pLM-Repeat: Exploiting the sequence representations of protein language models for sensitive repeat detection. [PDF]
Abstract Duplication is an essential mechanism of molecular evolution, which operates across biological scales, from whole genomes to single basepairs. Its study is central to understanding protein evolution, but the detection of duplication events often becomes challenging over evolutionary time, due to the accumulating sequence divergence.

Functions of J-domain proteins in mitochondrial protein biogenesis. [PDF]
Abstract Mitochondrial biogenesis and functions depend on the import and assembly of more than 1000 proteins that are made as precursors on cytosolic ribosomes. The majority of these precursor proteins are transported from the ribosome to the translocase of the outer membrane (TOM complex), which constitutes the main entry site for mitochondrial ...

Exploring the roles of ZmARM gene family in maize development and abiotic stress response [PDF]
Armadillo (ARM) was a gene family important to plants, with crucial roles in regulating plant growth, development, and stress responses. However, the properties and functions of ARM family members in maize had received limited attention.

ARMC Subfamily: Structures, Functions, Evolutions, Interactions, and Diseases
Armadillo repeat-containing proteins (ARMCs) are widely distributed in eukaryotes and have important influences on cell adhesion, signal transduction, mitochondrial function regulation, tumorigenesis, and other processes.

Defining components of the ß-catenin destruction complex and exploring its regulation and mechanisms of action during development. [PDF]
A subset of signaling pathways play exceptionally important roles in embryonic and post-embryonic development, and mis-regulation of these pathways occurs in most human cancers. One such pathway is the Wnt pathway.

An armadillo-domain protein participates in a telomerase interaction network [PDF]
Arabidopsis and human ARM protein interact with telomerase. Deregulated mRNA levels of DNA repair and ribosomal protein genes in an Arabidopsis arm mutant suggest non-telomeric ARM function. The human homolog ARMC6 interacts with hTRF2. Telomerase maintains telomeres and has proposed non-telomeric functions.

Structures of designed armadillo repeat proteins binding to peptides fused to globular domains [PDF]
AbstractDesigned armadillo repeat proteins (dArmRP) are α‐helical solenoid repeat proteins with an extended peptide binding groove that were engineered to develop a generic modular technology for peptide recognition. In this context, the term “peptide” not only denotes a short unstructured chain of amino acids, but also an unstructured region of a ...

Epsin 1 Undergoes Nucleocytosolic Shuttling and Its Eps15 Interactor Nh2-Terminal Homology (Enth) Domain, Structurally Similar to Armadillo and Heat Repeats, Interacts with the Transcription Factor Promyelocytic Leukemia Zn2+ Finger Protein (Plzf) [PDF]
Epsin (Eps15 interactor) is a cytosolic protein involved in clathrin-mediated endocytosis via its direct interactions with clathrin, the clathrin adaptor AP-2, and Eps15. The NH2-terminal portion of epsin contains a phylogenetically conserved module of unknown function, known as the ENTH domain (epsin NH2-terminal homology domain).
