SIMBA, a novel quantitative intracellular peptide binding assay, is now on BioRxiv. It excels at saturation mutagenesis studies to define SLiM-binding determinants. This collaboration with the Pryciak group at UMass is the first of many, so keep a look out https://t.co/E2m6GVZPQH

Congratulations to @IfigeniaT42 and Iza on the publication of CompariPSSM - a PSSM–PSSM comparison tool for motif-binding determinant analysis. This part of Ifigenia's her recently completed PhD work and her first first author paper. Check it out here: https://t.co/cwT08Ciw8N

Have you ever wondered how many of the human SLiMs are required for cell viability? We mutated them all to find out in another extremely fun collaboration with the @NilssonLabCph group. The results are now on bioRxiv https://t.co/UKttv5D4su. Check it out!

[Jakob Nilsson @NilssonLabCph]

Great collaboration with the @DaveyLab on defining short linear motifs required for cell fitness using base editor screens. Hundreds of novel functional SLiMs to explore!

Excited to present a new docking motif for IKK (Inhibitor of κB (IκB) kinase)! A great collaboration with the Zanier lab at the ESBS showed a YDDΦxΦ motif in IκBα, IκBβ and p100 recruits IKK.

Hazem's FaSTPACE paper is out, a novel tool for rapid peptide alignment and motif extraction! It's fast enough to tackle 1000s of peptides - just what's needed to tackle the recent explosion in high-throughput peptide discovery methods. Read here: https://t.co/XleFrgFEPh

Our new paper with the @Ivarssonlab &
@NilssonLabCph teams
characterising mutations in intrinsically disordered regions on a proteome-wide scale! We show numerous examples of disease-causing SNVs making and breaking SLiMs in work driven by Johanna Kliche. https://t.co/OIMta2OD7P

[Short Linear Motif team @DaveyLab]

There's an associated database to make it easier to explore the data. Check it out here https://t.co/dWPMkrT6T7

[Short Linear Motif team @DaveyLab]

Our work on protein/phosphorylation abundance changes through the cell cycle is on bioRxiv. Very much an ICR Division of Cancer Biology project (Thanks to @jc4_jyoti @MansfeldLab @PinesLab teams). All pushed to completion by Camilla, Ifigenia and Theo. https://t.co/KIo17Cg43K

[Jakob Nilsson @NilssonLabCph]

Cool work from @duxin_lab on Pol Kappa. Happy that my lab together with @DaveyLab could contribute with base editing screening in cells.

@fugueur @PhloxBooks Thanks for a super evening. Looking forward to getting started on the book. And thank you Phlox for letting us chat way past closing time. As promised here's the link to the photo of Pink Floyd from Wooburn Green Cricket Club https://t.co/CrtercrscP

[Short Linear Motif team @DaveyLab]

We have an open PhD position applying mass spectrometry-based approaches to peptide interactomics for motif discovery. It's an exciting interdisciplinary project with the Choudhary lab for someone with a strong computational background. Details here: https://t.co/zHcAnb8GnO

Latest screen exploring how #disease-associated #SNVs in IDRs affect SLiM-based #protein-protein #interactions is now up on bioRxiv. Another fun collaboration with the @Ivarssonlab/@NilssonLabCph labs driven by the amazing team of Johanna and Leandro. https://t.co/AueuAgF16h

[Short Linear Motif team @DaveyLab]

The servers are all back online after their little summer holiday. Everything has been upgraded and there may be a few issues so let us know if you see anything odd.

[Short Linear Motif team @DaveyLab]

Our resources (ProViz, PSSMSearch, SLiMSearch, xProtCAS, etc) will be down for a couple of days for updates to the server. Sorry if anyone is in need of some summer motif hunting. But hopefully most of you are on holidays.

Minimum Information About Disorder Experiments (MIADE) guidelines provide community recommendations on the minimum information that should be reported with experiments that structurally characterize intrinsically disordered proteins or regions.

[Bálint Mészáros @_BalintMeszaros]

Time to get the disordered protein field a bit more ordered! We propose guidelines on how to describe IDP experiments to better serve experimental researchers, computational biologists, and database/method developers. This was a fun community wide effort led by @DaveyLab

[Short Linear Motif team @DaveyLab]

There has been a revolution in the complexity of the experiments characterising the structural properties of IDRs. This revolution has not been reflected by advances in the data standardisation of the field. Now is the time to put those foundational concepts in place.

[Short Linear Motif team @DaveyLab]

The MIADE paper defining minimum information guidelines for the structural IDP field is out today in @naturemethods. I'm so thankful to the MIADE team, @_BalintMeszaros, Kim, @NPalopoli, Fede, Andras and Eduardo, for helping push the project to completion. https://t.co/7Rs4a2NCuQ

[Short Linear Motif team @DaveyLab]

The idea is simple. The growing understanding of the significance of IDRs by researchers outside the IDP field has increased the importance of making high quality, unambiguous and understandable IDP data accessible to the wider community.
