The propagation of the most ancient SVA type A took place about 13.5 Myrs ago, and the youngest SVA types appeared in the human genome after the chimpanzee divergence. Functional enrichment analysis of genes associated with SVA insertions demonstrated their strong link to multiple ontological categories attributed to brain function and the disorders. SVA types that expanded their presence in the human genome at different stages of hominoid life history were also associated with progressively evolving behavioural features that indicated a potential impact of SVA propagation on a cognitive ability of a modern human.

The engineered variant (chymotrypsiN, ChyB-Asn) demonstrated an altered substrate specificity with an expanded preference for Asn- containing substrates. We confirmed that protein engineering did not compromise the stability of the enzyme by biophysical characterization. Comparison of wild-type ChyB and ChyB- Asn in profiling lysates of HEK293 cells demonstrated both qualitative and quantitative differences in the nature of the peptides and proteins identified by liquid chromatography and tandem mass spectrometry. ChyB-Asn enabled the identi- fication of partially glycosylated Asn sites within a model glycoprotein and in the extracellular proteome of Jurkat T cells. ChymotrypsiN is a valuable addition to the toolkit of proteases to aid the mapping of N-linked glycosylation sites within proteins and

Open data enables researchers to accelerate cancer studies, save resources and foster collaboration. Several tools and programming approaches are available for analyzing data, including annotation, clustering, comparison and extrapolation, merging, enrichment, functional association and statistics. We exploit openly available data via cancer gene expression analysis, we apply refinement as well as enrichment analysis via gene ontology and conclude with graph-based visualization of involved protein interaction networks as a basis for signaling. The different databases allowed for the construction of huge networks or specified ones consisting of high-confidence interactions only. Several genes associated to glioma were isolated via a network analysis from top hub nodes as well as from an outlier analysis. The latter approach highlights a mitogen-activated protein kinase next to a member of histondeacetylases and a protein phosphatase as genes uncommonly associated with glioma. Cluster analysis from top hub nodes lists several identified glioma-associated gene products to function within protein complexes, including epidermal growth factors as well as cell cycle proteins or RAS proto-oncogenes.
