The EMC acts as a chaperone for membrane proteins.

Nature communications
Structure formation of membrane proteins is error-prone and thus requires chaperones that oversee this essential process in cell biology. The ER membrane protein complex (EMC) is well-defined as a transmembrane domain (TMD) insertase. In this study, ...

Consensus structure prediction of A. thaliana's MCTP4 structure using prediction tools and coarse grained simulations of transmembrane domain dynamics.

PloS one
Multiple C2 Domains and Transmembrane region Proteins (MCTPs) in plants have been identified as important functional and structural components of plasmodesmata cytoplasmic bridges, which are vital for cell-cell communication. MCTPs are endoplasmic re...

M-DeepAssembly: enhanced DeepAssembly based on multi-objective multi-domain protein conformation sampling.

BMC bioinformatics
BACKGROUND: Association and cooperation among structural domains play an important role in protein function and drug design. Despite remarkable advancements in highly accurate single-domain protein structure prediction through the collaborative effor...

Dual-Site Targeting by Peptide Inhibitors of the N-Terminal Domain of Hsp90: Mechanism and Design.

Journal of chemical information and modeling
Heat shock protein 90 (Hsp90) is a pivotal molecular chaperone crucial in the maturation of client proteins, positioning it as a significant target for cancer therapy. However, the design of effective Hsp90 inhibitors presents substantial challenges ...

DeepAssembly2: A Web Server for Protein Complex Structure Assembly Based on Domain-Domain Interactions.

Journal of molecular biology
Proteins often perform biological functions by forming complexes, thereby accurately predicting the structure of protein complexes is crucial to understanding and mastering their functions, as well as facilitating drug discovery. Protein monomeric st...

Simpler Protein Domain Identification Using Spectral Clustering.

Proteins
The decomposition of a biomolecular complex into domains is an important step to investigate biological functions and ease structure determination. A successful approach to do so is the SPECTRUS algorithm, which provides a segmentation based on spect...

Lessons from Deep Learning Structural Prediction of Multistate Multidomain Proteins-The Case Study of Coiled-Coil NOD-like Receptors.

International journal of molecular sciences
We test here the prediction capabilities of the new generation of deep learning predictors in the more challenging situation of multistate multidomain proteins by using as a case study a coiled-coil family of Nucleotide-binding Oligomerization Domain...

DPFunc: accurately predicting protein function via deep learning with domain-guided structure information.

Nature communications
Computational methods for predicting protein function are of great significance in understanding biological mechanisms and treating complex diseases. However, existing computational approaches of protein function prediction lack interpretability, mak...

Rational design of potent phosphopeptide binders to endocrine Snk PBD domain by integrating machine learning optimization, molecular dynamics simulation, binding energetics rescoring, and in vitro affinity assay.

European biophysics journal : EBJ
Human Snk is an evolutionarily conserved serine/threonine kinase essential for the maintenance of endocrine stability. The protein consists of a N-terminal catalytic domain and a C-terminal polo-box domain (PBD) that determines subcellular localizati...

Deciphering Cas9 specificity: Role of domain dynamics and RNA:DNA hybrid interactions revealed through machine learning and accelerated molecular simulations.

International journal of biological macromolecules
CRISPR/Cas9 technology is widely used for gene editing, but off-targeting still remains a major concern in therapeutic applications. Although Cas9 variants with better mismatch discrimination have been developed, they have significantly lower rates o...
