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).

Genomic analysis of progenitors in viral infection implicates glucocorticoids as suppressors of plasmacytoid dendritic cell generation

Plasmacytoid Dendritic cells (pDCs) are the most potent producers of interferons, which are critical antiviral cytokines. pDC development is, however, compromised following a viral infection, and this phenomenon, as well as its relationship to conventional (c)DC development is still incompletely understood. By using lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus (LCMV) infection in mice as a model system, we observed that DC progenitors skewed away from pDC and toward cDC development during in vivo viral infection. Subsequent characterization of the transcriptional and epigenetic landscape of fms-like tyrosine kinase 3+ (Flt3+) DC progenitors and follow-up studies revealed increased apoptosis and reduced proliferation in different individual DC-progenitors as well as a profound type I interferon (IFN-I)-dependent ablation of pre-pDCs, but not pre-DC precursors, after both acute and chronic LCMV infections. In addition, integrated genomic analysis identified altered activity of 34 transcription factors in Flt3+ DC progenitors from infected mice, including two regulators of Glucocorticoid (GC) responses. Subsequent studies demonstrated that addition of GCs to DC progenitors led to downregulated pDC-primed-genes while upregulating cDC-primed-genes, and that endogenous GCs selectively decreased pDC, but not cDC, numbers upon in vivo LCMV infection. These findings demonstrate a significant ablation of pre-pDCs in infected mice and identify GCs as suppressors of pDC generation from early progenitors. This provides a potential explanation for the impaired pDC development following viral infection and links pDC numbers to the hypothalamic–pituitary–adrenal axis. Copyright © 2025 the Author(s).

Three-dimensional structures of proteins, experimental or predicted, show us how these molecular machines actually work. With the help of information on disease-related mutations, they can also show us how they malfunction in diseases. Such understanding, currently lacking for most human diseases, is an important first step before designing drugs or therapies to cure specific diseases. Here we used homology modeling to model human disease-related proteins, and studied structural characteristics of disease related' mutations and compared them with non synonymous SNPs. 1484 domains from 874 proteins were modeled, and together with experimentally determined structures of 369 domains they provided the structural coverage of 48% of total residues in 1237 human disease proteins. We found that disease-related mutations have statistically significantly preference to form clusters on protein surfaces. In contrast, the non-synonymous SNPs appear to be randomly distributed on the surface. We interpret these results as an indication that disease mutations affect protein-protein interaction interfaces. This interpretation is supported by the analysis of 8 experimentally determined complexes between disease proteins, where disease-related mutations are clearly located in the binding interface of proteins, while SNPs are not. The non-uniform distribution of disease mutations indicates that we can use this feature as guidance in modeling and evaluating human disease proteins and their complexes. We set up a resource for Disease Protein Models (DPM at http://***/DPM>. which can be used for studying the relation between disease and mutation / polymorphism sites in the context of protein 3D structures and complexes.

Protein evolution shapes pathogen adaptation-landscape, particularly in developing drug resistance. The rapid evolution of target proteins under antibiotic pressure leads to escape mutations, resulting in antibiotic resistance. A deep understanding of the evolutionary dynamics of antibiotic target proteins presents a plausible intervention strategy for disrupting the resistance trajectory. Mutations in Dihydropteroate synthase (DHPS), an essential folate pathway protein and sulfonamide antibiotic target, reduce antibiotic binding leading to anti-folate resistance. Deploying statistical analyses on the DHPS sequence-space and integrating deep mutational analysis with structure-based network-topology models, we identified critical DHPS subsequences. Our frustration landscape analysis suggests how conformational and mutational changes redistribute energy within DHPS substructures. We present an epistasis-based fitness prediction model that simulates DHPS adaptive walks, identifying residue positions that shape evolutionary constraints. Our optimality analysis revealed a substructure central to DHPS evolvability, and we assessed its druggability. Combining evolution and structure, this integrated framework identifies a DHPS substructure with significant evolutionary and structural impact. Targeting this region may constrain DHPS evolvability and slow resistance emergence, offering new directions for antibiotic development. © 2025
