Genome mining strategies for metallophore discovery

Current Opinion in Biotechnology, 2022
Many bacteria use small-molecule chelators called metallophores to acquire trace metals from their environment. These molecules play a central role in interactions between bacteria, plants, and animals. Hence, knowing their full diversity is key to combatting infectious diseases as well as harnessing beneficial microbial communities.

Data mining parasite genomes

Parasitology, 2004
The term ‘data mining’ can be used to describe any process where useful information is extracted from data with a large background of ‘noise’. In the context of a genome project, several stages involve data mining. Amongst the sequence data, ‘signals’ need to be detected that indicate the presence of interesting features.

Plecstatin inhibits hepatocellular carcinoma tumorigenesis and invasion through cytolinker plectin

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
The ruthenium‐based metallodrug plecstatin exerts its anticancer effect in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) primarily through selective targeting of plectin. By disrupting plectin‐mediated cytoskeletal organization, plecstatin inhibits anchorage‐dependent growth, cell polarization, and tumor cell dissemination.

What Do Large Language Models Know About Materials?

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
If large language models (LLMs) are to be used inside the material discovery and engineering process, they must be benchmarked for the accurateness of intrinsic material knowledge. The current work introduces 1) a reasoning process through the processing–structure–property–performance chain and 2) a tool for benchmarking knowledge of LLMs concerning ...

Genome Mining for Unknown-Unknown Natural Products

Nature Chemical Biology, 2022
Genome mining of biosynthetic pathways with no identifiable core enzymes can lead to discovery of the so-called unknown (biosynthetic route)-unknown (molecular structure) natural products. In this work, we focused on a conserved fungal biosynthetic pathway (ank) that lacks a canonical core enzyme, and used heterologous expression to identify the ...

Integrative Approaches for DNA Sequence‐Controlled Functional Materials

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
DNA is emerging as a programmable building block for functional materials with applications in biomimicry, biochemical, and mechanical information processing. The integration of simulations, experiments, and machine learning is explored as a means to bridge DNA sequences with macroscopic material properties, highlighting current advances and providing ...

Genome mining shows that retroviruses are pervasively invading vertebrate genomes

Nature Communications, 2023
AbstractEndogenous retroviruses (ERVs) record past retroviral infections, providing molecular archives for interrogating the evolution of retroviruses and retrovirus-host interaction. However, the vast majority of ERVs are not active anymore due to various disruptive mutations, and ongoing retroviral invasion of vertebrate genomes has been rarely ...

RIG‐I Mediated Neuron‐Specific IFN Type 1 Signaling in FUS‐ALS Induces Neurodegeneration and Offers New Biomarker‐Driven Individualized Treatment Options for (FUS‐)ALS

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Using iPSC‐derived motoneurons and postmortem tissue from FUS‐ALS patients, it is demonstrated that increased mitochondrial transcription leads to elevated cytosolic double‐stranded RNA (dsRNA) levels. This aberrant accumulation activates a RIG‐I–dependent innate immune response leading to neurodegeneration, which is amenable for FDA‐ and EMA‐approved ...

Bioactivities and genome insights of a thermotolerant antibiotics‐producing Streptomyces sp. TM32 reveal its potentials for novel drug discovery

MicrobiologyOpen, 2019
A way to defeat antimicrobial resistance (AMR) crisis is to supply novel drugs to the pharmaceutical industry. This effort leads to a global call for seeking the beneficial microbes from underexplored habitats.
