    Abstract Protein-protein interactions (PPI) are vital in regulating the biological and physiological functions in a given cell or organism. Proteomics, in conjunction with bioinformatic tools, represents the study involving the characterization of the protein content of the genome of a given biological system. Like PPI, an interaction between either coding or noncoding RNA and a complex set of host proteins protein plays an essential role in gene expression at translational, posttranscriptional, and epigenetic level. Although a wide range of techniques such as shotgun proteomics, MuDPIT, etc. are available for characterizing PII, those for characterizing RNA-protein interactions are infancy. Given the significance of the long noncoding RNAs (lnc-RNA) in plant biology, it is imperative to isolate and characterize the functionality of the host proteome interacting with RNA. In this context, riboproteomics approach becomes a valuable tool to study these interactions. Here, using a noncoding plant pathogenic satellite-RNA (Sat-RNA) of Cucumber mosaic virus (CMV) as an RNA source, we describe a stepwise protocol for identifying the host proteome interacting specifically with the Sat-RNA. This protocol streamlines steps starting from in vitro transcription of RNA, preparation of RNA affinity column, preparation of cell lysate from Nicotiana benthamiana leaves infected with the Sat-RNA followed by the Co-IP and preparation of samples for LC-MS/MS. We believe this approach is applicable to a wide range of RNAs of any nature associated with eukaryotic and prokaryotic organisms.

    Abstract Heavy metal ions can be introduced into the water through several point and non-point sources including leather industry, coal mining, agriculture activity and domestic waste. Regrettably, these toxic heavy metals may pose a threat to both humans and animals, particularly when they infiltrate water and soil. Heavy metal poisoning can lead to many health complications, such as liver and renal dysfunction, dermatological difficulties, and potentially even malignancies. To mitigate the risk of heavy metal ion exposure to humans and animals, it is imperative to extract them from places that have been polluted. Several conventional methods such as ion exchange, reverse osmosis, ultrafiltration, membrane filtration and chemical precipitation have been used for the removal of heavy metal ions. However, these methods have high operation costs and generate secondary pollutants during water treatment. Biosorption is an alternative approach to eliminating heavy metals from water that involves employing eco-friendly and cost-effective biomass. This review is focused on the heavy metal ions contamination in the water, biosorption methods for heavy metal removal and mathematical modeling to explain the behaviour of heavy metal adsorption. This review can be helpful to the researchers to design wastewater treatment plants for sustainable wastewater treatment.

    Abstract Background & objective: Heterozygous familial hypercholesterolemia (FHeH) is important risk factor for premature coronary artery disease (CAD). Strategies for its diagnosis and prevalence have not been well studied in India. We performed healthcare worker-based opportunistic screening to assess feasibility for determining its prevalence.
    Methods: A healthcare worker was trained in use of Dutch Lipid Clinic Network (DLCN) criteria for diagnosis of FHeH. Successive eligible individuals (n = 3000 of 3450 screened) presenting to biochemistry laboratories of two hospitals for blood lipid measurements were evaluated for FHeH. Cascade screening or genetic studies were not performed. Descriptive statistics are reported.
    Results: We included 2549 participants (men 1870, women 679) not on statin therapy. Health worker screened 25-30 individuals/day in 6-10 minutes each. The mean age was 46.2±11y. Variables of DLCN criteria were more in women vs men: family history 51.1 vs 35.6%, past CAD 48.2 vs 20.1%, arcus cornealis 1.1 vs 0.3%, tendon xanthoma 0.3 vs 0.1%, and LDL cholesterol 190-249 mg/dl in 8.5 vs 2.4%, 250-329 mg/dl in 0.7 vs 0% and ≥330 mg/dl in 0.3 vs 0% (p<0.01). Definite FHeH (DLCN score >8) was in 15 (0.59%, frequency 1:170) and probable FHeH (score 6-8) in 87 (3.4%, frequency 1:29). The prevalence was significantly greater in women, age <50y and in those with hypertension, diabetes and known CAD.
    Conclusions: Healthcare worker-led opportunistic screening for diagnosis of FHeH using DLCN criteria is feasible in low-resource settings. The results show significant prevalence of clinically detected definite and probable FHeH in the population studied.

    Abstract Plant pathogenic single strand positive-sense RNA viruses with the tripartite genome are classified into two families: Bromoviridae and Virgaviridae. Family Bromoviridae contains four genera Bromo, Cucumo, Alfamo, and Ilarviruses characterized by icosahedral particles. By contrast family Virgaviridae contains only one genus, Hordeivirus, with tripartite genome and characterized by helical particles. Unlike in monopartite plant viruses, packaging in tripartite RNA viruses requires a well-orchestrated process to ensure that viral progeny is selectively encapsidated and distributed optimally into three or four different viral capsids. Among the tripartite RNA viruses mentioned above, brome mosaic virus (BMV), the type member of the genus bromovirus, has been extensively used as a model system to unravel the mechanism of genome packaging. Using the available research data on BMV, this review is focused in updating the readers on how various macromolecular interactions (e.g. packaging signals) and biological factors (i.e. type of host plant) modulate genome packaging. The review also offers new directions of research to further our knowledge on the genome packaging in tripartite viruses.

    Abstract Herpes simplex virus-1 (HSV-1) is a significant human pathogen. Upon infection, HSV-1 expresses its immediate early (IE) genes, and the IE transcription factor ICP4 (infectious cell protein-4) plays a pivotal role in initiating the downstream gene-expression cascade. Using live-cell time-lapse fluorescence microscopy, flow cytometry, qPCR, and chromatin immunoprecipitation, we quantitatively monitored the expression of ICP4 in individual cells after infection. We find that extrinsic stimuli can accelerate ICP4 kinetics without increasing ICP4 protein or mRNA levels. The accelerated ICP4 kinetics-despite unchanged steady-state ICP4 protein or mRNA level-correlate with increased HSV-1 replicative fitness. Hence, the kinetics of ICP4 functionally mirror the kinetics of the human herpesvirus cytomegalovirus IE2 "accelerator" circuit, indicating that IE accelerator circuitry is shared among the alpha and beta herpesviruses. We speculate that this circuit motif is a common evolutionary countermeasure to throttle IE expression and thereby minimize the inherent cytotoxicity of these obligate viral transactivators.

    Abstract In low- and middle-income countries most of the cancer patients attend the hospital at a late stage and treatment completion of these cases is challenging. The early detection program (EDP), in rural areas of Punjab state, India was initiated to identify breast, cervical, and oral cancer at an early stage by raising awareness and providing easy access to diagnosis and treatment. A total of 361 health education programs and 99 early detection clinics were organized. The symptomatic and self-interested (non-symptomatic individuals who opted for screening) cases visited the detection clinic. They were screened for breast, cervical, and/or oral cancer. Further diagnosis and treatment of screen-positive cases were carried out at Homi Bhabha Cancer Hospital (HBCH), Sangrur. Community leaders and healthcare workers were involved in all the activities. The EDP, Sangrur removed barriers between cancer diagnosis and treatment with the help of project staff. From 2019 to 2023, a total of 221,317 populations were covered. Symptomatic and self-interested individuals attended the breast (1627), cervical (1601), and oral (1111) examinations. 46 breast (in situ-4.3%; localized-52.2%), 9 cervical (localized-77.8%), and 12 oral (localized-66.7%) cancer cases were detected, and treatment completion was 82.6%, 77.8%, and 50.0%, respectively. We compared cancer staging and treatment completion of cases detected through EDP with the cases attended HBCH from Sangrur district in 2018; the difference between two groups is statistically significant. Due to the early detection approach, there is disease down-staging and improvement in treatment completion. This approach is feasible and can be implemented to control these cancers in low- and middle-income countries.
