Cooperative Binding of Transcription Regulators

Cooperative Binding of Transcription Regulators

Transcriptional regulators bind to specific cis-regulatory sequences in the DNA to regulate gene transcription. These cis-regulatory sequences are very short, usually less than ten nucleotide pairs in length. The short length means that there is a high probability of the exact same sequence randomly occurring throughout the genome. Since regulators can also bind to groups of similar sequences, this further increases the chances of random binding. Transcriptional regulators form dimers that...

Protein Networks

Protein Networks

An organism can have thousands of different proteins, and these proteins must cooperate to ensure the health of an organism. Proteins bind to other proteins and form complexes to carry out their functions. Many proteins interact with multiple other proteins creating a complex network of protein interactions.
These interactions can be represented through maps depicting protein-protein interaction networks, represented as nodes and edges. Nodes are circles that are representative of a protein,...

Conserved Binding Sites

Conserved Binding Sites

Many proteins’ biological role depends on their interactions with their ligands, small molecules that bind to specific locations on the protein known as ligand-binding sites. Ligand-binding sites are often conserved among homologous proteins as these sites are critical for protein function.
Binding sites are often located in large pockets, and if their location on a protein’s surface is unknown, it can be predicted using various approaches. The energetic method computationally analyses the...

Evolutionary Relationships through Genome Comparisons

Evolutionary Relationships through Genome Comparisons

Genome comparison is one of the excellent ways to interpret the evolutionary relationships between organisms. The basic principle of genome comparison is that if two species share a common feature, it is likely encoded by the DNA sequence conserved between both species. The advent of genome sequencing technologies in the late 20th century enabled scientists to understand the concept of conservation of domains between species and helped them to deduce evolutionary relationships across diverse...

DNA as a Genetic Template

DNA as a Genetic Template

Two structural features of the DNA molecule provide a basis for the mechanisms of heredity: the four nucleotide bases and its double-stranded nature. The Watson-Crick model of double-helical DNA structure, proposed in 1952, drew heavily upon the X-ray crystallography work of researchers Rosalind Franklin and Maurice Wilkins. Watson, Crick, and Wilkins jointly received the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for their work in 1962. Franklin was, controversially, excluded from the prize for...

Area of Science:

Molecular Bioengineering
Synthetic Biology
Computational Biology

Background:

Orthogonality is a key principle in molecular bioengineering and synthetic biology, often leading to the avoidance of non-specific interactions.
This focus on orthogonality limits the usable sequence space and scalability, particularly when synthetic systems need to function within complex biological environments.
Accurate predictive models for non-orthogonal interactions are lacking, hindering the exploration of the full sequence space.

Purpose of the Study:

To develop a computational model for accurately predicting DNA-DNA interactions.
To overcome limitations imposed by orthogonality in molecular bioengineering.
To enable the exploitation of the full DNA sequence space for synthetic biology applications.

Main Methods:

Developed BINND (Binding and Interaction Neural Network for DNA), a deep learning model.
Utilized an ultra-high throughput platform to measure millions of DNA-DNA interactions.
Trained and validated the deep learning model against ground truth interaction data.

Main Results:

BINND achieved prediction accuracies above 80% for DNA-DNA interactions.
The model demonstrates generalization across diverse DNA sequences.
BINND runs 50 times faster than existing predictive models.
Successfully demonstrated the model's utility by creating a searchable DNA network.

Conclusions:

BINND enables accurate prediction of DNA interactions, moving beyond the constraints of orthogonality.
This advancement supports a paradigm shift towards utilizing the complete DNA sequence space.
Applications include diagnostics, advanced bioengineering, and DNA origami design.
