Protein complexes are fundamental to all biological processes. Public repositories have expanded to include millions of potential protein–protein interactions (PPIs) from human and diverse model organisms. Yet, large-scale structural characterization of these complexes—especially across different biological kingdoms—has lagged far behind, leaving most potential and unidentified interactions unresolved. Here, we present a comprehensive atlas of 1.1 million predicted protein–protein interaction structures generated with the AlphaFold2-based ColabFold framework. This dataset spans proteome-wide interactions from bacteria, archaea, humans, mice, plants, and human–virus pairs. Overall, we identify 181,671 high-confidence protein complex structures, especially 37,855 in the human interactome. Structural clustering revealed numerous conserved protein complex architectures shared across kingdoms, providing insights into previously uncharacterized biological functions. Supported by co-immunoprecipitation experiments, we further identify candidate viral receptors for Human mastadenovirus A and Papiine alphaherpesvirus 2. Comparative analyses integrating our complex structures with the AlphaFold monomeric structure database uncovered widespread gene fusion and fission events during evolution. Finally, we demonstrate how our dataset can enhance protein binding–surface prediction using deep learning approaches, illustrating its broad utility beyond structural modeling alone. Altogether, this atlas to our knowledge, represents one of the most extensive cross-kingdom resources and opens avenues for future discoveries in various biomedical applications.

Head pose estimation from single 2D images has been considered as an important and challenging research task in computer vision. This paper presents a novel head pose estimation method which utilizes the shape model of the Basel face model and five fiducial points in faces. It adjusts shape deformation according to Laplace distribution to afford the shape variation across different persons. A new matching method based on PSO (particle swarm optimization) algorithm is applied both to reduce the time cost of shape reconstruction and to achieve higher accuracy than traditional optimization methods. In order to objectively evaluate accuracy, we proposed a new way to compute the pose estimation errors. Experiments on the BFM-synthetic database, the BU-3DFE database, the CUbiC FacePix database, the CMU PIE face database, and the CAS-PEAL-R1 database show that the proposed method is robust, accurate, and computationally efficient.
