Folding and Misfolding of Designed Heteropolymer Chains with Mutations

, 1997
We study the impact of mutations (changes in amino acid sequence) on the thermodynamics of simple protein-like heteropolymers consisting of N monomers, representing the amino acid sequence. The sequence is designed to fold into its native conformation on

Periplakin, a novel component of cornified envelopes and desmosomes that belongs to the plakin family and forms complexes with envoplakin [PDF]

, 1997
The cornified envelope is a layer of transglutaminase cross-linked protein that is assembled under the plasma membrane of keratinocytes in the outermost layers of the epidermis.

Protein Structure and Sequence Generation with Equivariant Denoising Diffusion Probabilistic Models [PDF]

arXiv, 2022
Proteins are macromolecules that mediate a significant fraction of the cellular processes that underlie life. An important task in bioengineering is designing proteins with specific 3D structures and chemical properties which enable targeted functions. To this end, we introduce a generative model of both protein structure and sequence that can operate ...

ISLAND: In-Silico Prediction of Proteins Binding Affinity Using Sequence Descriptors [PDF]

BioData Mining, 2020 13:20, 2017
Determination of binding affinity of proteins in the formation of protein complexes requires sophisticated, expensive and time-consuming experimentation which can be replaced with computational methods. Most computational prediction techniques require protein structures which limit their applicability to protein complexes with known structures. In this

iLearn : an integrated platform and meta-learner for feature engineering, machine-learning analysis and modeling of DNA, RNA and protein sequence data

Briefings Bioinform., 2019
With the explosive growth of biological sequences generated in the post-genomic era, one of the most challenging problems in bioinformatics and computational biology is to computationally characterize sequences, structures and functions in an efficient ...

Leveraging current insights on IL‐10‐producing dendritic cells for developing effective immunotherapeutic approaches

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
In vivo IL‐10 produced by tissue‐resident tolDC is involved in maintaining/inducing tolerance. Depending on the agent used for ex vivo tolDC generation, cells acquire common features but prime T cells towards anergy, FOXP3+ Tregs, or Tr1 cells according to the levels of IL‐10 produced. Ex vivo‐induced tolDC were administered to patients to re‐establish/

Comprehensive analysis of sequences of a protein switch [PDF]

Protein Science, 2015
AbstractSwitches form a special class of proteins that dramatically change their three‐dimensional structures upon a small perturbation. One possible perturbation that we explore is that of a single point mutation. Building on the pioneering experimental work of Alexander et al. (Alexander et al.

Protocol for the prediction, interpretation, and mutation evaluation of post-translational modification using MIND-S

STAR Protocols, 2023
Summary: Post-translational modifications (PTMs) serve as key regulatory mechanisms in various cellular processes; altered PTMs can potentially lead to human diseases.

The immunological interface: dendritic cells as key regulators in metabolic dysfunction‐associated steatotic liver disease

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Metabolic dysfunction‐associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) affects nearly one‐third of the global population and poses a significant risk of progression to cirrhosis or liver cancer. Here, we discuss the roles of hepatic dendritic cell subtypes in MASLD, highlighting their distinct contributions to disease initiation and progression, and their ...
