Fine-tuning protein language models to understand the functional impact of missense variants by Ali Saadat, Jacques Fellay

“…In addition, we trained a fully connected neural network classifier on frozen embeddings and compared its performance to fine-tuning in order to quantify the added value of task-specific adaptation. We then used the fine-tuned models to: 1) identify protein features enriched in either pathogenic or benign missense variants, and 2) compare the predicted feature profiles of proteins with reference and alternate alleles to understand how missense variants affect protein functionality. …”

Carrot and stick: how RNase R contributes to function and destruction of the translation machinery by Helge Paternoga, Lyudmila Dimitrova-Paternoga

“…In this review, we discuss the pivotal contribution of the 3’ exonuclease RNase R to bacterial RNA homoeostasis. We focus on its functions in regulating and degrading components of the translation machinery, including the trans-translation system, and we take a look at recent structural studies that shed new light on the activities of this important enzyme.…”
