Antibody-directed evolution reveals a mechanism for enhanced neutralization at the HIV-1 fusion peptide site by Banach, Bailey B, Pletnev, Sergei, Olia, Adam S, Xu, Kai, Zhang, Baoshan, Rawi, Reda, Bylund, Tatsiana, Doria-Rose, Nicole A, Nguyen, Thuy Duong, Fahad, Ahmed S, Lee, Myungjin, Lin, Bob C, Liu, Tracy, Louder, Mark K, Madan, Bharat, McKee, Krisha, O’Dell, Sijy, Sastry, Mallika, Schön, Arne, Bui, Natalie, Shen, Chen-Hsiang, Wolfe, Jacy R, Chuang, Gwo-Yu, Mascola, John R, Kwong, Peter D, DeKosky, Brandon J

“…Here we evolve the FP-targeting antibody VRC34.01 in vitro to enhance FP-neutralization using site saturation mutagenesis and yeast display. Successive rounds of directed evolution by iterative selection of antibodies for binding to resistant HIV-1 strains establish a variant, VRC34.01_mm28, as a best-in-class antibody with 10-fold enhanced potency compared to the template antibody and ~80% breadth on a cross-clade 208-strain neutralization panel. …”

Finding transcription factor binding motifs for coregulated genes by combining sequence overrepresentation with cross-species conservation by Jia, Hui., Li, Jinming.

“…Compared with the prevailing motif finding software, our method has some advantages in finding transcriptional factor binding motifs for potential coregulated genes if the gene upstream sequences of multiple closely related species are available. Although we used yeast genomes to assess our method in this study, it might also be applied to other organisms if suitable related species are available and the upstream sequences of coregulated genes can be obtained for the multiple closely related species.…”
