Identification of telomere-related diagnostic markers in osteoarthritis based on bioinformatics analysis and machine learning

Article

Author: Xu, Sheng ; Ye, Jia ; Cai, Xiaochong

Osteoarthritis (OA) is one of the most prevalent joint disorders, with aging considered a primary, irreversible factor contributing to its progression. Telomere-related cellular senescence may be a crucial factor influencing the OA process, yet biomarkers for OA based on telomere-related genes have not been clearly identified. The datasets GSE51588, GSE12021, and GSE55457 were retrieved from the Gene Expression Omnibus database. Initially, R software was utilized to identify differentially expressed genes between OA and normal samples. Subsequently, differentially expressed telomere-related genes (DETMRGs) were obtained, and their functional enrichment was analyzed. Feature genes for OA diagnosis were selected from DETMRGs using a combination of least absolute shrinkage and selection operator, support vector machine-recursive feature elimination, and Random Forest algorithms. The diagnostic value of these feature genes was then validated through receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves and decision curve analysis. Additionally, CIBERSORT and xCell were employed to assess the infiltration of immune cells in OA tissues. Finally, potential drugs targeting candidate genes were predicted. Three telomere-related genes, PGD, SLC7A5, and TKT, have been identified as biomarkers for OA diagnosis and were confirmed through ROC diagnostic tests. The immune infiltration of mast cells, neutrophils, common lymphoid precursors, and eosinophils associated with PGD, SLC7A5, and TKT was reduced. Recognizing telomere-related genes PGD, SLC7A5, and TKT as potential diagnostic biomarkers for OA is significant, as it offers valuable insights into the role of telomere-related genes in OA. This discovery also provides valuable information for the diagnosis and treatment of OA.

Systematic identification of allosteric effectors in Escherichia coli metabolism

Article

Author: Noor, Elad ; Sauer, Uwe ; Gruber, Christoph Heinrich ; Buffing, Marieke Francisca

Recent physical binding screens suggest that protein–metabolite interactions are more extensive than previously recognized. To elucidate the functional relevance of these interactions, we developed a mass spectrometry–based screening method for higher throughput in vitro enzyme assays. By systematically quantifying the effects of 79 metabolites on the activity of 20 central Escherichia coli enzymes, we not only assess functional relevance but also gauge the depth of the current understanding of regulatory interactions within one of the best-characterized networks. Our identification of 50 inhibitors and 14 activators not only expands the range of known input signals but also uncovers novel regulatory logic. For instance, we observed that AMP inhibits malic enzyme to safeguard the cyclic operation of the tricarboxylic acid cycle, and erythrose-4-phosphate inhibits 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase to redirect flux from the pentose phosphate pathway into the Entner–Doudoroff pathway. Discrepancies between our standardized assays and existing database entries suggest that many previously reported interactions might occur only under specific, often nonphysiological conditions. Our dataset represents a systematically determined functional protein–metabolite interaction network, establishing a baseline for allosteric regulation in central metabolism. These results enhance our understanding of the regulatory logic governing metabolic processes and underscore its significance in cellular adaptation and growth.

Redox proteomics reveal a role for peroxiredoxinylation in stress protection

Article

Author: Nakic, Zrinka Raguz ; Borràs, Eva ; Sabidó, Eduard ; Posas, Francesc ; Sauer, Uwe ; de Nadal, Eulalia ; Seisenbacher, Gerhard

The redox state of proteins is essential for their function and guarantees cell fitness. Peroxiredoxins protect cells against oxidative stress, maintain redox homeostasis, act as chaperones, and transmit hydrogen peroxide signals to redox regulators. Despite the profound structural and functional knowledge of peroxiredoxins action, information on how the different functions are concerted is still scarce. Using global proteomic analyses, we show here that the yeast peroxiredoxin Tsa1 interacts with many proteins of essential biological processes, including protein turnover and carbohydrate metabolism. Several of these interactions are of a covalent nature, and we show that failure of peroxiredoxinylation of Gnd1 affects its phosphogluconate dehydrogenase activity and impairs recovery upon stress. Thioredoxins directly remove TSA1-formed mixed disulfide intermediates, thus expanding the role of the thioredoxin-peroxiredoxin redox cycle pair to buffer the redox state of proteins.
