Reconstructing enzyme evolution by protein engineering

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Natural enzyme evolution can be retraced by protein engineering methods such as directed evolution, rational design, and ancestral sequence reconstruction. These approaches reveal how enzymes emerged from ligand‐binding scaffolds, developed varying substrate preferences, formed oligomeric complexes, adapted to environmental changes, and evolved novel ...

Analytical assessment of the probabilistic-temporal characteristics of the start and end of activities in an information and telecommunication system

open access: yesИзвестия высших учебных заведений. Поволжский регион:Технические науки
Background. The object of this study is mathematical models used to calculate the temporal characteristics of the start and end of actions in an information and telecommunications system under the influence of random factors.

Engineering peptides into antibodies—opportunities and strategies for therapeutic innovation

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Peptides and antibodies occupy complementary therapeutic niches. Peptides recognize difficult targets in a compact format, while antibodies add specificity, long half‐life, and effector functions. This review examines strategies that merge both modalities—peptide grafting into loops, terminal and Fc fusions, and bioconjugation—highlighting how ...

A version of the Elfving problem with random starting time

open access: yesStatistics & Probability Letters, 2009
An optimal stopping time problem with a Poisson process, discount function and random starting time is considered. Generalizations to a problem with random horizon and to a multi-person stopping game with priorities are presented.

Ligand‐dependent transcriptional heterogeneity in cell cycle gene expression delays G1/S entry

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
EGF and HRG induce distinct G1/S progression programs in ErbB2‐amplified BT474 breast cancer cells. Despite activating the potent ErbB2–ErbB3 heterodimer, HRG does not accelerate cell‐cycle entry. Instead, EGF promotes earlier restriction‐point passage via ERK–FOS signaling, whereas HRG activates the AKT–MYC axis, driving transcriptional heterogeneity ...

From junk to function — How weak selection in eukaryotes builds new parts and drives genomic complexity

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
How do genomes gain new functional parts? In eukaryotes, which tend to evolve under weak selection, much of the genome is junk. Palazzo and Qiu borrow the logic of Markov chains to show how non‐functional DNA becomes functional through the appearance of intermediate states, which arise due to epistasis, buffering, and biochemical messiness, allowing ...

Adaptive weighting-based hybrid recommender system: self-learning adaptive recommendation (SL-ARec) [PDF]

open access: yesPeerJ Computer Science
Recommender systems are essential for delivering personalized experiences but suffer from data sparsity, cold-start issues, and limited exploration that leads to over-specialization.

The Shewanella oneidensis Fic enzyme SoFic targets the switch‐I region of EF‐Tu for AMPylation

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Fic enzymes mediate diverse post‐translational modifications across all domains of life, including AMPylation. Prokaryotic EF‐Tu can be AMPylated and deAMPylated by the conserved Fic enzyme SoFic. Structural and biochemical approaches were used to characterize the effect of AMPylation on EF‐Tu, SoFic's enzymatic activities, and the enzyme‐target ...

Tridimensional infiltration of DNA viruses into the host genome shows preferential contact with active chromatin

open access: yesNature Communications, 2018
Whether DNA viruses contact specific regions of host genomes or make random contacts is unclear. Here, the authors use Hi-C and show that HBV cccDNA and Ad5 DNA contact preferentially active chromatin at CpG islands for the former and at transcription ...
