Sequence analysis of S2-ALDH BLAST screening of the Flavobacterium PL002 genome sequence42 led to identification of a coding region homologous to aldehyde dehydrogenase gene (1365 bp) coding for the hypothetical enzyme S2-ALDH of 454 amino acids, with calculated MW 49,062 (Supplementary Fig. 1S). Phylogenetic analysis of the S2-ALDH amino acid sequence in…

Cell culture Human glioblastoma cells (U87MG and U87MG-Luc) and human embryonic kidney cells (HEK293) were obtained from the American Type Culture Collection (Manassas, Va.). Cells were cultured in Dulbecco’s Modified Eagle Medium supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum (Gibco™ Fetal Bovine Serum South America, Thermo Scientific Fisher-US), 2 mM l-glutamine, 50 U/ml…

DNM filtering in 100,000 Genomes Project We analysed DNMs called in 13,949 parent–offspring trios from 12,609 families from the rare disease programme of the 100,000 Genomes Project. The rare disease cohort includes individuals with a wide array of diseases, including neurodevelopmental disorders, cardiovascular disorders, renal and urinary tract disorders, ophthalmological…

Introduction Antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) have been studied for decades as a promising cancer treatment. As compared to conventional chemotherapy, ADCs have a larger therapeutic window because of their ability to target antigen-expressing tumor cells.1 As ADC drug development technology continues to evolve, several ADC drugs are being introduced to the…

Significance Interferon (IFN)-mediated antiviral responses serve as the first line of the host innate immune defense against viral infection. Here we identify a previously uncharacterized protein designated phospholipase A2 inhibitor and LY6/PLAUR domain-containing protein (PINLYP), which is essential for embryonic development and plays an important role in type I IFN…

Computational design Protein modeling and design was performed with Rosetta version 3.5 (2015.19.57819)35,37. Python and shell scripts for generating input from Rosetta and analyzing from Rosetta are available at: github.com/raman-lab/biosensor_design The high-resolution TtgR structure co-crystalized with tetracycline was selected as the starting point for computational design (PDB: 2UXH)28. The structure…

Introduction Carrión’s disease is a vector-borne biphasic illness restricted to the South American Andes, with Peru as the most affected country. 1 Gomes C Pons MJ Del Valle Mendoza J Ruiz J Carrion’s disease: an eradicable illness?. The causative agent, Bartonella bacilliformis, is transmitted to humans by sandflies (Lutzomyia spp)….

INTRODUCTION Charles R. Darwin documented inbreeding depression as growth disadvantages from self-fertilization compared to outcrossing in many plants (1). Prevailing hypotheses suggest that inbreeding depression results from the exposure of deleterious recessive alleles and/or loss of overdominant alleles due to increased homozygosity (2, 3) or reduced recombination frequency in some…
