Mass Spectrometry Structural Proteomics Enabled by Limited Proteolysis and Cross‐Linking
ABSTRACT The exploration of protein structure and function stands at the forefront of life science and represents an ever‐expanding focus in the development of proteomics. As mass spectrometry (MS) offers readout of protein conformational changes at both the protein and peptide levels, MS‐based structural proteomics is making significant strides in the

Borrelia valaisiana resist complement-mediated killing independently of the recruitment of immune regulators and inactivation of complement components [PDF]
Spirochetes belonging to the Borrelia (B.) burgdorferi sensu lato complex differ in their resistance to complement-mediated killing, particularly in regard to human serum.

Degradomics for large‐scale mechanistic insights on proteases and proteolysis in human health
Proteolysis has an important role in human disease but remains relatively unexplored. Degradomics, the uncovering of proteolysis in tissues, cells, and proteins, uses mass spectrometry‐based terminomics to identify protein termini occurring therein (forward degradomics) and to define the actions of proteases (reverse degradomics).

Contribution of the infection-associated complement regulator-acquiring surface protein 4 (ErpC) to complement resistance of Borrelia burgdorferi [PDF]
Borrelia burgdorferi evades complement-mediated killing by interacting with complement regulators through distinct complement regulator-acquiring surface proteins (CRASPs).

DNA methylome analysis reveals epigenetic alteration of complement genes in advanced metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease [PDF]
Background/Aims Blocking the complement system is a promising strategy to impede the progression of metabolic dysfunction–associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD). However, the interplay between complement and MASLD remains to be elucidated.

Compartment‐Specific Immune Remodeling of Renal Aging With C1q‐Associated Podocyte Activation
Aging repatterns the renal immune response in a compartment‐specific manner, distinct from chronic kidney disease (CKD) adaptation. Glomerular aging features C1q‐associated podocyte activation and macrophage engagement, whereas tubulointerstitial aging is marked by B‐cell aggregation and tertiary lymphoid structure expansion.
