Computation of a Theoretical Membrane Phase Diagram, and the Role of Phase in Lipid Raft-Mediated Protein Organization [PDF]
, 2018 Lipid phase heterogeneity in the plasma membrane is thought to be crucial for many aspects of cell signaling, but the physical basis of participating membrane domains such as "lipid rafts" remains controversial. Here we consider a lattice model yielding a phase diagram that includes several states proposed to be relevant for the cell membrane ...

Comparing local search paths with global search paths on protein residue networks: allosteric communication [PDF]
J Complex Netw (2017) 5 (3): 409-432, 2015 Although proteins have been recognized as small-world networks and their small-world network properties of clustering and short paths have been exploited computationally to produce biologically relevant information, they have not been truly explored as such, i.e. as navigable small-world networks in the original spirit of Milgram's work.

Insights into PI3K/AKT signaling in B cell development and chronic lymphocytic leukemia
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.This Review explores how the phosphoinositide 3‐kinase and protein kinase B pathway shapes B cell development and drives chronic lymphocytic leukemia, a common blood cancer. It examines how signaling levels affect disease progression, addresses treatment challenges, and introduces novel experimental strategies to improve therapies and patient outcomes.

Elucidation of a four-site allosteric network in fibroblast growth factor receptor tyrosine kinases
eLife, 2017 Receptor tyrosine kinase (RTK) signaling is tightly regulated by protein allostery within the intracellular tyrosine kinase domains. Yet the molecular determinants of allosteric connectivity in tyrosine kinase domain are incompletely understood. By means

In silico Modeling of Itk Activation Kinetics in Thymocytes Suggests Competing Positive and Negative IP4 Mediated Feedbacks Increase Robustness [PDF]
PLOS ONE, Vol 8, Issue 9, Page e73937, September 2013, 2013 The inositol-phosphate messenger inositol(1,3,4,5)tetrakisphosphate (IP4) is essential for thymocyte positive selection by regulating plasma-membrane association of the protein tyrosine kinase Itk downstream of the T cell receptor (TCR). IP4 can act as a soluble analog of the phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K) membrane lipid product phosphatidylinositol ...

Characteristics of the Kelch domain containing (KLHDC) subfamily and relationships with diseases
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.The Kelch protein superfamily includes 63 members, with the KLHDC subfamily having 10 proteins. While their functions are not fully understood, recent advances in KLHDC2's structure and role in protein degradation have highlighted its potential for drug development, especially in PROTAC therapies.

Giant Hub Src and Syk Tyrosine Kinase Thermodynamic Profiles Recapitulate Evolution [PDF]
, 2016 Thermodynamic scaling theory, previously applied mainly to small proteins, here analyzes quantitative evolution of the titled functional network giant hub enzymes. The broad domain structure identified homologically is confirmed hydropathically using amino acid sequences only.

Towards Explainable Anticancer Compound Sensitivity Prediction via Multimodal Attention-based Convolutional Encoders [PDF]
Mol. Pharmaceutics 2019, 2019 In line with recent advances in neural drug design and sensitivity prediction, we propose a novel architecture for interpretable prediction of anticancer compound sensitivity using a multimodal attention-based convolutional encoder. Our model is based on the three key pillars of drug sensitivity: compounds' structure in the form of a SMILES sequence ...
