AutoCoEv – a high-throughput in silico pipeline for predicting novel protein-protein interactions

AutoCoEv is a user-friendly computational pipeline for the search of co-evolution between hundreds and even thousands of proteins. Driving over 10 individual programs, with CAPS2 as a key software for co-evolution detection, AutoCoEv achieves seamless automation and parallelization of the workflow.

Analysis of intracellular vesicles in B lymphocytes: Antigen traffic in the spotlight

The Script should be run with FIJI (ImageJ). Upon B cell activation, antigen is rapidly internalised followed by trafficking of the antigen-containing vesicles towards a perinuclear compartment close to the MTOC. Here, we provide an example of how to use the open-source software Fiji and its 3D object counter function to quantitatively analyse the number of antigen vesicles and their distance from MTOC, as a proxy of vesicle clustering. MTOC is marked with anti-PCM1 antibodies and identified as the brightest spot in the channel.

Area perimeter intensity ImageJ script
The script is run in ImageJ (New>Script>Open>”path of script”). User selects the location containing no other files than acquired image files. The script works on Zeiss (.czi) files, but might work on other image file types. The images are automaticaly opened and the user is asked for the number of cells to be selected. Each selected cell is individually duplicated. On each duplicate the parameters of phalloidin channel such as intensity value, area etc are measured based on GLOBAL thresholding within duplication area. On each duplicate the parameters of pTyr channel such as intensity value, area etc are measured based on LOCAL thresholding within duplication area. The script runs all the images in the folder. The script creates a folder “processed” which contains the composite image with marked global and local thresholding of each selected cell in the image. The script produces a “results.txt” file, that contains all the measured parameters, each row representing one selection with variables separated by “;”. The “results.txt” file can be opened and analysed further in programs such as MS Excell. The user can compare the selections marked in composite image with the values in the “results.txt” as they are marked with unique matching identifiers based on original image file names.
