Abstract Protein therapeutics are in great demand due to their effectiveness towards hard-to-treat diseases. Despite their high demand, these bio-therapeutics are very susceptible to degradation via aggregation, fragmentation, oxidation, and reduction, all of which are very likely to affect the quality and efficacy of the product. Mechanisms and modelling of these degradation (aggregation and fragmentation) pathways is critical for gaining a deeper understanding of stability of these products. This review aims to provide a summary of major developments that have occurred towards unravelling the mechanisms of size-based protein degradation (particularly aggregation and fragmentation), modelling of these size-based degradation pathways, and their control. Major caveats that remain in our understanding and control of size-based protein degradation have also been presented and discussed.

Therapeutic protein are one of the prime option of biologicals as per their clinical uses. In recent times, uses of therapeutic protein increases day by day. Protein therapeutics are used extensively to treat various diseases like cancer, AIDS etc. Due to recent advancement in pharmaceutical biotechnology the interest towards therapeutic proteins are augmenting nowadays. Various clinical research are going on in this field to treat different diseases and pharmaceutical industries are also make interest on therapeutic proteins. Among the various treatment options therapeutic protein will provide highest chance of clinical success. Some recent clinical trials demonstrate that therapeutic protein may provide the safe and potential option to treat various diseases, but there are some drawbacks also like some immunogenic issues, safety, stability problem of protein, degradation of protein in various conditions.

The Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Spectral Measurement Database (NMR-SMDB) was developed for the purpose of organizing and searching NMR spectral data of protein therapeutics, linking spectra to corresponding sample information and enabling quick access to full datasets and entire studies. In addition to supporting internal research at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), the system could facilitate data access to stakeholders outside of NIST, and future versions of the database software itself could be installed by others for their own data storage and retrieval.

Regulation of liver macroautophagy and protein degradation by hormones and direct regulatory amino acids were studied in male 2-mo-old Sprague-Dawley albino rats with the use of the antilipolytic agent 3,5'-dimethylpyrazole (DMP; 12 mg/kg body wt ip) as a stimulatory agent. Injection of DMP decreased glutamine plasma levels and glutamine release from the perfused liver. Autophagic vacuoles were observed in the pericanalicular area of liver cells after 30 min. Levels and release of other regulatory amino acids did not exhibit any significant decrease but subsequently increased. Intraperitoneal administration of glutamine inhibited the proteolytic response. In conclusion, these studies demonstrate that in vivo induction and control of liver macroautophagy and protein degradation by the physiological mechanism (i.e., by shortage of nutrients) involve unbalanced and asynchronous changes in the levels of selected direct regulatory amino acids (i.e., a decrease in glutamine and a subsequent increase in leucine and tyrosine levels)

Abstract Protein degradation occurs through several distinct proteolytic pathways for membrane and cytosolic proteins. There is evidence that these processes are linked and that crosstalk among these major protein degradation pathways occurs. Ubiquilins, a family of ubiquitin-binding proteins, are involved in all protein degradation pathways. This minireview provides an overview of ubiquilin function in protein degradation and contrasts it with sequestosome-1 (p62), a protein that also has been implicated in multiple proteolytic pathways.
