RhoA and Rac1 as Mechanotransduction Mediators in Colorectal Cancer
Advanced Biology, EarlyView.Analysing RhoA and Rac1 protein levels in Colorectal cancer (CRC) samples under mechanical strain highlights their potential as diagnostic markers. Monitoring their activity could offer valuable insights into how cancer spreads, paving the way for new approaches to better understand and diagnose colorectal cancer.

Knowledge-based energy functions for computational studies of proteins [PDF]
, 2006 This chapter discusses theoretical framework and methods for developing knowledge-based potential functions essential for protein structure prediction, protein-protein interaction, and protein sequence design. We discuss in some details about the Miyazawa-Jernigan contact statistical potential, distance-dependent statistical potentials, as well as ...

Small antimicrobial resistance proteins (SARPs): Small proteins conferring antimicrobial resistance [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 Small open reading frames are understudied as they have been historically excluded from genome annotations. However, evidence for the functional significance of small proteins in various cellular processes accumulates. Proteins with less than 70 residues can also confer resistance to antimicrobial compounds, including intracellularly-acting protein ...

G3BP1 modulates SPOP to promote prostate tumorigenesis
Molecular & Cellular Oncology, 2022 Speckle-type POZ protein (SPOP), a Cullin 3-based ubiquitin ligase (CUL3SPOP), acts as a prostate-specific tumor suppressor. Loss-of-function mutations in SPOP occur in 10% of primary prostate cancer with a high Gleason grade and poor prognosis. However,

Free-energy distribution of binary protein-protein binding suggests cross-species interactome differences [PDF]
PNAS 103, 11527- 11532 (2006); Aug 1, 2006 no 31, 2006 Major advances in large-scale yeast two hybrid (Y2H) screening have provided a global view of binary protein-protein interactions across species as dissimilar as human, yeast, and bacteria. Remarkably, these analyses have revealed that all species studied have a degree distribution of protein-protein binding that is approximately scale-free (varies as ...

Chromatin Organization Governs Transcriptional Response and Plasticity of Cancer Stem Cells
Advanced Science, EarlyView.Through a combination of transcriptomic and histone mapping studies integrated with chromatin imaging, we define how chromatin organization in nanoscale packing domains fine tunes the plasticity of cancer stem cells (CSCs) driving evasion from and survival after chemotherapy.

Protein Inference and Protein Quantification: Two Sides of the Same Coin [PDF]
arXiv, 2012 Motivation: In mass spectrometry-based shotgun proteomics, protein quantification and protein identification are two major computational problems. To quantify the protein abundance, a list of proteins must be firstly inferred from the sample. Then the relative or absolute protein abundance is estimated with quantification methods, such as spectral ...
