The diversity and functions of metallothioneins (MTs) in Archaea remain poorly understood. This study identifies 180 archaeal MTs from 406 genomes, revealing distinct evolutionary lineages and structural diversity. Phylogenetic analysis suggests a no...
Global regulators (GRs) are key transcription factors that orchestrate the expression of multiple genes, playing essential roles in stress responses, virulence, secondary metabolism, and antibiotic resistance-traits that make them powerful tools for ...
We have developed the program TwinCons, to detect noisy signals of deep ancestry of proteins or nucleic acids. As input, the program uses a composite alignment containing pre-defined groups, and mathematically determines a 'cost' of transforming one ...
The use of raw amino acid sequences as input for deep learning models for protein functional prediction has gained popularity in recent years. This scheme obliges to manage proteins with different lengths, while deep learning models require same-shap...
Signal peptides (SPs) are short amino acid sequences in the amino terminus of many newly synthesized proteins that target proteins into, or across, membranes. Bioinformatic tools can predict SPs from amino acid sequences, but most cannot distinguish ...
Proteins are the essential agents of all living systems. Even though they are synthesized as linear chains of amino acids, they must assume specific three-dimensional structures in order to manifest their biological activity. These structures are ful...
