There has been considerable progress in the development of computational methods for designing protein-protein interactions, but engineering high-affinity binders without extensive screening and maturation remains challenging. Here, we test a protein...
Adapted plant pathogens from various microbial kingdoms produce hundreds of unrelated small secreted proteins (SSPs) with elusive roles. Here, we used AlphaFold-Multimer (AFM) to screen 1879 SSPs of seven tomato pathogens for interacting with six def...
Currently, information on the higher-order structure of Stomatin, Prohibitin, Flotillin, and HflK/C (SPFH)-domain proteins is limited. Briefly, the coordinate information (Refined PH1511.pdb) of the stomatin ortholog, PH1511 monomer, was obtained usi...
In tandem mass spectrometry-based proteomics, proteins are digested into peptides by specific protease(s), but generally only a fraction of peptides can be detected. To characterize detectable proteotypic peptides, we have developed a series of metho...
Generating and analyzing overlapping peptides through multienzymatic digestion is an efficient procedure for de novo protein using from bottom-up mass spectrometry (MS). Despite improved instrumentation and software, de novo MS data analysis remains ...
To reach their final destinations, outer membrane proteins (OMPs) of gram-negative bacteria undertake an eventful journey beginning in the cytosol. Multiple molecular machines, chaperones, proteases, and other enzymes facilitate the translocation and...
In the recent COVID-19 pandemic, SARS-CoV-2 infection spread worldwide. TheĀ 3C-like protease (3CLpro) is a promising drug target for SARS-CoV-2. We constructed a deep learning-based convolutional neural network-quantitative structure-activity relat...
Proteolytic digestion of proteins by one or more proteases is a key step in shotgun proteomics, in which the proteolytic products, i.e., peptides, are taken as the surrogates of their parent proteins for further qualitative or quantitative analysis. ...
