Scaffolding protein functional sites using deep learning

Basile Isidore Martin Wicky, Jue Wang, Bruno Emanuel Ferreira De Sousa Correia, Karla Montserrat Castro Gilabert, Wayne Yang Wen Wei

The binding and catalytic functions of proteins are generally mediated by a small number of functional residues held in place by the overall protein structure. Here, we describe deep learning approaches for scaffolding such functional sites without needing ...

m6A methylation potentiates cytosolic dsDNA recognition in a sequence-specific manner

Andrea Ablasser, Muhammet Fatih Gülen

Nucleic acid sensing through pattern recognition receptors is critical for immune recognition of microbial infections. Microbial DNA is frequently methylated at the N-6 position of adenines (m6A), a modification that is rare in mammalian host DNA. We show ...

A Rosetta-based protein design protocol converging to natural sequences

Bruno Emanuel Ferreira De Sousa Correia, Zander Harteveld, Giulia Sormani, Stéphane Rosset

Computational protein design has emerged as a powerful tool capable of identifying sequences compatible with pre-defined protein structures. The sequence design protocols, implemented in the Rosetta suite, have become widely used in the protein engineering ...

Electronic and structural dynamics in DNA single strands

Benjamin Bauer

The absorption, conversion and transport of electronic energy in molecular aggregates is at the heart of many important natural and artificial photochemical systems, including organic solar cell materials, photosynthetic light-harvesting complexes and DNA ...

Sequence-dependent structural properties of B-DNA: what have we learned in 40 years?

John Maddocks, Daiva Petkeviciute, Paolo Carloni, Marco Pasi, Rahul Sharma

The structure of B-DNA, the physiological form of the DNA molecule, has been a central topic in biology, chemistry and physics. Far from uniform and rigid, the double helix was revealed as a flexible and structurally polymorphic molecule. Conformational ch ...

Automatic Content Curation of Visual Heritage

Mathieu Salzmann, Nicolas Henchoz, Delphine Ribes Lemay, Frédéric Kaplan, Valentine Bernasconi

Digitization and preservation of large heritage induce high maintenance costs to keep up with the technical standards and ensure sustainable access. Creating impactful usage is instrumental to justify the resources for long-term preservation. The Museum fü ...

Dynamic Chromatin Invasion and Remodeling by the Transcription Factor Rap1

Maxime Nicolas Mivelaz

Pioneer transcription factors (PTF) are a subset of transcription factors with nucleosome-binding properties allowing them to bind specific sequences in condensed chromatin. Although the biological functions of PTFs including target genes and epigenetic ch ...

Induction of a chromatin boundary in vivo upon insertion of a tad border

Denis Duboule, Marie-Laure Gadolini, Christopher Chase Bolt, Lucille Delisle, Edgardo Rodriguez Carballo

Author summary During development, enhancer sequences tightly regulate the spatio-temporal expression of target genes often located hundreds of kilobases away. This complex process is made possible by the folding of chromatin into domains, which are separa ...

Chromatin Proteomics to Study Epigenetics - Challenges and Opportunities

Guido Van Mierlo

Regulation of gene expression is essential for the functioning of all eukaryotic organisms. Understanding gene expression regulation requires determining which proteins interact with regulatory elements in chromatin. MS-based analysis of chromatin has emer ...

On the use of direct-coupling analysis with a reduced alphabet of amino acids combined with super-secondary structure motifs for protein fold prediction

Jaume Bonet Martinez

Direct-coupling analysis (DCA) for studying the coevolution of residues in proteins has been widely used to predict the three-dimensional structure of a protein from its sequence. We present RADI/raDIMod, a variation of the original DCA algorithm that grou ...

Toward a mechanistic understanding of variable chromatin modules

Gerard Llimos Aubach

Our genome is a long sequence of DNA that contains all the information to be able to constitute a living organism like us, similarly to what the letters in a book do to create a story. This sequence, which is a stretch of molecules called nucleotides, is a ...
