Evidence
“Evidence from AF-Multimer structural PPI prediction identifying 34 human serine proteases as likely targets of tick protease inhibitor OG0000058 with confidence scores above 0.75.”
“Comparative analysis using pDockQ scores showed only four of 34 AF-Multimer predicted targets fell below the threshold of 0.5; pDockQ provided better biological plausibility for top hits.”
“Discusses instances of parallel and non-parallel evolutionary patterns relevant to gene family diversification and targeting of host proteins.”
“Evidence supporting that rare loss-of-function mutations in SERPINA3 are associated with generalized pustular psoriasis, altering inhibition of cathepsin G.”
