An Unfolding Story: AlphaFold's View on Protein Flexibility
Helvetica Chimica Acta, Volume 109, Issue 5, May 2026.AlphaFold confidence measures allow for detailed proteome‐wide characterization of protein flexibility. All flexibility measures increased substantially in the evolutionary transition from prokaryota to eukaryota. ABSTRACT The AlphaFold confidence measures are related to conformation distribution of the protein.

Protein Science, Volume 35, Issue 5, May 2026.Abstract Intrinsically disordered regions (IDRs) play important molecular roles in cells even though they do not adopt a stable structure. Relative to structured regions, IDRs have skewed amino acid compositions favoring polar and charged amino acids. This feature is a major contributor to the biophysical behavior and in vivo activity of IDRs, but the ...

The FEBS Journal, Volume 293, Issue 9, Page 2772-2793, May 2026.The Xanthomonas citri Hanks‐type kinase PknS autophosphorylates and directly phosphorylates the alternative sigma factor EcfK at five residues. Besides the conserved residue T51 in the σ2 domain, phosphorylation of a residue in the linker between σ2 and σ4 is critical for EcfK activation by promoting its interaction with a positively charged pocket in ...

Journal of Eukaryotic Microbiology, Volume 73, Issue 3, May/June 2026.ABSTRACT Soil recovery after contamination relies on the surviving microbiota to reconstruct microbial food webs. The ciliate Colpoda aspera and Brevundimonas sp., Rhizobium sp1, Rhizobium sp2 (gram‐negative), Bacillus sp1, Bacillus sp2, and Microbacterium sp.(gram‐positive) remain active after pulses of light petroleum contamination.

Identification and phylogenetic analysis of
BMC Genomics, 2003 Background Kinesins constitute a large superfamily of motor proteins in eukaryotic cells. They perform diverse tasks such as vesicle and organelle transport and chromosomal segregation in a microtubule- and ATP-dependent manner.

PLoS Genetics, 2009 Organisms like Dictyostelium discoideum, often referred to as DNA damage "extremophiles", can survive exposure to extremely high doses of radiation and DNA crosslinking agents. These agents form highly toxic DNA crosslinks that cause extensive DNA damage.

BMC Microbiology, 2006 Background Development of the post-genomic age in Dictyostelium will require the existence of rapid and reliable methods to disrupt genes that would allow the analysis of entire gene families and perhaps the possibility to undertake the complete knock ...
