Prediction of Carbohydrate-Binding Proteins from Sequences Using Support Vector Machines [PDF]
Advances in Bioinformatics, 2010 Carbohydrate-binding proteins are proteins that can interact with sugar chains but do not modify them. They are involved in many physiological functions, and we have developed a method for predicting them from their amino acid sequences. Our method is based on support vector machines (SVMs).

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.Fervidibacter sacchari is a member of the bacterial phylum Armatimonadota, only a few of which have been cultivated. It is a hyperthermophilic polysaccharide degradation specialist. We show that a secreted enzyme, Fsa02490Xyn, is an endoxylanase belonging to glycoside hydrolase family 10.

Matrix: a complex amalgam of structures and functions in tumor microenvironment
FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.The matrix is a dynamic, intricate three‐dimensional mesh of biomolecules with both structural and functional properties. This review deals with the complexity of this ‘molecular amalgam’ in the tumor microenvironment and highlights its importance in the maintenance and evolution of tumors by describing certain matrix biomolecules, such as ...

Frog foams and natural protein surfactants [PDF]
, 2017 Foams and surfactants are relatively rare in biology because of their potential to harm cell membranes and other delicate tissues. However, in recent work we have identified and characterized a number of natural surfactant proteins found in the foam ...

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.We report that some menthol‐like cooling compounds, including (R)‐(‐)‐carvone, act as inhibitors of TAS2R31 and TAS2R43, which are taste receptors responsible for the intrinsic bitter aftertastes of saccharin and acesulfame K. However, there was little correlation between the intensity of the cooling sensation and the potency of bitterness inhibition ...

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.Under environmental changes, the expression level of neuropeptide (NP) and neuropeptide receptor (NPR) genes changes to confer context‐dependent adaptation to the model organism Drosophila melanogaster. Through finding more regulatory elements in the NPR genes in comparison with their ligands (NPs), we found that NPR‐biased transcriptional regulation ...

Transcriptome analyses reveal reduced hepatic lipid synthesis and accumulation in more feed efficient beef cattle [PDF]
, 2018 peer-reviewedThe genetic mechanisms controlling residual feed intake (RFI) in beef cattle are still largely unknown. Here we performed whole transcriptome analyses to identify differentially expressed (DE) genes and their functional roles in liver ...
