The successful prediction of protein subcellular localization directly from protein primary sequence is useful to protein function prediction and drug discovery. In this paper, by using the concept of pseudo amino acid composition (PseAAC), the mycobacterial proteins are studied and predicted by support vector machine (SVM) and increment of diversity combined with modified Mahalanobis Discriminant (IDQD). The results of jackknife cross-validation for 450 non-redundant proteins show that the overall predicted successful rates of SVM and IDQD are 82.2% and 79.1%, respectively. Compared with other existing methods, SVM combined with PseAAC display higher accuracies.

Neurons communicate through neurotransmission at highly specialized junctions called synapses. Each neuron forms numerous synaptic connections, consisting of presynaptic and postsynaptic terminals. Upon the arrival of an action potential, neurotransmitters are released from the presynaptic site and diffuse across the synaptic cleft to bind specialized receptors at the postsynaptic terminal.

Decabromodiphenyl ethane (DBDPE), a key alternative to deca-BDE (BDE-209), has been ubiquitous in the receiving ecosystem. However, little is known about its uptake process and fate in plants. Here, the plant absorption, distribution, and metabolism of C-DBDPE under two distinct exposure pathways (i.

RAF protein kinases are major RAS effectors that function by phosphorylating MEK. Although all three RAF isoforms share a conserved RAS binding domain and bind to GTP-loaded RAS, only ARAF uniquely enhances RAS activity. Here we uncovered the molecular basis of ARAF in regulating RAS activation.

Adenosine-to-inosine (A-to-I) editing, catalyzed by adenosine deaminases acting on RNA (ADARs), is a prevalent post-transcriptional modification that is vital for numerous biological functions. Given that this modification impacts global gene expression, RNA localization, and innate cellular immunity, dysregulation of A-to-I editing has unsurprisingly been linked to a variety of cancers and other diseases. However, our current understanding of the underpinning mechanisms that connect dysregulated A-to-I editing and disease processes remains limited.

Antibody (Ab) crosslinking of HLA class II (HLA II) molecules on the surface of endothelial cells (ECs) triggers proliferative and prosurvival intracellular signaling, which are implicated in promoting chronic Ab-mediated rejection (cAMR). Despite the importance of cAMR in transplant medicine, the mechanisms involved remain incompletely understood. Here, we examined the regulation of yes-associated protein (YAP) nuclear cytoplasmic localization and phosphorylation in human ECs challenged with Abs that bind HLA II, which are strongly associated with cAMR.
