ABSTRACTS
We reported a general way to design electrochemical biosensors with peptide probes as the receptors of targets and the inducers of gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) assembly on electrode surface. To demonstrate the feasibility of our strategy, human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) was first determined as a model analyte. Specifically, the hCG-binding peptide triggered the aggregation of AuNPs in solution; by modifying the electrode with the hCG-binding peptide, the peptide-induced AuNPs assembly was achieved on the electrode surface, resulting in the formation of a network of AuNPs and a significant fall of charge transfer resistance. The attachment of hCG onto the electrode surface through the probe-target interaction made the peptide lose its ability to trigger the formation of the AuNPs-based network architecture on electrode surface, thus leading to an increased charge transfer resistance. The electrochemical impedance technique allowed for the determination of hCG with a detection limit 0.6 mIU/mL. Furthermore, the method was used to the selective detection of amyloid-β oligomer (AβO, a reliable molecular biomarker and crucial target for the diagnosis and therapeutic intervention of Alzheimer's disease). Our result indicated that the AuNPs-based colorimetric assay can be developed into a corresponding electrochemical assay with significantly improving sensitivity and selectivity. Taking advantage of the simple principle and the unique physical and chemical properties of AuNPs, our work would be valuable for the design of novel electrochemical biosensors by marrying specific receptors.

The Catalytically Inactive Mutation of the Ubiquitin-Conjugating Enzyme CDC34 Affects its Stability and Cell Proliferation

Author：Xun Liu, Yang Zhang, Zhanhong Hu, Qian Li, Lu Yang,  Guoqiang Xu     《The Protein Journal》 ABSTRACTS The ubiquitin proteasome system (UPS) plays important roles in the regulation of protein stability, localization, and activity. A myriad of studies have focused on the functions of ubiquitin ligases E3s and deubiquitinating enzymes DUBs due to their specificity in the recognition of downstream substrates. However, the roles of the most ubiquitin-conjugating enzymes E2s are not completely understood except that they transport the activated ubiquitin and form E2–E3 protein complexes. Ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme CDC34 can promote the degradation of downstream targets through the UPS whereas its non-catalytic functions are still elusive. Here, we find that mutation of the catalytically active cysteine to serine (C93S) results in the reduced ubiquitination, increased stability, and attenuated degradation rate of CDC34. Through semi-quantitative proteom...

Identification and Inhibitory Mechanism of Angiotensin I-Converting Enzyme Inhibitory Peptides Derived from Bovine Hemoglobin

Author：Ying Wang, Yiqun Jiang, Yongguang Yin, Jiyun Liu,  Long Ding, Jingbo Liu, Ting Zhang     《The Protein Journal》 ABSTRACTS Angiotensin I-converting enzyme (ACE, EC.3.4.15.1) inhibitory peptide is an efficacious therapy for hypertension. In this study, four dipeptides, TY, FD, FL and FG, were identified from the desalted fraction of bovine hemoglobin hydrolysate, obtained by in vitro simulated gastrointestinal digestion, via liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS). The IC 50   value of TY and FL are 96.43?±?6.17 and 290.66?±?57.92  μM, respectively. The result of molecular docking indicated that TY occupied the ACE subsite S1 and S1′ with a lowest estimated binding energy of ?9.96  Kcal/mol, while FL occupied the subsite S5 with a lowest estimated binding energy of ?9.37  Kcal/mol. The subsite S1′ and S2′ are closer to the ACE active center (Zn 2+ ) than S5, and the lowest estimated binding energy of TY is lower ...

Preparation of an antimicrobial surface by direct assembly of antimicrobial peptide with its surface binding activity

Author：Junjian Chen, Yuchen Zhu, Yancheng Song, Lin Wang,  Jiezhao Zhan, Jingcai He, Jian Zheng, Chunting Zhong, Xuetao Shi, Sa Liu, Li Ren and Yingjun Wang     《Journal of Materials Chemistry B》 ABSTRACTS Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are a broad prospect for clinical application against bacterial infections of biomaterials. However, a bottleneck exists as there is a lack of simple technology to prepare AMPs on biomaterials with sufficient activity, as the activity of AMP is dependent on the correct orientation on the biomaterial. In the present study, based on the conventional AMP (Tet213: KRWWKWWRRC) and surface binding peptide (SKHKGGKHKGGKHKG), we designed an Anchor-AMP that could be directly assembled onto the surface of the biomaterial and also showed excellent antimicrobial activity. By characterizing the surface using a quartz crystal microbalance with dissipation (QCM-D), contact angle, atom force microscopy (AFM) and X-ray photoelectron spectr...
