Role of miR-15b/16–2 cluster network in endometrial cancer: An in silico pathway and prognostic analysis
PublicationEndometrial cancer (EC) is the second most common cancer in women. A large number of human cancers exhibit dysregulation of microRNA expression including EC. MiR-15b/16–2 is one of the best-known miRNA clusters that is expressed in many types of cancer tissues. Herein, we analyzed the expression of individual miR-15b/16–2 cluster members, its paralogues, and their target network analysis, as well as their prognostic significance...

Iron–Sulfur Cluster Biogenesis Chaperones: Evidence for Emergence of Mutational Robustness of a Highly Specific Protein–Protein Interaction
PublicationBiogenesis of iron–sulfur clusters (FeS) is a highly conserved process involving Hsp70 and J-protein chaperones. However, Hsp70 specialization differs among species. In most eukaryotes, including Schizosaccharomyces pombe, FeS biogenesis involves interaction between the J-protein Jac1 and the multifunctional Hsp70 Ssc1. But, in Saccharomyces cerevisiae and closely related species, Jac1 interacts with the specialized Hsp70 Ssq1,...

Quasi-Global Optimization of Antenna Structures Using Principal Components and Affine Subspace-Spanned Surrogates
PublicationParametric optimization is a mandatory step in the design of contemporary antenna structures. Conceptual development can only provide rough initial designs that have to be further tuned, often extensively. Given the topological complexity of modern antennas, the design closure necessarily involves full-wave electromagnetic (EM) simulations and—in many cases—global search procedures. Both factors make antenna optimization a computationally...
