Bayesian Markov Random Rield Analysis for Protein Function Prediction Based on Network Data [PDF]

, 2010
Inference of protein functions is one of the most important aims of modern biology. To fully exploit the large volumes of genomic data typically produced in modern-day genomic experiments, automated computational methods for protein function prediction ...

New Insights into the Virulence Traits and Antibiotic Resistance of Enterococci Isolated from Diverse Probiotic Products

Microorganisms, 2021
The GRAS (generally recognized as safe) status of Enterococcus has not yet been authenticated, but enterococci, as probiotics, have been increasingly applied in human healthcare and animal husbandry, for instance as a dietary supplement, feed additive ...

An empirical evaluation of the effectiveness of different types of predictor attributes in protein function prediction. [PDF]

, 2009
Many classification schemes for defining protein functions, such as Gene Ontology (GO), are organised in a hierarchical structure. Nodes near the root of the hierarchy represent general functions while nodes near the leaves of the hierarchy represent ...

Methylation of HBP1 by PRMT1 promotes tumor progression by regulating actin cytoskeleton remodeling

Oncogenesis, 2022
HBP1 is a sequence-specific transcription factor which generally considered as a crucial growth inhibitor. Posttranslational modification of HBP1 is vital for its function.

FLORA: a novel method to predict protein function from structure in diverse superfamilies [PDF]

, 2009
Predicting protein function from structure remains an active area of interest, particularly for the structural genomics initiatives where a substantial number of structures are initially solved with little or no functional characterisation.

HetI-Like Phosphopantetheinyl Transferase Posttranslationally Modifies Acyl Carrier Proteins in Xanthomonas spp.

Molecular Plant-Microbe Interactions, 2022
In Xanthomonas spp., the biosynthesis of the yellow pigment xanthomonadin and fatty acids originates in the type II polyketide synthase (PKS II) and fatty acid synthase (FAS) pathways, respectively. The acyl carrier protein (ACP) is the central component

Non-Contiguous Protein Recombination [PDF]

, 2013
Swapping sequence elements among related proteins can produce chimeric proteins with novel behaviors and improved properties such as enhanced stability. Although homologous mutations are much more conservative than random mutations, chimeras of distantly-

Hybridization is a recurrent evolutionary stimulus in wild yeast speciation

Nature Communications, 2019
Hybridization can contribute to diversity from the genomic to the species level. Here, Eberlein, Hénault et al. investigate genomic, transcriptomic and phenotypic variation among wild lineages of the yeast Saccharomyces paradoxus and suggest that an ...
