Inferring interaction partners from protein sequences

AF Bitbol, RS Dwyer, LJ Colwell… - Proceedings of the …, 2016 - National Acad Sciences
Specific protein−protein interactions are crucial in the cell, both to ensure the formation and
stability of multiprotein complexes and to enable signal transduction in various pathways. …

[HTML][HTML] Bacterial biofilm under flow: first a physical struggle to stay, then a matter of breathing

P Thomen, J Robert, A Monmeyran, AF Bitbol… - PloS one, 2017 - journals.plos.org
Bacterial communities attached to surfaces under fluid flow represent a widespread lifestyle
of the microbial world. Through shear stress generation and molecular transport regulation, …

[HTML][HTML] Inferring interaction partners from protein sequences using mutual information

AF Bitbol - PLoS computational biology, 2018 - journals.plos.org
Functional protein-protein interactions are crucial in most cellular processes. They enable
multi-protein complexes to assemble and to remain stable, and they allow signal transduction …

Toward a universal model for spatially structured populations

L Marrec, I Lamberti, AF Bitbol - Physical review letters, 2021 - APS
A key question in evolution is how likely a mutant is to take over. This depends on natural
selection and on stochastic fluctuations. Population spatial structure can impact mutant fixation …

[HTML][HTML] Phylogenetic correlations can suffice to infer protein partners from sequences

G Marmier, M Weigt, AF Bitbol - PLoS computational biology, 2019 - journals.plos.org
Determining which proteins interact together is crucial to a systems-level understanding of
the cell. Recently, algorithms based on Direct Coupling Analysis (DCA) pairwise maximum-…

[HTML][HTML] A convolutional neural network segments yeast microscopy images with high accuracy

…, CHM Chan, M Koziński, M Weigert, AF Bitbol… - Nature …, 2020 - nature.com
The identification of cell borders (‘segmentation’) in microscopy images constitutes a bottleneck
for large-scale experiments. For the model organism Saccharomyces cerevisiae, current …

Large-scale filament formation inhibits the activity of CTP synthetase

RM Barry, AF Bitbol, A Lorestani, EJ Charles… - Elife, 2014 - elifesciences.org
10.7554/eLife.03638.001 CTP Synthetase (CtpS) is a universally conserved and essential
metabolic enzyme. While many enzymes form small oligomers, CtpS forms large-scale …

[HTML][HTML] Correlations from structure and phylogeny combine constructively in the inference of protein partners from sequences

A Gerardos, N Dietler, AF Bitbol - PLOS Computational Biology, 2022 - journals.plos.org
Inferring protein-protein interactions from sequences is an important task in computational
biology. Recent methods based on Direct Coupling Analysis (DCA) or Mutual Information (MI) …

[HTML][HTML] pH sensing by lipids in membranes: The fundamentals of pH-driven migration, polarization and deformations of lipid bilayer assemblies

MI Angelova, AF Bitbol, M Seigneuret… - … et Biophysica Acta (BBA …, 2018 - Elsevier
Most biological molecules contain acido-basic groups that modulate their structure and
interactions. A consequence is that pH gradients, local heterogeneities and dynamic variations …

[HTML][HTML] Resist or perish: fate of a microbial population subjected to a periodic presence of antimicrobial

L Marrec, AF Bitbol - PLoS computational biology, 2020 - journals.plos.org
The evolution of antimicrobial resistance can be strongly affected by variations of
antimicrobial concentration. Here, we study the impact of periodic alternations of absence and …
