TLDR
The recent integration of bovine data makes InnateDB the first integrated network analysis platform for this agriculturally important model organism, and a range of improvements to the integrated bioinformatics solutions are reported.
Abstract
InnateDB (http://www.innatedb.com) is an integrated analysis platform that has been specifically designed to facilitate systems-level analyses of mammalian innate immunity networks, pathways and genes. In this article, we provide details of recent updates and improvements to the database. InnateDB now contains >196 000 human, mouse and bovine experimentally validated molecular interactions and 3000 pathway annotations of relevance to all mammalian cellular systems (i.e. not just immune relevant pathways and interactions). In addition, the InnateDB team has, to date, manually curated in excess of 18 000 molecular interactions of relevance to innate immunity, providing unprecedented insight into innate immunity networks, pathways and their component molecules. More recently, InnateDB has also initiated the curation of allergy- and asthma-related interactions. Furthermore, we report a range of improvements to our integrated bioinformatics solutions including web service access to InnateDB interaction data using Proteomics Standards Initiative Common Query Interface, enhanced Gene Ontology analysis for innate immunity, and the availability of new network visualizations tools. Finally, the recent integration of bovine data makes InnateDB the first integrated network analysis platform for this agriculturally important model organism.

Spatial chromatin architecture alteration by structural variations in human genomes at the population scale

TL;DR: This study assesses the critical impact of genetic variants on the higher-order organization of Chromatin folding and provides insight into the mechanisms regulating gene transcription at the population scale, of which local arrangement of chromatin loops seems to be the most significant.

Concerted type I interferon signaling in microglia and neural cells promotes memory impairment associated with amyloid β plaques.

TL;DR: This paper used a fate-mapping reporter system to track cellular responses to type I interferon (IFN-I), an innate immune cytokine aberrantly elicited by amyloid β plaques, and examined their role in cognition and neuropathology relevant to Alzheimer's disease.

The NFκB subunit RELA is a master transcriptional regulator of the committed epithelial-mesenchymal transition in airway epithelial cells.

TL;DR: It is concluded that RELA is a master transcriptional regulator of EMT upstream of WNT morphogen, JUN, SNAI1–ZEB1, and interleukin-6 autocrine loops.

Mechanisms of the Innate Defense Regulator Peptide-1002 Anti-Inflammatory Activity in a Sterile Inflammation Mouse Model.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that IDR-1002 exhibits strong in vitro and in vivo anti- inflammatory activities, informs the underlying anti-inflammatory mechanisms, and reveals its potential as a novel therapeutic for inflammatory diseases.
Journal ArticleDOI

Presence and utility of intrinsically disordered regions in kinases.

TL;DR: This work biologically validated the interplay between kinome modulators SRC and AKT kinases and uncovered their novel function in regulating transcription factors of the SMAD family, and identifies novel kinomemodulators driven by intrinsic disorder.

Cytoscape: A Software Environment for Integrated Models of Biomolecular Interaction Networks

TL;DR: Several case studies of Cytoscape plug-ins are surveyed, including a search for interaction pathways correlating with changes in gene expression, a study of protein complexes involved in cellular recovery to DNA damage, inference of a combined physical/functional interaction network for Halobacterium, and an interface to detailed stochastic/kinetic gene regulatory models.

Innate immunity and intestinal microbiota in the development of Type 1 diabetes

TL;DR: It is found that MyD88 deficiency changes the composition of the distal gut microbiota, and that exposure to the microbiota of specific pathogen-free MyD 88-negative NOD donors attenuates T1D in germ-free NOD recipients.
