Improving dbNSFP [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
IMPROVING dbNSFP Mingyao Lu, B.S. Advisory Professor: Xiaoming Liu, Ph.D. The analysis and interpretation of DNA variation are very important for the Whole Exome studies (WES). Genome research has focused on single nucleotide variants (SNVs).

Dual‐Peptide Nanoplatform: Mesoporous Silica Nanoparticles Functionalized With a Cell‐Penetrating Peptide and Loaded With Rationally Designed Antimicrobial Peptides for Tuberculosis Therapy

open access: yesAdvanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Machine learning–guided engineering of a plectasin‐derived peptide yields DC05, a potent antimycobacterial candidate. Encapsulation into tuftsin‐functionalized mesoporous silica nanoparticles enhances intracellular delivery, stability, and activity against Mycobacterium tuberculosis while maintaining low cytotoxicity and minimal hemolysis. The combined

Model of the pathway of –1 frameshifting: Kinetics

open access: yesBiochemistry and Biophysics Reports, 2016
Programmed –1 translational frameshifting is a process where the translating ribosome shifts the reading frame, which is directed by at least two stimulatory elements in the mRNA—a slippery sequence and a downstream secondary structure.

Altered tRNA dynamics during translocation on slippery mRNA as determinant of spontaneous ribosome frameshifting

open access: yesNature Communications, 2022
Slippery sequences in mRNA can cause the ribosome to change its reading frame. Using smFRET, Poulis et al. show how reversible fluctuations of peptidyl-tRNA slow down translocation, alter ribosome dynamics, and favor spontaneous ribosome frameshifting.

Chapparvoviruses occur in at least three vertebrate classes and have a broad biogeographic distribution [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Chapparvoviruses are a highly divergent group of parvoviruses (family Parvoviridae) that have recently been identified via metagenomic sampling of animal faeces.

Marburg Virus Glycoprotein Is a Remarkable Virulent Factor Linked to Hemorrhagic Pathology: Evidence from Multimodal Experimental Systems

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
By integrating data from in vitro, ex vivo, and in vivo models, our research identifies the MARV glycoprotein as a remarkable hemorrhagic factor, filling a major gap in this important field. It also provides practical experimental tools for the basic research on viral pathogenesis and applied research aimed at antiviral intervention for hemorrhagic ...

Secondary structural ensembles of the SARS-CoV-2 RNA genome in infected cells

open access: yesNature Communications, 2022
Lan et al. report RNA structure ensembles across the entire SARSCoV-2 genome in infected human cells at single nucleotide resolution. They find alternative RNA conformations critical for promoting near-native frameshifting rates in ORF1ab.

Candidates in Astroviruses, Seadornaviruses, Cytorhabdoviruses and Coronaviruses for +1 frame overlapping genes accessed by leaky scanning [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Background Overlapping genes are common in RNA viruses where they serve as a mechanism to optimize the coding potential of compact genomes. However, annotation of overlapping genes can be difficult using conventional gene-finding software.

Conformable Microelectrode Arrays Integrated with a Scoop‐Shaped Slide‐Well for Dynamic Electrophysiological Profiling of Patient‐Derived Cardiac Organoids

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
A flexible, ultrathin multi‐channel microelectrode array (MEA) conformally integrated onto a curved slide‐well enables stable electrical interfacing with 3D cardiac organoids. The geometry‐guided self‐alignment allows simultaneous recording of extracellular field potentials and contractile motion from irregular, beating tissues.

Cell-specific regulation of gene expression using splicing-dependent frameshifting

open access: yesNature Communications, 2022
Precise and reliable gene delivery remains technically challenging. Here, the authors show that rationally designed frameshifting splicing can be used to express genes only in targeted cell types, with the potential to enhance the specificity AAV gene ...
