Transformer-based toxin-protein interaction analysis prioritizes airborne particulate matter components with potential adverse health effects [PDF]

arXiv
Air pollution, particularly airborne particulate matter (PM), poses a significant threat to public health globally. It is crucial to comprehend the association between PM-associated toxic components and their cellular targets in humans to understand the mechanisms by which air pollution impacts health and to establish causal relationships between air ...

Enhanced discovery of bacterial laccase‐like multicopper oxidase through computer simulation and metagenomic analysis of industrial wastewater

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
We obtained potential bacterial laccase‐like multicopper oxidase (LMCO) sequences through metagenomic sequencing. All sequences exhibited significant differences from known LMCOs in databases. To select the most promising candidates, we performed structure prediction and molecular docking using alphafold2, metal3d and rosetta.

Characterization of increased mortality of Drosophila melanogaster exposed to sucrose-fermenting yeast

Biological Control
Adult fruit flies are strongly attracted to odors emitted by the microbial fermentation of sugars in fruits. Such microbes, particularly yeasts, also serve as an essential nutritional source for fruit flies and influence their reproduction and fecundity.

BioTD: an online database of biotoxins [PDF]

arXiv
Biotoxins, mainly produced by venomous animals, plants and microorganisms, exhibit high physiological activity and unique effects such as lowering blood pressure and analgesia. A number of venom-derived drugs are already available on the market, with many more candidates currently undergoing clinical and laboratory studies.

Comparative study of adenosine 3′‐pyrophosphokinase domains of MuF polymorphic toxins

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
With the ultimate goal of understanding the association of toxin‐immunity modules to temperate phages, we characterized toxins from three prophages and examined cross‐protection from immunity proteins. The toxins exhibit adenosine 3′‐pyrophosphokinase activity and are toxic in Escherichia coli.

KCS1 and VIP1, the genes encoding yeast phosphoinositol pyrophosphate synthases, are required for Ca2+‐mediated response to dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO)

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Ca2+‐mediated response to DMSO was investigated in Saccharomyces cerevisiae cells expressing Ca2+‐dependent aequorin. Cell exposure to DMSO induced a cytosolic Ca2+ wave dependent on the integrity of the Cch1/Mid1 channel. Deletion of KCS1 or VIP1 genes encoding the phosphoinositol pyrophosphate (PP‐IP) synthases suppressed the DMSO‐induced Ca2 ...
