Approximate geodesic distances reveal biologically relevant structures in microarray data
MOTIVATION Genome-wide gene expression measurements, as currently determined by the microarray technology, can be represented mathematically as points in a high-dimensional gene expression space. Genes interact with each other in regulatory networks, restricting the cellular gene expression profiles to a certain manifold, or surface, in gene expression space. To obtain knowledge about this mani...
متن کاملCrystal structures of β-1,4-galactosyltransferase 7 enzyme reveal conformational changes and substrate binding.
The β-1,4-galactosyltransferase 7 (β4GalT7) enzyme is involved in proteoglycan synthesis. In the presence of a manganese ion, it transfers galactose from UDP-galactose to xylose on a proteoglycan acceptor substrate. We present here the crystal structures of human β4GalT7 in open and closed conformations. A comparison of these crystal structures shows that, upon manganese and UDP or UDP-Gal bind...
متن کاملBiologically Relevant Multiple Sequence
BIOLOGICALLY RELEVANT MULTIPLE SEQUENCE ALIGNMENT Hyrum D. Carroll Department of Computer Science Doctor of Philosophy Researchers use multiple sequence alignment algorithms to detect conserved regions in genetic sequences and to identify drug docking sites for drug development. In this dissertation, a novel algorithm is presented for using physicochemical properties to increase the accuracy of...
متن کاملBioMe: biologically relevant metals
In this article, we introduce BioMe (biologically relevant metals), a web-based platform for calculation of various statistical properties of metal-binding sites. Users can obtain the following statistical properties: presence of selected ligands in metal coordination sphere, distribution of coordination numbers, percentage of metal ions coordinated by the combination of selected ligands, distr...
متن کاملCrystal Structures of Archaemetzincin Reveal a Moldable Substrate-Binding Site
BACKGROUND Archaemetzincins are metalloproteases occurring in archaea and some mammalia. They are distinct from all the other metzincins by their extended active site consensus sequence HEXXHXXGXXHCX(4)CXMX(17)CXXC featuring four conserved cysteine residues. Very little is known about their biological importance and structure-function relationships. PRINCIPAL FINDINGS Here we present three cr...
