The subcellular localization of Long non-coding RNAs (LncRNAs) is a pivotal research area with profound implications for understanding underlying molecular mechanisms, involvement in pathological processes, and regulation of gene expression. Traditional machine learning based methods often rely on k-mer frequencies for classification, ignoring the global features of LncRNAs. More recent methods based on deep learning have utilized sequence and graph models for LncRNA classification. However, while these methods could improve their combination of LncRNA features, they still possess limitations, for example, ignoring the fact that mutations could occur in LncRNAs. Simultaneously, it employs the Shapelet model to extract local features of the most representative k-mer among different LncRNA classes. Furthermore, gShapeLnoc combines global and local feature representations for predicting the subcellular localization of LncRNAs. We have evaluated the performance of the gShapeLnoc algorithm on a real dataset, and the results demonstrate that it outperforms existing state-of-the-art methods in terms of accuracy.

Tropomyosin is an actin-binding protein (ABP) which protects actin filaments from cofilin-mediated disassembly. Distinct tropomyosin isoforms have long been hypothesized to differentially sort to subcellular actin networks and impart distinct functionalities. Nevertheless, a mechanistic understanding of the interplay between Tpm isoforms and their functional contributions to actin dynamics has been lacking.

Motivation: Representation learning has revolutionized sequence-based prediction of protein function and subcellular localization. Protein networks are an important source of information complementary to sequences, but the use of protein networks has proven to be challenging in the context of machine learning, especially in a cross-species setting.
Results: We leveraged the STRING database of protein networks and orthology relations for 1,322 eukaryotes to generate network-based cross-species protein embeddings.

Immunoelectron Microscopy (IEM) is a technique that combines specific immunolabeling with high-resolution electron microscopic imaging to achieve precise spatial localization of biomolecules at the subcellular scale (< 10 nm) by using high-electron-density markers such as colloidal gold and quantum dots. As a core tool for analyzing the distribution of proteins, organelle interactions, and localization of disease pathology markers, it has irreplaceable value, especially in synapse research, pathogen-host interaction mechanism, and tumor microenvironment analysis. According to the differences in labeling sequence and sample processing, the IEM technology system can be divided into two categories: the first is pre-embedding labeling, which optimizes the labeling efficiency through the pre-exposure of antigenic epitopes and is especially suitable for the detection of low-abundance and sensitive antigens; the second is post-embedding labeling, which relies on the low-temperature resin embedding (e.

Hormones are important bioactive molecules that regulate the development, function, and homeostasis of tissues/organs via binding to hormone receptors (HRs) in target cells. Although human HRs are essential for both basic research and drug development, a comprehensive analysis of them is still lacking. Here, we present a systematic bioinformatic investigation of all known human HRs, characterizing their genomic distributions, biological functions, subcellular localizations, and expression patterns in various cell types and tissues/organs.

Although floral morphology in ornamental chrysanthemums has been widely investigated, its genetic basis in medicinal varieties such as Chrysanthemum morifolium cv. 'Hangju' remains largely unexplored, despite its direct relevance to both capitulum development and medicinal quality. To address this gap, we performed transcriptome profiling of ray and disc florets from wild-type and mutant plants, which led to the identification of two MYB-related transcription factor genes, CmDIV-like and CmRAD1, as differentially expressed and potentially associated with altered floral symmetry.
