Summary: Human immunoglobulin G (IgG), especially sialylated IgG, plays a crucial role in the diagnosis and management of autoimmune diseases by exerting significant anti-inflammatory effects. Current research indicates that IgG Fc N-glycosylations are more reliable diagnostic and monitoring biomarkers than total IgG autoantibodies. IgG sialylation-based therapies show promise in attenuating pathogenic autoimmunity in preclinical and clinical studies.

Summary: Mucins play important roles in various human diseases, and studying their biosynthesis and inhibition of glycosylation is significant. Our research challenges the traditional view by showing that heavily O-glycosylated mucin domains can be proteolytically degraded in mammalian tissues without prior deglycosylation. This finding provides insights into the endogenous pathways for glycoprotein catabolism.

Summary: The interaction of CD44, a non-kinase transmembrane glycoprotein, with ligands like hyaluronic acid plays a crucial role in tumor occurrence and development. Changes in CD44 glycosylation can regulate multiple signaling pathways, impacting the tumor microenvironment and cell fate. However, our current understanding of CD44 glycosylation and its effects on tumors is limited.

Summary: This study investigated the glycosylation of B cell subsets in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), primary Sjogren's syndrome (pSS), and healthy donors. The findings showed specific alterations in glycosylation profiles of B cells in both diseases, indicating that defective glycosylation may contribute to the development of pathogenic autoantibodies. The study also extended the glycan profile to serum proteins and immunoglobulins, further supporting the importance of glycosylation in autoimmune diseases.

Summary: Akkermansia muciniphila, a key member of the human gut microbiota, has a significant impact on host health through its interaction with host mucin. This study identifies an uncharacterized protein, AMUC_1438, as a unique O-glycopeptidase with mucin-degrading capacity. The protein has a metzincin metalloprotease catalytic motif and specifically recognizes a GalNAc residue alpha-linked to serine or threonine. This understanding of the protein's structure and function contributes to the broader understanding of O-glycopeptidase enzymes and their role in host adaptation.

Summary: This study investigated the effects of soluble glucomannan and insoluble cellulose on mucin secretion and mucin glycosylation-related gene expression in the colons of mice. The results showed that glucomannan treatment significantly increased the number of goblet cells, crypt depth, and the expression of mucin 2 and mucin 3a genes in the colon. Additionally, glucomannan treatment up-regulated the expression of genes involved in the O-glycosylation process.

Summary: Voltage-gated potassium channels of the Kv7.x family play important roles in various biological processes in animals, and their dysfunction can lead to a range of pathologies. This study computationally characterizes the Kv7.2 channel in different conformational states and in complex with the modulator retigabine. The results suggest that retigabine binding can occur in multiple functional states and that it affects the flexibility of voltage sensing domains and the opening of the channel pore. Overall, this study provides new insights into the structure and function of Kv7.2 and related channels.

Summary: Protein-protein interactions are crucial for biological function, and understanding their three-dimensional structures is essential. Computational docking is a useful alternative to experimental approaches for determining these structures, but the scoring problem still needs improvement. MetaScore is a machine-learning-based approach that uses protein-protein interfacial features to score docked conformations. It consistently outperforms traditional scoring functions and an ensemble method combining MetaScore with traditional functions achieves even better performance. Machine learning and ensemble methods can improve the accuracy of scoring protein-protein interactions.

Summary: The increase in protein sequences and structures has allowed for the use of bioinformatics approaches to predict residue-residue interactions. Multiple sequence alignments are commonly used in contact predictions but often produce false positives, which can affect the accuracy of biomolecular complex structure predictions. A tool called DisVis, originally developed for mass spectrometry data, is investigated for its potential to improve the precision of co-evolution predicted contacts. Results show that integrating DisVis with docking software HADDOCK can enhance the quality of docking predictions for low precision contact data.

Summary: Cancer cells rely heavily on the folate cycle for their metabolic needs, but chemotherapy drugs like methotrexate and 5-fluorouracil disrupt this cycle. However, therapy-induced resistance is a problem, and the lack of FPGS is associated with resistance to these drugs. The development of alternative antifolate drugs can selectively target FPGS-deficient cells during chemotherapy, taking advantage of their vulnerability.

Summary: This study collected the sequences of 128 tyrosinase inhibitory peptides and analyzed their hydrophobicity/hydrophilicity properties and amino acid profiles. Molecular docking analysis was used to investigate the binding interactions between peptides and tyrosinase. The study found that hydrophobic and/or polar neutral properties facilitate or stabilize peptide binding with tyrosinase, and short peptides with cysteine and tyrosine tend to bind to the active site of tyrosinase. These findings provide detailed explanations for the relationship between peptide/amino acid structures and tyrosinase inhibition, as well as potential anti-melanogenesis mechanisms for peptide-based treatments against skin hyperpigmentation.

Summary: In this study, it was demonstrated for the first time that FAT1 inhibited AML proliferation by reducing autophagy level. FAT1 achieved this by decreasing the expression of ATG4B, which is related to autophagy. Mechanistically, FAT1 decreased the levels of phosphorylated and intranuclear smad2/3, thus decreasing the activity of the ATG4B gene promoter. It was also found that FAT1 competitively bound to TGF-beta R II, leading to reduced phosphorylation of TGF-beta R I and smad2/3. Knockdown of FAT1 promoted AML autophagy and proliferation in vivo.

Summary: This study investigated the effects of a high-fat high-fructose diet (HFFD) on the behavior, energy metabolism, and oxidative stress markers in the cerebral cortex of mice. The results showed that HFFD stimulated locomotion and defecation, while an AKG-supplemented diet had a tendency to promote anxiety-like behavior. Additionally, there were significant differences in glutathione-dependent detoxification and processes related to autophagy between the two diets.
