This allowed for precise annotation of nearly all protein-coding genes. Comparative genomic analysis revealed common traits across all studied species, as well as unique genetic features specific to ISS microorganisms. Proteome analysis reflected these patterns, indicating adaptations to life in space, such as managing hypoosmotic stress related to microgravity, enhanced DNA repair activity to counteract increased radiation exposure, and the presence of mobile genetic elements that improve metabolism. Additionally, our findings suggest the evolution of genetic traits that may possess pathogenic capabilities, such as small molecule and peptide synthesis and ATP-dependent transporters, which could explain previous reports of increased antibiotic resistance and pathogenicity in microbes exposed to space conditions. These results suggest that the ISS microorganisms we studied have adapted to life in space, which is significant for future space missions, both in terms of bioproduction and potential therapeutic targets.<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:spacer {\"height\":\"30px\",\"epAnimationGeneratedClass\":\"edplus_anim-olQC3k\",\"epGeneratedClass\":\"eplus-wrapper\"} -->\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer eplus-wrapper\"><\/div>\n<!-- \/wp:spacer -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph {\"epAnimationGeneratedClass\":\"edplus_anim-2EctuW\",\"epGeneratedClass\":\"eplus-wrapper\"} -->\n<p class=\" eplus-wrapper\"><strong>Authors<\/strong>: <a href=\"https:\/\/sano.science\/people\/lukasz-szydlowski\/\">Lukasz M.

Our study explores structural clusters derived from the AlphaFold Protein Structure Database (AFDB), a high-quality subset of ESMAtlas, and the Microbiome Immunity Project (MIP). We generate a unified low-dimensional representation of the protein structure space, revealing that while each database occupies distinct regions, they share significant overlap in functional profiles. Key biological functions cluster within specific regions, indicating a common functional landscape across diverse datasets. To support data exploration, we developed an open-access web server. These findings provide a foundation for further research into protein sequence-structure-function relationships, including taxonomic classification, environmental influences, and functional specificity.<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:spacer {\"height\":\"40px\",\"epAnimationGeneratedClass\":\"edplus_anim-BU3oJP\",\"epGeneratedClass\":\"eplus-wrapper\"} -->\n<div style=\"height:40px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer eplus-wrapper\"><\/div>\n<!-- \/wp:spacer -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph {\"epAnimationGeneratedClass\":\"edplus_anim-b6JXoH\",\"epGeneratedClass\":\"eplus-wrapper\"} -->\n<p class=\" eplus-wrapper\"><strong>DOI<\/strong>: https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1101\/2024.08.14.607935<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph {\"epAnimationGeneratedClass\":\"edplus_anim-nv0xgb\",\"epGeneratedClass\":\"eplus-wrapper\"} -->\n<p class=\" eplus-wrapper\"><strong>Keywords<\/strong>: protein structure prediction3D modelsAlphaFold Protein Structure Database (AFDB)ESMAtlasMicrobiome Immunity Project (MIP)structural clusterslow-dimensional representationfunctional profilesbiological functionsopen-access web serverprotein sequence-structure-function relationships<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:spacer {\"height\":\"40px\",\"epAnimationGeneratedClass\":\"edplus_anim-BU3oJP\",\"epGeneratedClass\":\"eplus-wrapper\"} -->\n<div style=\"height:40px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer eplus-wrapper\"><\/div>\n<!-- \/wp:spacer -->\n\n<!-- wp:acf\/button {\"id\":\"block_6780f1729ec59\",\"name\":\"acf\/button\",\"data\":{\"title\":\"READ HERE\",\"_title\":\"field_61d40397c2f0a\",\"button_type\":\"link\",\"_button_type\":\"field_63bbde3b8f0d0\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/www.biorxiv.org\/content\/10.1101\/2024.08.14.607935v2\",\"_url\":\"field_61d4039bc2f0b\",\"button_style\":\"primary\",\"_button_style\":\"field_63872d045d0f0\",\"target\":\"_self\",\"_target\":\"field_63872c705d0ef\",\"button_extra_classes\":\"\",\"_button_extra_classes\":\"field_642beab6a97de\"},\"align\":\"\",\"mode\":\"edit\"} \/-->","post_title":"Large protein databases reveal structural complementarity and functional locality","post_excerpt":"Journal paper in: www.biorxiv.org\/content, 2024","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"large-protein-databases-reveal-structural-complementarity-and-functional-locality","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2025-01-10 13:44:35","post_modified_gmt":"2025-01-10 12:44:35","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/sano.science\/?post_type=research&p=20647","menu_order":0,"post_type":"research","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":20702,"post_author":"8","post_date":"2025-01-10 13:11:05","post_date_gmt":"2025-01-10 12:11:05","post_content":"<!-- wp:spacer {\"height\":\"40px\",\"epAnimationGeneratedClass\":\"edplus_anim-sMidxN\",\"epGeneratedClass\":\"eplus-wrapper\"} -->\n<div style=\"height:40px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer eplus-wrapper\"><\/div>\n<!-- \/wp:spacer -->\n\n<!-- wp:heading {\"epAnimationGeneratedClass\":\"edplus_anim-WNUP7L\",\"epGeneratedClass\":\"eplus-wrapper\"} -->\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading eplus-wrapper\" id=\"h-stefanie-duller-simone-vrbancic-lukasz-szydlowski-alexander-mahnert-marcus-blohs-michael-predl-christina-kumpitsch-verena-zrim-christoph-hogenauer-tomasz-kosciolek-ruth-a-schmitz-anna-eberhard-melanie-dragovan-laura-schmidberger-tamara-zurabischvili-viktoria-weinberger-adrian-mathias-moser-dagmar-kolb-dominique-pernitsch-rokhsareh-mohammadzadeh-torben-kuhnast-thomas-rattei-christine-moissl-eichinger\">Stefanie Duller,\u00a0Simone Vrbancic,\u00a0 \u0141ukasz Szyd\u0142owski,\u00a0 Alexander Mahnert,\u00a0 Marcus Blohs,\u00a0 Michael Predl,\u00a0Christina Kumpitsch,\u00a0 Verena Zrim,\u00a0Christoph H\u00f6genauer,\u00a0Tomasz Kosciolek,\u00a0 Ruth A.

This study introduces a method for enriching and isolating methanogenic archaea from human fecal samples using methane breath testing, in silico metabolic modeling, media optimization, FACS, dilution series, and Nanopore sequencing. The approach also involves analyzing co-cultured bacteria, comparative genomics, functional analysis, and protein structure-based function prediction. Stable archaeal cultures were established from 14 of 16 fecal samples, yielding nine previously uncultivated strains, eight of which were absent from a recent archaeome genome catalog. Genomic comparisons of <em>Methanobrevibacter smithii<\/em> and <em>Candidatus Methanobrevibacter intestini<\/em> revealed traits potentially linked to gastrointestinal diseases. This work expands available archaeal strains for GIT research and provides new insights into the adaptability of <em>Candidatus Methanobrevibacter intestini<\/em> in the human microbiome.<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:spacer {\"height\":\"40px\",\"epAnimationGeneratedClass\":\"edplus_anim-sMidxN\",\"epGeneratedClass\":\"eplus-wrapper\"} -->\n<div style=\"height:40px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer eplus-wrapper\"><\/div>\n<!-- \/wp:spacer -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph {\"epAnimationGeneratedClass\":\"edplus_anim-TTVH8d\",\"epGeneratedClass\":\"eplus-wrapper\"} -->\n<p class=\" eplus-wrapper\"><strong>DOI<\/strong>: 10.1038\/s41467-024-52037-7<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph {\"epAnimationGeneratedClass\":\"edplus_anim-UXPFFS\",\"epGeneratedClass\":\"eplus-wrapper\"} -->\n<p class=\" eplus-wrapper\"><strong>Keywords<\/strong>: ArchaeaGastrointestinal tract (GIT)Human microbiomeMethanogenic archaeaMethane breath testingFACSNanopore sequencing<em>Methanobrevibacter smithii<\/em><em>Candidatus Methanobrevibacter intestini<\/em>Comparative genomicsFunctional analysisMicrobiome adaptability<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:spacer {\"height\":\"40px\",\"epAnimationGeneratedClass\":\"edplus_anim-sMidxN\",\"epGeneratedClass\":\"eplus-wrapper\"} -->\n<div style=\"height:40px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer eplus-wrapper\"><\/div>\n<!-- \/wp:spacer -->\n\n<!-- wp:acf\/button {\"id\":\"block_67810de554642\",\"name\":\"acf\/button\",\"data\":{\"title\":\"READ HERE\",\"_title\":\"field_61d40397c2f0a\",\"button_type\":\"link\",\"_button_type\":\"field_63bbde3b8f0d0\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/www.nature.com\/articles\/s41467-024-52037-7\",\"_url\":\"field_61d4039bc2f0b\",\"button_style\":\"primary\",\"_button_style\":\"field_63872d045d0f0\",\"target\":\"_self\",\"_target\":\"field_63872c705d0ef\",\"button_extra_classes\":\"\",\"_button_extra_classes\":\"field_642beab6a97de\"},\"align\":\"\",\"mode\":\"edit\"} \/-->","post_title":"Targeted isolation of Methanobrevibacter strains from fecal samples expands the cultivated human archaeome","post_excerpt":"Journal paper in: www.nature.com, 2024","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"targeted-isolation-of-methanobrevibacter-strains-from-fecal-samples-expands-the-cultivated-human-archaeome","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2025-02-03 15:35:48","post_modified_gmt":"2025-02-03 14:35:48","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/sano.science\/?post_type=research&p=20702","menu_order":0,"post_type":"research","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"}]},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/sano.science\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/people\/15459","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/sano.science\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/people"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/sano.science\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/people"}],"version-history":[{"count":7,"href":"https:\/\/sano.science\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/people\/15459\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":22774,"href":"https:\/\/sano.science\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/people\/15459\/revisions\/22774"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sano.science\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/15460"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/sano.science\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=15459"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"people_teams","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sano.science\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/people_teams?post=15459"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
