Somatic mutational landscape in von Hippel–Lindau familial hemangioblastoma
Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.The causes of central nervous system (CNS) hemangioblastoma in Von Hippel–Lindau (vHL) disease are unclear. We used Whole Exome Sequencing (WES) on familial hemangioblastoma to investigate events that underlie tumor development. Our findings suggest that VHL loss creates a permissive environment for tumor formation, while additional alterations ...

Mechanism of Virus Attenuation by Codon Pair Deoptimization
Cell Reports, 2020 Summary: Codon pair deoptimization is an efficient virus attenuation strategy, but the mechanism that leads to attenuation is unknown. The strategy involves synthetic recoding of viral genomes that alters the positions of synonymous codons, thereby ...

Codon usage bias amongst plant viruses
Archives of Virology, 2003 An internet database (DPVweb) was established containing details of all sequences of viruses, viroids and satellites of plants that are complete or that contain at least one complete gene (n>4600). The start and end positions of each feature (genes, non-translated regions etc) were recorded and checked for accuracy.

Rapid screening of staphylokinase protein variants using an unpurified cell‐free expression system
FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.An unpurified cell‐free protein synthesis (CFPS) platform enables rapid functional screening of staphylokinase variants. Direct plasminogen‐activation assays performed in microplate format provide real‐time activity readouts, allowing rapid identification and ranking of variants with improved or reduced fibrinolytic activity without protein ...

Synonymous codon usage in TTSuV2: analysis and comparison with TTSuV1. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 Two species of the DNA virus Torque teno sus virus (TTSuV), TTSuV1 and TTSuV2, have become widely distributed in pig-farming countries in recent years.

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Objective Super‐Refractory Status Epilepticus (SRSE) is a rare, life‐threatening neurological emergency with unclear etiology in many cases. Mitochondrial dysfunction, often due to disease‐causing genetic variants, is increasingly recognized as a cause, with each gene producing distinct pathophysiological mechanisms.

Comprehensive Analysis of Codon Usage Bias in Seven Epichloë Species and Their Peramine-Coding Genes
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2017 Codon usage bias plays an important role in shaping genomes and genes in unicellular species and multicellular species. Here, we first analyzed codon usage bias in seven Epichloë species and their peramine-coding genes.

Nucleotide bias of DCL and AGO in plant anti-virus gene silencing [PDF]
, 2010 Plant Dicer-like (DCL) and Argonaute (AGO) are the key enzymes involved in anti-virus post-transcriptional gene silencing (AV-PTGS). Here we show that AV-PTGS exhibited nucleotide preference by calculating a relative AV-PTGS efficiency on processing ...

Codon bias and plasticity in immunoglobulins [PDF]
Molecular Biology and Evolution, 1997 Immunoglobulin genes experience Darwinian evolution twice. In addition to the germline evolution all genes experience, immunoglobulins are subjected, upon exposure to antigen, to somatic hypermutation. This is accompanied by selection for high affinity to the eliciting antigen and frequently results in a significant increase in the specificity of the ...
