    Abstract The three-dimensional structure of monomers and homodimers of CYP102A1/WT (wild-type) proteins and their A83F and A83I mutant forms was predicted using the AlphaFold2 (AF2) and AlphaFold Multimer (AFMultimer) programs, which were compared with the rate constants of hydroxylation reactions of these enzyme forms to determine the efficiency of intra- and interprotein electron transport in the CYP102A1 hydroxylase system. The electron transfer rate constants ( k et ), which determine the rate of indole hydroxylation by the CYP102A1 system, were calculated based on the distances (R) between donor-acceptor prosthetic groups (PG) FAD→FMN→HEME of these proteins using factor β, which describes an exponential decay from R the speed of electron transport (ET) according to the tunnelling mechanism. It was shown that the structure of monomers in the homodimer, calculated using the AlpfaFold Multimer program, is in good agreement with the experimental structures of globular domains (HEME-, FMN-, and FAD-domains) in CYP102A1/WT obtained by X-ray structural analysis, and the structure of isolated monomers predicted in AF2 does not coincide with the structure of monomers in the homodimer, although a high level of similarity in individual domains remains. The structures of monomers and homodimers of A83F and A83I mutants were also calculated, and their structures were compared with the wild-type protein. Significant differences in the structure of all isolated monomers with respect to the structures of monomers in homodimers were also found for them, and at the same time, insignificant differences were revealed for all homodimers. Comparative analysis for CYP102A1/WT between the calculated intra- and interprotein distances FAD→FMN→HEME and the rate constants of hydroxylation in these proteins showed that the distance between prosthetic groups both in the monomer and in the dimer allows the implementation of electron transfer between PGs, which is consistent with experimental literature data about k cat . For the mutant form of ...

    Abstract Within the Human Proteome Project initiative framework for creating functional annotations of uPE1 proteins, the neXt-CP50 Challenge was launched in 2018. In analogy with the missing-protein challenge, each command deciphers the functional features of the proteins in the chromosome-centric mode. However, the neXt-CP50 Challenge is more complicated than the missing-protein challenge: the approaches and methods for solving the problem are clear, but neither the concept of protein function nor specific experimental and/or bioinformatics protocols have been standardized to address it. We proposed using a retrospective analysis of the key HPP repository, the neXtProt database, to identify the most frequently used experimental and bioinformatic methods for analyzing protein functions, and the dynamics of accumulation of functional annotations. It has been shown that the dynamics of the increase in the number of proteins with known functions are greater than the progress made in the experimental confirmation of the existence of questionable proteins in the framework of the missing-protein challenge. At the same time, the functional annotation is based on the guilty-by-association postulate, according to which, based on large-scale experiments on API-MS and Y2H, proteins with unknown functions are most likely mapped through “handshakes” to biochemical processes.

    Abstract The beginning of the twenty-first century witnessed novel breakthrough research directions in the life sciences, such as genomics, transcriptomics, translatomics, proteomics, metabolomics, and bioinformatics. A newly developed single-molecule approach addresses the physical and chemical properties and the functional activity of single (individual) biomacromolecules and viral particles. Within the alternative approach, the combination of “single-molecule approaches” is opposed to “omics approaches”. This new approach is fundamentally unique in terms of its research object (a single biomacromolecule). Most studies are currently performed using postgenomic technologies that allow the properties of several hundreds of millions or even billions of biomacromolecules to be analyzed. This paper discusses the relevance and theoretical, methodological, and practical issues related to the development potential of a single-molecule approach using methods based on molecular detectors.

    Abstract A meta-analysis of the results of targeted quantitative screening of human blood plasma was performed to generate a reference standard kit that can be used for health analytics. The panel included 53 of the 296 proteins that form a “stable” part of the proteome of a healthy individual; these proteins were found in at least 70% of samples and were characterized by an interindividual coefficient of variation <40%. The concentration range of the selected proteins was 10 −10 –10 −3 M and enrichment analysis revealed their association with rare familial diseases. The concentration of ceruloplasmin was reduced by approximately three orders of magnitude in patients with neurological disorders compared to healthy volunteers, and those of gelsolin isoform 1 and complement factor H were abruptly reduced in patients with lung adenocarcinoma. Absolute quantitative data of the individual proteome of a healthy and diseased individual can be used as the basis for personalized medicine and health monitoring. Storage over time allows us to identify individual biomarkers in the molecular landscape and prevent pathological conditions.

    Abstract The data was acquired from 3 normal human liver tissues by LC-MS methods. The tissue liver samples from male subjects post mortem were obtained from ILSBio LLC (https://bioivt.com/). Liver tissue was frozen in liquid nitrogen, transported and shipped on dry ice. The proteins were extracted and purified followed up by trypsin hydrolysis. The peptide mixture was aliquoted and analyzed by different LC-MS approaches: one-dimensional shotgun LC-MS, two-dimensional LC-MS, two-dimensional SRM SIS (Selected Reaction Monitoring with Stable Isotope-labeled peptide Standards). The Shotgun assay resulted in a qualitative in-depth human liver proteome, and a semi-quantitative iBAQ (intensity-based absolute quantification) value was calculated to show the relative protein content of the sample. Absolute quantitative concentrations of proteins encoded by human chromosome 18 using SRM SIS were obtained.

    Abstract Scientists currently use only a small portion of the information contained in the blood metabolome. The identification of metabolites is a huge challenge because only highly abundant and well-separated compounds can be easily identified in complex samples. However, new approaches that enhance the identification of compounds have emerged; among them, the identification of compounds based on their involvement in a particular biological context is a recent development. In this work, this approach was first applied to identify metabolites in complex samples and, together with metabolite set enrichment analysis, was used for the evaluation of blood plasma from obese patients. The proposed approach was found to provide a statistically sound overview of the biochemical pathways, thus presenting additional information on obesity. Obesity progression was demonstrated to be accompanied by marked alterations in steroidogenesis, androstenedione metabolism, and androgen and estrogen metabolism. The findings of this study suggest that the workflow used for blood analysis is sufficient to demonstrate obesity at the biochemical pathway level as well as to monitor the response to treatment. This workflow is also expected to be suitable for studying other metabolic diseases.

    Abstract The Human Proteome Project is moving into the next phase of creating and/or reconsidering the functional annotations of proteins using the chromosome-centric paradigm. This challenge cannot be solved exclusively using automated means, but rather requires human intelligence for interpreting the combined data. To foster the integration between human cognition and post-genome array a number of specific tools were recently developed, among them CAPER, GenomewidePDB, and The Proteome Browser (TPB). For the purpose of tackling the task of protein functional annotating the Gene-Centric Content Management System (GenoCMS) was expanded with new features. The goal was to enable bioinformaticans to develop self-made applications and to position these applets within the generalized informational canvas supported by GenoCMS. We report the results of GenoCMS-enabled integration of the concordant informational flows in the chromosome-centric framework of the human chromosome 18 project. The workflow described in the article can be scaled to other human chromosomes, and also supplemented with new tracks created by the user. The GenoCMS is an example of a project-oriented informational system, which are important for public data sharing.

    Abstract This work demonstrates the use of a modified mica to concentrate proteins, which is required for proteomic profiling of blood plasma by mass spectrometry (MS). The surface of mica substrates, which are routinely used in atomic force microscopy (AFM), was modified with a photocrosslinker to allow “irreversible” binding of proteins via covalent bond formation. This modified substrate was called the AFM chip. This study aimed to determine the role of the surface and crosslinker in the efficient concentration of various types of proteins in plasma over a wide concentration range. The substrate surface was modified with a 4-benzoylbenzoic acid N-succinimidyl ester (SuccBB) photocrosslinker, activated by UV irradiation. AFM chips were incubated with plasma samples from a healthy volunteer at various dilution ratios (10 2 X, 10 4 X, and 10 6 X). Control experiments were performed without UV irradiation to evaluate the contribution of physical protein adsorption to the concentration efficiency. AFM imaging confirmed the presence of protein layers on the chip surface after incubation with the samples. MS analysis of different samples indicated that the proteomic profile of the AFM-visualized layers contained common and unique proteins. In the working series of experiments, 228 proteins were identified on the chip surface for all samples, and 21 proteins were not identified in the control series. In the control series, a total of 220 proteins were identified on the chip surface, seven of which were not found in the working series. In plasma samples at various dilution ratios, a total of 146 proteins were identified without the concentration step, while 17 proteins were not detected in the series using AFM chips. The introduction of a concentration step using AFM chips allowed us to identify more proteins than in plasma samples without this step. We found that AFM chips with a modified surface facilitate the efficient concentration of proteins owing to the adsorption factor and the formation of covalent bonds between the ...

    Abstract Abstract It is a common fact, that the content of sex hormones in humans and animals varies in different age periods. The functional state of the immune system also changes with age. However, sex differences studies of inflammatory and immune responses during puberty prevail in literature. Investigation of immune responses to LPS peculiarities in prepubertal females and males may contribute to the development of more effective immunotherapy and minimize side effects of children vaccination. Therefore, the aim of this work was to investigate the LPS-induced SIRS sex differences in prepubertal Wistar rats. Despite the absence of sex differences in estradiol and testosterone levels, LPS-induced inflammatory changes in liver and lungs are more pronounced among males. Males demonstrate the increasing neopterin, corticosterone levels and alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) activity. Not less important is that in females, demonstrating less morphological changes in liver and lungs, endotoxin level is tenfold higher, and corticosterone level decreases. Thus, endotoxin cannot be used as a marker of the severity of multiple organ failure in prepubertal period. The LPS-induced immune reactions in females and males are similar and are characterized by immunosuppression. Both females and males have decreased production of cytokines (IL-2, IL-4, TNF-α, TGF-β) and the absolute number of CD3 + and CD3 + CD8 + lymphocytes in blood. The acute atrophy of thymus and apoptosis of thymic cells are revealed in animals of both sexes. However, the number of CD3 + CD4 + T-helpers and CD4 + CD25 + Foxp3 + T-cells decreases only in females with SIRS, and in males there was a decrease of CD45R + B-cells. The least expressed sex differences in immune responses in the prepubertal period can be determined by the low levels of sex steroids and the absence of their immunomodulatory effect. Further studies require the identification of mechanisms, determining the sex differences in the inflammatory and immune responses in prepubertal animals.

    Abstract Obesity is a frightening chronic disease, which has tripled since 1975. It is not expected to slow down staying one of the leading cases of preventable death and resulting in an increased clinical and economic burden. Poor lifestyle choices and excessive intake of “cheap calories” are major contributors to obesity, triggering type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, and other comorbidities. Understanding the molecular mechanisms responsible for development of obesity is essential as it might result in the introducing of anti-obesity targets and early-stage obesity biomarkers, allowing the distinction between metabolic syndromes. The complex nature of this disease, coupled with the phenomenon of metabolically healthy obesity, inspired us to perform data-centric, hypothesis-generating pilot research, aimed to find correlations between parameters of classic clinical blood tests and proteomic profiles of 104 lean and obese subjects. As the result, we assembled patterns of proteins, which presence or absence allows predicting the weight of the patient fairly well. We believe that such proteomic patterns with high prediction power should facilitate the translation of potential candidates into biomarkers of clinical use for early-stage stratification of obesity therapy.
