However, in germ cells, CEP55 forms intercellular bridges with testis-expressed gene 14 (TEX14), which blocks the cell abscission. These intercellular bridges play important roles in the synchronization of the germ cells and facilitate the coordinated passage of organelles and molecules between germ cells. If TEX14 is intentionally removed, intercellular bridges are disrupted, leading to sterility. Hence, a deeper understanding regarding the roles of TEX14 can provide significant insights into the inactivation of abscission and the inhibition of proliferation in cancer cells. Previous experimental studies have shown that the high affinity and low dissociation rate of TEX14 for CEP55 prevent ALIX from binding CEP55 and inactivate the germ cell abscission. However, detailed information about how TEX14 interacts with CEP55 to prevent the cell abscission is still lacking. To gain more specific insights into the interactions between CEP55 and TEX14 and the difference in reactivity between TEX14 and ALIX, we performed well-tempered metadynamics simulations of these protein complexes using atomistic models of CEP55, TEX14, and ALIX. We identified the major binding residues of TEX14 and ALIX with CEP55 by using 2D Gibbs free energy evaluations, the results of which are consistent with previous experimental studies. Our results may help design synthetic TEX14 mimicking peptides, which can bind CEP55 and facilitate the inactivation of abscission in abnormal cells, including cancer cells.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1063\/5.0153799","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,7,6]],"date-time":"2023-07-06T10:14:15Z","timestamp":1688638455000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1063\/aip-crossmark-policy-page","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Inhibition mechanism of testis-expressed gene 14 (TEX14) in cytokinetic abscission: Well-tempered metadynamics simulation studies"],"prefix":"10.1063","volume":"159","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2881-4551","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Yunju","family":"Cho","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"LT Materials 1 , Gyeonggi-Do 11319, Republic of Korea"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8374-1389","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Youhyun","family":"Nam","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Applied Chemistry, University of Seoul 2 , Seoul 02504, Republic of Korea"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1168-2484","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Hyung Ho","family":"Lee","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Chemistry, Seoul National University 3 , Seoul 08826, Republic of Korea"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5900-3121","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Rakwoo","family":"Chang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Applied Chemistry, University of Seoul 2 , Seoul 02504, Republic of Korea"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"317","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,7,6]]},"reference":[{"key":"2023070610135370700_c1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"29","DOI":"10.1146\/annurev-cellbio-101011-155718","volume":"28","year":"2012","journal-title":"Annu.
