Pathogenic missense protein variants affect different functional pathways and proteomic features than healthy population variants. by Anna Laddach, Joseph Chi Fung Ng, Franca Fraternali

“…By examining the association of variant enrichment with available functional pathways and transcriptomic and proteomic (protein half-life, thermal stability, abundance) data, we have mined a rich set of molecular features which distinguish between pathogenic and population variants: Pathogenic variants mainly affect proteins involved in cell proliferation and nucleotide processing and are enriched in more abundant proteins. …”

Complex interplay between gene deletions and the environment uncovers cellular roles for genes of unknown function in Escherichia coli by Kaat Sondervorst, Kristina Nesporova, Matthew Herdman, Bart Steemans, Joëlle Rosseels, Sander K. Govers

“…In this study, we exploited the previously observed nutrient dependency of cell biological phenotypic features captured by a cross-condition image-based profiling assay of Escherichia coli deletion strains to examine this in more detail. We identified several general principles, including the existence of a spectrum of deviating phenotypes across nutrient conditions (i.e., from nutrient- or feature-specific to pleiotropic phenotypic deviations), limited conservation of phenotypic deviations across nutrient conditions (i.e., limited phenotypic robustness), and a subset of nutrient-independent phenotypic deviations (indicative of consistent genetic determinants of specific phenotypic features). …”
