To explore chromosome 14-associated transcriptional patterns in FAD across anatomically distinct brain regions, publicly available RNA sequencing (RNA-Seq) datasets from frontal cortex, temporal cortex, and whole-brain samples were analyzed. Because one FAD sample and one control sample were available for each brain region, expression differences were evaluated descriptively using observed log₂ fold-change values rather than conventional inferential differential-expression statistics. Functional annotation and protein-protein interaction analyses were subsequently used to provide biological context for the observed expression patterns. Distinct regional expression patterns were observed within the chromosome 14-focused dataset. Higher expression was observed for representative genes including FITM1, IFI27, AHSA1, and NFKBIA in the frontal cortex, and DHRS4L2, ESR2, GPR65, EFCAB11, and HOMEZ in the temporal cortex. The observed expression patterns were associated with inflammatory, cellular stress, metabolic, receptor-mediated, proteostatic, and neuronal signaling-related functions. Network analysis was used to contextualize these expression patterns rather than to infer causal regulatory relationships. Five representative proteins-NFKBIA, ESR2, GPR65, AHSA1, and IFI27-were further examined structural information to provide structural context for selected transcriptomic observations. Given the absence of biological replication and the chromosome 14-focused design, these findings should be considered descriptive and hypothesis-generating.

Specific residues mediate this process, including basic (Lys23, Arg33, Arg36, Lys49), structural (Cys26, Cys30), and aromatic (Phe29) amino acids. To investigate the functional and immunogenic implications of modifying these residues, we designed two recombinant variants of a consensus LNTx. The first variant, rLcNTx V1, contains charge-reversal mutations at four key basic positions, while the second, rLcNTx V2, lacks the segment corresponding to the fifth disulfide bond. We expressed both variants in Escherichia coli Origami cells. rLcNTx V1 was recovered in a soluble form, but rLcNTx V2 was present only in inclusion bodies. We assessed the binding affinity of both proteins to muscle and neuronal nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs) and observed no channel blockade for either variant, as expected. While this lack of activity in rLcNTx V2 points to the structural importance of the fifth disulfide region, it also suggests that its deletion disrupts the structure of the tip of loop II. Immunizing rabbits with these proteins elicited antibodies capable of recognizing α-bungarotoxin and various elapid venoms, but they failed to neutralize venom toxicity in vivo. These results emphasize that preserving the native electrostatic and conformational integrity of the basic core is essential for maintaining neutralizing epitopes in LNTxs.</p>","PeriodicalId":8760,"journal":{"name":"Biochimica et biophysica acta.

In this study, we developed a method for preparing the <em>LINE-1</em> proteins ORF1p-L1 and the reverse transcriptase (RT) domain of ORF2p-L1 and demonstrated their potential application as antigens in gastric cancer diagnostics. Both antigens were expressed as insoluble inclusion bodies in a bacterial expression system (<em>E. coli BL21 (DE3) pLysS)</em> using laboratory-scale fermentation.

At decreasing concentrations of the chaotropic agent, ORF1p-L1 and the RT domain of ORF2p-L1 were found to weakly bind to cation-exchange resins or to aggregate, whereas irreversible protein binding occurred under acidic conditions. The biological activity of the refolded ORF1p-L1 was confirmed by assessing its hybridization activity, while the reverse transcriptase activity of the RT domain of ORF2p-L1 was also successfully confirmed.

Kinetic analyses reveal a two-step pathway: an initial rapid formation of amorphous aggregates detected by light scattering, followed by their slower structural reorganization into β-sheet-rich spherical oligomers monitored by thioflavin T binding. Biophysical characterization using circular dichroism, dynamic light scattering (DLS), electron microscopy, tinctorial assays and mathematical modeling of the kinetics confirmed the role of amorphous aggregates as an intermediate state in oligomer formation.
