Article Abstract

The functions of proteins are mainly determined by their subcellular localizations in cells. Currently, many computational methods for predicting the subcellular localization of proteins have been proposed. However, these methods require further improvement, especially when used in protein representations. In this study, we present an embedding-based method for predicting the subcellular localization of proteins. We first learn the functional embeddings of KEGG/GO terms, which are further used in representing proteins. Then, we characterize the network embeddings of proteins on a protein-protein network. The functional and network embeddings are combined as novel representations of protein locations for the construction of the final classification model. In our collected benchmark dataset with 4,861 proteins from 16 locations, the best model shows a Matthews correlation coefficient of 0.872 and is thus superior to multiple conventional methods.

Sepsis-induced cardiomyopathy (SIC) is a serious complication of sepsis. The relationship between SIC and protein acetylation, particularly the balance between acetylation and deacetylation in cardiomyocyte subcellular structures, as well as how nuclear-mitochondrial coordination maintains standard antioxidant stress capacity, remains unclear. This study focused on exploring the nuclear-mitochondrial regulatory mechanisms formed by the interplay of Sirtuin 3 (SIRT3) and Forkhead box O3a (FOXO3a).

Background: Subcellular localisation is a determining factor of protein function. Mass spectrometry-based correlation profiling experiments facilitate the classification of protein subcellular localisation on a proteome-wide scale. In turn, static localisations can be compared across conditions to identify differential protein localisation events.

Functional characterization of two Caspase-1 transcripts that associated with ASC and NLRC3 in apoptosis and inflammatory response in large yellow croaker Larimichthys crocea.

As a member of the inflammatory caspases, Caspase-1 can increase the host inflammatory response against pathogen invasion and also function dominantly in apoptosis. In this study, we cloned and obtained two transcripts of Caspase-1 in large yellow croaker (Larimichthys crocea), namely Lc-Caspase-1_tv1 and Lc-Caspase-1_tv2. The ORF of Lc-Caspase-1_tv1 is 1,239 bp, whereas Lc-Caspase-1_tv2 is 1,167 bp in length, encoding a protein of 412 and 388 aa, and both of which contains a CARD and a CASc domain.

The development of multifunctional fluorescent organic materials capable of selective ion detection, subcellular targeting, and logical operations is a burgeoning area in chemical biology and materials science. Herein, we report the design and development of a novel acylhydrazone based fluorescent ligand (HSN·Cl), which exhibits a distinct "turn-on" emission response toward Zn ions and a subsequent "turn-off" response in the presence of sulfide ions (S). The molecular design incorporates structural elements that facilitate the ESIPT feature, conferring the probe with unique photophysical properties.

Indocyanine green (ICG) is a well-established near-infrared dye which has been used clinically for several decades. Recently, it has been utilised for fluorescence-guided surgery in a range of solid cancer types, including sarcoma, with the aim of reducing the positive margin rate. The increased uptake and retention of ICG within tumours, compared with normal tissue, gives surgeons a visual reference to aid resection when viewed through a near-infrared camera.
