A self-adaptive tube restraint for free-energy calculations along path collective variables

Path collective variables reduce a high-dimensional transition to a progress coordinate, s, and an orthogonal distance, z. Computing the free energy along s often requires restraining z, so that sampling embraces a tube centered on the reference path. However, a conventional fixed half-harmonic wall demands an a priori...

Distributed Delay Stabilizes Bistable Genetic Networks

Delay is an inherent feature of genetic regulatory networks. It represents the time required for the assembly of functional regulator proteins. The protein production process is complex, as it includes transcription, translocation, translation, folding, and oligomerization. Because these steps are noisy, the resulting...

Silent Mutation Misclassification and Unrecorded Covalent Bonds in the Protein Data Bank

Sequence differences between deposited macromolecular models and their UniProt references are recorded in the mmCIF category _struct_ref_seq_dif, and intentional substitutions are expected to populate _entity_poly.pdbx_mutation, the field that structured queries read. When a substitution is not declared, the difference...

Phospholipase Fluorogenic Probes and Molecular Determinants of Cyclic Guanosine Monophosphate-Adenosine Monophosphate Binding to Cyclic Oligonucleotide-Based Antiphage Signaling System CapV.

Cyclic oligonucleotide-based antiphage signaling systems (CBASS) protect bacteria from bacteriophage infection by producing cyclic nucleotide second messengers that activate downstream effector proteins. Cyclic guanosine monophosphate-adenosine monophosphate (cGAMP)-activated phospholipase in Vibrio (CapV) is a prevale...

Ultrasound-Independent Rapid Triage in Pediatric Appendicitis via Explainable AI

Ultrasonography (USG) is central to the diagnosis of pediatric appendicitis, but operator dependency and limited access can delay triage. This study aimed to develop an explainable machine learning model that estimates the USG-assisted clinical diagnosis of appendicitis from pre-imaging clinical and laboratory data alo...

PXL: a nucleic acid-binding module of the promyelocytic leukemia protein

It is reported that PML-1 itself harbors a previously structurally uncharacterized nucleic acid-binding domain, termed PXL, which is unique to isoform 1 and specifically binds G-rich oligonucleotides implicated in G-quadruplex formation and displays a strong in vitro preference for polyUG RNA.

Untranslated region rewiring defines a novel class of oncogene fusions.

This work defines a previously unrecognized class of oncogenic fusions that preserve protein structure but replace the 5' untranslated region (5' UTR), thereby rewiring translational regulation in cancer patients.

SPROTify: A protein-centric machine learning framework for small protein identification with validation in cancer proteomics.

In six cancer proteomics cohorts, 334 small-protein candidates were identified, including 36 differentially expressed small proteins (DESPs) exhibiting strong cancer-type specificity, suggesting specialized functional roles in tumor biology and underscore the potential of SPROTify as a robust, protein-centric engine fo...

Label-Free YaxAB Nanopore Fingerprinting of Cancer-Associated Single-Residue Bcl-xL Variants.

Resolving cancer-associated protein variants remains difficult when variants share similar molecular masses and folded structures. Conventional assays often require labels or provide ensemble-averaged readouts, limiting their ability to resolve subtle variant differences. Here, a YaxAB nanopore workflow is presented fo...

ReproBAIT: Can coding agents build their own biological AI tools?

Large language models are increasingly competent at leveraging scientific knowledge and existing computational tools to execute complex workflows. At present, little information exists on their ability to reconstruct tools when given limited descriptions of such tools. We introduce an evaluation titled ReproBAIT (Repro...

Spindle Pole Coupling Failure as a Progressive Driver of Differentiation Suppression in Cancer Initiation

Background: Current cancer initiation models, including multi-hit genomic models and chromosomal instability (CIN) frameworks, do not account for a mechanistically distinct upstream event: progressive protein coupling failure at the spindle pole during mitosis. We propose a novel hypothesis in which coupling failure am...
