Gene functional neighbourhoods as predictors of gene function
, 2015 Roles of many genes in a typical genome are still unknown or only partially explored. Experiments that determine the gene function are expensive and time-consuming, necessitating development of novel computational methods to predict gene functions by using machine learning and knowledge discovery techniques.

A Novel Function for the rTS gene [PDF]
Cancer Biology & Therapy, 2003 The rTS gene codes for a naturally occurring antisense RNA to thymidylate synthase (TS) mRNA and two proteins (rTSalpha and rTSbeta). The role of the major protein product of rTS, rTSbeta has been linked to alterations in TS protein expression, but the precise function of rTSbeta is unknown.

Nature Communications, 2022 SARS- CoV-2 hijacks ACE2 for cell entry. Here, the authors report that dynamic SUMOylation modulates the TOLLIP-directed selective autophagic degradation of ACE2 and suggest SUMOylation inhibition as a potential intervention against SARS-CoV-2 infection.

Fructose promotes ampicillin killing of antibiotic-resistant Streptococcus agalactiae
Virulence, 2023 Streptococcus agalactiae (GBS) is an important pathogenic bacteria that infected both aquatic animals and human beings, causing huge economic loss. The increasing cases of antibiotic-resistant GBS impose challenges to treat such infection by antibiotics.

Phosphatidylinositol 4‐kinase as a target of pathogens—friend or foe?
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.This graphical summary illustrates the roles of phosphatidylinositol 4‐kinases (PI4Ks). PI4Ks regulate key cellular processes and can be hijacked by pathogens, such as viruses, bacteria and parasites, to support their intracellular replication. Their dual role as essential host enzymes and pathogen cofactors makes them promising drug targets.

Protein pyrophosphorylation by inositol pyrophosphates — detection, function, and regulation
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Protein pyrophosphorylation is an unusual signaling mechanism that was discovered two decades ago. It can be driven by inositol pyrophosphate messengers and influences various cellular processes. Herein, we summarize the research progress and challenges of this field, covering pathways found to be regulated by this posttranslational modification as ...

Bioinformatics and the discovery of gene function [PDF]
Trends in Genetics, 1996 Scientific history was made in completing the yeast genuine sequence, yet its 13 Mb are a mere starting point. Two challenges loom large: to decipher the function of all genes and to describe the workings of the eukaryotic cell in full molecular detail. A combination of experimental and theoretical approaches will be brought to bear on these challenges.

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.The Ile181Asn variant of human UDP‐xylose synthase (hUXS1), associated with a short‐stature genetic syndrome, has previously been reported as inactive. Our findings demonstrate that Ile181Asn‐hUXS1 retains catalytic activity similar to the wild‐type but exhibits reduced stability, a looser oligomeric state, and an increased tendency to precipitate ...

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.We reconstituted Synechocystis glycogen synthesis in vitro from purified enzymes and showed that two GlgA isoenzymes produce glycogen with different architectures: GlgA1 yields denser, highly branched glycogen, whereas GlgA2 synthesizes longer, less‐branched chains.
