Question: Background: We present here the recent update of AMS algorithm for identification of post-translational modification (PTM) sites in proteins based only on sequence information, using artificial neural network (ANN) method. The query protein sequence is dissected into overlapping short sequence segments. Ten different physicochemical features describe each amino acid; therefore nine residues long segment is represented as a point in a 90 dimensional space. The database of sequence segments with confirmed by experiments post-translational modification sites are used for training a set of ANNs. The efficiency of the classification for each type of modification and the prediction power of the method is estimated here using recall (sensitivity), precision values, the area under receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves and leave-one-out tests (LOOCV). The significant differences in the performance for differently optimized neural networks are observed, yet the AMS 3.0 tool integrates those heterogeneous classification schemes into the single consensus scheme, and it is able to boost the precision and recall values independent of a PTM type in comparison with the currently available state-of-the art methods. The standalone version of AMS 3.0 presents an efficient way to indentify post-translational modifications for whole proteomes. The training datasets, precompiled binaries for AMS 3.0 tool and the source code are available at Additional file 1 Supplementary materials for the publication. Supplementary.xls contains detailed results of training and testing of AMS 3.0 tool in MS Excel file format. Additional file 2 PTM predictor software with training data. PTM_Archive.tar.gz includes the predictor software binaries together with all trained ANNs in tar.gz compressed form.

Answer: AMS 3.0: prediction of post-translational modifications


Question: Hendra and Nipah viruses are related emergent paramyxoviruses that infect and cause disease in animals and humans. Disease manifests as a generalized vasculitis affecting multiple organs, but is the most severe in the respiratory and central nervous systems. The high case fatality and person-to-person transmission associated with the most recent NiV outbreaks, and the recent re-emergence of HeV, emphasize the importance and necessity of effective therapeutics for these novel agents. In recent years henipavirus research has revealed a more complete understanding of pathogenesis and, as a consequence, viable approaches towards vaccines and therapeutics have emerged. All strategies target early steps in viral replication including receptor binding and membrane fusion. Animal models have been developed, some of which may prove more valuable than others for evaluating the efficacy of therapeutic agents and regimes. Assessments of protective host immunity and drug pharmacokinetics will be crucial to the further advancement of therapeutic compounds.

Answer: Targeted Strategies for Henipavirus Therapeutics


Question: Still disappointing results from a seductive idea • Mucosal surfaces of the respiratory tract represent a major portal of entry for most human viruses and a critical component of the mammalian immunologic repertoire. The major antibody isotype in external secretions is secretory immunoglobin A (S-IgA). The major effector cells in mucosal surfaces, however, are not IgA B cells, but T lymphocytes, which may account for up to 80% of the mucosal lymphoid cell population. • Mucosal immunoprophylaxis is theoretically an important approach to control infections acquired through these portals. Passive antibodies can protect against mucosal viral infections, as shown for respiratory syncytial virus, but very high quantities of passive antibodies are needed to restrict virus replication on mucosal surface. • Factors likely to induce mucosal antibody and cell-mediated immune responses include oral or respiratory routes of immunization and active (effectively replicating) vaccine agents. • Very few antiviral vaccines have been developed to protect the mucosal surface of the respiratory tract, and only an attenuated influenza virus vaccine uses the nasal route. Other vaccines, approved for parenteral use, have been administered experimentally by the nasal route; these include active (replicating) and inactive (nonreplicating) vaccines. By this route they induce only a moderate local mucosal response. • Neither the development of mucosal immunity nor the administration of vaccines via the mucosal route is essential for control or prevention of most respiratory viral infections and diseases acquired through the respiratory tract. Nonetheless, the example of the live attenuated intranasal influenza vaccine, which induces both systemic and local immune response, is promising for the future of mucosal immunization against respiratory viral infections.
