    Abstract Native soy protein isolate (N-SPI) has a low denaturation point and low solubility, limiting its industrial application. The influence of different industrial modification methods (heat (H), alkaline (A), glycosylation (G), and oxidation (O)) on the structure of SPI, the properties of the gel, and the gel properties of soy protein isolate (SPI) in myofibril protein (MP) was evaluated. The study found that four industrial modifications did not influence the subunit composition of SPI. However, the four industrial modifications altered SPI's secondary structure and disulfide bond conformation content. A-SPI exhibits the highest surface hydrophobicity and I

    Abstract Glioblastoma (GBM) is characterized by significant heterogeneity, leading to poor survival outcomes for patients, despite the implementation of comprehensive treatment strategies. The roles of cyclin A2 (CCNA2) and NIMA related kinase 2 (NEK2) have been extensively studied in numerous cancers, but their specific functions in GBM remain to be elucidated. The present study aimed to investigate the potential molecular mechanisms of CCNA2 and NEK2 in GBM. CCNA2 and NEK2 expression and prognosis in glioma were evaluated by bioinformatics methods. In addition, the distribution of CCNA2 and NEK2 expression in GBM subsets was determined using pseudo-time analysis and tricycle position of single-cell sequencing. Gene Expression Omnibus and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genome databases were employed and enrichment analyses were conducted to investigate potential signaling pathways in GBM subsets and a nomogram was established to predict 1-, 2- and 3-year overall survival probability in GBM. CCNA2 and NEK2 expression levels were further validated by western blot analysis and immunohistochemical staining in GBM samples. High expression of CCNA2 and NEK2 in glioma indicates poor clinical outcomes. Single-cell sequencing of GBM revealed that these genes were upregulated in a subset of positive neural progenitor cells (P-NPCs), which showed significant proliferation and progression properties and may activate G2M checkpoint pathways. A comprehensive nomogram predicts 1-, 2- and 3-year overall survival probability in GBM by considering P-NPCs, age, chemotherapy and radiotherapy scores. CCNA2 and NEK2 regulate glioblastoma progression by targeting the cell cycle, thus indicating the potential of novel therapy directed to CCNA2 and NEK2 in GBM.

    Abstract A cavitation jet can enhance food proteins’ functionalities by regulating solvable oxidized soybean protein accumulates (SOSPI). We investigated the impacts of cavitation jet treatment on the emulsifying, structural and interfacial features of soluble soybean protein oxidation accumulate. Findings have shown that radicals in an oxidative environment not only induce proteins to form insoluble oxidative aggregates with a large particle size and high molecular weight, but also attack the protein side chains to form soluble small molecular weight protein aggregates. Emulsion prepared by SOSPI shows worse interface properties than OSPI. A cavitation jet at a short treating time (<6 min) has been shown to break the core aggregation skeleton of soybean protein insoluble aggregates, and insoluble aggregates into soluble aggregates resulting in an increase of emulsion activity (EAI) and constancy (ESI), and a decrease of interfacial tension from 25.15 to 20.19 mN/m. However, a cavitation jet at a long treating time (>6 min) would cause soluble oxidized aggregates to reaggregate through an anti-parallel intermolecular β-sheet, which resulted in lower EAI and ESI, and a higher interfacial tension (22.44 mN/m). The results showed that suitable cavitation jet treatment could adjust the structural and functional features of SOSPI by targeted regulated transformation between the soluble and insoluble components.

    Abstract Gliomas, as the most lethal and malignant brain tumours in adults, remain a major challenge worldwide. DNA damage and repair-related genes (DDRRGs) appear to play a significant role in gliomas, but the studies of DDRRGs are still insufficient. Herein, we systematically explored and analysed 1547 DDRRGs in 938 glioma samples from TCGA and CGGA datasets. Using least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) Cox regression analysis, we identified a 16-DDRRG signature, characterized by high-risk and low-risk patterns. This risk model harbours robust predictive capability for overall survival of glioma patients. We found the high-risk score is strongly associated with well-known malignant features of gliomas, such as the mesenchymal subtype, IDH-wildtype, 1p/19q non-codeletion and MGMT promoter unmethylated status. In addition, we found that the high-risk score is also linked with multiple oncogenic pathways and therapeutic resistance. Significantly, we found the high-risk group has higher enrichment of immunosuppressive cells (M2-type macrophages, Tregs and MDSCs) and immune inhibition biomarkers (PD-1, PD-L1 and CTLA-4). Lastly, we proved that SMC4, which has the highest positive regression coefficient in our risk model, is strongly linked with malignant progression and TMZ resistance of gliomas in a E2F1-dependent manner.

    Abstract This research explored microwave treatment impact on the structuro-functional aspects of oxidized soy protein aggregates (OSPI). Data showed that oxidative treatment promoted the formation of high molecular weight aggregates through hydrophobic interactions, thereby disrupting the structure of natural soy protein isolates (SPI). Microwave treatment for an appropriate time (≤30 s) caused the molecular structure of OSPI to open up and reduction in molecular weight and disulfide bond content, while absolute zeta potential increased. These modifications increased emulsifying capacity of OSPI, as well as the interfacial adsorption of protein. Longer microwave treatment times (>30 s) caused OSPI to exhibit a tendency to aggregate in TEM and CLSM images. It indicated the appropriate microwave electromagnetic field effect and microwave heating effect could coordinatively regulate soy protein functional properties by modifying their aggregation behavior. The results provided new ideas for reducing resource waste, and further expanding soy protein application in the food industry.

    Abstract Background: Nutrient limitations often lead to metabolic stress during cancer initiation and progression. To combat this stress, the enzyme heme oxygenase 1 (HMOX1, commonly known as HO-1) is thought to play a key role as an antioxidant. However, there is a discrepancy between the level of HO-1 mRNA and its protein, particularly in cells under stress. O-linked β-N-acetylglucosamine (O-GlcNAc) modification of proteins (O-GlcNAcylation) is a recently discovered cellular signaling mechanism that rivals phosphorylation in many proteins, including eukaryote translation initiation factors (eIFs). The mechanism by which eIF2α O-GlcNAcylation regulates translation of HO-1 during extracellular arginine shortage (ArgS) remains unclear.
    Methods: We used mass spectrometry to study the relationship between O-GlcNAcylation and Arg availability in breast cancer BT-549 cells. We validated eIF2α O-GlcNAcylation through site-specific mutagenesis and azido sugar N-azidoacetylglucosamine-tetraacylated labeling. We then evaluated the effect of eIF2α O-GlcNAcylation on cell recovery, migration, accumulation of reactive oxygen species (ROS), and metabolic labeling during protein synthesis under different Arg conditions.
    Results: Our research identified eIF2α, eIF2β, and eIF2γ, as key O-GlcNAcylation targets in the absence of Arg. We found that O-GlcNAcylation of eIF2α plays a crucial role in regulating antioxidant defense by suppressing the translation of the enzyme HO-1 during Arg limitation. Our study showed that O-GlcNAcylation of eIF2α at specific sites suppresses HO-1 translation despite high levels of HMOX1 transcription. We also found that eliminating eIF2α O-GlcNAcylation through site-specific mutagenesis improves cell recovery, migration, and reduces ROS accumulation by restoring HO-1 translation. However, the level of the metabolic stress effector ATF4 is not affected by eIF2α O-GlcNAcylation under these conditions.
    Conclusions: Overall, this study provides new insights into how ArgS fine-tunes the control of translation initiation and antioxidant defense through eIF2α O-GlcNAcylation, which has potential biological and clinical implications.

    Abstract The asymmetric distribution of lipids, maintained by flippases/floppases and scramblases, plays a pivotal role in various physiologic processes. Scramblases are proteins that move phospholipids between the leaflets of the lipid bilayer of the cellular membrane in an energy‐independent manner. Recent studies have indicated that viral infection is closely related to cellular lipid distribution. The level and distribution of phosphatidylserine (PtdSer) in cells have been demonstrated to be critical regulators of viral infections. Previous studies have supported that the infection of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), Zika virus, Ebola virus (EBOV), influenza virus, and dengue fever virus require the externalization of phospholipids mediated by scramblases, which are also involved in the pathogenicity of the pandemic severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS‐CoV‐2). In this review, we review the relationship of scramblases with viruses and the potential viral effector proteins that might utilize host scramblases.
