Open AccessIdentification of motif-based interactions between SARS-CoV-2 protein domains and human peptide ligands pinpoint antiviral targets
The virus life cycle depends on host-virus protein-protein interactions, which often involve a disordered protein region binding to a folded protein domain. Here, we used proteomic peptide phage display (ProP-...

Open AccessLarge-scale phage-based screening reveals extensive pan-viral mimicry of host short linear motifs
Viruses mimic host short linear motifs (SLiMs) to hijack and deregulate cellular functions. Studies of motif-mediated interactions therefore provide insight into virus-host dependencies, and reveal targets for...

Open AccessLarge scale discovery of coronavirus-host factor protein interaction motifs reveals SARS-CoV-2 specific mechanisms and vulnerabilities
Viral proteins make extensive use of short peptide interaction motifs to hijack cellular host factors. However, most current large-scale methods do not identify this important class of protein-protein interact...

Open AccessThe transition state structure for binding between TAZ1 of CBP and the disordered Hif-1α CAD
Intrinsically disordered proteins (IDPs) are common in eukaryotes. However, relatively few experimental studies have addressed the nature of the rate-limiting transition state for the coupled binding and foldi...

Open AccessVgll3 and the Hippo pathway are regulated in Sertoli cells upon entry and during puberty in Atlantic salmon testis
Vgll3 is linked to age at maturity in Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar). However, the molecular mechanisms involving Vgll3 in controlling timing of puberty as well as relevant tissue and cell types are currently unkn...

Open AccessSex steroid production associated with puberty is absent in germ cell-free salmon
In all vertebrates studied so far, germ cells are not required for pubertal maturation of the gonadal steroidogenic system, subsequent development of secondary sex characteristics and reproductive behavior. To...

Open AccessImproved affinity at the cost of decreased specificity: a recurring theme in PDZ-peptide interactions
The E6 protein from human papillomavirus (HPV) plays an important role during productive infection and is a potential drug target. We have previously designed a high affinity bivalent protein binder for the E6...

Open AccessDnd knockout ablates germ cells and demonstrates germ cell independent sex differentiation in Atlantic salmon
Introgression of farmed salmon escapees into wild stocks is a major threat to the genetic integrity of wild populations. Using germ cell-free fish in aquaculture may mitigate this problem. Our study investigat...
