    Abstract ATP-binding cassette (ABC) superfamily comprises a large group of ubiquitous transmembrane proteins that play a crucial role in transporting a diverse spectrum of substrates across cellular membranes. They participate in a wide array of physiological and pathological processes including nutrient uptake, antigen presentation, toxin elimination, and drug resistance in cancer and microbial cells. ABC transporters couple ATP binding and hydrolysis to undergo conformational changes allowing substrate translocation. Within this superfamily, a set of ABC transporters has lost the capacity to hydrolyze ATP at one of their nucleotide-binding sites (NBS), called the non-catalytic NBS, whose importance became evident with extensive biochemistry carried out on yeast pleiotropic drug resistance (PDR) transporters. Recent single-particle cryogenic electron microscopy (cryo-EM) advances have further catapulted our understanding of the architecture of these pumps. We provide here a comprehensive overview of the structural and functional aspects of catalytically asymmetric ABC pumps with an emphasis on the PDR subfamily. Furthermore, given the increasing evidence of efflux-mediated antifungal resistance in clinical settings, we also discuss potential grounds to explore PDR transporters as therapeutic targets.

    Abstract In the European Center of Excellence in Exascale computing "Research on AI- and Simulation-Based Engineering at Exascale" (CoE RAISE), researchers develop novel, scalable AI technologies towards Exascale. This work exercises High Performance Computing resources to perform large-scale hyperparameter optimization using distributed training on multiple compute nodes. This is part of RAISE's work on data-driven use cases which leverages AI- and HPC cross-methods developed within the project. In response to the demand for parallelizable and resource efficient hyperparameter optimization methods, advanced hyperparameter search algorithms are benchmarked and compared. The evaluated algorithms, including Random Search, Hyperband and ASHA, are tested and compared in terms of both accuracy and accuracy per compute resources spent. As an example use case, a graph neural network model known as MLPF, developed for the task of Machine-Learned Particle-Flow reconstruction in High Energy Physics, acts as the base model for optimization. Results show that hyperparameter optimization significantly increased the performance of MLPF and that this would not have been possible without access to large-scale High Performance Computing resources. It is also shown that, in the case of MLPF, the ASHA algorithm in combination with Bayesian optimization gives the largest performance increase per compute resources spent out of the investigated algorithms.

    Abstract The production and purification are the first steps required in any functional or structural study of a protein of interest. In the case of membrane proteins, these tasks can be difficult due to low expression levels and the necessity to extract them from their membrane environment. This chapter describes a convenient method based on GFP tagged to the membrane protein to facilitates these steps. Production is carried out in the yeast S. cerevisiae and purification steps are carried out and monitored taking advantage of an anti-GFP nanobody. We show how GFP can be a very helpful tool for controlling the correct addressing of the protein and for probing and optimizing purification. These methods are described here for producing and purifying CaCdr1p, an ABC exporter conferring multiantifungal resistance to C. albicans. This purification method can be amenable to any other GFP-tagged protein.

    Abstract At high energy physics experiments, processing billions of records of structured numerical data from collider events to a few statistical summaries is a common task. The data processing is typically more complex than standard query languages allow, such that custom numerical codes are used. At present, these codes mostly operate on individual event records and are parallelized in multi-step data reduction workflows using batch jobs across CPU farms. Based on a simplified top quark pair analysis with CMS Open Data, we demonstrate that it is possible to carry out significant parts of a collider analysis at a rate of around a million events per second on a single multicore server with optional GPU acceleration. This is achieved by representing HEP event data as memory-mappable sparse arrays of columns, and by expressing common analysis operations as kernels that can be used to process the event data in parallel. We find that only a small number of relatively simple functional kernels are needed for a generic HEP analysis. The approach based on columnar processing of data could speed up and simplify the cycle for delivering physics results at HEP experiments. We release the \texttt{hepaccelerate} prototype library as a demonstrator of such methods.

    Abstract The particle-flow (PF) algorithm, which infers particles based on tracks and calorimeter clusters, is of central importance to event reconstruction in the CMS experiment at the CERN LHC, and has been a focus of development in light of planned Phase-2 running conditions with an increased pileup and detector granularity. In recent years, the machine learned particle-flow (MLPF) algorithm, a graph neural network that performs PF reconstruction, has been explored in CMS, with the possible advantages of directly optimizing for the physical quantities of interest, being highly reconfigurable to new conditions, and being a natural fit for deployment to heterogeneous accelerators. We discuss progress in CMS towards an improved implementation of the MLPF reconstruction, now optimized using generator/simulation-level particle information as the target for the first time. This paves the way to potentially improving the detector response in terms of physical quantities of interest. We describe the simulation-based training target, progress and studies on event-based loss terms, details on the model hyperparameter tuning, as well as physics validation with respect to the current PF algorithm in terms of high-level physical quantities such as the jet and missing transverse momentum resolutions. We find that the MLPF algorithm, trained on a generator/simulator level particle information for the first time, results in broadly compatible particle and jet reconstruction performance with the baseline PF, setting the stage for improving the physics performance by additional training statistics and model tuning.

    Abstract Experiments at the High-Luminosity LHC and the Future Circular Collider need efficient algorithms to reconstruct granular events expected at such detectors with high fidelity. We study scalable machine learning models for event reconstruction in electron-positron collisions based on a full detector simulation. Particle-flow reconstruction can be formulated as a supervised learning task using tracks and calorimeter clusters. We compare a graph neural network and kernel-based transformer and demonstrate that we can avoid quadratic operations while achieving realistic reconstruction. We show that hyperparameter tuning significantly improves the performance of the models. The best graph neural network model shows improvement in the jet transverse momentum resolution by up to 50% compared to the rule-based algorithm. Accurate reconstruction can significantly improve future measurements at colliders. The resulting model is portable across Nvidia, AMD and Habana hardware. Our datasets and software are published following the findable, accessible, interoperable, and reusable principles.

    Abstract ATP-binding cassette (ABC) superfamily comprises membrane transporters that power the active transport of substrates across biological membranes. These proteins harness the energy of nucleotide binding and hydrolysis to fuel substrate translocation via an alternating-access mechanism. The primary structural blueprint is relatively conserved in all ABC transporters. A transport-competent ABC transporter is essentially made up of two nucleotide-binding domains (NBDs) and two transmembrane domains (TMDs). While the NBDs are conserved in their primary sequence and form at their interface two nucleotide-binding sites (NBSs) for ATP binding and hydrolysis, the TMDs are variable among different families and form the translocation channel. Transporters catalyzing the efflux of substrates from the cells are called exporters. In humans, they range from A to G subfamilies, with the B, C and G subfamilies being involved in chemoresistance. The recently elucidated structures of ABCG5/G8 followed by those of ABCG2 highlighted a novel structural fold that triggered extensive research. Notably, suppressor genetics in the orthologous yeast Pleiotropic Drug Resistance (PDR) subfamily proteins have pointed to a crosstalk between TMDs and NBDs modulating substrate export. Considering the structural information provided by their neighbors from the G subfamily, these studies provide mechanistic keys and posit a functional role for the non-hydrolytic NBS found in several ABC exporters. The present chapter provides an overview of structural and functional aspects of ABCG proteins with a special emphasis on the yeast PDR systems.

    Abstract Multidrug resistance (MDR) transporters belonging to either the ATP-Binding Cassette (ABC) or Major Facilitator Superfamily (MFS) groups are major determinants of clinical drug resistance in fungi. The overproduction of these proteins enables the extrusion of incoming drugs at rates that prevent lethal effects. The promiscuity of these proteins is intriguing because they export a wide range of structurally unrelated molecules. Research in the last two decades has used multiple approaches to dissect the molecular basis of the polyspecificity of multidrug transporters. With large numbers of drug transporters potentially involved in clinical drug resistance in pathogenic yeasts, this review focuses on the drug transporters of the important pathogen

    Abstract Several SARS-CoV-2 variants of concern have independently acquired some of the same Spike protein mutations, notably E484K, N501Y, S477N, and K417T, associated with increased viral transmission and/or reduced sensitivity to neutralization by antibodies. Repeated evolution of the same mutations, particularly in variants that are now rapidly spreading in various regions of the world, suggests a fitness advantage. Mutations at position P681 in Spike, possibly affecting viral transmission, have also evolved multiple times, including in two variants of concern. Here, we describe three variants circulating in New York State that have independently acquired a P681H mutation and the different trajectories they have taken. While one variant rose to high prevalence since later summer 2020 it appears to be in decline. The other two variants were more recently detected in New York and harbor additional Spike mutations that might be cause for continued monitoring. The latter two P681H variants have shown moderate increases in prevalence but ultimately all might be subject to the same fate as more competitive variants come to dominate the scene

    Abstract The abundance of dark matter (DM) subhalos orbiting a host galaxy is a generic prediction of the cosmological framework, and is a promising way to constrain the nature of DM. In this paper, we investigate the use of machine learning-based tools to quantify the magnitude of phase-space perturbations caused by the passage of DM subhalos. A simple binary classifier and an anomaly detection model are proposed to estimate if stars or star particles close to DM subhalos are statistically detectable in simulations. The simulated datasets are three Milky Way-like galaxies and nine synthetic Gaia DR2 surveys derived from these. Firstly, we find that the anomaly detection algorithm, trained on a simulated galaxy with full 6D kinematic observables and applied on another galaxy, is nontrivially sensitive to the DM subhalo population. On the other hand, the classification-based approach is not sufficiently sensitive due to the extremely low statistics of signal stars for supervised training. Finally, the sensitivity of both algorithms in the Gaia-like surveys is negligible. The enormous size of the Gaia dataset motivates the further development of scalable and accurate data analysis methods that could be used to select potential regions of interest for DM searches to ultimately constrain the Milky Way's subhalo mass function, as well as simulations where to study the sensitivity of such methods under different signal hypotheses.
