The effect of exogenous and endogenous products storage in lysosomes on the activity and multiple forms of alpha-L-fucosidase from human skin fibroblasts was investigated. It was shown that sucrose load, modelling intralysosomal accumulation of nonhydrolyzable products, causes certain changes in secretion level of alpha-L-fucosidase and multiple forms' spectra of the intracellular and secreted enzymes. These changes were different for the enzyme from embryonal and postnatal normal fibroblasts. Some changes of secreted alpha-L-fucosidase isoforms' spectra were found in fibroblasts from a patient with Fabry's disease, characterized by the intralysosomal storage of di- and trihexosylceramides. The alterations of isoforms' profiles in Fabry fibroblasts at the early and late accumulation stages were similar to those in sucrose-loaded embryonal and postnatal fibroblasts, respectively. It is proposed that intralysosomal accumulation of nonhydrolyzable compounds influences the alpha-L-fucosidase posttranslational processing.

Due to computational resource limitations, in mass spectrometry based proteomics only a limited set of peptide sequences is used for the matching against measured spectra. We present an approach to represent proteins by graphs and allow not only the canonical sequences but also known isoforms and annotated amino acid variations, e.g.

Diagnostic Accuracy of Novel Protein Biomarkers in Saliva to Detect Periodontitis Using Untargeted 'SWATH' Mass Spectrometry.

J Clin Periodontol

December 2024

Oral Sciences Research Group, Special Needs Unit, Department of Surgery and Medical-Surgical Specialties, School of Medicine and Dentistry, Universidade de Santiago de Compostela, Health Research Institute of Santiago (IDIS), Santiago de Compostela, Spain.

Aim: To discover new salivary biomarkers to diagnose periodontitis and evaluate the impact of age and smoking on predictive capacity.

Material And Methods: Saliva samples were collected from 44 healthy periodontal individuals and 41 with periodontitis. Samples were analysed by sequential window acquisition of all theoretical mass spectra (SWATH-MS), and proteins were identified by employing the UniProt database.

The human genome has been the subject of intense scrutiny by experimental and manual curation projects for more than two decades. Novel coding genes have been proposed from large-scale RNASeq, ribosome profiling and proteomics experiments. Here we carry out an in-depth analysis of an entire proteomics database.

Apolipoprotein E4 (apoE4) is the strongest genetic risk factor for Alzheimer's disease (AD). However, structural differences between apoE4 and the AD-neutral isoform, apoE3, still remain unclear. Recent studies suggest that apoE4 harbors intermediates.
