AlphaFold 3 (AF3), an artificial intelligence (AI)-based software for protein complex structure prediction, represents a significant advancement in structural biology. Its flexibility and enhanced scalability have unlocked new applications in various fields, specifically in plant science, including improving crop resilience and predicting the structures of plant-specific proteins involved in stress responses, signalling pathways, and immune responses. Comparisons with existing tools, such as ClusPro and AlphaPulldown, highlight AF3’s unique strengths in sequence-based interaction predictions and its greater adaptability to various biomolecular structures. However, limitations persist, including challenges in modelling large complexes, protein dynamics, and structures from underrepresented plant proteins with limited evolutionary data. Additionally, AF3 encounters difficulties in predicting mutation effects on protein interactions and DNA binding, which can be improved with molecular dynamics and experimental validation. This review presents an overview of AF3’s advancements, using examples in plant and fungal research, and comparisons with existing tools. It also discusses current limitations and offers perspectives on integrating molecular dynamics and experimental validation to enhance its capabilities.

Searching reads from unknown origins in a reference database and finding evolutionarily similar genomes is central to many applications. Quantifying the similarity by estimating the distance between each read and matching references could further help downstream analyses such as taxonomic characterization or even placing the read on a reference phylogeny. Such distances can be computed using alignment. Since alignment becomes impractical for ultra-large reference databases, many use k-mer-based tools for downstream tasks, but these methods do not compute distances. We introduce krepp to compute the distance between a read and a genome using a maximum likelihood framework built around k-mers. We further introduce algorithms to place reads on a reference tree. Empirical evaluations show that krepp accurately estimates distances, scales well with large databases, and can place short reads coming from any part of the genome on a reference phylogeny. © The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2025.

Molecular pathology, such as high-throughput genomic and proteomic profiling, identifies precise disease targets from biopsies but require tissue dissociation, losing valuable histologic and spatial context. Emerging spatial multi-omic technologies now enable multiplexed visualization of genomic, proteomic, and epigenomic targets within a single tissue slice, eliminating the need for labeling multiple adjacent slices. Although early work focused on RNA (spatial transcriptomics), spatial technologies can now concurrently capture DNA, genome accessibility, histone modifications, and proteins with spatially-resolved single-cell resolution. This review outlines the principles, advantages, limitations, and potential for spatial technologies to advance dermatologic research. By jointly profiling multiple molecular channels, spatial multiomics enables novel studies of copy number variations, clonal heterogeneity, and enhancer dysregulation, replete with spatial context, illuminating the skin's complex heterogeneity. © 2024 The Authors

Oxidative stress, characterized by an imbalance between reactive oxygen species (ROS) and antioxidants, plays a pivotal role in inflammatory responses associated with both chronic diseases and acute injuries. In this study, OXidative Stress PREDictor (OxSpred), a supervised learning model tailored to accurately annotate the oxidative stress state of innate immune cells at the single-cell level, is introduced. Compared to the traditional gene-set-variation-analysis-based enrichment method, OxSpred demonstrates superior accuracy with an area under the receiver operating characteristic curve of 0.89 and offers interpretable embeddings with significant biological relevance. Using the predicted ROS states, precise elucidation and interpretation of the roles of novel innate immune cell subtypes can be achieved. Overall, OxSpred enhances the utility of single-cell transcriptomic datasets by providing a robust in silico method for determining intracellular oxidative stress states, thereby enriching the understanding of innate immune cell functions during inflammation. © 2024 The Author(s).

Transcriptional regulation by PHGDH drives amyloid pathology in Alzheimer's disease

Virtually all individuals aged 65 or older develop at least early pathology of Alzheimer's disease (AD), yet most lack disease-causing mutations in APP, PSEN, or MAPT, and many do not carry the APOE4 risk allele. This raises questions about AD development in the general population. Although transcriptional dysregulation has not traditionally been a hallmark of AD, recent studies reveal significant epigenomic changes in late-onset AD (LOAD) patients. We show that altered expression of the LOAD biomarker phosphoglycerate dehydrogenase (PHGDH) modulates AD pathology in mice and human brain organoids independent of its enzymatic activity. PHGDH has an uncharacterized role in transcriptional regulation, promoting the transcription of inhibitor of nuclear factor kappa-B kinase subunit alpha (IKKa) and high-mobility group box 1 (HMGB1) in astrocytes, which suppress autophagy and accelerate amyloid pathology. A blood-brain-barrier-permeable small-molecule inhibitor targeting PHGDH's transcriptional function reduces amyloid pathology and improves AD-related behavioral deficits. These findings highlight transcriptional regulation in LOAD and suggest therapeutic strategies beyond targeting familial mutations. © 2025 The Author(s)

Genome-scale metabolic networks in time and space

Current Opinion in systems biology 2018年 8卷 51-58页

Constraint-based models (CBMs) are key tools for elucidating the behavior of genome-scale metabolic networks, but the assumption of steady state hinders their application to spatiotemporally varying and multicellular systems. Models that integrate CBMs with kinetics to allow dynamic simulation through dynamic flux balance analysis (DFBA) can circumvent this problem as well as the limitations of purely kinetic models. With many technical barriers for DFBA overcome in recent years, applications traditionally focused on metabolic engineering have expanded to address problems such as evolution of microbial communities, functions of biomedically relevant biofilms, and diet effects on Parkinson's disease. By addressing substantial computational challenges, we expect that such hybrid metabolic models will pave the way towards whole-cell modeling. © 2017 Elsevier Ltd

Noise response in monomolecular closed systems

引用

Journal of the Chinese Chemical Society 2023年第3期70卷 747-758页

作者： Fajiculay, Erickson Hsu, Chao-Ping Institute of Chemistry Academia Sinica Taipei Taiwan Bioinformatics Program Institute of Statistical Science Taiwan International Graduate Program Academia Sinica Taipei Taiwan Institute of Bioinformatics and Structure Biology National Tsinghua University Hsinchu City Taiwan Physics Division National Center for Theoretical Sciences Taipei Taiwan Genome and Systems Biology Degree Program National Taiwan University Taipei Taiwan

One of the primary interests in understanding biological systems is the interaction between noise and cellular regulation. Noise levels can be altered by rate constant perturbations, which may result in an imbalance of important biological functions. Although the theory of noise localization can estimate noise perturbation response, it is currently limited to open systems, where the majority of biological networks belong. However, during their lifetime, some components of biological systems participate in reactions that can be categorized under a closed system. Therefore, a counterpart theory for closed systems is desirable. In this work, steady-state perturbations of monomolecular closed systems and ways to estimate the response of noise as (co)variances are explored. We extend the structural sensitivity analysis for analyzing noise response patterns by using additional clues derived from multinomial assumptions. We identified scenarios in which this combination might fail in noise prediction, which we call noise flip, arising from the nonlinear dependence of variance upon composition. Nevertheless, theoretical intuition and simulation show that noise flip diminishes with increasing system size. This work provides an efficient and scalable means to estimate noise responses with potential applications in model discrimination, network-wide response scanning, and reconstruction. © 2023 The Chemical Society Located in Taipei & Wiley-VCH GmbH.
