From mice to humans—divergent strategies for intestinal homeostasis and regeneration

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Recent advances such as organoid genome editing, xenotransplantation, imaging, and whole‐genome sequencing have enabled direct studies of human intestinal stem cells (ISCs). These studies reveal species‐specific features, including slower ISC proliferation, distinct injury responses, slower somatic mutation accumulation in humans, and an inverse ...

Exon-phase symmetry and intrinsic structural disorder promote modular evolution in the human genome

, 2013
A key signature of module exchange in the genome is phase symmetry of exons, suggestive of exon shuffling events that occurred without disrupting translation reading frame.

The function of intrinsically disordered selenoproteins

, 2023
Rozovsky, SharonSELENOS and SELENOK are intrinsically disordered selenoproteins that take part in the endoplasmic-reticulum-associated degradation (ERAD) pathway, which degrades misfolded proteins and maintains cellular protein hemostasis.

Three phosphatase families form a community: The phosphohydrolases that act upon inositol pyrophosphates

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Inositol pyrophosphates are energy‐rich signaling molecules that perform critical functions in cells. Three different families of phosphatases hydrolyze the β phosphate of the inositol pyrophosphate molecules: two have narrow specificities and one is promiscuous.

Deciphering the mechanisms of binding induced folding at nearly atomic resolution : The Φ value analysis applied to IDPs

, 2014
The Φ value analysis is a method to analyze the structure of metastable states in reaction pathways. Such a methodology is based on the quantitative analysis of the effect of point mutations on the kinetics and thermodynamics of the probed reaction.

Interpreting the effects of DNA polymerase variants at the structural level

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Using MAVISp and molecular dynamics simulations, we analyzed over 60 000 missense variants in POLE and POLD1 from ClinVar, COSMIC, cBioPortal, and saturation mutagenesis. Identified mechanistic indicators, including stability, binding, and long‐range, enable structural interpretation, providing ACMG‐like evidence for possible reclassification of VUS ...

Intrinsically disordered proteins studied by NMR spectroscopy

Journal of Magnetic Resonance Open
Intrinsically disordered proteins (IDPs) and intrinsically disordered regions (IDRs) of complex multi-domain proteins are now identified as a trend topic by the scientific community.

Intrinsically disordered proteins play diverse roles in cell signaling

Cell Communication and Signaling, 2022
Signaling pathways allow cells to detect and respond to a wide variety of chemical (e.g. Ca2+ or chemokine proteins) and physical stimuli (e.g., sheer stress, light).

Chameleon sequences reveal structural effects in proteins representing micelle‐like distribution of hydrophobicity

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Amino acids sequence of two different proteins with the same sequence (chameleon sequence—black boxes) represent in 3D structure of the proteins different secondary structures: HHHH—helical and BBB—Beta‐structural. The chains folded in water environment adopt different III‐order structures in which the chameleon fragments appear to adopt similar status

SCREENING INTERACTIONS BETWEEN PROTEINS AND DISORDERED PEPTIDES BY A NOVEL COMPUTATIONAL METHOD [PDF]

, 2013
Concerted interactions between proteins in cells form the basis of most biological processes. Biophysicists study protein–protein association by measuring thermodynamic and kinetic properties.
