Hot spots in protein–protein interfaces: Towards drug discovery

E Cukuroglu, HB Engin, A Gursoy, O Keskin - Progress in biophysics and …, 2014 - Elsevier
Identification of drug-like small molecules that alter protein–protein interactions might be a
key step in drug discovery. However, it is very challenging to find such molecules that target …

[PDF][PDF] Midbrain-like organoids from human pluripotent stem cells contain functional dopaminergic and neuromelanin-producing neurons

J Jo, Y Xiao, AX Sun, E Cukuroglu, HD Tran, J Göke… - Cell stem cell, 2016 - cell.com
Recent advances in 3D culture systems have led to the generation of brain organoids that
resemble different human brain regions; however, a 3D organoid model of the midbrain …

PRISM: a web server and repository for prediction of protein–protein interactions and modeling their 3D complexes

A Baspinar, E Cukuroglu, R Nussinov… - Nucleic acids …, 2014 - academic.oup.com
The PRISM web server enables fast and accurate prediction of protein–protein interactions (PPIs).
The prediction algorithm is knowledge-based. It combines structural similarity and …

[PDF][PDF] A pan-cancer transcriptome analysis reveals pervasive regulation through alternative promoters

D Demircioğlu, E Cukuroglu, M Kindermans, T Nandi… - Cell, 2019 - cell.com
Most human protein-coding genes are regulated by multiple, distinct promoters, suggesting
that the choice of promoter is as important as its level of transcriptional activity. However, …

Tumor-associated B cells and humoral immune response in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma

…, OG Siefer, CU Huebbers, E Cukuroglu… - …, 2019 - Taylor & Francis
B lymphocytes are important players in immune responses to cancer. However, their composition
and function in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) has not been well …

HotRegion: a database of predicted hot spot clusters

E Cukuroglu, A Gursoy, O Keskin - Nucleic acids research, 2012 - academic.oup.com
Hot spots are energetically important residues at protein interfaces and they are not randomly
distributed across the interface but rather clustered. These clustered hot spots form hot …

[PDF][PDF] Molecular features underlying neurodegeneration identified through in vitro modeling of genetically diverse Parkinson's disease patients

L Lin, J Göke, E Cukuroglu, MR Dranias… - Cell reports, 2016 - cell.com
The fact that Parkinson's disease (PD) can arise from numerous genetic mutations suggests
a unifying molecular pathology underlying the various genetic backgrounds. To address this …

[HTML][HTML] Non-redundant unique interface structures as templates for modeling protein interactions

E Cukuroglu, A Gursoy, R Nussinov, O Keskin - PloS one, 2014 - journals.plos.org
Improvements in experimental techniques increasingly provide structural data relating to
protein-protein interactions. Classification of structural details of protein-protein interactions can …

[HTML][HTML] SRSF3 maintains transcriptome integrity in oocytes by regulation of alternative splicing and transposable elements

DV Do, B Strauss, E Cukuroglu, I Macaulay, KB Wee… - Cell discovery, 2018 - nature.com
The RNA-binding protein SRSF3 (also known as SRp20) has critical roles in the regulation
of pre-mRNA splicing. Zygotic knockout of Srsf3 results in embryo arrest at the blastocyst …

B cells in esophago-gastric adenocarcinoma are highly differentiated, organize in tertiary lymphoid structures and produce tumor-specific antibodies

…, D Beutner, B Gathof, R Gilles, E Cukuroglu… - …, 2019 - Taylor & Francis
Tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) are correlated to prognosis of several kinds of cancer.
Most studies focused on T cells, while the role of tumor-associated B cells (TABs) has only …
