    Abstract The physiology and behavior of living organisms are featured by time-related variations driven by molecular clockworks that arose during evolution stochastically and heterogeneously. Over the years, several high-throughput experiments were performed to evaluate time-dependent gene expression in different cell types across several species and experimental conditions. Here, these were retrieved, manually curated, and analyzed by two software packages, BioCycle and MetaCycle, to infer circadian or ultradian transcripts across different species. These transcripts were stored in RhythmicDB and made publically available.

    Abstract Background: SNCA p.V15A was reported in five families. In vitro models showed increased aggregation and seeding activity, mitochondrial damage, and apoptosis. Mutant flies had reduced flying ability and survival.
    Objectives: To clinically and functionally evaluate SNCA p.V15A in a large Italian family with Parkinson's disease (PD).
    Methods: Genetic diagnosis was reached through next-generation sequencing. Pathogenicity was assessed by molecular dynamics simulation and biochemical studies on peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs).
    Results: Five siblings carried SNCA p.V15A; three developed bradykinetic-rigid PD in their 50s with rapid motor progression and variable cognitive impairment. A fourth sibling had isolated mood disturbance, whereas the fifth was still unaffected at age 47. The mutant protein showed decreased stability and an unstable folded structure. Proband's PBMCs showed elevated total and phosphorylated α-synuclein (α-syn) levels and significantly reduced glucocerebrosidase activity.
    Conclusion: This study demonstrates accumulation of α-syn

    Abstract Protein Structure Networks (PSNs) are a well-known mathematical model for estimation and analysis of the three-dimensional protein structure. Investigating the topological architecture of PSNs may help identify the crucial amino acid residues for protein stability and protein-protein interactions, as well as deduce any possible mutational effects. But because proteins go through conformational changes to give rise to essential biological functions, this has to be done dynamically over time. The most effective method to describe protein dynamics is molecular dynamics simulation, with the most popular software programs for manipulating simulations to infer interaction networks being RING, MD-TASK, and NAPS. Here, we compare the computational approaches used by these three tools-all of which are accessible as web servers-to understand the pathogenicity of missense mutations and talk about their potential applications as well as their advantages and disadvantages.

    Abstract KDM6A is the disease causative gene of type 2 Kabuki Syndrome, a rare multisystem disease; it is also a known cancer driver gene, with multiple somatic mutations found in a few cancer types. In this study, we looked at eleven missense variants in lung squamous cell carcinoma, one of the most common lung cancer subtypes, to see how they affect the KDM6A catalytic mechanisms. We found that they influence the interaction with histone H3 and the exposure of the trimethylated Lys27, which is critical for wild-type physiological function to varying degrees, by altering the conformational transition.

    Abstract Noonan syndrome (NS) belongs to RASopathies, a family of disorders caused by unregulated signaling through the RAS-MAPK pathway. Herein, we report on an individual with molecularly confirmed diagnosis of NS showing asymptomatic enlarged spinal nerve roots, which are distinctive features of neurofibromatosis type 1. To date, a total of 16 patients with neurogenic tumors resembling neurofibromas/schwannomas and a molecularly confirmed diagnosis of a non-NF1 RASopathy have been reported, adding this further feature shared among RASopathies.

    Abstract Mitochondrial dysfunction has pleiotropic effects and is frequently caused by mitochondrial DNA mutations. However, factors such as significant variability in clinical manifestations make interpreting the pathogenicity of variants in the mitochondrial genome challenging. Here, we present APOGEE 2, a mitochondrially-centered ensemble method designed to improve the accuracy of pathogenicity predictions for interpreting missense mitochondrial variants. Built on the joint consensus recommendations by the American College of Medical Genetics and Genomics/Association for Molecular Pathology, APOGEE 2 features an improved machine learning method and a curated training set for enhanced performance metrics. It offers region-wise assessments of genome fragility and mechanistic analyses of specific amino acids that cause perceptible long-range effects on protein structure. With clinical and research use in mind, APOGEE 2 scores and pathogenicity probabilities are precompiled and available in MitImpact. APOGEE 2's ability to address challenges in interpreting mitochondrial missense variants makes it an essential tool in the field of mitochondrial genetics.

    Abstract Hundreds of human proteins were found to establish transient interactions with rather degenerated consensus DNA sequences or motifs. Identifying these motifs and the genomic sites where interactions occur represent one of the most challenging research goals in modern molecular biology and bioinformatics. The last twenty years witnessed an explosion of computational tools designed to perform this task, whose performance has been last compared fifteen years ago. Here, we survey sixteen of them, benchmark their ability to identify known motifs nested in twenty-nine simulated sequence datasets, and finally report their strengths, weaknesses, and complementarity.
