Moraes CRB 6/1357 - ICB/UFMG i Resumo β-glicosidases (EC 3.2.1.21) são enzimas chave no processo de produção de biocombustíveis de segunda geração. Elas agem em conjunto com endoglucanases e exoglucanases na conver- são de biomassa em açúcares fermentáveis. Entretanto, a maior parte das β-glicosidases co- nhecidas são altamente inibidas por grandes concentrações de glicose. Assim, a busca por mu- tações que melhorem a atividade de β-glicosidases não tolerantes a inibição por glicose é de grande importância para a indústria. Nesta tese, é apresentada uma revisão sistemática da lite- ratura para coletar informações sobre β-glicosidases glicose-tolerantes e construir uma base de dados, denominada BETAGDB. Além disso, são caracterizados resíduos importantes no bolsão catalítico para atividade e glicose-tolerância. Por fim, apresenta-se um método baseado na diferença de variação de assinaturas estruturais para propor mutações em enzimas, deno- minado SSV (Structural Signature Variation). SSV usa modelagem em grafos para criar uma assinatura estrutural identificadora de β-glicosidases glicose-tolerantes. O método SSV foi avaliado em três estudos de caso: (i) 27 mutações descritas na literatura foram manualmente classificadas como benéficas ou não. A seguir, a classificação foi reproduzida utilizando SSV. O método obteve uma acurácia de 0,74 e uma precisão de 0,89; (ii) 18 mutações benéficas foram propostas para a β-glicosidase não tolerante Bgl1B. Resultados experimentais de três mutações corroboram os resultados obtidos pelo segundo estudo de caso e demonstram que SSV é um método eficaz para proposta de mutações em β-glicosidases; e (iii) comparou-se SSV com SVM para verificar se a distância euclidiana, métrica usada por SSV para compara- ção de assinaturas, era eficaz. Comparou-se ainda com BioGPS, um método que usa finger- prints para proposta de mutações baseadas em estruturas tridimensionais. SSV obteve valores de precisão e especificidade superiores a SVM. Na comparação com BioGPS, SSV foi capaz de predizer corretamente cinco em sete mutações validadas em bancada que inseriam ativida- de amidase em uma lipase. Os resultados obtidos nesta tese podem ajudar na produção de en- zimas β-glicosidases mutantes capazes de aperfeiçoar a produção de biocombustíveis de se- gunda geração. O método SSV pode ser estendido a outras enzimas e pode ainda ser utilizado em conjunto com outras estratégias e ferramentas para propor mutações mais eficientes. SSV está disponível em: <http://bioinfo.dcc.ufmg.br/ssv>. Palavras-chave: biocombustíveis, β-glicosidases, assinaturas estruturais, mutações, SSV ii Abstract β-glucosidases (EC 3.2.1.21) are key enzymes in the second-generation biofuel production. They act synergically with endoglucanases and exoglucanases in the conversion of biomass to fermentable sugars. However, most known β-glucosidases are highly inhibited by high glu- cose concentrations. Hence, the search for mutations that improve the activity of non-tolerant β-glucosidases has great importance to the industry. In this thesis, I present a systematic re- view of the literature to collect information about glucose-tolerant β-glucosidases and to con- struct a database, called BETAGDB. In addition, important residues for the activity and glu- cose-tolerance were characterized in the catalytic pocket. Finally, I proposed a method based on the difference of variation of structural signatures to propose mutations in enzymes, called Structural Signature Variation (SSV). SSV uses graph modeling to create a structural signa- ture that identifies glucose-tolerant β-glucosidases. The SSV method was evaluated in three case studies: (i) 27 mutations described in the literature were manually classified as benefi- cial or not. The classification was then reproduced using SSV. The method obtained an accu- racy of 0.74 and a precision of 0.89; (ii) 18 beneficial mutations were proposed for the non- tolerant β-glucosidase Bgl1B. Experimental results of three mutations corroborate the out- comes obtained by the second case study and demonstrate that SSV is an effective method for the proposal of mutations in β-glucosidases; and (iii) SSV was compared with SVM to verify whether the Euclidean distance, metric used by SSV for comparison of signatures, was effec- tive. It was also compared with BioGPS, a method that uses fingerprints to propose mutations based on three-dimensional structures. SSV obtained values of precision and specificity supe- rior to SVM. In the comparison to BioGPS, SSV was able to correctly predict five in seven bench-validated mutations that inserted amidase activity into a lipase. The results obtained in this thesis may aid in the production of mutant β-glucosidase enzymes capable of enhancing the production of second-generation biofuels. The SSV method can be extended to other en- zymes and can also be used together to other strategies and tools to propose more efficient mutations. SSV is available at <http://bioinfo.dcc.ufmg.br/ssv>.

Daniel: Hello, I'm Daniel Zomparelli, and I'm afraid of everything and I want to know what scares you, so I've invited people to tell me what they're afraid of. Then I talked with experts to dig a little deeper and get tips on how to deal. This is I'm Afraid That. Daniel: Cockroaches are disgusting. The worst incident I had with the cockroach was while on a family vacation at what I think was Sesame Street Themed Resort. My siblings and I got wasted at their fake nightclub that had an occupancy of about eight people, after too many vodka sodas I passed out. My sister told me later that I forced them at 2:00 AM to get me a grilled cheese. When it finally arrived, I refused to eat it. The next morning I woke up trying to piece together the night before when I was about to walk to the bathroom to shower a giant cockroach fell out of the air conditioner right on top of my head, into my hair. This is all to say that I am very afraid of family vacations now. Someone who is deeply afraid of cockroaches is Nailed It! Nicole Byer. We you talk with her about her deep fear of the bug and then we also talk with cockroach expert, Dr. Phillip G Koehler to learn more about the notorious pest. So we've got a special guest co-host today. Gabe: That's right.

Percebi claramente, contudo, que a fronteira entre esses dois grupos não é, absolutamente, impermeável, de modo que o que se tem é um constante exercício extrajurisdicional da competência (primária) de cada uma dessas pessoas. Em primeiro lugar, teoricamente no primeiro grupo, mas provando que no fundo o que se tem é uma grande cross-fertilization de contribuições, meus pais, acadêmicos sem cujo apoio e amor eu não teria chegado até aqui, e sem cuja influência eu certamente não teria desenvolvido o pensamento crítico que tento esboçar nas linhas deste trabalho. Pela amizade incondicional, fundamental nessa jornada, agradeço às minhas queridas Diana, Helena, Isabela, Naiana, Nicole e Priscila, que redefiniram meu conceito de amizade e cuja companhia me faz falta todo dia.

Perhaps setting the tone was an executive session over the weekend with new HBO pres, programming Casey Bloys, whose first TCA since taking over for departing Michael Lombardo involved tough questions about HBO’s new series “Westworld” (premieres Oct 2) in which a woman is dragged off presumably to be raped in the 1st ep’s opening sequence. Despite the conceit that she is actually a robot who looks human, it spurred questions similar to those raised last year over a rape scene in the net’s “Game of Thrones.” Bloys said violence on those shows is “pretty extreme on all fronts” and “spread equally” across both genders. Critics also pointed out that the net’s “The Night Of” also centers on a brutalized female victim. After critics persisted, Bloys did say that HBO isn’t tone deaf on the issue. “To your larger point of is it something we think about, yeah. I think the criticism is valid,” he said. “So I think it’s something that people take into account.” The racial issue has also permeated TCA, with critics pointing out that HBO’s new comedy “Vice Principals” pits two white men against a black woman whose job they covet.

    NON-FICTION TO STAND AND STARE: How To Garden While Doing Next to Nothing Andrew Timothy O’Brien There’s a lot of advice out there that would tell you how to do numerous things in your garden. But not so much that invites you to think about how to be while you’re out there. With increasingly busy lives, yet another list of chores seems like the very last thing any of us needs when it comes to our own practice of self-care, relaxation and renewal. After all, aren’t these the things we wanted to escape to the garden for in the first place? Put aside the ‘Jobs to do this week’ section in the Sunday papers. What if there were a more low-intervention way to On submission Spring 2021 garden, some reciprocal arrangement through which both you and your soil get fed, with the minimum degree of fuss, effort and guilt on your part, and the maximum measure of healthy, organic growth on that of your garden? In To Stand and Stare, Andrew Timothy O’Brien weaves together strands of botany, philosophy and mindfulness to form an ecological narrative suffused with practical gardening know-how. Informed by a deep understanding and appreciation of natural processes, O’Brien encourages the reader to think from the ground up, as we follow the pattern of a plant’s growth through the season – roots, shoots, and fruits – while advocating an increased awareness of our surroundings.
