with modifications such as monooxidation, protein-lipid peroxidation adducts, and α-aminoadipic semialdehydes formation. Amino acids in the tail portion of myosin were prone to oxidation than the head portions. Our results provided comprehensive insights into protein degradation and oxidation in bighead carp during storage, helping to assess the specific fate of oxidative products in future dietary investigations.

Silk fibroin (SF) hydrogels are widely used in three-dimensional (3D) cell culture and tissue repair. Despite their importance, few studies have focused on regulating their degradation and further revealing the effects of the degradation process on encapsulated cell behaviors. Herein, SF hydrogels with equivalent initial properties and different degradation rates were prepared by adjusting the ratios between the hydrogel-encapsulated normal SF microspheres (MS) and enzyme-loaded SF microspheres (MS).

Selenopeptides can be ideal dietary selenium (Se) supplements for humans. Currently, rice is not used much as a source of selenopeptides. Here, we executed the selenopeptidomics analysis of selenium-enriched rice protein hydrolysates using the full MS-dd-MS2 acquisition method and identified selenopeptides, including L{Se-Met}AK and other selenopeptides.

Designing binders to target undruggable proteins presents a formidable challenge in drug discovery. In this work, we provide an algorithmic framework to design short, target-binding linear peptides, requiring only the amino acid sequence of the target protein. To do this, we propose a process to generate naturalistic peptide candidates through Gaussian perturbation of the peptidic latent space of the ESM-2 protein language model and subsequently screen these novel sequences for target-selective interaction activity via a contrastive language-image pretraining (CLIP)-based contrastive learning architecture.

NF2-related schwannomatosis, previously known as neurofibromatosis type 2, is a genetic disorder characterized by nerve tumors due to gene mutations. Mice with deletion develop schwannomas slowly with low penetrance, hence inconvenient for preclinical studies. Here, we show that NF2, by recruiting E3 ubiquitin ligases β-TrCP1/2, promotes WWC1-3 ubiquitination and degradation.

Gram-negative bacterial pathogens inject effector proteins inside plant cells using a type III secretion system. These effectors manipulate plant cellular functions and suppress the plant immune system in order to promote bacterial proliferation. Despite the fact that bacterial effectors are exogenous threatening proteins potentially exposed to the protein degradation systems inside plant cells, effectors are relative stable and able to perform their virulence functions.
