High-value recycling of agro-industrial by-products is the focus of global sustainable development. A method of the recovery and utilization of corn-ethanol co-product to produce functional lipids via Aspergillus niger (A. niger) was proposed. The lipid changes in distillers dried grains with solubles (DDGS) were monitored via lipidomics. 648 lipids (five classes, 29 subclasses) were identified, including 75 fatty acyls, 203 glycerolipids, 184 glycerophospholipids, 169 sphingolipids, and 17 glucosylsphingoshine. Glycerolipids were the most abundant lipids, accounting for 31%. As fermentation proceeded, the concentration of lipids with 1-9 unsaturated bonds steadily increased. Oleic acid and linoleic acid were the main fatty acids accumulated. The pathways enrichment results showed glycerophospholipid metabolism, glycerolipids metabolism, sphingolipid metabolism, and biosynthesis of unsaturated fatty acids were the key metabolic pathways involved during DDGS fermentation. These results provided a comprehensive knowledge of the lipid profiles in fermented DDGS and proposed a new approach for high-value utilization of DDGS.

Background: Traditional studies of protein responses to external stimuli primarily focus on changes in protein abundance, often overlooking the critical role of protein conformational alterations. To address this gap, we developed Protein Abundance and Conformation Analysis (PACA), an integrative method that quantifies both protein abundance and conformational changes. PACA combines conventional quantitative proteomics for abundance measurements with Target Response Accessibility Profiling (TRAP), a technique that captures conformational changes in situ by applying reductive dimethylation to label accessible lysine residues in living cells before lysis.

Background: GPR171 suppresses T cell immune responses involved in antitumour immunity, while its role in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) pathogenesis remains unclear.

Objective: We aimed to investigate the role of GPR171 in modulating CD4 T cell effector functions in IBD and evaluate its therapeutic potential.

Design: We analysed GPR171 expression in colon biopsies and peripheral blood samples from patients with IBD and assessed the impact of GPR171 on CD4 T cell differentiation through administration of its endogenous ligand (BigLEN).

Acetyl-CoA Synthetase Short Chain Family Member-1 (ACSS1) catalyzes the ligation of acetate and coenzyme A to generate acetyl-CoA in the mitochondria to produce ATP through the tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle. We recently generated an ACSS1-acetylation (Ac) mimic knock-in mouse, where lysine 635 was mutated to glutamine (K635Q), which structurally and biochemically mimics an acetylated lysine. ACSS1 enzymatic activity is regulated, at least in part, through the acetylation of lysine 635 in mice (lysine 642 in humans), a Sirtuin 3 deacetylation target.

Post-lactation mass recovery and metabolic hormone dynamics in adult female Weddell seals.

Weddell seal (Leptonychotes weddellii) females lose substantial body mass across an intensive, nutritionally restricted lactation period and then must rapidly recover mass during the short Antarctic summer. In this study, we examined endocrine dynamics associated with mass loss across lactation and subsequent realimentation in Weddell seals, comparing patterns between seals that recently gave birth and demographically similar non-reproductive females (skip females) in McMurdo Sound, Antarctica. Postpartum seals near weaning (∼35 days postpartum, n = 64) and skip females (n = 32) were handled during early austral summer (November/December) and rehandled in late summer (January/February).
