King post truss as a motif for internal structure of (meta)material with controlled elastic properties [PDF]
One of the most interesting challenges in the modern theory of materials consists in the determination of those microstructures which produce, at the macro-level, a class of metamaterials whose elastic range is many orders of magnitude wider than the one

Controllability of protein-protein interaction phosphorylation-based networks: Participation of the hub 14-3-3 protein family [PDF]
Posttranslational regulation of protein function is an ubiquitous mechanism in eukaryotic cells. Here, we analyzed biological properties of nodes and edges of a human protein-protein interaction phosphorylation-based network, especially of those nodes ...

A dynamic view of domain-motif interactions. [PDF]
Many protein-protein interactions are mediated by domain-motif interaction, where a domain in one protein binds a short linear motif in its interacting partner.

Structure and Dynamics in the ATG8 Family From Experimental to Computational Techniques
Autophagy is a conserved and essential intracellular mechanism for the removal of damaged components. Since autophagy deregulation is linked to different kinds of pathologies, it is fundamental to gain knowledge on the fine molecular and structural ...

Cell signaling in Ehrlichia infection and cancer: Parallels in pathogenesis
Ehrlichia chaffeensis (E. chaffeensis) has recently emerged as an intracellular bacterial pathogen with sophisticated survival mechanisms that include repurposing evolutionarily conserved eukaryotic cell signaling pathways for immune evasion.

Mutation of CD2AP and SH3KBP1 binding motif in alphavirus nsP3 hypervariable domain results in attenuated virus [PDF]
Infection by Chikungunya virus (CHIKV) of the Old World alphaviruses (family Togaviridae) in humans can cause arthritis and arthralgia. The virus encodes four non-structural proteins (nsP) (nsP1, nsp2, nsP3 and nsP4) that act as subunits of the virus ...

Mapping the evolution of mitochondrial complex I through structural variation
Respiratory complex I (CI) is crucial for bioenergetic metabolism in many prokaryotes and eukaryotes. It is composed of a conserved set of core subunits and additional accessory subunits that vary depending on the organism. Here, we categorize CI subunits from available structures to map the evolution of CI across eukaryotes. Respiratory complex I (CI)

Computational Investigation of Structural Interfaces of Protein Complexes with Short Linear Motifs [PDF]
AbstractProtein complexes with short linear motifs (SLiMs) are known to play important regulatory functions in eukaryotes. In this investigation, I have studied the structures deposited in PDB with SLiMs. The structures Were grouped into three broad categories of protein-protein, protein-peptide and the rest as others.

Insight into Calcium-Binding Motifs of Intrinsically Disordered Proteins
Motifs within proteins help us categorize their functions. Intrinsically disordered proteins (IDPs) are rich in short linear motifs, conferring them many different roles.
