    Evaluation of Gremlin-1 as a therapeutic target in metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis

    Paul Horn, Jenny Norlin ... Philip N Newsome
    Antibody-mediated neutralisation of Gremlin-1 was ineffective in treating fibrosis in metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitits, likely due to low hepatic expression in a subset of myofibroblasts and redundant Gremlin-1 signalling.

    A covariation analysis reveals elements of selectivity in quorum sensing systems

    Samantha Wellington Miranda, Qian Cong ... E Peter Greenberg
    The extension of covariation analyses to proteins that coevolve but do not physically interact enabled identification of selectivity residues in quorum sensing proteins, providing insight into the evolution of signaling systems.

    Large-scale determination of previously unsolved protein structures using evolutionary information

    Sergey Ovchinnikov, Lisa Kinch ... David Baker
    A new method of protein structure prediction that incorporates residue–residue co-evolution information into the Rosetta structure prediction program was used to develop models for 58 large protein families that had no previous structural information.

    Robust and accurate prediction of residue–residue interactions across protein interfaces using evolutionary information

    Sergey Ovchinnikov, Hetunandan Kamisetty, David Baker
    Co-evolving residue pairs in the different components of a protein complex almost always make contact across the protein–protein interface, thus providing powerful restraints for the modeling of protein complexes.

    Analysis of SMAD1/5 target genes in a sea anemone reveals ZSWIM4-6 as a novel BMP signaling modulator

    Paul Knabl, Alexandra Schauer ... Grigory Genikhovich
    ChIP-seq analysis reveals BMP signaling targets in a cnidarian and identifies ZSWIM4-6 as a dampener of the pSMAD1/5 gradient and a potential conveyor of the BMP-mediated gene repression.

    GLI transcriptional repression regulates tissue-specific enhancer activity in response to Hedgehog signaling

    Rachel K Lex, Zhicheng Ji ... Steven A Vokes
    GLI3 represses Hedgehog target gene expression by regulating histone modifications at a subset of tissue-specific GLI-bound enhancers.

    Residue proximity information and protein model discrimination using saturation-suppressor mutagenesis

    Anusmita Sahoo, Shruti Khare ... Raghavan Varadarajan
    Experimental determination of residue contacts from mutational data allows model discrimination and identification of in vivo functional conformations of proteins.

    Striking parallels between dorsoventral patterning in Drosophila and Gryllus reveal a complex evolutionary history behind a model gene regulatory network

    Matthias Pechmann, Nathan James Kenny ... Siegfried Roth
    Crucial functions of Toll signalling during dorsoventral axis formation might have evolved convergently in flies and crickets.

    In vitro reconstitution reveals major differences between human and bacterial cytochrome c synthases

    Molly C Sutherland, Deanna L Mendez ... Robert G Kranz
    Despite the known heme attachment motif (CXXCH) in all c-type cytochromes, attachment elements recognized by human and bacterial cytochrome c biogenesis pathways are distinct, providing clear targets for differential inhibitors.

    Uncovering the basis of protein-protein interaction specificity with a combinatorially complete library

    Thuy-Lan V Lite, Robert A Grant ... Michael T Laub
    A generalizable approach to understanding the logic of molecular recognition reveals the contributions of individual residues to the specificity of protein-protein interactions.
