Intricate Knots in Proteins: Function and Evolution [PDF]
P. Virnau, L. A. Mirny, M. Kardar, PLoS Comp Biol 2, 1074-1079
(2006), 2007 A number of recently discovered protein structures incorporate a rather unexpected structural feature: a knot in the polypeptide backbone. These knots are extremely rare, but their occurrence is likely connected to protein function in as yet unexplored fashion.

Prediction of peptidoglycan hydrolases- a new class of antibacterial proteins
BMC Genomics, 2016 The efficacy of antibiotics against bacterial infections is decreasing due to the development of resistance in bacteria, and thus, there is a need to search for potential alternatives to antibiotics. In this scenario, peptidoglycan hydrolases can be used

Advanced Science, EarlyView.A model is schematically represented for the major molecular mechanisms by which homocysteine (Hcy) accelerates the nuclear export of circ‐PIAS1‐5, which regulates atherosclerosis by acting as a competing endogenous RNA for miR‐219a‐2‐3p. Hcy enrichment of circ‐PIAS1‐5 leads to YTHDC1 binding to circ‐PIAS1‐5 and promotes its intracellular localization ...

The phospholipid flippase ATP8B1 is required for lysosomal fusion in macrophages
Cell Biochemistry and Function, Volume 40, Issue 8, Page 914-925, December 2022., 2022 Abstract ATP8B1 is a phospholipid flippase and member of the type 4 subfamily of P‐type ATPases (P4‐ATPase) subfamily. P4‐ATPases catalyze the translocation of phospholipids across biological membranes, ensuring proper membrane asymmetry, which is crucial for membrane protein targeting and activity, vesicle biogenesis, and barrier function.

ChemBioChem, Volume 23, Issue 23, December 5, 2022., 2022 Housing sulfur: Certain fungi produce diketopiperazine compounds with a transannular sulfur bridge. These so‐called epipolythiodioxopiperzines are toxic by non‐specifically interacting with intracellular proteins and contribute to fungal pathogenicity. Producer strains serve as bio‐pesticides but also question safety of food fermentation.
