Proteomics is the comprehensive study of all aspects of protein behavior. The subfield of location proteomics is concerned with the systematic analysis of the subcellular location of proteins. In order to perform high-resolution, high-throughput analysis of all protein location patterns, automation is needed both for acquisition and analysis. Automated methods for analyzing subcellular location patterns in fluorescence microscope images have been developed and shown to work well for static 2D and 3D images of single cells. This chapter reviews this work and describes current efforts to extend these approaches, including classification of temporal patterns and building of generative models to represent location patterns.

Introduction: The neuron-specific K-Cl cotransporter KCC2 maintains low intracellular chloride levels, which are crucial for fast GABAergic and glycinergic neurotransmission. KCC2 also plays a pivotal role in the development of excitatory glutamatergic neurotransmission by promoting dendritic spine maturation. The cytoplasmic C-terminal domain (KCC2-CTD) plays a critical regulatory role in the molecular mechanisms controlling the cotransporter activity through dimerization, phosphorylation, and protein interaction.

Bombyx mori bidensovirus (BmBDV), a significant pathogen in the sericulture industry, holds a unique taxonomic position due to its distinct segmented single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) genome and the presence of a self-encoding DNA polymerase. However, the functions of viral non-structural proteins, such as NS2, remain unknown. This protein is hypothesized to play a role in viral replication and pathogenesis.

Plant lectin receptor-like kinases (LecRLKs) are plant membrane protein receptor kinases. Lectin-like receptor kinases play a crucial role in regulating plant growth, development, and responses to environmental stimuli. It can rapidly respond to both biotic and abiotic stresses while mediating mechanisms of plant immune responses.

White clover (Trifolium repens L.) is a high-quality leguminous forage, but its short rooting habit, poor transpiration tolerance, and drought tolerance, have become a key factor restricting its growth and cultivation. 1R-MYB transcription factors (TFs) are a significant subfamily of TFs in plants, playing a vital role in regulating plant responses to drought stress, however, knowledge about the role of 1R-MYB transcription factors in white clover is still limited.
