    Abstract The prediction of RNA secondary structures is essential for understanding its underlying principles and applications in diverse fields, including molecular diagnostics and RNA-based therapeutic strategies. However, the complexity of the search space presents a challenge. This work proposes a Graph Convolutional Network (GCNfold) for predicting the RNA secondary structure. GCNfold considers an RNA sequence as graph-structured data and predicts posterior base-pairing probabilities given the prior base-pairing probabilities, calculated using McCaskill's partition function. The performance of GCNfold surpasses that of the state-of-the-art folding algorithms, as we have incorporated minimum free energy information into the richly parameterized network, enhancing its robustness in predicting non-homologous RNA secondary structures. A Symmetric Argmax Post-processing algorithm ensures that GCNfold formulates valid structures. To validate our algorithm, we applied it to the SARS-CoV-2 E gene and determined the secondary structure of the E-gene across the

    Abstract BACKGROUND: Our previous report showed that phosphorylated-survivin at Ser81 induces survivin back loop to activate protein kinase A (PKA) in the cytoprotection mechanism. Activated PKA could possibly induce the cytoprotection via Phosphatydilinositol 3-kinase (PI3K). Therefore our current study was conducted to investigate the possibility of survivin-PKA-PI3K signaling pathway. METHODS: Viral productions by BOSC23 cells of Survivin, Antisense Survivin (Survivin-AS) and Ser81Ala mutant (Survivin-S81A) in pMSCV-IRES-GFP vector with cytomegalovirus (CMV) promoter were conducted. L929 cells were pretreated with/without PKI 6-22 amide and infected with viral particle of Survivin, Survivin-AS, Survivin-S81A or vector only. Cells were harvested, lysed and immunoprecipitated with anti-PI3K (p85) antibody and immunoblotted to detect PI3K (p85) and phospho-(Tyr) p85 PI3K. To confirm PI3K activation, PI3K Activity Assay was conducted by using phosphoinositide fraction containing PtdIns(4,5)P2 and [32P]ATP. RESULTS: Immunoblot and PI3K activity results showed similar results. Upon infection of virus with survivin, a markedly increased level of tyrosine phosphorylation of p85 PI3K or PI3K activity in L929 cells was seen. Low levels of tyrosine phosphorylation of p85 PI3K or PI3K activity were observed for Survivin-AS and Survivin-S81A-viral-infected L929 cells. With higher concentrations of Survivin-viral-infection, levels of tyrosine phosphorylation of p85 PI3K or PI3K activity in L929 cells were gradually increased. However, when L929 cells were pretreated with PKI 6-22 amide, prior to Survivin-viral-infection, level of tyrosine phosphorylation level of p85 PI3K or PI3K activity was detected much lower. CONCLUSIONS: Our result suggest that Ser81 Survivin play role in inducing PI3K activation and the Survivin-PI3K signaling pathway was PKA-dependent. KEYWORDS: Ser81, Survivin, PKA, PI3K, L929.

    Abstract Host defense peptides selectively kill bacterial and cancer cells (including those that are drug-resistant) by perturbing the permeability of their membranes, without being significantly toxic to the host. Coulombic interactions between these cationic and amphipathic peptides and the negatively charged membranes of pathogenic cells contribute to the selective toxicity. However, a positive charge is not sufficient for selectivity, which can be achieved only by a finely tuned balance of electrostatic and hydrophobic driving forces. A common property of amphipathic peptides is the formation of aggregated structures in solution, but the role of this phenomenon in peptide activity and selectivity has received limited attention. Our data on the anticancer peptide killerFLIP demonstrate that aggregation strongly increases peptide selectivity, by reducing the effective peptide hydrophobicity and thus the affinity towards membranes composed of neutral lipids (like the outer layer of healthy eukaryotic cell membranes). Aggregation is therefore a useful tool to modulate the selectivity of membrane active peptides and peptidomimetics.
