Protocol for constructing glycan biosynthetic networks using glycowork
STAR ProtocolsSummary: Glycans, present across all domains of life, comprise a wide range of monosaccharides assembled into complex, branching structures. Here, we present an in silico protocol to construct biosynthetic networks from a list of observed glycans using ...

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Anaplastic thyroid cancer (ATC) lacks iodide uptake ability due to MAPK activation increasing the expression of the histone methyltransferase EZH2, which represses thyroid differentiation genes (TDGs) such as the sodium iodide symporter (NIS). Dual inhibition of MAPK (U0126) and EZH2 (EPZ6438/Tazemetostat) reverses this mechanism, thus restoring TDG ...

AlphaFold-multimer predicts ATG8 protein binding motifs crucial for autophagy research
PLoS Biology, 2023 In this issue of PLOS Biology, Ibrahim and colleagues demonstrate how AlphaFold-multimer, an artificial intelligence–based structure prediction tool, can be used to identify sequence motifs binding to the ATG8 family of proteins central to autophagy ...

By dawn or dusk—how circadian timing rewrites bacterial infection outcomes
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.The circadian clock shapes immune function, yet its influence on infection outcomes is only beginning to be understood. This review highlights how circadian timing alters host responses to the bacterial pathogens Salmonella enterica, Listeria monocytogenes, and Streptococcus pneumoniae revealing that the effectiveness of immune defense depends not only

Epstein-Barr Virus Sequence Variation—Biology and Disease
Pathogens, 2012 Some key questions in Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) biology center on whether naturally occurring sequence differences in the virus affect infection or EBV associated diseases. Understanding the pattern of EBV sequence variation is also important for possible

Biology and taxonomy of crAss-like bacteriophages, the most abundant virus in the human gut
bioRxiv, 2018 CrAssphage is yet to be cultured even though it represents the most abundant virus in the gut microbiota of humans. Recently, sequence based classification was performed on distantly related crAss-like phages from multiple environments, leading to the ...

Why emerging leaders should focus on being good postdoctoral supervisors
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Swamped with work and suddenly a new student is waiting at your doorstep for supervision? Great—this is your chance! In this article, we share tips on how postdocs can strengthen their leadership skills while supervising students. This image has been created using DALL·E. Many postdocs work as leaders later in their career.

Fungal genome sequencing: basic biology to biotechnology [PDF]
Critical Reviews in Biotechnology, 2015 The genome sequences provide a first glimpse into the genomic basis of the biological diversity of filamentous fungi and yeast. The genome sequence of the budding yeast, Saccharomyces cerevisiae, with a small genome size, unicellular growth, and rich history of genetic and molecular analyses was a milestone of early genomics in the 1990s.
