    Abstract Inflammasomes are innate immune sensing and signaling complexes critical for defense against pathogens and response to cellular stresses. A core component of inflammasomes is the sensor protein, which, upon sensing pathogen- or danger-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs or DAMPs), converts from inactive to active signaling platform for initiation of inflammatory signaling. A reliable source for the production and purification of recombinant inflammasome sensors is therefore invaluable for biochemical and structural characterizations, as well as drug screening for the development of therapeutics. Here, we describe an expression and purification protocol using the baculovirus-insect cell expression system to generate recombinant NLRP1, an important member of the NOD-like receptor (NLR) family of inflammasome sensors.

    Abstract Objectives: The aim of this study was to assess the cognitive abilities of people with spinal cord injury (SCI) using the Edinburgh Cognitive and Behavior Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis Screen (ECAS), a tool designed for testing cognition in individuals with limited hand motor function. The impact of cognitive dysfunction on quality of life was also assessed.
    Methods: Forty-one patients with SCI were assessed using ECAS, the brief version of the World Health Organisation Quality of Life questionnaire (WHOQOL-BREF), and the Spinal Cord Independence Measure.
    Results: Overall, 28 of the 41 participants scored below the cut-off threshold for normal population in ECAS. The domains affected were language, 63%; memory, 51%; executive function, 44%; verbal fluency, 44%; and visuospatial skills, 24%. On multiple regression analysis, the ECAS total score moderately strongly explained the variance in the WHOQOL-BREF psychological (β = 0.428, t = 2.958, P = 0.005) and environmental (β = 0.411, t = 2.819, P = 0.008) domains. ECAS memory scores independently influenced WHOQOL-BREF physical (β = 0.398, t = 2.67, P = 0.011) and environmental (β = 0.37, t = 2.697, P = 0.010) domains. WHOQOL-BREF psychological scores were significantly influenced by ECAS executive scores (β = 0.415, t = 2.85, P = 0.007), whereas the social domain was not significantly influenced by ECAS scores.
    Conclusions: It was feasible to use ECAS in individuals with SCI. Cognitive ability influenced the quality of life of people with SCI.

    Abstract Parallel applications can spend a significant amount of time performing I/O on large-scale supercomputers. Fast near-compute storage accelerators called burst buffers can reduce the time a processor spends performing I/O and mitigate I/O bottlenecks. However, determining if a given application could be accelerated using burst buffers is not straightforward even for storage experts. The relationship between an application's I/O characteristics (such as I/O volume, processes involved, etc.) and the best storage sub-system for it can be complicated. As a result, adapting parallel applications to use burst buffers efficiently is a trial-and-error process. In this work, we present a Python-based tool called PrismIO that enables programmatic analysis of I/O traces. Using PrismIO, we identify bottlenecks on burst buffers and parallel file systems and explain why certain I/O patterns perform poorly. Further, we use machine learning to model the relationship between I/O characteristics and burst buffer selections. We run IOR (an I/O benchmark) with various I/O characteristics on different storage systems and collect performance data. We use the data as the input for training the model. Our model can predict if a file of an application should be placed on BBs for unseen IOR scenarios with an accuracy of 94.47% and for four real applications with an accuracy of 95.86%.

    Abstract The 2019 coronavirus pandemic remains a major public health concern. Neutralizing antibodies (nAbs) represent a cutting-edge antiviral strategy. We focus here on severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) and SARS-CoV, and discuss current progress in antibody research against rampant SARS-CoV-2 infections. We provide a perspective on the mechanisms of SARS-CoV-2-derived nAbs, comparing these with existing SARS-CoV-derived antibodies. We offer insight into how these antibodies cross-react and cross-neutralize by analyzing available structures of spike (S) glycoprotein-antibody complexes. We also propose ways of adopting antibody-based strategies - such as cocktail antibody therapeutics against SARS-CoV-2 - to overcome the possible resistance of currently identified mutants and mitigate possible antibody-dependent enhancement (ADE) pathologies. This review provides a platform for the progression of antibody and vaccine design against SARS-CoV-2, and possibly against future coronavirus pandemics.

    Abstract Over the past two decades, deadly coronaviruses, with the most recent being the severe acute respiratory syndrome-related coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) 2019 pandemic, have majorly challenged public health. The path for virus invasion into humans and other hosts is mediated by host-pathogen interactions, specifically virus-receptor binding. An in-depth understanding of the virus-receptor binding mechanism is a prerequisite for the discovery of vaccines, antibodies, and small-molecule inhibitors that can interrupt this interaction and prevent or cure infection. In this review, we discuss the viral entry mechanism, the known structural aspects of virus-receptor interactions (SARS-CoV-2 S/humanACE2, SARS-CoV S/humanACE2, and MERS-CoV S/humanDPP4), the key protein domains and amino acid residues involved in binding, and the small-molecule inhibitors and other drugs that have (as of June 2020) exhibited therapeutic potential. Specifically, we review the potential clinical utility of two transmembrane serine protease 2 (TMPRSS2)-targeting protease inhibitors, nafamostat mesylate and camostat mesylate, as well as two novel potent fusion inhibitors and the repurposed Ebola drug, remdesivir, which is specific to RNA-dependent RNA polymerase, against human coronaviruses, including SARS-CoV-2.
