ABSTRACTS
Development of a rapid and sensitive method for Aβ(1-42) aggregation detection is of great importance to overcome the limitations of conventional techniques. In this study, we developed a label-free paper-based electrochemiluminescence sensor for amyloid-β aggregation detection toward potential diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease (AD). The paper-based chip used in the system serves as a low-cost and disposable detection method. In this detection platform, the bonding of [Ru(phen)2dppz]2+ to Aβ(1-42) aggregates results in enhanced electrochemiluminescence due to the change in the polarity of the microenvironment when [Ru(phen)2dppz]2+intercalated into the β-sheets during oligomerization. The oligomerization process of Aβ(1-42) can be monitored in real time by the novel method, and as low as 100 pM equivalent monomer concentration of Aβ(1-42) could be detected simultaneously. In addition, the cerebrospinal fluid of transgenic AD model mice was tested by this method, which is highly consistent with genetic identification. In addition, we demonstrated that this detection platform could be a potential new method for the screening of Aβ(1-42) aggregation inhibitors, highlighting the practical application capacity of this platform. The platform is label free, low cost and sensitive. Therefore, the proposed platform holds great promise for the diagnosis of AD.

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...
