Abstract
Many reports have shown that stabilization of secondary structure by stapling functional peptides enhances the intracellular bioactivity. However, no report has discussed the correlation between stabilization and biological activity based on the configuration of amino acid residues used as anchors for stapling. To clarify this, we investigated the helix content and apoptotic efficiency of an apoptosis-inducing peptide, Bim, and four stapled Bim peptides containing stapling-related Cys residues introduced with different configurations within the sequence. The results demonstrated that the configuration of Cys residues in stapled Bim peptides affected the secondary structure and intracellular activity of the peptides, and furthermore, there was a correlation between these latter two variables.

Abstract
Glucagon stands out as a pivotal peptide hormone, instrumental in controlling blood glucose levels and lipid metabolism. While the formation of glucagon amyloid fibrils has been documented, their biological functions remain enigmatic. Recently, we demonstrated experimentally that glucagon amyloid fibrils can act as catalysts in several biological reactions including esterolysis, lipid hydrolysis, and dephosphorylation. Herein, we present a multiscale quantum mechanics/molecular mechanics (QM/MM) simulation of the acylation step in the esterolysis of para-nitrophenyl acetate (p-NPA), catalyzed by native glucagon amyloid fibrils, serving as a model system to elucidate their catalytic function. This step entails a concerted mechanism, involving proton transfer from serine to histidine, followed by the nucleophilic attack of the serine oxy anion on the carbonyl carbon of p-NPA. We computed the binding energy and free-energy profiles of this reaction using the protein-dipole Langevin-dipole (PDLD) within the linear response approximation (LRA) framework (PDLD/S-LRA-2000) and the empirical valence bond (EVB) methods. This included simulations of the reaction in an aqueous environment and in the fibril, enabling us to estimate the catalytic effect of the fibril. Our EVB calculations obtained a barrier of 23.4 kcal mol-1 for the enzyme-catalyzed reaction compared to the experimental value of 21.9 kcal mol-1 (and a calculated catalytic effect of 3.2 kcal mol-1 compared to the observed effect of 4.7 kcal mol-1). This close agreement together with the barrier reduction when transitioning from the reference solution reaction to the amyloid fibril provides supporting evidence to the catalytic role of glucagon amyloid fibrils. Moreover, employing the PDLD/S-LRA-2000 approach further reinforced exclusively the enzyme's catalytic role. The results presented in this study contribute significantly to our understanding of the catalytic role of glucagon amyloid fibrils, marking, to the best of our knowledge, the first-principles mechanistic investigation of fibrils using QM/MM methods. Therefore, our findings offer fruitful insights for future research into the mechanisms of related amyloid catalysis.

Abstract
CONTEXT BIM (Bcl-2 interacting mediator of apoptosis)-derived peptides that specifically target over-expressed Mcl-1 (myeloid cell leukemia-1) protein and induce apoptosis are potentially anti-cancer agents. Since the helicity of BIM-derived peptides has a crucial role in their functionality, a range of strategies have been used to increase the helicity including the introduction of unnatural residues and stapling methods that have some drawbacks such as the accumulation in the liver. To avoid these drawbacks, this study aimed to design a more helical peptide by utilizing bioinformatics algorithms and molecular dynamics simulations without exploiting unnatural residues and stapling methods. MM-PBSA results showed that the mutations of A4fE and A2eE in analogue 5 demonstrate a preference towards binding with Mcl-1. As evidenced by Circular dichroism results, the helicity increases from 18 to 34%, these findings could enhance the potential of analogue 5 as an anti-cancer agent targeting Mcl-1. The applied strategies in this research could shed light on the in silico peptide design. Moreover, analogue 5 as a drug candidate can be evaluated in vitro and in vivo studies. METHODS The sequence of the lead peptide was determined using the ApInAPDB database and PRALINE program. Contact finder and PDBsum web server softwares were used to determine the contact involved amino acids in complex with Mcl-1. All identified salt bridge contributing residues were unaltered to preserve the binding affinity. After proposing novel analogues, their secondary structures were predicted by Cham finder web server software and GOR, Neural Network, and Chou-Fasman algorithms. Finally, molecular dynamics simulations run for 100 ns were done using the GROMACS, version 5.0.7, with the CHARMM36 force field. MM-PBSA was used to assess binding affinity specificity in targeting Mcl-1 and Bcl-xL (B-cell lymphoma extra-large).

Abstract
Sarcopenia is known as age-related muscle atrophy, which influences over a quarter of the elderly population worldwide. It is characterized by a progressive decline in muscle mass, strength, and performance. To date, clinical treatments in sarcopenia are limited to rehabilitative interventions and dietary supplements. Tetrahedral framework nucleic acids (tFNAs) represent a novel kind of DNA-based nanomaterial with superior antiapoptosis capacity in cells, tissues, organs, and systems. In our study, the therapeutic effect of tFNAs treatment on sarcopenia was evaluated both in vivo and in vitro. Results from muscular biophysiological characteristics demonstrated significant improvement in muscle function and endurance in the aged mouse model, and histologic examinations also showed beneficial morphological changes in muscle fibers. In vitro, DEX-induced sarcopenic myotube atrophy was also ameliorated through the inhibition of mitochondria-mediated cell apoptosis. Collectively, tFNAs treatment might serve as an alternative option to deal with sarcopenia in the near future.

Abstract
Caspases, a family of cysteine proteases is a renowned regulator of apoptosis. Members of this family are responsible for the proteolytic dismantling of numerous cellular structures. Apart from apoptosis, caspases remarkably contribute to a diverse range of molecular processes. Being the imperative members of several cellular cascades their abnormal activation/deactivation has severe implications and also leads to various diseased conditions. Similar aberrant activation of caspases is one of the several causes of neuropathologies associated with Alzheimer's disease (AD), a form of dementia severely affecting neuropsychiatric and cognitive functions. Emerging studies are providing deeper insights into the mechanisms of caspase action in the progression of AD. Current article is an attempt to review these studies and present the action mechanisms of different mammalian caspases in the advancement of AD associated neuropathologies.

Abstract
Glucagon is a prominent peptide hormone, playing central roles in the regulation of glucose blood-level and lipid metabolism. Formation of glucagon amyloid fibrils has been previously reported, although no biological functions of such fibrils are known. Here, we demonstrate that glucagon amyloid fibrils catalyze biologically important reactions, including esterolysis, lipid hydrolysis, and dephosphorylation. In particular, we found that glucagon fibrils catalyze dephosphorylation of adenosine triphosphate (ATP), a core metabolic reaction in cell biology. Comparative analysis of several glucagon variants allowed mapping the catalytic activity to an enzymatic pocket-like triad formed at the glucagon fibril surface, comprising the histidyl-serine domain at the N-terminus of the peptide. This study may point to previously unknown physiological roles and pathological consequences of glucagon fibrillation and supports the hypothesis that catalytic activities of native amyloid fibrils play functional roles in human physiology and disease.

Abstract
IPF is a progressive fibrotic lung disease whose pathogenesis remains incompletely understood. We have previously discovered pathologic mesenchymal progenitor cells (MPCs) in the lungs of IPF patients. IPF MPCs display a distinct transcriptome and create sustained interstitial fibrosis in immune deficient mice. However, the precise pathologic alterations responsible for this fibrotic phenotype remain to be uncovered. Quantitative mass spectrometry and interactomics is a powerful tool that can define protein alterations in specific subcellular compartments that can be implemented to understand disease pathogenesis. We employed quantitative mass spectrometry and interactomics to define protein alterations in the nuclear compartment of IPF MPCs compared to control MPCs. We identified increased nuclear levels of PARP1, CDK1, and BACH1. Interactomics implicated PARP1, CDK1, and BACH1 as key hub proteins in the DNA damage/repair, differentiation, and apoptosis signaling pathways respectively. Loss of function and inhibitor studies demonstrated important roles for PARP1 in DNA damage/repair, CDK1 in regulating IPF MPC stemness and self-renewal, and BACH1 in regulating IPF MPC viability. Our quantitative mass spectrometry studies combined with interactomic analysis uncovered key roles for nuclear PARP1, CDK1, and BACH1 in regulating IPF MPC fibrogenicity.

Abstract
Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) have been widely implicated in human diseases. Our aim was to explore the regulatory role of changes in the expression levels of PNKY and its linked signaling networks in mediating stress-induced choroidal neovascularization. PNKY expression levels were reduced in mice by laser and exposure of endothelial cell to hypoxic stress. PNKY silencing exacerbated the formation of CNV in a laser-induced CNV model and an ex vivo model, while overexpression inhibited CNV development. Silencing or overexpression of PNKY altered the viability, proliferation, migration, and tube-forming capacity of endothelial cells in vitro. Mechanistically, through the lncRNA–RNA binding protein–miRNA interaction analysis involving loss of function and gain-of-function experiments, we found that lncRNA PNKY inhibited the binding of miR124 to PTBP1 and maintained the homeostasis of choroidal vascular function by promoting Bcl-2 like protein 11 (BIM), and its dysfunction led to exacerbation of CNV lesion. Therefore, this study suggests that the lncPNKY/PTBP1–miR-124 axis is involved in regulating the development of CNV, providing a potential therapeutic target for the treatment of CNV.
