Compositional biases and polyalanine runs in humans.
Human proteins containing polyalanine tracts tend to have runs of other amino acids and their open reading frames (ORFs) display a biased codon usage. Their alanine, glycine, proline, and histidine content strongly correlates with the GC content of the third codon base, suggesting that the compositional specificity of these proteins is dictated to a great extent by the evolution of their ORFs.
متن کاملCompositional inductive biases in function learning.
How do people recognize and learn about complex functional structure? Taking inspiration from other areas of cognitive science, we propose that this is achieved by harnessing compositionality: complex structure is decomposed into simpler building blocks. We formalize this idea within the framework of Bayesian regression using a grammar over Gaussian process kernels, and compare this approach wi...
متن کاملCompositional biases of bacterial genomes and evolutionary implications.
We compare and contrast genome-wide compositional biases and distributions of short oligonucleotides across 15 diverse prokaryotes that have substantial genomic sequence collections. These include seven complete genomes (Escherichia coli, Haemophilus influenzae, Mycoplasma genitalium, Mycoplasma pneumoniae, Synechocystis sp. strain PCC6803, Methanococcus jannaschii, and Pyrobaculum aerophilum)....
متن کاملSimilar compositional biases are caused by very different mutational effects.
Compositional replication strand bias, commonly referred to as GC skew, is present in many genomes of prokaryotes, eukaryotes, and viruses. Although cytosine deamination in ssDNA (resulting in C-->T changes on the leading strand) is often invoked as its major cause, the precise contributions of this and other substitution types are currently unknown. It is also unclear if the underlying mutatio...
متن کاملPolyalanine expansions in human.
Beside the well-known polyglutamine expansions involved in several neurodegenerative disorders, convergent recent findings pointed to the expansion of polyalanine stretches as a disease mechanism in congenital malformations, skeletal dysplasia and nervous system anomalies. Polyalanine stretches have been predicted in roughly 500 human proteins among which nine have been ascribed to disease phen...
