Natural product-based PROteolysis TArgeting Chimeras (PROTACs)
Covering: upto 2022 Natural products have an embedded recognition of protein surfaces. They possess this property as they are produced by biosynthetic enzymes and are substrates for one or more enzymes in the biosynthetic pathway. The inherent advantages,

Self-Assembly of Proteolysis Targeting Chimeras Via Reversible Bioorthogonal Reactions
Targeted protein degradation (TPD) by PROteolysis TArgeting Chimeras (PROTACs) is of great interest for probe molecule and drug development. However, current bivalent PROTACs are rule-breaking molecules with sub-optimal cellular permeability, solubility,

Proteolysis of insulin-like growth factor binding proteins (IGFBPs) by calpain [PDF]
Calpains are non-lysosomal, Ca2+-dependent cysteine proteases, which are ubiquitously distributed across cell types and vertebrate species. The rules that govern calpain specificity have not yet been determined.

Zinc metalloproteinases and amyloid Beta-Peptide metabolism : the positive side of proteolysis in Alzheimer's disease [PDF]
Alzheimer's disease is a neurodegenerative condition characterized by an accumulation of toxic amyloid beta- (Aβ-)peptides in the brain causing progressive neuronal death.

Signal peptide peptidases and gamma-secretase: Cousins of the same protease family? [PDF]
Signal peptide peptidase (SPIP) is an unusual aspartyl protease, which mediates clearance of signal peptides by proteolysis within the endoplasmic reticulum (ER).

βTrCP-mediated proteolysis of NF-kB1 p105 requires phosphorylation of p105 serines 927 and 932
This work was supported by the U.K. Medical Research Council, the Arthritis Research Campaign (project grant L0536 to V.L.), and the AINP consortium, EC—5th framework.NF-κB1 p105 functions both as a precursor of NF-κB1 p50 and as a cytoplasmic inhibitor ...

Tau acetylation at K331 has limited impact on tau pathology in vivo
We mapped tau post‐translational modifications in humanized MAPT knock‐in mice and in amyloid‐bearing double knock‐in mice. Acetylation within the repeat domain, particularly around K331, showed modest increases under amyloid pathology. To test functional relevance, we generated MAPTK331Q knock‐in mice.

Plasma membranes contain dynamic nanoscale domains that organize lipids and receptors. Because viruses operate at similar scales, this architecture shapes early infection steps, including attachment, receptor engagement, and entry. Using influenza A virus and HIV‐1 as examples, we highlight how receptor nanoclusters, multivalent glycan interactions ...

Degradation mechanism of the von Willebrand factor A2 domain by nattokinase
Nattokinase, a natto‐derived protease, exhibits potent antithrombotic effects. This study demonstrates that nattokinase directly cleaves the von Willebrand factor (vWF) A2 domain in vitro. Unlike the native regulator ADAMTS13, nattokinase degrades folded vWF independently of shear stress.
