Abstract:
Evidence for the biosynthetic pathways of the specialized pro-resolving mediator (SPM) protectin D1 (PD1) and its biochemical further local metabolism were presented during the 8th European Workshop on Lipid Mediators, organized June 29th-July 1st, 2022, in Stockholm, Sweden. Herein, we provide an extended and detailed discussion of these topics. PD1, one of 43 SPMs reported so far, exhibits very potent pro-resolution and anti-inflammatory bioactions. Many research groups worldwide have confirmed these and other interesting bioactions. The protectins constitute, together with the lipoxins, resolvins, and maresins, the four individual SPM families, which have received a great interest in basic biomedical research and drug discovery efforts.

The Proteasome
In this pathway, the target proteins are first tagged with small proteins called ubiquitin. A series of enzymes carry out the ubiquitination of the target proteins - E1 (ubiquitin-activating enzyme), E2 (ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme), and E3...
