Food protein-derived bioactive peptides are recognized as valuable ingredients of functional
foods and/or nutraceuticals to promote health and reduce the risk of chronic diseases …

Oil bodies (OBs) are ubiquitous dynamic organelles found in plant seeds. They have
attracted increasing attention recently because of their important roles in plant physiology …

Although many eukaryotic proteins are amino (N)–terminally acetylated, structural
mechanisms by which N-terminal acetylation mediates protein interactions are largely …

Exosomes are 30–120 nm membrane bound vesicles secreted naturally by almost all cells
and exist in all body fluids. Accumulating evidence has shown that exosomes contain …

Protein synthesis is initiated by methionine in eukaryotes and by formylmethionine in
prokaryotes. N‐terminal methionine can be co‐translationally cleaved by the enzyme …

The Arg/N-end rule pathway targets for degradation proteins that bear specific unacetylated
N-terminal residues while the Ac/N-end rule pathway targets proteins through their N α …

The N-end rule defines the protein-destabilizing activity of a given amino-terminal residue
and its post-translational modification. Since its discovery 25 years ago, the pathway …

The N-end rule pathway of targeted proteolysis, which relates the stability of a protein to the
nature of its N-terminus, has emerged as a key regulator of diverse processes in eukaryotes …

Rgs2, a regulator of G proteins, lowers blood pressure by decreasing signaling through Gαq.
Human patients expressing Met-Leu-Rgs2 (ML-Rgs2) or Met-Arg-Rgs2 (MR-Rgs2) are …

The conformational properties of soluble α‐synuclein, the primary protein found in patients
with Parkinson's disease, are thought to play a key role in the structural transition to amyloid …
