Conserved Motifs and Domains in Members of Pospiviroidae

Kevin-Phil Wuesthoff, Gerhard Steger

Summary: In 1985, Keese and Symons proposed a hypothesis about the sequence and secondary structure of viroids from the family Pospiviroidae. They found that viroids can be divided into five structural and functional domains, and they evolve through rearrangement of domains and mutations within each domain. This article is highly cited in the viroid research field. We attempted to reproduce the original results using Keese and Symons' method, as well as more recent methods, and extended the study to unknown members of Pospiviroidae.

Analysis of Host-Bacteria Protein Interactions Reveals Conserved Domains and Motifs That Mediate Fundamental Infection Pathways

Jordi Gomez Borrego, Marc Torrent Burgas

Summary: Adhesion and colonization of host cells by pathogenic bacteria rely on protein-protein interactions (PPIs). This study developed a filtering process to obtain a reliable list of domains and motifs participating in PPIs between bacteria and human cells. Structural analysis revealed that human proteins involved in these interactions are rich in alpha helix and disordered regions. The most significant domain-domain interactions were validated, but verifying domain-motif interactions was more challenging. Post-translational modifications, especially phosphorylation, also play a role in these interactions.

Low Complexity Regions in Proteins and DNA are Poorly Correlated

Johanna M. Enright, Zachery W. Dickson, G. Brian Golding

Summary: The entropy of protein sequences is poorly correlated with that of the DNA sequences encoding them. Low complexity regions exist in the proteomes of five model organisms, and there is a bias against mononucleic codons in their encoding sequences. Highly repetitive low complexity regions can be explained by neutral, slippage-based evolution, but compositionally biased regions with cryptic repeats cannot.

Some pathogenic SETX variants are partially conserved during evolution

Huma Tariq, Iqra Tariq, Thomas Bourinaris, Henry Houlden, Sadaf Naz

Summary: Variants in the SETX gene have been linked to ataxia with oculomotor apraxia type 2, and new bi-allelic pathogenic variants have been identified in patients, expanding the allelic spectrum. Some amino acid variants, not fully conserved in evolution, may lead to human disorders if the specific pathogenic variant is absent in other orthologues.

Co-conserved sequence motifs are predictive of substrate specificity in a family of monotopic phosphoglycosyl transferases

Alyssa J. J. Anderson, Greg J. J. Dodge, Karen N. N. Allen, Barbara Imperiali

Summary: In this study, the C-terminus of a prototypic monoPGT was structurally characterized for the first time, revealing that 19 C-terminal residues play a significant structural role in a subset of monoPGTs. This new structural information enabled the identification of co-conserved sequence fingerprints that predict NDP-sugar substrate specificity for this subset of monoPGTs. A Hidden Markov model was generated to assign the substrate of previously unannotated monoPGTs accurately.

A novel approach to finding conserved features in low-variability gene alignments characterises RNA motifs in SARS-CoV and SARS-CoV-2

Jordan P. Skittrall, Nerea Irigoyen, Ian Brierley, Julia R. Gog

Summary: Collections of genetic sequences contain information on evolutionary constraints and can be used to understand the roles of heavily constrained regions and develop new treatments. Our methods allow us to find conserved nucleic acid regions in low-signal, low-noise sequences, as demonstrated by analyzing genome sequences of SARS-CoV-2 and comparing them with SARS-CoV sequences. We propose the location of a packaging signal and discuss other regions of high conservation.

Differential Loss of OAS Genes Indicates Diversification of Antiviral Immunity in Mammals

Leopold Eckhart, Wolfgang Sipos

Summary: This study identified inactivating mutations of OAS genes in primates through comparative genomics and revealed a diversifying evolution pattern of the OAS gene family. The study also found that camelids lack OAS2 and OAS3 genes, Asian pangolins lack both OASL and OAS3 genes, and a new OAS gene (OAS5) is present in the bat suborder Yangochiroptera. These differences may affect innate immune responses to coronaviruses and other RNA viruses.
