RESUMEN
ADP-ribose (ADPr) readers are essential components of ADP-ribosylation signaling, which regulates genome maintenance and immunity. The identification and discrimination between monoADPr (MAR) and polyADPr (PAR) readers is difficult because of a lack of suitable affinity-enrichment reagents. We synthesized well-defined ADPr probes and used these for affinity purifications combined with relative and absolute quantitative mass spectrometry to generate proteome-wide MAR and PAR interactomes, including determination of apparent binding affinities. Among the main findings, MAR and PAR readers regulate various common and distinct processes, such as the DNA-damage response, cellular metabolism, RNA trafficking, and transcription. We monitored the dynamics of PAR interactions upon induction of oxidative DNA damage and uncovered the mechanistic connections between ubiquitin signaling and ADP-ribosylation. Taken together, chemical biology enables exploration of MAR and PAR readers using interaction proteomics. Furthermore, the generated MAR and PAR interaction maps significantly expand our current understanding of ADPr signaling.

Molecular chaperones assist in protein refolding by selectively binding to proteins in their nonnative states. Despite progress in creating artificial chaperones, these designs often have a limited range of substrates they can work with. In this paper, we present molecularly imprinted flexible polymer nanoparticles (nanoMIPs) designed as customizable biomimetic chaperones. We used model proteins such as cytochrome c, laccase, and lipase to screen polymeric monomers and identify the most effective formulations, offering tunable charge and hydrophobic properties. Utilizing a dispersed phase imprinting approach, we employed magnetic beads modified with destabilized whole-protein as solid-phase templates. This process involves medium exchange facilitated by magnetic pulldowns, resulting in the synthesis of nanoMIPs featuring imprinted sites that effectively mimic chaperone cavities. These nanoMIPs were able to selectively refold denatured enzymes, achieving up to 86.7% recovery of their activity, significantly outperforming control samples. Mechanistic studies confirmed that nanoMIPs preferentially bind denatured rather than native enzymes, mimicking natural chaperone interactions. Multifaceted analyses support the functionality of nanoMIPs, which emulate the protective roles of chaperones by selectively engaging with denatured proteins to inhibit aggregation and facilitate refolding. This approach shows promise for widespread use in protein recovery within biocatalysis and biomedicine.

Escape from metastable states in self-assembly of colloids is an intractable problem. Unlike the commonly adopted approach of thermal annealing, the recently developed enthalpy-mediated strategy provided a different option to address this dilemma in a dynamically controllable manner at room temperature. However, it required a complex catalytic-assembly DNA strand-displacement circuitry to mediate interaction between multiple components. In this work, we present a simple but effective way to achieve catalytic-assembly of DNA-functionalized colloidal nanoparticles, i.e., programmable atom equivalents, in a far-from-equilibrium system. A removable molecule named "catassembler" that acts as a catalyst was employed to rectify imperfect linkages and help the system escape from metastability without affecting the assembled framework. Notably, catalytic efficiency of the catassembler can be effectively improved by changing the seesaw catassembler in toehold length design or numbers of the repeat units. Leveraging this tractable catalytic-assembly approach, different ordered architectures were easily produced by directly mixing all reactants, as in chemical reactions. By switching bonding identities, solid-solid phase transformations between different colloidal crystals were achieved. This work opens up an avenue for programming colloid assembly in a far-from-equilibrium system.
RESUMEN
Advanced glycation end products (AGEs) are non-enzymatic post-translational modifications of amino acids and are associated with diabetic complications. One proposed pathomechanism is the impaired processing of AGE-modified proteins or peptides including prohormones. Two approaches were applied to investigate whether substrate modification with AGEs affects the processing of substrates like prohormones to the active hormones. First, we employed solid-phase peptide synthesis to generate unmodified as well as AGE-modified protease substrates. Activity of proteases towards these substrates was quantified. Second, we tested the effect of AGE-modified proinsulin on the processing to insulin. Proteases showed the expected activity towards the unmodified peptide substrates containing arginine or lysine at the C-terminal cleavage site. Indeed, modification with Nε-carboxymethyllysine (CML) or methylglyoxal-hydroimidazolone 1 (MG-H1) affected all proteases tested. Cysteine cathepsins displayed a reduction in activity by â¼50% towards CML and MG-H1 modified substrates. The specific proteases trypsin, proprotein convertases subtilisin-kexins (PCSKs) type proteases, and carboxypeptidase E (CPE) were completely inactive towards modified substrates. Proinsulin incubation with methylglyoxal at physiological concentrations for 24â h resulted in the formation of MG-modified proinsulin. The formation of insulin was reduced by up to 80% in a concentration-dependent manner. Here, we demonstrate the inhibitory effect of substrate-AGE modifications on proteases. The finding that PCSKs and CPE, which are essential for prohormone processing, are inactive towards modified substrates could point to a yet unrecognized pathomechanism resulting from AGE modification relevant for the etiopathogenesis of diabetes and the development of obesity.

Quantitative information on blood metabolites can be used in developing advanced medical strategies such as early detection and prevention of disease. Monitoring bioactive lipids such as steroids, bile acids, and PUFA metabolites could be a valuable indicator of health status. However, a method for simultaneously measuring these bioactive lipids has not yet been developed. Here, we report a LC/MS/MS method that can simultaneously measure 144 bioactive lipids, including steroids, bile acids, and PUFA metabolites, from human plasma, and a sample preparation method for these targets. Protein removal by methanol precipitation and purification of bioactive lipids by solid-phase extraction improved the recovery of the targeted compounds in human plasma samples, demonstrating the importance of sample preparation methods for a wide range of bioactive lipid analyses. Using the developed method, we studied the plasma from healthy human volunteers and confirmed the presence of bioactive lipid molecules associated with sex differences and circadian rhythms. The developed method of bioactive lipid analysis can be applied to health monitoring and disease biomarker discovery in precision medicine.

The goal of proteomics experiments is to identify proteins to observe changes in cellular processes and diseases. One challenge in proteomics is the removal of contaminants following protein extraction, which can limit protein identifications. Single-pot, solid-phase-enhanced sample preparation (SP3) is a cleanup technique in which proteins are captured on carboxylate-modified particles through a proposed hydrophilic-interaction-liquid-chromatography (HILIC)-like mechanism. Recent results have suggested that proteins are captured in SP3 due to a protein-aggregation mechanism. Solvent precipitation, single-pot, solid-phase-enhanced sample preparation (SP4) is a newer cleanup technique that employs protein aggregation to capture proteins without modified particles. We hypothesize that differences in capture mechanisms of SP3 and SP4 affect which proteins are identified by each cleanup technique. Herein, we assess the proteins identified and enriched using SP3 versus SP4 for MCF7 subcellular fractions and correlate protein capture in each method to protein hydrophobicity. Our results indicate that SP3 captures more hydrophilic proteins through a combination of HILIC-like and protein-aggregation mechanisms, while SP4 captures more hydrophobic proteins through a protein-aggregation mechanism. Ultimately, we demonstrate that protein-capture mechanisms are distinct, and the selection of a cleanup technique that yields high proteome coverage is dependent on protein-sample hydrophobicity. Data has been deposited into MassIVE (MSV000094130) and ProteomeXchange (PXD049965).
RESUMEN
Decarboxylation of phosphatidylserine (PS) to form phosphatidylethanolamine by PS decarboxylases (PSDs) is an essential process in most eukaryotes. Processing of a malarial PSD proenzyme into its active alpha and beta subunits is by an autoendoproteolytic mechanism regulated by anionic phospholipids, with PS serving as an activator and phosphatidylglycerol (PG), phosphatidylinositol, and phosphatidic acid acting as inhibitors. The biophysical mechanism underlying this regulation remains unknown. We used solid phase lipid binding, liposome-binding assays, and surface plasmon resonance to examine the binding specificity of a processing-deficient Plasmodium PSD (PkPSDS308A) mutant enzyme and demonstrated that the PSD proenzyme binds strongly to PS and PG but not to phosphatidylethanolamine and phosphatidylcholine. The equilibrium dissociation constants (Kd) of PkPSD with PS and PG were 80.4 nM and 66.4 nM, respectively. The interaction of PSD with PS is inhibited by calcium, suggesting that the binding mechanism involves ionic interactions. In vitro processing of WT PkPSD proenzyme was also inhibited by calcium, consistent with the conclusion that PS binding to PkPSD through ionic interactions is required for the proenzyme processing. Peptide mapping identified polybasic amino acid motifs in the proenzyme responsible for binding to PS. Altogether, the data demonstrate that malarial PSD maturation is regulated through a strong physical association between PkPSD proenzyme and anionic lipids. Inhibition of the specific interaction between the proenzyme and the lipids can provide a novel mechanism to disrupt PSD enzyme activity, which has been suggested as a target for antimicrobials, and anticancer therapies.

Despite the recent progress on the solution-phase enzymatic synthesis of heparan sulfate (HS) and chondroitin sulfate (CS), solid-phase enzymatic synthesis has not been fully investigated. Here, we describe the solid-phase enzymatic synthesis of HS and CS backbone oligosaccharides using specialized linkers. We demonstrate the use of immobilized HS linker to synthesize CS, and the use of immobilized CS linker to synthesize HS. The linkers were then digested with chondroitin ABCase and heparin lyases, respectively, to obtain the products. Our findings uncover a potential approach for accelerating the synthesis of structurally homogeneous HS and CS oligosaccharides.

One of the difficulties limiting covalent organic frameworks (COFs) from becoming excellent adsorbents is their stacking/aggregation architectures owing to poor morphology/structure control during the synthesis process. Herein, an inorganic-organic nanoarchitectonics strategy to synthesize the MXene/COF heterostructure (Ti3 C2 Tx /TAPT-TFP) is developed by the assembly of ß-ketoenamine-linked COF on the Ti3 C2 Tx MXene nanosheets. The as-prepared Ti3 C2 Tx /TAPT-TFP retains the 2D architecture and high adsorption capacity of MXenes as well as large specific surface area and hierarchical porous structure of COFs. As a proof of concept, the potential of Ti3 C2 Tx /TAPT-TFP for solid-phase microextraction (SPME) of trace organochlorine pesticides (OCPs) is investigated. The Ti3 C2 Tx /TAPT-TFP based SPME method achieves low limits of detection (0.036-0.126 ng g-1 ), wide linearity ranges (0.12-20.0 ng g-1 ), and acceptable repeatabilities for preconcentrating trace OCPs from fruit and vegetable samples. This study offers insights into the potential of constructing COF or MXene-based heterostructures for the microextraction of environmental pollutants.
RESUMEN
The development of miniaturized high-throughput in situ screening platforms capable of handling the entire process of drug synthesis to final screening is essential for advancing drug discovery in the future. In this study, an approach based on combinatorial solid-phase synthesis, enabling the efficient synthesis of libraries of proteolysis targeting chimeras (PROTACs) in an array format is presented. This on-chip platform allows direct biological screening without the need for transfer steps. UV-induced release of target molecules into individual droplets facilitates further on-chip experimentation. Utilizing a mitogen-activated protein kinase kinases (MEK1/2) degrader as a template, a series of 132 novel PROTAC-like molecules is synthesized using solid-phase Ugi reaction. These compounds are further characterized using various methods, including matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization mass spectrometry (MALDI-MS) imaging, while consuming only a few milligrams of starting materials in total. Furthermore, the feasibility of culturing cancer cells on the modified spots and quantifying the effect of MEK suppression is demonstrated. The miniaturized synthesis platform lays a foundation for high-throughput in situ biological screening of potent PROTACs for potential anticancer activity and offers the potential for accelerating the drug discovery process by integrating miniaturized synthesis and biological steps on the same array.

The pursuit of enhancing the heat transfer performance of composite elastomers as the thermal interface materials (TIMs) is a compelling and timely endeavor, given the formidable challenges posed by interfacial thermal transport in the domains of energy science, electronic technology, etc. Despite the efficacy of phase change materials (PCMs) in enhancing composite elastomers' interfacial compatibility, thereby reducing contact thermal resistance for heat transfer improvement, their leakage post-transition has impeded the widespread adoption of this approach. Herein, a strategy is proposed for developing a solid-solid phase change composite elastomer by grafting alkene chains onto the crosslink network to eliminate the possibility of leakage. A series characterization suggest that the resulting material possesses a self-adjusting interfacial compatibility feature to help reduce contact thermal resistance for heat transfer facilitating. The investigations on adhesion strength and surface energy reveal that the presence of amorphous grafted alkane chains at the interface facilitates easier absorption onto the contacting solid surface, enhancing intermolecular interactions at the interface to promote across-boundary heat transfer. By integrating these findings with the thermal performance evaluation of composite elastomers using a real test vehicle, valuable insights are gained for the design of composite elastomers, establishing their suitability as TIMs in relevant fields.
RESUMEN
Metal-doped ruthenium oxides with low prices have gained widespread attention due to their editable compositions, distorted structures, and diverse morphologies for electrocatalysis. However, the mainstream challenge lies in breaking the so-called seesaw relationship between activity and stability during acidic oxygen evolution reaction (OER). Herein, strain wave-featured Mn-RuO2 nanowires (NWs) with asymmetric Ru-O-Mn bonds are first fabricated by thermally driven rapid solid phase conversion from RuMn alloy nanoparticles (NPs) at moderate temperature (450 °C). In 0.5 M H2SO4, the resultant NWs display a surprisingly ultralow overpotential of 168 mV at 10 mA cm-2 and run at a stable cell voltage (1.67 V) for 150 h at 50 mA cm-2 in PEMWE, far exceeding IrO2||Pt/C assemble. The simultaneous enhancement of both activity and stability stems from the presence of dense strain waves composed of alternating compressive and tensile ones in the distorted NWs, which collaboratively activate the Ru-O-Mn sites for faster OER. More importantly, the atomic strain waves trigger dynamic Ru-O-Mn regeneration via the refilling of oxygen vacancies by oxyanions adsorbed on adjacent Mn and Ru sites, achieving long-term stability. This work opens a door to designing non-precious metal-assisted ruthenium oxides with unique strains for practical application in commercial PEMWE.
RESUMEN
The improper use and overuse of antibiotics have led to significant burdens and detrimental effects on the environment, food supply, and human health. Herein, a magnetic solid-phase extraction program and an optical immunosensor based on bimetallic Ce/Zr-UiO 66 for the detection of antibiotics are developed. A magnetic Fe3O4@SiO2@Ce/Zr-UiO 66 metal-organic framework (MOF) is prepared to extract and enrich chloramphenicol from fish, wastewater, and urine samples, and a horseradish peroxidase (HRP)-Ce/Zr-UiO 66@bovine serum protein-chloramphenicol probe is used for the sensitive detection of chloramphenicol based on the dual-effect catalysis of Ce and HRP. In this manner, the application of Ce/Zr-UiO 66 in integrating sample pretreatment and antibiotic detection is systematically investigated and the associated mechanisms are explored. It is concluded that Ce/Zr-UiO 66 is a versatile dual-track material exhibiting high enrichment efficiency (6.37 mg g-1) and high sensitivity (limit of detection of 51.3 pg mL-1) for chloramphenicol detection and serving as a multifunctional MOF for safeguarding public health and hygiene.

Low-cost bifunctional electrocatalysts capable of efficiently driving the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) and oxygen evolution reaction (OER) are needed for the growth of a green hydrogen economy. Herein, a Ru/Co3O4 heterojunction catalyst rich in oxygen vacancies (VO) and supported on carbon cloth (RCO-VO@CC) is prepared via a solid phase reaction (SPR) strategy. A RuO2/Co9S8@CC precursor (ROC@CC) is first prepared by loading Co9S8 nanosheets onto CC, following the addition of RuO2 nanoparticles (NPs). After the SPR process in an Ar atmosphere, Ru/Co3O4 heterojunctions with abundant VO are formed on the CC. The compositionally optimized RCO-VO@CC electrocatalyst with a Ru content of 0.55 wt.% exhibits very low overpotential values of 11 and 253 mV at 10 mA cm-2 for HER and OER, respectively, in 1 m KOH. Further, a low cell voltage of only 1.49 V is required to achieve a current density of 10 mA cm-2. Density functional theoretical calculations verify that the outstanding bifunctional electrocatalytic performance originates from synergistic charge transfer between Ru metal and VO-rich Co3O4. This work reports a novel approach toward a high-efficiency HER/OER electrocatalyst for energy storage and conversion.
RESUMEN
A facile gaseous CO2 mediated solid-to-solid transformation principle is adopted to insert additional CO3 2- anions into the thin single-crystal nanosheets of Bi2O2CO3, which is built of periodic arrays of intrinsic CO3 2- anions and (Bi2O2)2+ layers. The additional CO3 2- anions create abundant defects. The Bi2O2CO3 nanosheets with rich interlayer CO3 2- exhibit superior electronic properties and charge transfer kinetics than the pristine single-crystal 2D Bi2O2CO3 and display enhanced catalytic activity in photocatalytic CO2 reduction reaction and the photocatalytic oxidative degradation of organic pollutants. This work thus illustrates interlayer engineering as a flexible means to build layered 2D materials with excellent properties.
RESUMEN
Insulin has long provided a model for studies of protein folding and stability, enabling enhanced treatment of diabetes mellitus via analogue design. We describe the chemical synthesis of a basal insulin analogue stabilized by substitution of an internal cystine (A6-A11) by a diselenide bridge. The studies focused on insulin glargine (formulated as Lantus® and Toujeo®; Sanofi). Prepared at pHâ 4 in the presence of zinc ions, glargine exhibits a shifted isoelectric point due to a basic B chain extension (ArgB31 -ArgB32 ). Subcutaneous injection leads to pH-dependent precipitation of a long-lived depot. Pairwise substitution of CysA6 and CysA11 by selenocysteine was effected by solid-phase peptide synthesis; the modified A chain also contained substitution of AsnA21 by Gly, circumventing acid-catalyzed deamidation. Although chain combination of native glargine yielded negligible product, in accordance with previous synthetic studies, the pairwise selenocysteine substitution partially rescued this reaction: substantial product was obtained through repeated combination, yielding a stabilized insulin analogue. This strategy thus exploited both (a) the unique redox properties of selenocysteine in protein folding and (b) favorable packing of an internal diselenide bridge in the native state, once achieved. Such rational optimization of protein folding and stability may be generalizable to diverse disulfide-stabilized proteins of therapeutic interest.

While foldamers have been extensively studied as protein mimics and especially as α-helix mimics, their use as capping motif to enhance α-helix propensity remains comparatively much limited. In this study, we leverage the structural similarities between urea-based helical foldamers and α-helix to investigate the efficacy of oligoureas as N- or C-caps for reinforcing α-helical structures in water. Short oligoureas, comprising 3 to 4 residues, were strategically introduced at the N- or C-terminus of two peptide sequences (S-peptide and an Ala-rich model sequence). The impact of these foldamer insertions on peptide conformation was examined using electronic circular dichroism (ECD) and solution NMR. This research identifies specific foldamer sequences capable of promoting α-helicity when incorporated at either terminus of the peptides. Not only does this work broaden the application scope of foldamers, but it also provides valuable insights into novel strategies for modulating peptide conformation in aqueous environments. The findings presented in this study may have implications for peptide design and the development of bioactive foldamer-based peptide mimics.
RESUMEN
The chemical rules governing protein folding have intrigued generations of researchers for decades. With the advent of artificial intelligence (AI), prediction of protein structure has improved tremendously. However, there is still a level of analysis that is only possible through wet laboratory experiments, especially in respect to the investigation of the pathological effect of mutations and posttranslational modifications (PTMs) on proteins of interest. This requires the availability of pure peptides and proteins in sufficient quantities for biophysical, biochemical, and functional studies. In this context, chemical protein synthesis and semi-synthesis are powerful tools in protein research, which help to enlighten the role of protein modification in the physiology and pathology of proteins. A protein of high interest in the field of biomedicine is alpha-synuclein (aSyn), a protein deeply associated with several devastating neurodegenerative disorders such as Parkinson's disease (PD), dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB), or multiple systems atrophy (MSA). Here, we describe several methods and pathways to synthesize native or modified aSyn, and discuss how these approaches enable us to address pathological mechanisms that may open novel perspectives for therapeutic intervention.
RESUMEN
Intrinsically disordered proteins are abundant in the nucleus and are prime sites for posttranslational modifications that modulate transcriptional regulation. Lacking a defined three-dimensional structure, intrinsically disordered proteins populate an ensemble of several conformational states, which are dynamic and often altered by posttranslational modifications, or by binding to interaction partners. Although there is growing appreciation for the role that intrinsically disordered regions have in regulating protein-protein interactions, we still have a poor understanding of how to determine conformational population shifts, their causes under various conditions, and how to represent and model conformational ensembles. Here, we study the effects of serine phosphorylation in the nucleosome-binding domain of an intrinsically disordered protein - HMGN1 - using NMR spectroscopy, circular dichroism and modelling of protein complexes. We show that phosphorylation induces local conformational changes in the peptide backbone and decreases the helical propensity of the nucleosome binding domain. Modelling studies using AlphaFold3 suggest that phosphorylation disrupts the interface between HMGN1 and the nucleosome acidic patch, but that the models over-predict helicity in comparison to experimental data. These studies help us to build a picture of how posttranslational modifications might shift the conformational populations of disordered regions, alter access to histones, and regulate chromatin compaction.
RESUMEN
In this study, magnetic graphene oxide coated with poly(8-hydroxyquinoline) was successfully synthesized, characterized, and utilized as a novel sorbent for the ultrasonic-assisted dispersive magnetic solid-phase extraction of naproxen and ibuprofen. These analytes served as representative analytes for two nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs in various real samples. Characterization techniques, such as IR, X-ray powder diffraction, field emission scanning electron microscopy, energy-dispersive X-ray-mapping, and Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET), were used to confirm the correctness synthesis and preparation of the nanocomposites. Effective parameters on the extraction efficiency were investigated to maximize the analytical performance of the developed method. The dynamic range (1-1000 µg L-1), coefficients of determination (R2 ≥ 0.997), the limits of detection (0.3-1.0 µg L-1), and limit of quantification (1.0-3.0 µg L-1), intra-day and inter-day precisions (3.5%-7.2%) were achieved. The method validation results showed extraction recovery ranging from 80.4% to 96.0% and preconcentration factors ranging from 137 to 140.
