Exploring “dark-matter” protein folds using deep learning

Pierre Vandergheynst, Sandrine Madeleine Suzanne Georgeon, Bruno Emanuel Ferreira De Sousa Correia, Zander Harteveld, Andreas Loukas, Stéphane Rosset, Alexandra Krina Van Hall-Beauvais, Casper Alexander Goverde

De novo protein design explores uncharted sequence and structure space to generate novel proteins not sampled by evolution. A main challenge in de novo design involves crafting “designable” structural templates to guide the sequence searches toward adoptin ...

De novo designed proteins: a study in engineering novel folds and functions

Alexandra Krina Van Hall-Beauvais

Proteins control nearly every facet of life on a molecular level. Proteins are formed from linear strings of amino acids, which fold into three-dimensional structures that can enact functions. Evolution has created highly efficient proteins in diverse fold ...

Z-REX uncovers a bifurcation in function of Keap1 paralogs

Yimon Aye, Xuyu Liu, Jesse Poganik, Alexandra Krina Van Hall-Beauvais, Yi Zhao, Kuan-Ting Huang

Studying electrophile signaling is marred by difficulties in parsing changes in pathway flux attributable to on-target, vis-& agrave;-vis off-target, modifications. By combining bolus dosing, knockdown, and Z- REX & mdash;a tool investigating on- target/on ...

Computational design of novel protein–protein interactions – An overview on methodological approaches and applications

Anthony Marchand, Bruno Emanuel Ferreira De Sousa Correia, Alexandra Krina Van Hall-Beauvais

Protein–protein interactions (PPIs) govern numerous cellular functions in terms of signaling, transport, defense and many others. Designing novel PPIs poses a fundamental challenge to our understanding of molecular interactions. The capability to robustly ...

The mRNA-Binding Protein HuR Is a Kinetically-Privileged Electrophile Sensor

Yimon Aye, Jesse Poganik, Alexandra Krina Van Hall-Beauvais, Yi Zhao

The key mRNA-binding proteins HuR and AUF1 are reported stress sensors in mammals. Intrigued by recent reports of sensitivity of these proteins to the electrophilic lipid prostaglandin A2 and other redox signals, we here examined their sensing abilities to ...

The more the merrier: how homo-oligomerization alters the interactome and function of ribonucleotide reductase

Yimon Aye, Alexandra Krina Van Hall-Beauvais

Stereotyped as a nexus of dNTP synthesis, the dual-subunit enzyme - ribonucleotide reductase (RNR) - is coming into view as a paradigm of oligomerization and moonlighting behavior. In the present issue of `omics', we discuss what makes the larger subunit o ...
