This study aims to elucidate mechanisms underlying VPA's effects in ASD by analyzing proteomic profiles and oxidant-antioxidant dynamics in zebrafish embryos, uncovering the cellular pathways driving these changes. Zebrafish embryos were exposed to two concentrations of VPA (10 μM and 25 μM) for 72 h post-fertilization (hpf), and LC-MS/MS analyses were performed. Differentially expressed proteins (DEPs) were subjected to bioinformatic analysis to identify associated cellular pathways, and their biological significance was evaluated. Oxidant-antioxidant parameters and locomotor activities were determined. High-dose induced more pronounced proteomic changes, while most of the identified proteins in both groups, including key metabolic enzymes such as adenylate kinase 1 (Ak1), adenosine monophosphate deaminase 1 (Ampd1), pyruvate kinase (Pkmb) and creatine kinase (Ck), exhibited a dose-dependent decrease. Functional enrichment analyses revealed that these alterations were primarily associated with purine metabolism, energy metabolism, and microtubule dynamics. In addition, malondialdehyde, nitric oxide, and glutathione S-transferase, increased in a dose-dependent manner, whereas superoxide dismutase decreased. Decreased average speed, distance swam, and explored areas were found in both VPA treated groups, reflecting early sensorimotor dysfunction. Our findings demonstrate that VPA induces dose-dependent proteomic alterations in zebrafish embryos, with metabolic pathways and cytoskeletal dynamics being particularly affected. Extent of molecular disruptions appears to correlate with VPA concentration, suggesting potential implications for energy homeostasis and cellular structure. Understanding these effects could provide valuable insights into the developmental toxicity mechanisms of VPA and its broader biological significance.</p>","PeriodicalId":8760,"journal":{"name":"Biochimica et biophysica acta.

The HBV X protein (HBx) promotes viral replication and disease progression by interacting with various host proteins. One of its functions involves binding to microtubule-associated protein 1 light chain 3B (LC3B), which mediates selective autophagy and facilitates the removal of the immune-related protein TNFRSF10B (tumor necrosis factor receptor superfamily 10B). However, even the mechanism by which HBx interacts with LC3B remained unclear. In this study, we focused on the HBx-LC3B interaction as a first step and identified a conserved LC3-interacting region motif (Trp120-X-X-Leu123) within the Bcl-2 homology 3 (BH3)-like domain of HBx that directly binds to LC3B. This interaction was characterized using isothermal titration calorimetry and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy. We present the first NMR structure of LC3B in complex with the HBx BH3-like peptide, revealing that it adopts an extended conformation upon binding and that Trp120 and Leu 123 are essential for LC3B recognition. Notably, the same portion forms an α-helix when binding to B-cell lymphoma 2 (Bcl-2) and B-cell lymphoma extra-large (Bcl-x<sub>L</sub>), suggesting that HBx uses different conformations to interact with distinct targets.
