Background: Subcellular localization prediction of protein is an important component of bioinformatics, which has great importance for drug design and other applications. A multitude of computational tools for proteins subcellular location have been developed in the recent decades, however, existing methods differ in the protein sequence representation techniques and classification algorithms adopted.

Results: In this paper, we firstly introduce two kinds of protein sequences encoding schemes: dipeptide information with space and Gapped k-mer information. Then, the Gapped k-mer calculation method which is based on quad-tree is also introduced.

Conclusions: >From the prediction results, this method not only reduces the dimension, but also improves the prediction precision of protein subcellular localization.

The ABORTED MICROSPORES (AMS) gene is crucial for tapetal cell development and pollen formation, but its role in Upland cotton (Gossypium hirsutum) has not been previously documented. This study identified GhAMS11 as a key transcription factor, with its high expression specifically observed during the S4-S6 stages of anther development, a critical period for tapetal activity and pollen formation. Subcellular localization confirmed that GhAMS11 was located in the nucleus.

Article Synopsis
  • UBE3A/E6AP expression abnormalities are linked to neurological disorders like Angelman syndrome and autism, with three protein isoforms existing that have unique functions and cellular roles.
  • Research shows the isoforms differ structurally, particularly in their N-terminal regions, affecting their ability to bind to the proteasome and multimerize, which is crucial for their proper activation.
  • Advanced techniques, including NMR spectroscopy, reveal that some isoforms have dynamic features that could influence their response to oxidative stress, enhancing the understanding of UBE3A's functions and potential therapeutic targets for related disorders.

Defining the subcellular distribution of all human proteins and their remodeling across cellular states remains a central goal in cell biology. Here, we present a high-resolution strategy to map subcellular organization using organelle immunocapture coupled to mass spectrometry. We apply this workflow to a cell-wide collection of membranous and membraneless compartments.
