PlantGFM: A Genomic Foundation Model for Discovery and Creation of Plant Genes

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A plant genomic foundation model pre‐trained on 12 species enables both accurate gene prediction and de novo gene design. Through AI‐human knowledge screening, seven designed sequences showed transcriptional activity in plants, with two expressing stable proteins—demonstrating the first DNA‐RNA‐protein expression of LLM‐generated genes in plants and ...

TASmania: A bacterial Toxin-Antitoxin Systems database

PLOS Computational Biology, 2019
Bacterial Toxin-Antitoxin systems (TAS) are involved in key biological functions including plasmid maintenance, defense against phages, persistence and virulence. They are found in nearly all phyla and classified into 6 different types based on the mode of inactivation of the toxin, with the type II TAS being the best characterized so far.

Characterization of HicAB toxin-antitoxin module of Sinorhizobium meliloti

BMC Microbiology, 2019
Background Toxin-antitoxin (TA) systems are little genetic units generally composed of two genes encoding antitoxin and toxin. These systems are known to be involved in many functions that can lead to growth arrest and cell death.

Asking the 5 W's for designing next‐generation bioprocessing

AIChE Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Biotechnology is expanding beyond traditional, centralized fermentation and toward next‐generation bioprocessing paradigms that emphasize flexible deployment outside the laboratory with application‐specific performance. However, many bioprocesses fail to translate beyond proof‐of‐concept into industrially viable systems because early design ...

Vaginal host–microbe signatures linked to placental outcomes in mares

Equine Veterinary Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Ascending placentitis is a leading cause of late‐term pregnancy loss in mares. Although pathogens are presumed to ascend from the caudal reproductive tract, the association between the vaginal microbiome and placentitis has not been systematically examined.

Genomic epidemiology and lineage‐specific risk stratification of tet(X4)‐mediated tigecycline resistance along the pork production chain: A One Health perspective

iMetaOmics, EarlyView.
Genome surveillance across a swine‐associated One Health continuum in China shows that slaughterhouses act as major enrichment nodes for tet(X4)‐mediated tigecycline resistance, driven by putative clonal transmission and stable plasmid backbones. Integrating global datasets enables lineage‐specific risk stratification, highlighting key control points ...

Type I Toxin-Antitoxin Systems in Clostridia [PDF]

Toxins, 2019
Type I toxin-antitoxin (TA) modules are abundant in both bacterial plasmids and chromosomes and usually encode a small hydrophobic toxic protein and an antisense RNA acting as an antitoxin. The RNA antitoxin neutralizes toxin mRNA by inhibiting its translation and/or promoting its degradation.

Generation of a toxin/antitoxin-based counterselection marker for Chlamydia trachomatis

Infection and Immunity
Chlamydia trachomatis is the leading cause of bacterial sexually transmitted infection in the United States. The high rate of asymptomatic cases and absence of a vaccine often leave infections untreated, increasing the risk of serious complications in ...

Control of Toxin-Antitoxin Systems by Proteases in Mycobacterium Tuberculosis

Frontiers in Molecular Biosciences, 2021
Toxin-antitoxin (TA) systems are small genetic elements composed of a noxious toxin and a counteracting cognate antitoxin. Although they are widespread in bacterial chromosomes and in mobile genetic elements, their cellular functions and activation ...

Integrative Modeling in the Age of Machine Learning: A Summary of HADDOCK Strategies in CAPRI Rounds 47–55

Proteins: Structure, Function, and Bioinformatics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The HADDOCK team participated in CAPRI rounds 47–55 as server, manual predictor, and scorers. Throughout these CAPRI rounds, we used a plethora of computational strategies to predict the structure of protein complexes. Of the 10 targets comprising 24 interfaces, we achieved acceptable or better models for 3 targets in the human category and 1 ...
