Canadian PSE is noted for being overly bureaucratic & these proposals (as reasonable as most of them are) are well-suited to paperwork solutions. Same thing that happened with the Naylor & Bouchard reports on federally funded research.

I agree that most of these proposals are reasonable, but they seem biased in the direction of making the effected institutions as anodyne as possible.

The forkhead domain is the more cward of the 2 structured interaction domains: the smaller, nward domain appears to be nameless at the moment.

FOXM1:p (forkhead box family M, member 1) is a transcription factor mainly engaged during G2, controlling the production of proteins necessary for DNA repair. At least some of its pS acceptors are occupied during M phase, presumably to switch off its activity. αβ:IDR = 18:82.

FOXK2:p (forkhead box family K, member 2) is commonly discussed with respect to its similarity of to yesterday's FOXK1:p and assumed to be part of switching on the synthesis of proteins needed for aerobic glycolysis. Its pS acceptor occupation pattern is not identical, though. #proteomics

There Is No Nobel Prize in Economics

It's awarded by Sweden's central bank, foisted among the five real prizewinners, often to economists for the 1% -- and the surviving Nobel family is strongly against it.

I saw "House Full of Dynamite" yesterday & what struck me was how all of the civil servants were portrayed in a manner that was nothing like the behaviour of any US government employee I have ever met.

FOXK1:p (forkhead box family K, member 1) has an nward, structured pS/T peptide binding domain (16%) & a cward forkhead domain (14%). The IDRs (70%) have plenty of conserved pS acceptors, although their role in governing the protein's role in transcriptional activity of is unknown. #proteomics

FOXF1 (forkhead box family F, member 1) has a single structured domain (winged helix DNA-binding/forkhead box) with 2 or 3 well-conserved pS-IDRs. The ratio of residues associated with (α+β):(IDR) is 28:72. #proteomics

Is it true that low complexity sequences are under-represented in MHC class I and/or II peptides? If it is true, what is the mechanism for leaving out these sequences? #proteomics

As is usually the case, the kinase(s) & phosphatase(s) involved are unknown.

FOXA1:p (forkhead box A1) has a single forkhead DNA binding domain just nward of the middle, with a two acceptor phosphoIDR just cward of the middle. Both of the pS acceptors are occupied most of the time. #proteomics

If there is a second DNA-binding domain nward of the homeodomain in the sequence, the active pS acceptors flank this nward domain. Ta-da!
