Phosphatidylinositol 4‐kinase as a target of pathogens—friend or foe?

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
This graphical summary illustrates the roles of phosphatidylinositol 4‐kinases (PI4Ks). PI4Ks regulate key cellular processes and can be hijacked by pathogens, such as viruses, bacteria and parasites, to support their intracellular replication. Their dual role as essential host enzymes and pathogen cofactors makes them promising drug targets.

High-quality metagenome assembly from nanopore reads with nanoMDBG

open access: yesNature Communications
Third-generation long-read sequencing technologies, significantly improve metagenome assemblies. Highly accurate PacBio HiFi reads can yield hundreds of near-complete metagenome-assembled genomes (MAGs) from a single sample. Recently, the accuracy of the

Prediction of DNA-Binding Protein–Drug-Binding Sites Using Residue Interaction Networks and Sequence Feature

open access: yesFrontiers in Bioengineering and Biotechnology, 2022
Identification of protein–ligand binding sites plays a critical role in drug discovery. However, there is still a lack of targeted drug prediction for DNA-binding proteins. This study aims at the binding sites of DNA-binding proteins and drugs, by mining

Protein pyrophosphorylation by inositol pyrophosphates — detection, function, and regulation

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Protein pyrophosphorylation is an unusual signaling mechanism that was discovered two decades ago. It can be driven by inositol pyrophosphate messengers and influences various cellular processes. Herein, we summarize the research progress and challenges of this field, covering pathways found to be regulated by this posttranslational modification as ...

Characterizing Communication Channel Deadlocks in Sequence Diagrams

open access: yes, 2008
UML sequence diagrams (SDs) are a mainstay of requirements specifications for communication protocols. Mauw and Reniers' algebraic (MRA) semantics formally specifies a behaviour for these SDs that guarantees deadlock free processes.

Assessing Incrementality in Sequence-to-Sequence Models [PDF]

open access: yesProceedings of the 4th Workshop on Representation Learning for NLP (RepL4NLP-2019), 2019
Since their inception, encoder-decoder models have successfully been applied to a wide array of problems in computational linguistics. The most recent successes are predominantly due to the use of different variations of attention mechanisms, but their cognitive plausibility is questionable.

Structural instability impairs function of the UDP‐xylose synthase 1 Ile181Asn variant associated with short‐stature genetic syndrome in humans

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
The Ile181Asn variant of human UDP‐xylose synthase (hUXS1), associated with a short‐stature genetic syndrome, has previously been reported as inactive. Our findings demonstrate that Ile181Asn‐hUXS1 retains catalytic activity similar to the wild‐type but exhibits reduced stability, a looser oligomeric state, and an increased tendency to precipitate ...
