The synthesized SeNPs, with MSP incorporated, were found to be 7207.053 nm in size, characterized by a red color, a spherical shape, and an amorphous nature, as the results show. MSP-SeNPs exhibited a strong scavenging activity against DPPH and ABTS free radical species. Human liver (HepG2) and cervical cancer (HeLa) cells in vitro showed a substantial decrease in proliferation upon exposure to MSP-SeNPs, while no significant cytotoxicity was observed in normal human kidney (HK-2) cells. Furthermore, the apoptosis pathway, reliant on mitochondria, triggered by MSP-SeNPs within HepG2 cells, was determined. In HepG2 cells, MSP-SeNP treatment induced an upregulation in the expression of p53, Bax, cytochrome c, caspase-3, and caspase-9, and a simultaneous downregulation of Bcl-2 expression. In cancer chemoprevention, MSP-SeNPs demonstrate strong potential as dietary supplements, as indicated by these findings. Intraflagellar transport (IFT) is responsible for the translocation of channelrhodopsins (ChRs). The network including photoreceptors, IFT, and other proteins associated with algal cilia motility is not yet definitively understood regarding its functional mechanisms. A key finding of this study is the identification of two important motifs, VXPX and LKNE, located at the C-terminal region of ChR1. VXPX, a known ciliary targeting sequence found in animals, stands in contrast to the well-established SUMOylation motif, LKNE. As far as we know, this study yields a preliminary view of the contribution of SUMOylation to the Chlamydomonas system. Evidence supports that the ChR1 VMPS is integral to the interaction process with the GTPase CrARL11. We demonstrate the presence of SUMO motifs in the C-terminal region of predicted ChR1 proteins from green algae. Ubiquitin signal Experiments using n-Ethylmaleimide (NEM) and Ubiquitin-like protease 1 (ULP-1) highlight the possibility of SUMOylation affecting the ChR1 protein's behavior, as observed in Chlamydomonas. Utilizing 2D08, a sumoylation inhibitor well-known for its effects, experiments demonstrated an increased concentration of ChR1 protein. We ultimately display the endogenous SUMOylated proteins of Chlamydomonas reinhardtii (the SUMOylome), identified via immunoprecipitation and subsequent nano-LC-MS/MS profiling. In this report, an association is established between evolutionarily conserved SUMOylation and ciliary machinery, underpinning the maintenance and function of cilia within the entirety of eukaryotes. In *Chlamydomonas reinhardtii*, the expanded SUMOylome comprises proteins connected to the development of cilia and photo-signaling pathways, along with their corresponding orthologs, which are involved in human ciliopathies and serve as SUMOylation targets. Environmental concerns have spurred a resurgence of interest in bio-based resources. This study proposes the development of a cellulose-based hydrogel adsorbent and the subsequent evaluation of its adsorption properties. Our approach involves a simple one-pot synthesis of cellulose acetate sulfate (CAS), followed by the formation of CAS hydrogels and their subsequent adsorption capacities. Intermolecular interactions within deionized water enable the formation of a single-component hydrogel from the CAS, featuring both hydrophilic and hydrophobic functional groups. Due to their thermal reversibility, CAS hydrogels are easily molded into a multitude of shapes. Incorporating divalent cations, exemplified by Ca2+, can bolster the durability of CAS hydrogel adsorbents, producing ionically crosslinked hydrogels. At 23°C and pH 7, the ionically crosslinked CAS hydrogel adsorbent achieves a maximum adsorption capacity of 245 mg/g for methylene blue (MB). Furthermore, the CAS hydrogel adsorbent's removal rate of 70% remains stable after five successive cycles. The straightforward processes of cellulose-based hydrogel synthesis and formation offer exciting possibilities for the production and applicatio
