Delgado J, Reche R, Cianferoni D, Orlando G, van der Kant R, Rousseau F, et al.
Bioinformatics . 2025 Feb; 41(2). PMID: 39913370
Motivation: The FoldX force field was originally validated with a database of 1000 mutants at a time when there were few high-resolution structures. Here, we have manually curated a database...

Holtz A, Van Weyenbergh J, Hong S, Cuypers L, OToole A, Dudas G, et al.
BMC Infect Dis . 2024 Oct; 24(1):1139. PMID: 39390446
We investigate the emergence, mutation profile, and dissemination of SARS-CoV-2 lineage B.1.214.2, first identified in Belgium in January 2021. This variant, featuring a 3-amino acid insertion in the spike protein...

Naus E, Derweduwe M, Lampi Y, Claeys A, Pauwels J, Langenberg T, et al.
Cells . 2023 Mar; 12(6). PMID: 36980299
In malignant cancer, excessive amounts of mutant p53 often lead to its aggregation, a feature that was recently identified as druggable. Here, we describe that induction of a heat shock-related...

Janssen K, Claes F, Van de Velde D, Wehbi V, Houben B, Lampi Y, et al.
Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A . 2023 Feb; 120(9):e2214921120. PMID: 36812200
Mutant KRAS is a major driver of oncogenesis in a multitude of cancers but remains a challenging target for classical small molecule drugs, motivating the exploration of alternative approaches. Here,...

van der Kant R, Louros N, Schymkowitz J, Rousseau F
Structure . 2022 May; 30(8):1178-1189.e3. PMID: 35609599
The increasing number of amyloid structures offers an opportunity to investigate the general principles determining amyloid stability and polymorphism. We find that amyloid stability is dominated by ∼30% of residues...

Louros N, van der Kant R, Schymkowitz J, Rousseau F
Bioinformatics . 2022 Feb; 38(9):2636-2638. PMID: 35199146
Summary: Amyloid polymorphism is emerging as a key property that is differentially linked to various conformational diseases, including major neurodegenerative disorders, but also as a feature that potentially relates to...

Michiels E, Roose K, Gallardo R, Khodaparast L, Khodaparast L, van der Kant R, et al.
Nat Commun . 2020 Jun; 11(1):2832. PMID: 32504029
Human amyloids have been shown to interact with viruses and interfere with viral replication. Based on this observation, we employed a synthetic biology approach in which we engineered virus-specific amyloids...

Claes F, Rudyak S, Laird A, Louros N, Beerten J, Debulpaep M, et al.
Protein Eng Des Sel . 2020 May; 32(10):443-457. PMID: 32399571
The accumulation of toxic protein aggregates is thought to play a key role in a range of degenerative pathologies, but it remains unclear why aggregation of polypeptides into non-native assemblies...

J Allergy Clin Immunol . 2020 Apr; 146(5):1180-1193. PMID: 32325141
Background: The molecular cause of severe congenital neutropenia (SCN) is unknown in 30% to 50% of patients. SEC61A1 encodes the α-subunit of the Sec61 complex, which governs endoplasmic reticulum protein...
