Protein domains are conserved structural and functional units that serve as building blocks of proteins. Through evolutionary expansion, domain families are represented by multiple members in diverse configurations with other domains, evolving new specificities for their interacting partners. Here, we develop a structure-based interface analysis to comprehensively map domain interfaces from experimental and predicted structures, including interfaces with macromolecules and intraprotein interfaces. We hypothesized that comprehensive contact mapping of domains could yield new insights into domain selectivity, conservation of domain-domain interfaces across proteins, and identify conserved post-translational modifications (PTMs), relative to interaction interfaces, allowing for the inference of specific effects due to PTMs or mutations. We applied this approach to the human SH2 domain family, a modular unit central to phosphotyrosine-mediated signaling, identifying a novel approach to understanding binding selectivity and evidence of coordinated regulation of SH2 domain binding interfaces by tyrosine and serine/threonine phosphorylation and acetylation. These findings suggest multiple signaling systems can regulate protein activity and SH2 domain interactions in a coordinated manner. We provide the extensive features of the human SH2 domain family and this modular approach as an open source Python package for COmprehensive Domain Interface Analysis of Contacts (CoDIAC).

Leveraging Bayesian Networks for Consensus Network Construction and Multi-Method Feature Selection to Decode Disease Prediction
Constructing reliable microbiome co-occurrence networks and identifying disease-associated taxa remain major challenges in microbiome research due to variability introduced by different inference algorithms. To overcome these limitations, we present CMIMN, a novel R package that uses a Bayesian network framework based on conditional mutual information to infer robust microbial interaction networks...

Cadmium-induced gut dysbiosis precedes the onset of hippocampus-dependent learning and memory deficits in mice
Background: Cadmium (Cd) is a heavy metal recognized as a neurotoxicant. However, the mechanisms underlying its neurotoxicity remain poorly understood. The gut-brain axis, a bidirectional communication pathway between the central nervous system and the gut microbiome, has been linked to various neurological disorders. Because the gut microbiome is a known target of Cd, it is important to investiga...

Transfer Learning and Permutation-Invariance improving Predicting Genome-wide, Cell-Specific and Directional Interventions Effects of Complex Systems
With the advent of precision medicine, single-drug treatments may not fully satisfy the pursuit of precision medicine. However, single-drug treatments have accumulated a large amount of data and a considerable number of deep learning models. In this context, using transfer learning to effectively leverage the existing vast amount of single-compound intervention effect data to build models that can...

Genome-wide consensus transcriptional signatures identify synaptic pruning linking Alzheimer's disease and epilepsy
Alzheimer's disease (AD) and epilepsy (EP) share a complex bidirectional relationship, yet the molecular mechanisms underlying their comorbidity remain insufficiently explored. To identify potential consensus transcriptional programs across animal models and human patients with AD and EP, we conducted comprehensive genome-wide transcriptomic analyses of multiple datasets. Our investigation include...

Ribosome demand links transcriptional bursts to protein expression noise
Stochastic variation in protein expression generates phenotypic heterogeneity in a cell population and has an important role in antibiotic persistence, mutation penetrance, tumor growth and therapy resistance. Studies investigating molecular origins of noise have predominantly focused on the transcription process. However, the noise generated in the transcription process is further modulated by tr...

Gene regulatory network determinants of rapid recall in human memory CD4+ T cells
Rapid recall is the hallmark of memory T cells. While naive T cells require days to mount an effector response to a new threat, antigen-experienced memory T cells can produce cytokines within hours of the repeat encounter. The establishment of memory and control of rapid recall across lifespan is poorly understood, yet the mechanisms are fundamental to pathogen defense and immunological diseases. ...

Identification of Monotonically Classifying Pairs of Genes for Ordinal Disease Outcomes
In this study, we extend an existing classification method for identifying pairs of genes whose joint expression is associated with binary outcomes to ordinal multi-class outcomes, such as overall survival or disease progression. Our approach is motivated by the need for interpretable classifiers that can provide insights into the underlying biological mechanisms. It can be easily adapted to diffe...

High-content microscopy and machine learning characterize a cell morphology signature of NF1 genotype in Schwann cells
Neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) is a multi-system, autosomal dominant genetic disorder driven by the systemic loss of the NF1 protein neurofibromin. Loss of neurofibromin in Schwann cells is particularly detrimental, as the acquisition of a second-hit (e.g., complete loss of NF1) can lead to the development of plexiform neurofibromas (pNF). pNFs are painful, disfiguring tumors with an approximately...

Reduced glutathione levels in Enterococcus faecalis trigger metabolic and transcriptional compensatory adjustments during iron exposure.
Enterococcus faecalis, a facultative anaerobic pathogen and common constituent of the gastrointestinal microbiota, must navigate varying iron levels within the host. This study explores its response to iron supplementation in a glutathione-deficient mutant strain ({Delta}gsh). We examined the transcriptomic and metabolic responses of a glutathione synthetase mutant strain ({Delta}gsh) exposed to i...
