A proteome-wide biochemical screen defines binding determinants of the core autophagy protein LC3B

Human MAP1LC3B (LC3B) binds proteins involved in autophagy and other cellular processes using a degenerate four-residue short linear motif known as the LC3-interacting region (LIR). Biochemical and ...

Detecting genomic islands using bioinformatics approaches

Genomic islands (GIs) are large genomic regions (typically 10–200 kb in length) that are found in bacterial genomes and that have probably been horizontally acquired. GIs disproportionately carry ...
