Published: January 2021

Understanding protein-protein interactions (PPIs) is vital to reveal the function mechanisms in cells. Thus, predicting and identifying PPIs is one of the fundamental problems in system biology. Various high-throughput experimental and computation methods have been developed to predict PPIs. Here, we provide a straightforward guide of using the program "SPRINT" to predict the PPIs on an interactome level in an organism. First, some installation guides and input file formats are described. Then, the commands and options to run SPRINT are discussed with examples. In addition, some notes on possible extended installation and usage of SPRINT are given.

Background: Colon adenocarcinoma (COAD) is a leading cause of cancer-related mortality worldwide. Transient receptor potential vanilloid 4 (TRPV4), a calcium-permeable non-selective cation channel, has been implicated in various cancers, including COAD. This study investigates the role of TRPV4 in colon adenocarcinoma and elucidates its potential mechanism via the ferroptosis pathway.

Introduction: The DeepMind's AlphaFold (AF) has revolutionized biomedical research by providing both experts and non-experts with an invaluable tool for predicting protein structures. However, while AF is highly effective for predicting structures of rigid and globular proteins, it is not able to fully capture the dynamics, conformational variability, and interactions of proteins with ligands and other biomacromolecules.

Areas Covered: In this review, we present a comprehensive overview of the latest advancements in 3D model predictions for biomacromolecules using AF.

Background: Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a complex and incurable autoimmune disease, so several drug remission for SLE symptoms have been developed and used at present. However, treatment varies by patient and disease activity, and existing medications for SLE were far from satisfactory. Novel drug targets to be found for SLE therapy are still needed.
