Targeting the MDM2‐MDM4 interaction interface reveals an otherwise therapeutically active wild‐type p53 in colorectal cancer

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
This study investigates an alternative approach to reactivating the oncosuppressor p53 in cancer. A short peptide targeting the association of the two p53 inhibitors, MDM2 and MDM4, induces an otherwise therapeutically active p53 with unique features that promote cell death and potentially reduce toxicity towards proliferating nontumor cells.

The roles and applications of extracellular vesicles in cancer

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are minute versions of cells limited by a lipid bilayer containing cytoplasm from the cell that releases them, but without a nucleus and thus unable to self‐reproduce. EVs contain multiple molecules (proteins, lipids, glycans, and nucleic acids) they can induce complex responses in cells.

Trinucleotide cassettes increase diversity of T7 phage-displayed peptide library

BMC Biotechnology, 2007
Background Amino acid sequence diversity is introduced into a phage-displayed peptide library by randomizing library oligonucleotide DNA. We recently evaluated the diversity of peptide libraries displayed on T7 lytic phage and M13 filamentous phage and ...

Improving the Results of De novo Peptide Identification via Tandem Mass Spectrometry Using a Genetic Programming-based Scoring Function for Re-ranking Peptide-Spectrum Matches [PDF]

arXiv, 2019
De novo peptide sequencing algorithms have been widely used in proteomics to analyse tandem mass spectra (MS/MS) and assign them to peptides, but quality-control methods to evaluate the confidence of de novo peptide sequencing are lagging behind. A fundamental part of a quality-control method is the scoring function used to evaluate the quality of ...

Thermal proteome profiling and proteome analysis using high‐definition mass spectrometry demonstrate modulation of cholesterol biosynthesis by next‐generation galeterone analog VNPP433‐3β in castration‐resistant prostate cancer

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Elevated level of cholesterol is positively correlated to prostate cancer development and disease severity. Cholesterol‐lowering drugs, such as statins, are demonstrated to inhibit prostate cancer. VNPP433‐3β interrupts multiple signaling and metabolic pathways, including cholesterol biosynthesis, AR‐mediated transcription of several oncogenes, mRNA 5′

Multidimensional OMICs reveal ARID1A orchestrated control of DNA damage, splicing, and cell cycle in normal‐like and malignant urothelial cells

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Loss of the frequently mutated chromatin remodeler ARID1A, a subunit of the SWI/SNF cBAF complex, results in less open chromatin, alternative splicing, and the failure to stop cells from progressing through the cell cycle after DNA damage in bladder (cancer) cells. Created in BioRender. Epigenetic regulators, such as the SWI/SNF complex, with important

Antihyperuricemic activity and inhibition mechanism of xanthine oxidase inhibitory peptides derived from whey protein by virtual screening

Journal of Dairy Science
: Xanthine oxidase (XO), a rate-limiting enzyme in uric acid production, is the pivotal therapeutic target for gout and hyperuricemia. In this study, 57 peptides from α-lactalbumin and β-lactoglobulin were obtained via virtual enzymatic hydrolysis, and ...

Bitter peptide prediction using graph neural networks

Journal of Cheminformatics
Bitter taste is an unpleasant taste modality that affects food consumption. Bitter peptides are generated during enzymatic processes that produce functional, bioactive protein hydrolysates or during the aging process of fermented products such as cheese,

A 2D IR Study of Isotope-Edited Variants of the Elastin-like GVGVPGVG Peptide and the Size Dependent Behavior of (VPGVG)n [PDF]

arXiv, 2017
This study uses two-dimensional infrared (2D IR) spectroscopy in conjunction with isotope labeling and spectral modeling from molecular dynamics simulations to identify the dominant turn conformations that exist in equilibrium ensembles of the (VPGVG)n family of intrinsically disordered elastin-like peptides.

Protein Sequencing with an Adaptive Genetic Algorithm from Tandem Mass Spectrometry

, 2008
In Proteomics, only the de novo peptide sequencing approach allows a partial amino acid sequence of a peptide to be found from a MS/MS spectrum. In this article a preliminary work is presented to discover a complete protein sequence from spectral data ...
