Identification and functional comparison of novel alternatively spliced isoforms of human YAP
As a key effector of the Hippo pathway, yes‐associated protein (YAP) is a major regulator of cell proliferation and apoptosis. In this study, 23 hYAP isoforms were identified in HEK293 cells, with 14 isoforms being reported for the first time.

Enhanced protein isoform characterization through long-read proteogenomics
Background The detection of physiologically relevant protein isoforms encoded by the human genome is critical to biomedicine. Mass spectrometry (MS)-based proteomics is the preeminent method for protein detection, but isoform-resolved proteomic analysis ...

Structure-guided isoform identification for the human transcriptome
Recently developed methods to predict three-dimensional protein structure with high accuracy have opened new avenues for genome and proteome research. We explore a new hypothesis in genome annotation, namely whether computationally predicted structures ...

Backbone chemical shift assignments of human 14-3-3$\sigma$ [PDF]
14-3-3 proteins are a group of seven dimeric adapter proteins that exert their biological function by interacting with hundreds of phosphorylated proteins, thus influencing their sub-cellular localization, activity or stability in the cell.
