Designer proteins that competitively inhibit Gαq by targeting its effector site

Mahmud Hussain, Matthew C. Cummins, Stuart Endo-Streeter, John Sondek, Brian Kuhlman

Summary: By embedding a helix-turn-helix (HTH) peptide into a folded protein, researchers were able to stabilize the binding-competent conformation and enhance the potency of inhibiting G alpha(q). Through molecular modeling and yeast surface display, a genetically encoded inhibitor with high affinity for G alpha(q) was successfully designed, showing effectiveness in inhibiting the activation of PLC-beta isozymes. This work demonstrates the utility of grafting interaction motifs into folded proteins for generating inhibitors of protein-protein interactions.

Partitioning-Induced Isolation of Analyte and Analysis via Multiscaled Aqueous Two-Phase System

Yang Cao, Jingxuan Tian, Haisong Lin, Qingchuan Li, Yang Xiao, Huanqing Cui, Ho Cheung Shum

Summary: Most fluorescence-based bioanalytical applications require washing to remove excess labels, which is labor-intensive and hinders portable applications in resource-limited areas. In this study, an aqueous two-phase system (ATPS) is used for partitioning-induced isolation of labeled analytes without extra processing steps. The ATPS-based isolation is driven by affinity differences between analytes and excess labels. Different ATPS compositions were optimized for various scales of bioanalytical applications. The results showed successful isolation and analysis of analytes in centimeter-scale, millimeter-scale, and microscale ATPS.

One Soai reaction, two mechanisms?

Yannick Geiger

Summary: The mechanism of the Soai reaction has puzzled the chemistry community for over 25 years. In 2020, two research groups proposed different hypotheses on the catalytic species, which seem to oppose each other but could potentially both be valid. This scenario has far-reaching implications on the fundamental understanding of asymmetry-amplifying autocatalysis.

Current challenges in designer cellulosome engineering

Babette Lamote, Maria Joao Mauricio da Fonseca, Julie Vanderstraeten, Kenan Meert, Marte Elias, Yves Briers

Summary: Designer cellulosomes (DCs) are engineered multi-enzyme complexes that have shown promise for biorefineries, but technical challenges in their engineering have hindered progress towards industrial applications. The challenge lies in the large diversity of possible building blocks and architectures, as well as the impact of DC composition on relevant parameters. This review provides a roadmap and possible solutions for researchers to navigate the process of DC engineering.

Antibody response after one and two jabs of the BNT162b2 vaccine in nursing home residents: The CONsort-19 study

Hubert Blain, Edouard Tuaillon, Lucie Gamon, Amandine Pisoni, Stephanie Miot, Yves Rolland, Marie-Christine Picot, Jean Bousquet

Summary: Residents in nursing homes with prior COVID-19 had higher humoral immune response levels after vaccination compared to those without prior infection. Majority of residents without prior COVID-19 developed antibodies after the second jab, but around 30% had low levels. Further analysis is needed to determine if residents with low post-vaccine antibody levels are at higher risk for symptomatic COVID-19.

Differential evolution ensemble designer

M. T. Indu, C. Shunmuga Velayutham

Summary: This paper presents a meta-evolutionary framework called DEED for automating the design of Differential Evolution (DE) ensemble algorithms. DEED employs Dynamic Structured Grammatical Evolution (DSGE) to evolve effective and robust DE ensemble designs. Experimental results show that the evolved ensemble designs by DEED perform competitively against manually designed state-of-the-art DE ensemble algorithms. Additionally, DEED is capable of evolving both cooperative and competitive style DE ensembles.

Discovery of amivantamab (JNJ-61186372), a bispecific antibody targeting EGFR and MET

Joost Neijssen, Rosa M. F. Cardoso, Kristen M. Chevalier, Luus Wiegman, Thomas Valerius, G. Mark Anderson, Sheri L. Moores, Janine Schuurman, Paul W. H. Parren, William R. Strohl, Mark L. Chiu

Summary: This study focused on developing a bispecific antibody targeting EGFR and MET pathways to overcome resistance to targeted therapies in nonsmall cell lung cancer patients. By sequentially screening a panel of BsAbs and selecting the optimal bispecific molecule, amivantamab was generated and demonstrated superior antitumor activity in preclinical models. The unique mode of action of amivantamab may provide benefits to patients with malignancies associated with aberrant EGFR and MET signaling.

Avidity in antibody effector functions and biotherapeutic drug design

Simone C. Oostindie, Greg A. Lazar, Janine Schuurman, Paul W. H. Parren

Summary: This review discusses the role of avidity in eliciting antibody functional responses and current engineering strategies for manipulating avidity interactions in antibody-based therapies. Avidity, derived from multiple affinity interactions, is fundamental to all aspects of antibody biology and is crucial for enhancing or engineering novel properties in antibody biotherapeutics. Therapeutic antibody mechanisms of action are comprehensively reviewed with an emphasis on engineered optimizations and platforms, leading to a new wave of differentiated antibody drugs with tailored properties and promising improved treatment options for various diseases.
