Unconventional protein post-translational modifications: the helmsmen in breast cancer
Breast cancer is the most prevalent malignant tumor and a leading cause of mortality among females worldwide. The tumorigenesis and progression of breast cancer involve complex pathophysiological processes, which may be mediated by post-translational ...

Liquid biopsy epigenetics: establishing a molecular profile based on cell‐free DNA
Cell‐free DNA (cfDNA) fragments in plasma from cancer patients carry epigenetic signatures reflecting their cells of origin. These epigenetic features include DNA methylation, nucleosome modifications, and variations in fragmentation. This review describes the biological properties of each feature and explores optimal strategies for harnessing cfDNA ...

Identifying Protein Interactions with Histone Peptides Using Bio-layer Interferometry
Histone post-translational modifications (PTMs) regulate numerous cellular processes, including gene transcription, cell division, and DNA damage repair. Most histone PTMs affect the recruitment or exclusion of reader proteins from chromatin.

Complex coordination of cell plasticity by a PGC-1α-controlled transcriptional network in skeletal muscle [PDF]
Skeletal muscle cells exhibit an enormous plastic capacity in order to adapt to external stimuli. Even though our overall understanding of the molecular mechanisms that underlie phenotypic changes in skeletal muscle cells remains poor, several factors ...

Peptide Sequencing With Single Acid Resolution Using a Sub‐Nanometer Diameter Pore
To sequence a single molecule of Aβ1−42–sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS), the aggregate is forced through a sub‐nanopore 0.4 nm in diameter spanning a 4.0 nm thick membrane. The figure is a visual molecular dynamics (VMD) snapshot depicting the translocation of Aβ1−42–SDS through the pore; only the peptide, the SDS, the Na+ (yellow/green) and Cl− (cyan ...

Post-Translational Modifications in Mammalian Folliculogenesis and Ovarian Pathologies
Post-translational modifications (PTMs) of proteins, as the core mechanism for dynamically regulating follicular development, affect the maintenance of mammalian fertility by precisely coordinating granulosa cell–oocyte interaction, metabolic ...
