Disruption of MeCP2-TCF20 complex underlies distinct neurodevelopmental disorders

Jian Zhou et al.

Summary: MeCP2 plays a critical role in Rett syndrome and MECP2 duplication syndrome. It interacts with a transcription factor, TCF20, at the chromatin interface, and together they regulate the expression of neuronal genes. Reduction of TCF20 partially rescues the behavioral deficits caused by MECP2 overexpression. A patient with a mutation in the PHF14 subunit of the TCF20 complex, disrupting the MeCP2-PHF14-TCF20 interaction, exhibits Rett-like neurological features.

AF2Complex predicts direct physical interactions in multimeric proteins with deep learning

Mu Gao et al.

Summary: This study introduces a method called AF2Complex, which uses neural network models developed for individual protein sequences in AlphaFold2 to accurately predict the structure of multimeric protein complexes without retraining. The method achieves higher accuracy in predicting protein-protein interactions compared to common approaches and shows significant improvement over the AlphaFold version for multimeric proteins. The effectiveness of AF2Complex is validated on benchmark sets and the E. coli proteome, and high-confidence models of sought-after assemblies in the cytochrome c biogenesis system I are presented.

TEAD family transcription factors in development and disease

Laura Currey et al.

Summary: The balance between stem cell potency and lineage specification relies on the integration of extrinsic and intrinsic cues to influence gene expression through transcription factors. The Hippo signalling pathway, particularly involving YAP, TAZ, and TEAD proteins, plays a key role in regulating organ size and progenitor self-renewal during development. Studies are revealing the intricate roles of TEAD proteins in maintaining the balance between stem cell self-renewal and differentiation in various developmental stages.

Highly accurate protein structure prediction with AlphaFold

John Jumper et al.

Summary: Proteins are essential for life, and accurate prediction of their structures is a crucial research problem. Current experimental methods are time-consuming, highlighting the need for accurate computational approaches to address the gap in structural coverage. Despite recent progress, existing methods fall short of atomic accuracy in protein structure prediction.

IUPred3: prediction of protein disorder enhanced with unambiguous experimental annotation and visualization of evolutionary conservation

Gabor Erdos et al.

Summary: Intrinsically disordered proteins and protein regions carry out important biological functions and exhibit multifaceted roles in evolutionary behavior. Computational methods, such as IUPred, play crucial roles in characterizing IDRs. The updated version of IUPred introduces new features to enhance prediction capabilities, including novel smoothing functions and tools for exploring evolutionary conservation of protein disorder.

Molecular basis for bipartite recognition of histone H3 by the PZP domain of PHF14

Shuangping Zheng et al.

Summary: The protein PHF14 plays a critical role in recognizing unmodified histone H3(1-34) through a bipartite recognition mechanism. PHF14 utilizes distinct surfaces to engage different segments of H3(1-34) and is sensitive to specific modifications on H3 residues. This study provides insights into the repressive function of PHF14 and its regulation by histone modifications.

The metabesity factor HMG20A potentiates astrocyte survival and reactive astrogliosis preserving neuronal integrity

Petra Lorenzo et al.

Summary: The study shows that HMG20A is predominantly expressed in hypothalamic astrocytes, with its upregulation in obesity and glucose intolerant conditions playing a key role in maintaining neuronal network and glucose homeostasis. Depletion of HMG20A in astrocytes leads to impaired function, which can be reversed by ORY1001 treatment.
