De Novo Assembly and Annotation of 11 Diverse Shrub Willow (Salix) Genomes Reveals Novel Gene Organization in Sex-Linked Regions

Brennan Hyden et al.

Summary: This study presents de novo assemblies and annotations of 11 shrub willow genomes from six species, revealing remarkable differences in copy number variation of candidate sex determination genes and genes involved in floral secondary metabolism. The findings provide valuable genomic resources for comparative studies and breeding programs. Additionally, the identification of a genotype producing only female descendants and the investigation of gene presence/absence variation in the mitochondrial genome shed light on unusual inheritance patterns.

Protein dynamics: The future is bright and complicated!

Kwangho Nam et al.

Summary: Biological life relies on motion, particularly the motion of proteins on various timescales. Understanding the relationship between protein structure, dynamics, and function is a significant challenge in biophysics and structural biology. Advances in concepts and methods provide opportunities to explore these connections further. This Perspective article focuses on the future directions of protein dynamics, particularly enzymes, and emphasizes the complexity of research questions, such as understanding high-order interaction networks and the connection between local and collective motions. The integration of experimental and computational techniques, along with the expansion of sequence and structure space, will play a crucial role in addressing these important questions.

Dynamics of Deoxynivalenol and Nivalenol Glucosylation in Wheat Cultivars Infected with Fusarium culmorum in Field Conditions-A 3Year Study (2018-2020)

Marcin Bryla et al.

Summary: This study evaluated the resistance of six cultivars of winter wheat to Fusarium head blight (FHB) and investigated the presence of deoxynivalenol (DON) and nivalenol (NIV) and their derivatives in the ears. High relative humidity above 80% was found to be a decisive factor for FHB incidence. All wheat cultivars showed the ability to convert DON and NIV into glucosides. These findings are important for understanding the extent of glucosylation of trichothecenes in different wheat cultivars.

Benchmarking the Accuracy of AlphaFold 2 in Loop Structure Prediction

Amy O. Stevens et al.

Summary: The inhibition of protein-protein interactions is a growing strategy in drug development, and protein loop regions are potential drug targets. AlphaFold 2 performs well in predicting protein loop structures, especially for short loops. However, as the length of the loop increases, the accuracy of AlphaFold 2's prediction decreases.

Molecular Origin of Internal Friction in Intrinsically Disordered Proteins

Debapriya Das et al.

Summary: Protein folding and dynamics are influenced by both thermal and viscosity effects, including external viscous drag from solvent molecules and internal friction within the polypeptide chain. The physical origin of internal friction in intrinsically disordered proteins remains unclear, with diffusive conformational dynamics dominated by segmental motion of the backbone. Polymer models with internal friction are used to describe the friction in complex biopolymeric systems such as intrinsically disordered proteins.

The Ribosome-Binding Mode of Trichothecene Mycotoxins Rationalizes Their Structure-Activity Relationships

Weijun Wang et al.

Summary: Trichothecenes, the most prevalent mycotoxins contaminating cereal grains, have complex binding interactions with 25S rRNA involving hydrogen bonds, nonpolar pi stacking interactions, and metal ion coordination interactions. Different substitutions at specific positions impact trichothecenes binding in distinct patterns, providing a structural framework for understanding their structure-activity relationships.

Loop Dynamics and Enzyme Catalysis in Protein Tyrosine Phosphatases

Rory M. Crean et al.

Summary: This study investigates the link between the dynamics of the WPD-loop and catalysis rates in human protein tyrosine phosphatase 1B (PTP1B) and YopH from Yersinia pestis. Computational simulations reveal key residues and structural features responsible for differences in loop dynamics, as well as pathways for allosteric communication in these enzymes. The findings shed light on how PTP enzymes in the family may adapt to environmental changes and regulate their catalytic activities.

Distribution, Function, and Evolution of a Gene Essential for Trichothecene Toxin Biosynthesis in Trichoderma

Santiago Gutierrez et al.

Summary: Trichothecenes are terpenoid toxins produced by fungi, including species of Trichoderma, with the biosynthetic gene cluster typically including the tri5 gene. Analysis of a wide range of Trichoderma species showed that some have tri5 but not the full tri cluster, suggesting potential competitive advantages for trichodiene production in certain species.
