Published: April 2024

α-Mannosidase (ALMAN) extracted from onion () was purified by column chromatography such as hydrophobic and gel filtration. ALMAN is an acidic α-mannosidase that exhibits maximum activity against NP-α-Man at pH 4.0-5.0 at 50°C. Amino acid sequence analysis of ALMAN was consistent with α-mannosidase deduced from transcriptome analysis. The gene was amplified by PCR using mRNA extracted from onions, and a full-length gene of 3,054 bp encoding a protein of 1,018 amino acid residues was revealed. ALMAN is classified as Glycoside Hydrolase Family (GH) 38 and showed homology with other plant-derived α-mannosidases such as tomato and hot pepper.

Unlabelled: Variably protease-sensitive prionopathy (VPSPr) is a rare, atypical subtype of prion disease in which many patients exhibit a family history of dementia. Rare protein-coding variants in , which are causal for all known forms of genetic prion disease, have been ruled out in all VPSPr cases to date, leading to suspicion that VPSPr could be caused by variants in other genes or by non-coding variation in or near . We performed exome sequencing and targeted sequencing of non-coding regions on genomic DNA from autopsy-confirmed VPSPr patients (N=67) in order to search for a possible genetic cause.

Cross-reactivity of anti-modified protein antibodies in rheumatoid arthritis.

Clin Exp Rheumatol

December 2024

Department of Rheumatology and Immunology, West China Hospital, Sichuan University, Chengdu, and Clinical Institute of Inflammation and Immunology (CIII), Frontiers Science Centre for Disease-related Molecular Network, West China Hospital, Sichuan University, Chengdu, Sichuan, China.

This review comprehensively discusses the cross-reactivity of autoantibodies against modified proteins (AMPAs), the hallmark of rheumatoid arthritis (RA). We found that regardless of tissue sources, subtypes, or isotypes of B cells, AMPAs show high cross-reactivity within and across antigens undergoing citrullination, carbamylation, lysine-acetylation or ornithine-acetylation. The cross-reactive patterns of AMPAs display clonal and individual heterogeneity.

Food allergies are pathological adverse reactions against harmless dietary proteins. While studies have shown the involvement of host metabolic changes (, lipid metabolism and amino acid metabolism) in the development of food allergy (FA), the adaptive changes in glucose metabolism induced by food allergen exposure remain largely unclear. In this study, BALB/c mice were sensitized intraperitoneally with an ovalbumin (OVA)/aluminum adjuvant, followed by oral OVA challenges to induce anaphylaxis.

AlphaFold-guided molecular replacement for solving challenging crystal structures.

Acta Crystallogr D Struct Biol

January 2025

Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biophysics, Columbia University, New York, NY 10032, USA.

Molecular replacement (MR) is highly effective for biomolecular crystal structure determination, increasingly so as the database of known structures has increased. For candidates without recognizable similarity to known structures, however, crystal structure analyses have nearly always required experiments for de novo phase evaluation. Now, with the unprecedented accuracy of AlphaFold predictions of protein structures from amino-acid sequences, an appreciable expansion of the reach of MR for proteins is realized.
