Protective factors as biomarkers and targets for prevention and treatment of diabetic nephropathy: From current human evidence to future possibilities

open access: yesJournal of Diabetes Investigation, 2020
Although hyperglycemia, high blood pressure and aging increase the risk of developing kidney complications, some diabetes patients exposed to these risk factors do not develop kidney disease, suggesting the presence of endogenous protective factors ...

Combinatorial algorithm for counting small induced graphs and orbits

open access: yes, 2016
Graphlet analysis is an approach to network analysis that is particularly popular in bioinformatics. We show how to set up a system of linear equations that relate the orbit counts and can be used in an algorithm that is significantly faster than the ...

Transferrin receptor 1‐mediated iron uptake supports thermogenic activation in human cervical‐derived adipocytes

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
In this study, we found that human cervical‐derived adipocytes maintain intracellular iron level by regulating the expression of iron transport‐related proteins during adrenergic stimulation. Melanotransferrin is predicted to interact with transferrin receptor 1 based on in silico analysis.

RIBAP: a comprehensive bacterial core genome annotation pipeline for pangenome calculation beyond the species level

open access: yesGenome Biology
Microbial pangenome analysis identifies present or absent genes in prokaryotic genomes. However, current tools are limited when analyzing species with higher sequence diversity or higher taxonomic orders such as genera or families.

Loss-of-Imprinting of HM13 Leads to Poor Prognosis in Clear Cell Renal Cell Carcinoma

open access: yesBiomolecules
Genomic imprinting refers to the epigenetic silencing of one of both alleles in a parent-of-origin-specific manner, particularly in genes regulating growth and development.

Genome bioinformatic analysis of nonsynonymous SNPs [PDF]

open access: yesBMC Bioinformatics, 2007
Background: Genome-wide association studies of common diseases for common, low penetrance causal variants are underway. A proportion of these will alter protein sequences, the most common of which is the non-synonymous single nucleotide polymorphism (nsSNP).

Bioinformatic analysis of WxL domain proteins

open access: yesSaudi Journal of Biological Sciences, 2023
The WxL domain is found on the cell surface of many bacteria, most of which are commensal gut bacteria. Its functions are generally identified as being related to virulence and/or peptidoglycan attachment, but there is so far no clear function or structure for this domain.

A methionine‐lined active site governs carbocation stabilization and product specificity in a bacterial terpene synthase

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
This study reveals a unique active site enriched in methionine residues and demonstrates that these residues play a critical role by stabilizing carbocation intermediates through novel sulfur–cation interactions. Structure‐guided mutagenesis further revealed variants with significantly altered product profiles, enhancing pseudopterosin formation. These

Comprehensive survey of conserved RNA secondary structures in full-genome alignment of Hepatitis C virus

open access: yesScientific Reports
Hepatitis C virus (HCV) is a plus-stranded RNA virus that often chronically infects liver hepatocytes and causes liver cirrhosis and cancer. These viruses replicate their genomes employing error-prone replicases. Thereby, they routinely generate a large ‘

Structure and Hierarchy of Influenza Virus Models Revealed by Reaction Network Analysis

open access: yesViruses, 2019
Influenza A virus is recognized today as one of the most challenging viruses that threatens both human and animal health worldwide. Understanding the control mechanisms of influenza infection and dynamics is crucial and could result in effective future ...
