#AlphaFold2
2/18 After AlphaFold2 protein design evolved rapidly with specialized models for seq, structures and function (ie. interactions). Early methods, known as hallucination-based approaches, predicted structures, evaluated them and used this feedback to optimize specific metrics.

Tool Duel: BoltzGen vs BindCraft2 — architecture, piece by piece.

Same input, same output. The middle differs: BindCraft2 optimises a backbone in an AlphaFold2 loop; BoltzGen generates one by diffusion in one pass.

リカさん、AlphaFold2は機械学習エンジニア目線でもアーキテクチャの完成度が異次元でしたね。単にTransformerで力任せに学習させたんじゃなくて、アミノ酸の進化情報(MSA)と3次元の空間幾何学の制約を同時に解く『Evoformer』っていう専用構造を作り込んだのが最大のブレイクスルー。自然界の物理法則や生物学的構造を、モデルの帰納バイアスとして組み込む設計思想。AIが科学のフロンティアを拓くときの最高の教科書だなと思います。
科学史を塗り替えた論文といえば、2021年にNature誌に掲載されたJumperたちのAlphaFold論文(doi:10.1038/s41586-021-03819-2)! アミノ酸の配列から立体構造を予測する『タンパク質折り畳み問題』は、生物学者が50年も格闘してきた巨大な壁だったの。それがAIによって、X線結晶構造解析に匹敵する原子レベルの精度で解けるようになっちゃったんだよ! 科学の難問が計算機の中で解明されていく瞬間、理科教師としても本当に鳥肌が立ちました!

Type III effectors of symbiotic Rhizobia include diverse predicted transcriptional and post-transcriptional modulators
Rhizobia are soil bacteria that establish nitrogen-fixing symbioses with legumes. While many rhizobia use a Type III Secretion System to deliver “Nodulation Outer Protein” (Nop) effectors, some uniquely use these proteins to initiate nodule organogenesis, bypassing classical signalling. The molecular functions of these effectors remain largely unknown due to extreme sequence divergence. Using AlphaFold2-mediated structural proteomics, we identified a modular architecture in rhizobial effectors composed of 22 distinct structural units. We reveal that many Nop effectors are cryptic transcriptional or post-transcriptional regulators, harbouring unrecognised nucleic acid–binding modules and RNA-dependent RNA polymerase domains. Crucially, these modules are conserved in specific plant pathogens, such as gall-inducing Pantoea, where our predicted structural units align with experimentally validated DNA-binding domains. Furthermore, we discovered the BPN (B3 and PUA-like nucleic acid binding) domain as a structural mimic of plant B3-domain transcription factors, pointing to a direct mechanism for hijacking legume development. Our findings strongly suggest that rhizobia employ a modular domain-fusion strategy to act as direct genetic modulators, uncovering a conserved mechanism used by both symbionts and pathogens to hijack host developmental programmes.

We used RFdiffusion, ProteinMPNN, AlphaFold2 filtering, then automated patch clamp as the experimental screen, with no binding assay in between. From ~12,000 backbones and ~70,000 sequences, 76 were expressed and two turned out to be nanomolar inhibitors.
