    Abstract Oral pathogens survive in the harsh niche of the oral microbiome on account of a plethora of moonlighting [ML] proteins that can multitask in the oro-mucosal layers. ML proteins are considered as the complex protein hyperspace expressed in many oral bacterial pathogens and encompass many hypothetical and experimentally evidenced proteins that can efficiently assist in the initiation and progression of various oro-dental infections. With the propensity of multi-drug resistance and biofilm formation, unravelling the mysterious functions associated with the oral ML proteins could be essential in targeting the vital oral bacteria and their associated infections. This commentary thus throws insights onto the key clues on various ML proteins that can be considered for the development of therapeutic versatility to curtail the complications caused by various oral bacterial species.

    Abstract Introduction:  
    Materials and methods: 11 different FASTA sequences of bfmR and bfmS from 
    Results: Four peptide sequences (E1-E4) were predicted for B-cell dominance, with E1, E2, and E4 as probable antigens. All were soluble and non-toxigenic. E1 and E3 were considered non-allergens. GRAVY values were negative for all the peptides, indicating the protein to be hydrophilic in nature. Analysis of the T-cell epitopes was promising, with 100% conservancy for class-I HLA alleles, high interaction scores for similarity with TLR2, and more hydrogen bonds for E2, followed by other epitope peptides.
    Conclusion: The promising four epitopes, as predicted for bfmR and bfmS in the present study, suggest their potent role as possible candidates for the design of vaccines targeting the TCS of

    Abstract Constitutive expression of Foxp3+ Tregs in the tumor microenvironment (TME) specifically renders immune suppression in the tumor tissues. Being highly stable and self-tolerant, Tregs may be influenced by various epigenetic-associated mechanisms while exhibiting their functions. DNA methylation, histone acetylation, epigenetic silencing, alteration in chromatin networks, etc., are some of the main factors underlying the epigenetic-based Treg cell functional modulations in the TME. The possible reasons on why these epigenetic modulations should be specifically targeted are thus discussed, so that enhanced anti-tumor immunity in TME can be achieved.

    Abstract Objectives: To predict the novel vaccine peptide candidates against gacS protein involved with the citrate utilization in the two-component system of
    Methods: The study is designed as an observational
    Results: Nine peptides (20aa) with the highest score of 1 were selected from the 137 epitopes, and five were predicted as antigenic epitopes (E1-E5). E3 was selected as the potent antigen (score: 0.939537) and E1 as the best vaccine candidate (score: 0.9803) under AntigenPro and Vaxijen server, respectively. SolPro predicted all epitopes as soluble peptides. ProtParam predictions showed E3 and E5 as stable proteins with a shelf life of 3.5 and 1.9 h and possessed negative GRAVY values. PsortB server predicted a final localization score of 7.88 for the gacS protein sequence as a cytoplasmic membrane protein. IEDB conservancy analysis showed 100% conserved sequences within the gacS sequence, and class I conservancy yielded positive values for all epitopes. Cluster analysis showed strong interactions, and the protein-peptide interactions with TLR-2 finally detected E5 as the best interacting peptide (H bonds = 14) followed by E3 (H bonds = 12).
    Conclusion: The study suggests five antigenic peptides as promiscuous vaccine candidates to target the gacS of
