pLogo: a probabilistic approach to visualizing sequence motifs

TLDR
The pLogo is described, a motif visualization in which residue heights are scaled relative to their statistical significance, in which real-time conditional probability calculations and visualizations are supported.
Abstract
Methods for visualizing protein or nucleic acid motifs have traditionally relied upon residue frequencies to graphically scale character heights. We describe the pLogo, a motif visualization in which residue heights are scaled relative to their statistical significance. A pLogo generation tool is publicly available at http://plogo.uconn.edu/ and supports real-time conditional probability calculations and visualizations.

Protein kinases PknA and PknB independently and coordinately regulate essential Mycobacterium tuberculosis physiologies and antimicrobial susceptibility

TL;DR: These findings support these kinases as targets for new antituberculosis drugs and provide a valuable resource for targeted investigation of mechanisms by which protein phosphorylation regulates pathways required for growth and virulence in M. tuberculosis.

Immunopeptidomic Analysis Reveals That Deamidated HLA-bound Peptides Arise Predominantly from Deglycosylated Precursors.

TL;DR: Analysis of HLA-bound peptides from a variety of allotypes and the distribution of mass spectrometry-detected PTMs is analyzed, finding deamidation of asparagine or glutamine to be highly prevalent and aiding in the design of novel T cell therapeutic targets derived from glycoprotein antigens.

Malonylome Analysis Reveals the Involvement of Lysine Malonylation in Metabolism and Photosynthesis in Cyanobacteria.

TL;DR: The first proteomic survey of lysine malonylation in Synechocystis is performed using highly accurate tandem mass spectrometry in combination with affinity purification and 27 proteins involved in photosynthesis were found to be malonylated for the first time, suggesting that lysinesmalonylation may be involved in photoynthesis.

Quantitative SUMO proteomics reveals the modulation of several PML nuclear body associated proteins and an anti-senescence function of UBC9.

TL;DR: This work proposes both pro- and anti-senescence functions of protein SUMOylation, which were identified in the SUMO proteome of senescent cells in a site-specific manner and were associated with PML nuclear body associated proteins.

WebLogo: A Sequence Logo Generator

TL;DR: WebLogo generates sequence logos, graphical representations of the patterns within a multiple sequence alignment that provide a richer and more precise description of sequence similarity than consensus sequences and can rapidly reveal significant features of the alignment otherwise difficult to perceive.

Sequence logos: a new way to display consensus sequences

TL;DR: From these 'sequence logos', one can determine not only the consensus sequence but also the relative frequency of bases and the information content at every position in a site or sequence.

A C-terminal signal prevents secretion of luminal ER proteins

TL;DR: It is proposed that the KDEL sequence marks proteins that are to be retained in the ER and discuss possible retention mechanisms.
