The TRPV1 receptor plays a significant role in many biological processes, such as perception of external temperature (above 43°C), inflammation development, and thermoregulation. Activation of TRPV1 leads to the pain occurrence and decrease in the body temperature, while inhibition of this receptor can lead to an increase in the temperature. The TRPV1 peptide modulators from sea anemone Heteractis crispa extract (APHC1 and APHC3) have been previously characterized as molecules, which generated a pronounced analgesic effect and a decrease in the body temperature in experimental animals. Using the combined APHC1 and APHC3 amino acid sequences, we have prepared a hybrid peptide molecule named A13 that contains all residues potentially important for the activity of the peptide precursors. Biological tests on animals have shown that the hybrid molecule not only combines the analgesic properties of both peptides but, unlike the peptide precursors, also raises the body temperature of experimental animals.

Erythropoietin Fc (EPO-Fc) fusion proteins are potential drug candidates that have been designed for the treatment of anemia in humans by stimulating erythrocyte production. Such compounds can be considered performance-enhancing agents that may be used by athletes in endurance sports. This study describes the primary structure of commercially available EPO-Fc based on comprehensive liquid chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry (LC–MS) analysis. A bottom-up approach and the intact molecular weight (MW) measurement of deglycosylated protein and its IdeS proteolytic fractions was used to determine the amino acid sequence of EPO-Fc. Using multiple proteases, peptides covering unknown fusion breakpoints (spacer peptides) were identified. We demonstrated that “spacer peptides” can be used in the determination of EPO-Fc fusion proteins in biological samples using common LC–tandem MS methods.
