Abstract

Hydroxylation of proline residue occurs in specific peptides and proteins derived from plants and animals, but the functional role of this modification has been characterized primarily in collagen. Marine cone snails produce disulfide-rich peptides that have undergone a plethora of posttranslational modifications, including proline hydroxylation. Although Conus snails extensively utilize proline hydroxylation, the consequences of this modification remain largely unexplored. In this work, we investigated the function of 4-hydroxyproline (Hyp) in conotoxins from three distinct gene families: mu-, omega-, and alpha-conotoxins. Analogues of mu-GIIIA, omega-MVIIC, alpha-GI, and alpha-ImI were synthesized with either Pro or Hyp, and their in vitro oxidative folding and biological activity were characterized. For GIIIA, which naturally contains three Hyp residues, the modifications improved the ability to block NaV1.4 sodium channels but did not affect folding. In contrast, the presence of Hyp in MVIIC had a significant impact on the oxidative folding but not on the biological activity. The folding yields for the MVIIC[Pro7Hyp] analogue were approximately 2-fold higher than for MVIIC under a variety of optimized oxidation conditions. ...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.
