BACKGROUND: Although elevated serum levels of visinin-like protein 1 (VILIP-1), a neuron-specific calcium sensor protein, are associated with ischaemic stroke, only a single study has evaluated VILIP-1 as a biomarker of traumatic brain injury (TBI). ...
BACKGROUND: The conjugation of ubiquitin to a substrate protein (protein ubiquitylation), which involves a sequential process--E1 activation, E2 conjugation and E3 ligation, is crucial to the regulation of protein function and activity in eukaryotes....
To understand the mechanism for assembly of Lys-linked polyubiquitin degradation signals, we previously demonstrated that the E6AP/UBE3A ligase harbors two functionally distinct E2∼ubiquitin-binding sites: a high-affinity Site 1 required for E6AP Cys...

Understanding the conformational characteristics of protein complexes in solution is crucial for a deeper insight in their biological function. Molecular dynamics simulations performed on high performance computing plants and with modern simulation t...
Infrared (IR) absorption provides important chemical fingerprints of biomolecules. Protein secondary structure determination from IR spectra is tedious since its theoretical interpretation requires repeated expensive quantum-mechanical calculations i...
Mass spectrometry (MS)-based ubiquitinomics provides system-level understanding of ubiquitin signaling. Here we present a scalable workflow for deep and precise in vivo ubiquitinome profiling, coupling an improved sample preparation protocol with dat...
Protein-protein interactions play critical roles in biology, but the structures of many eukaryotic protein complexes are unknown, and there are likely many interactions not yet identified. We take advantage of advances in proteome-wide amino acid coe...
BACKGROUND: Degrons are short linear motifs, bound by E3 ubiquitin ligase to target protein substrates to be degraded by the ubiquitin-proteasome system. Mutations leading to deregulation of degron functionality disrupt control of protein abundance d...

A new deep neural network based on the WaveNet architecture (WNN) is presented, which is designed to grasp specific patterns in the NMR spectra. When trained at a fixed non-uniform sampling (NUS) schedule, the WNN benefits from pattern recognition of...
