Continuing our studies of the effect of like-charged residues on protein-folding mechanisms, in this work, we investigated, by means of NMR spectroscopy and molecular-dynamics simulations, two short fragments of the human Pin1 WW domain [hPin1(14-24); hPin1(15-23)] and one single point mutation system derived from hPin1(14-24) in which the original charged residues were replaced with non-polar alanine residues. cord-007199-ol2du7ph 2008 cord-009716-oxahu8nz 2006 cord-009730-lc8712xm 2008 cord-010307-sxh5mq1q 2005 cord-010628-71rkpco4 2006 cord-013443-x74uxdi4 2020 cord-018103-czjjnlkf 2006 We have developed a web-based application program called FSFinder2 for predicting frameshift sites of general type. In previous work we developed a program called FSFinder (Frameshift Signal Finder) for predicting -1 and +1 frameshift sites [5] . In previous experimental results of testing FSFinder2 on ~190 genomic and partial DNA sequences showed that it predicted frameshift sites efficiently and with greater sensitivity and specificity than other programs, because it focused on the overlapping regions of ORFs and prioritized candidate signals (For -1 frameshifts, sensitivity was 0.88 and specificity 0.97; for +1 frameshifts, sensitivity was 0.91 and specificity 0.94) [5] [6] [7] . coli K12 genome sequence, we found 18,401 frameshift sites after the X XXY YYZ motif. Among these sequences, 11,530 frameshift sites included secondary structure such as pseudoknots or stem-loops. Among these sites, 11 sites including 3 known frameshift sites were considered significant based on the gene length, shape and the length of overlapping region. cord-018865-melttpiq 2012 cord-022955-vy0qgtll 2005 In order to understand the molecular basis of the enzyme-substrate binding mechanism, we employ the synthetic peptide and mass spectrometry-based approaches to investigate the significance of selected amino acid residues that are flanking both sides of the SARS-CoV 3CL pro cleavage site. To contribute to the assignment of a physiological role to genomic-derived peptidases and to make them more accessible for the drug discovery process, we have undertaken a program consisting of mRNA expression profiling, full-length recombinant expression in insect cells, purification and determination of the catalytic activity for the human proteolytic enzymes. This comprehensive analysis of the local backbone properties of SGTI in the free and in the complex form made possible to identify conformational similarities and differences responsible for its efficient binding to the enzyme, and provides a good basis for further studying the structural aspects of protease inhibitor specificity. cord-024166-t3qxscbp 2008 cord-024619-0wihqs9i 2020 cord-028681-e2zh6092 2020 cord-034684-ehaiqye5 2020 cord-048327-xgwbl8em 2006 cord-103085-vf4qyvft 2020 Using Brownian dynamics simulations, we observe a twoto eight-fold decrease in the rate of ligand binding to the primary binding site of neuraminidase due to the presence of glycans. We have utilized BD to estimate the rates of binding of small molecules to the primary (i.e. active/catalytic) and secondary (i.e. hemadsorption) binding sites of influenza neuraminidase in glycosylated and unglycosylated states. The protein-ligand atom pairs were taken from crystal structures of ligands in the primary and secondary sites of neuraminidase for each monomer, and simulations were run for the full tetramer. Keeping in mind the primary and secondary binding sites are located just beneath the glycans (Figure 1) , the size and flexibility of the glycans here shows that they have the capability to "shield" the binding sites from ligand association. (A) The glycan structures from the MD simulations show a moderate association rate inhibition to the primary binding site irrespective of ligand chosen. cord-259195-bmz8995u 2013 cord-260657-yf8fvx7k 2005 cord-262318-qpztmdnw 2020 cord-263033-4790dhc5 2015 cord-267326-355q6k6k 2018 This study shows that spatial factors (e.g., reservoirs/tributaries, land use) are the main drivers of the viral community structure in tropical freshwater ecosystems. However, up till now, studies of land use impacts on the virome community in freshwater ecosystems are still limited as they mainly rely on traditional methodology (culture-based method or qPCR/RT-qPCR), which focuses on limited human virus targets without considering the whole picture of the viral community in the water environment (Corsi et al., 2014; Lenaker et al., 2017) . Thus, the objectives of this study were to: 1) investigate the overall virome distribution and diversity in diverse freshwater ecosystems (reservoirs/tributaries) in a tropical environment, 2) compare the virome community based on the different land use patterns, 3) assess the extent of human-related pathogenic viruses in surface waters, especially emerging zoonotic and human-related viruses, which may have been undetected before. cord-271514-sls3bsm0 2020 cord-274409-4ugdxbmy 2020 title: Mutational analysis and assessment of its impact on proteins of SARS-CoV-2 genomes from India Further, constitution of ''Disease'' mutations in genomes from asymptomatic people was mere 11% but those from deceased patients was over three folds higher at 38% indicating contribution of these mutations to the pathophysiology of the SARS-CoV-2. With a definitive possibility of India becoming the most affected country by SARS-CoV-2 in near future and the demographic burden involved, its pertinent to be analyze the accumulating variations in the genome accounting for possible changes in protein and their potential to alter the virus in any manner. Herein we extend our study using the same congregation of sequences to analyze the nature and composition of the observed mutations and their impact on proteins of SARS-CoV-2. The distribution of Disease and Neutral variants across the different genes of SARS-CoV-2 has been shown in Table 4 and Supplementary file 5. cord-275307-d7htyfcl 2015 Development of a novel bioinformatics pipeline to detect highconfidence SOX cleavage sites across the transcriptome following PARE Prior analyses of individual mRNAs indicated that the KSHV RNase SOX cuts at specific locations within the RNA, in a manner dependent on the sequence surrounding the cleavage site [5] . This example shows the expected distribution for a cut site followed by exonucleolytic degradation due PARE libraries from two replicates of SOX-expressing or GFP control cells and extracted the 5'' end of each mapped read, which represents the cleavage site (S1 Table) . Indeed, the sequences flanking the set of reproducible SOX cut sites (identified with a confidence level of 99.99%) were a closer match to the motif compared to those surrounding GFP-specific fragment ends, as shown by the distribution of the log likelihood scores (Fig 6A) . cord-276405-yfvu83r9 2020 cord-285910-rw2byz31 2002 cord-289443-46w52de3 2015 cord-300117-rlpzejjt 2020 cord-304421-xpj6c0vx 1999 cord-314166-79323mzd 2006 cord-315951-5gsbtfag 2004 cord-316968-rowoylge 2006 cord-317061-0bx704ao 2015 The nsp5 of the newly emerging Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus (MERS-CoV) was identified as 3CLpro and its canonical cleavage sites (between nsps) were predicted based on sequence alignment, but the cleavability of these cleavage sites remains to be experimentally confirmed and putative non-canonical cleavage sites (inside one nsp) within the pp1a/1ab awaits further analysis. Some cleavage sites have been identified and confirmed by previous studies, including three cleavage sites of PLpros of human coronavirus 229E (HCoV 229E), mouse hepatitis virus (MHV), SARS-CoV, MERS-CoV and infectious bronchitis virus (IBV), whose cleavages release the first 3 non-structural proteins (Bonilla et al., 1995; Kilianski et al., 2013; Lim and Liu, 1998; Ziebuhr et al., 2007) . In order to set up a more moderate and balanced criteria for protease cleavage site identification, we compared six scanning conditions with different stringency to systematically predict the 3CLpro cleavage sites on pp1a/1ab of five coronaviruses including MERS-CoV. To rapidly evaluate the proteolysis activity of MERS-CoV 3CLpro toward the predicted cleavage sites of different substrates, a sensitive luciferase-based biosensor assay was adopted. cord-321150-ev6acl7b 2017 cord-322129-uyswj4ow 2020 cord-327069-vjlisnui 2017 cord-328681-jf2mj16z 2000 cord-332165-31tbc31x 2019 cord-332855-u0amf1oh 2019 cord-332948-h297ukuu 2020 cord-336034-13u8njtt 2009 cord-338980-pygykil7 2016 cord-341968-uc8i9h0m 2019 cord-346532-4xpnd93d 2020 cord-346965-0oq2n0af 2008 The characteristics between interface and noninterface portions of a protein surface, such as sequence conservation, proportions of amino acids, secondary structure, solvent accessibility and side-chain conformational entropy, are often used to distinguish the specificity of local structures relating to protein binding function. The method relies on a simplified representation of the chemical groups found in amino acid side-chains to identify functional sites from a single protein structure and a number of its sequence homologs. (2006) improved previous approaches by combining two known measures of ''functionality'' in proteins, i.e. cleft volume and residue conservation, to develop a method for identifying the location of ligand-binding pockets in proteins. (2006) applied an SVM method to predict DNA-binding sites using the features including amino acid sequence, profile of evolutionary conservation of sequence positions, and low-resolution structural information. (2006) developed a method to predict both protein-protein binding site location and interface type (obligate or non-obligate) using a Bayesian network in combination with surface patch analysis. cord-351115-dy81dtnk 2020 cord-356264-q0yqnlyl 2020
