Ancestral proteins trace the emergence of substrate specificity and oligomerization within bacterial DEDDy dinucleases

Nucleases are crucial for various bacterial processes, including genome maintenance and host defense. Deoxydinucleases (diDNases), a class of Gram-positive bacteria–specific nucleases associated with mobile genetic elements, are homologous to nanoRNase C (NrnC) in Gram-negative bacteria but exhibit notable differences:...

LAMBDA: a prophage detection benchmark for genomic language models.

This work introduces LAMBDA, a benchmark designed to rigorously evaluate genome language model embeddings through phage-bacteria sequence discrimination across four categories of increasing complexity: probing tasks, fine-tuning assessments, diagnostic tests, and genome-wide prophage detection.

Structure of a key adhesin-exopolysaccharide interaction provides insights into matrix assembly in Vibrio cholerae biofilms

The structure reveals for the first time the interaction between a biofilm exopolysaccharide and matrix protein, as well as insights into conformational changes of exopolysaccharide induced by this binding, and provides a generalizable approach for studying the biophysical and biochemical properties of carbohydrate-dep...
