Meta-Path-Based Probabilistic Soft Logic for Drug–Target Interaction Predictions

Mathematics
Drug–target interaction (DTI) predictions, which aim to predict whether a drug will be bounded to a target, have received wide attention recently. The goal is to automate and accelerate the costly process of drug design.

Septin 9 PB domains coordinate centrosome positioning and microtubule acetylation to control epithelial polarity

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Septin 9 polybasic domains couple phosphoinositide‐rich membrane binding to centrosome positioning, Golgi organization, and microtubule acetylation to control epithelial polarity. Their loss disrupts this axis, causing centrosome mispositioning, Golgi fragmentation, reduced microtubule acetylation, and polarity inversion via upregulation of the ...

A review of deep learning methods for ligand based drug virtual screening

Fundamental Research
Drug discovery is costly and time consuming, and modern drug discovery endeavors are progressively reliant on computational methodologies, aiming to mitigate temporal and financial expenditures associated with the process.

Degradation mechanism of the von Willebrand factor A2 domain by nattokinase

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Nattokinase, a natto‐derived protease, exhibits potent antithrombotic effects. This study demonstrates that nattokinase directly cleaves the von Willebrand factor (vWF) A2 domain in vitro. Unlike the native regulator ADAMTS13, nattokinase degrades folded vWF independently of shear stress.

Novel network pharmacology methods for drug mechanism of action identification, pre-clinical drug screening and drug repositioning

, 2011
The high rates of failure in oncology drug clinical trials highlight the problems of using pre-clinical data to predict the clinical effects of drugs. Here we present two methodology innovations on network pharmacology modeling.

Transcriptional regulation and impact of ABC-transporters in intestinal cell lines [PDF]

, 2009
The intestine has an important role in facilitating and limiting absorption of drugs. Since the intestine forms a barrier to the external, epithelial cells have several properties to protect the body from microorganisms and toxins, and to control uptake ...

Exploring drug-target interaction networks of illicit drugs [PDF]

BMC Genomics, 2013
Drug addiction is a complex and chronic mental disease, which places a large burden on the American healthcare system due to its negative effects on patients and their families. Recently, network pharmacology is emerging as a promising approach to drug discovery by integrating network biology and polypharmacology, allowing for a deeper understanding of

The ubiquitin‐proteasome system and autophagy as guardians of the cellular proteome

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
This Perspective covers the three principles governing the crosstalk between the ubiquitin‐proteasome system and autophagy in cellular proteostasis: (1) a shared ubiquitin code routing substrates via shuttle factors or autophagy receptors; (2) spatial compartmentalization into phase‐separated degradation hubs and organelle‐specific modules (exemplified

Drug targeting of protein-nucleic acid interactions

Current Opinion in Structural Biology
Protein–nucleic acid interactions are vital to gene regulation and disease, yet have long been considered “undruggable.” Recent advances are reshaping this paradigm, enabling therapeutic targeting of DNA- and RNA-binding proteins. In this review, we highlight four major strategies: (1) direct disruption of protein-nucleic acid binding, (2 ...

Salmonella lipopolysaccharide‐containing supported lipid bilayers as platforms to study bacteriophage interactions

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
We present robust protocols for the preparation of supported lipid bilayers (SLBs) incorporating either Salmonella smooth LPS or outer membrane vesicles (OMVs). We use a combination of quartz crystal microbalance with dissipation (QCM‐D) and fluorescence microscopy to both characterize the SLBs of various compositions and to probe their interactions ...
