Microbiol."],"abstract":"<jats:p>Monkeypox virus, a close relative of variola virus, has significantly increased the incidence of monkeypox disease in humans, with several clinical symptoms. The sporadic spread of the disease outbreaks has resulted in the need for a comprehensive understanding of the molecular mechanisms underlying disease infection and potential therapeutic targets. Protein\u2013protein interactions play a crucial role in various cellular processes and regulate different immune signals during virus infection. Computational algorithms have gained high significance in the prediction of potential protein interaction pairs. Here, we developed a comprehensive database called HuPoxNET (<jats:ext-link>https:\/\/kaabil.net\/hupoxnet\/<\/jats:ext-link>) using the state-of-the-art MERN stack technology. The database leverages two sequence-based computational models to predict strain-specific protein\u2013protein interactions between human and monkeypox virus proteins. Furthermore, various protein annotations of the human and viral proteins such as gene ontology, KEGG pathways, subcellular localization, protein domains, and novel drug targets identified from our study are also available on the database. HuPoxNET is a user-friendly platform for the scientific community to gain more insights into the monkeypox disease infection and aid in the development of therapeutic drugs against the disease.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3389\/fmicb.2024.1399555","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,8,4]],"date-time":"2024-08-04T20:58:24Z","timestamp":1722805104000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3389\/crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Navigating the human-monkeypox virus interactome: HuPoxNET atlas reveals functional insights"],"prefix":"10.3389","volume":"15","author":[{"given":"Raghav","family":"Kataria","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Naveen","family":"Duhan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Rakesh","family":"Kaundal","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1965","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,8,2]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"1153","DOI":"10.1016\/S1473-3099(22)00228-6","article-title":"Clinical features and management of human monkeypox: a retrospective observational study in the UK","volume":"22","author":"Adler","year":"2022","journal-title":"Lancet Infect.
