Gibbs motif sampling: detection of bacterial outer membrane protein repeats.
The detection and alignment of locally conserved regions (motifs) in multiple sequences can provide insight into protein structure, function, and evolution. A new Gibbs sampling algorithm is described that detects motif-encoding regions in sequences and optimally partitions them into distinct motif models; this is illustrated using a set of immunoglobulin fold proteins. When applied to sequence...
متن کاملPhyloGibbs: A Gibbs Sampling Motif Finder That Incorporates Phylogeny
A central problem in the bioinformatics of gene regulation is to find the binding sites for regulatory proteins. One of the most promising approaches toward identifying these short and fuzzy sequence patterns is the comparative analysis of orthologous intergenic regions of related species. This analysis is complicated by various factors. First, one needs to take the phylogenetic relationship be...
متن کاملHybrid Gibbs-sampling algorithm for challenging motif discovery: GibbsDST.
The difficulties of computational discovery of transcription factor binding sites (TFBS) are well represented by (l, d) planted motif challenge problems. Large d problems are difficult, particularly for profile-based motif discovery algorithms. Their local search in the profile space is apparently incompatible with subtle motifs and large mutational distances between the motif occurrences. Here...
متن کاملMultiple pathways allow protein secretion across the bacterial outer membrane.
Secretion of proteins across the bacterial outer membrane takes place via a variety of mechanisms from simple one-component systems to complex multicomponent pathways. Secretion pathways can be organized into evolutionarily and functionally related groups, which highlight their relationship with organelle biogenesis. Recent work is beginning to reveal the structure and function of various secre...
متن کاملMolecular basis of bacterial outer membrane permeability.
INTRODUCTION Bacteria produce cell walls with the exception of mycoplasmas, and the cell wall component common to all eubacteria is the murein, or the peptidoglycan, which contributes mechanical rigidity. All gram-negative bacteria contain an additional layer in the cell wall structure, i.e., the outer membrane, which is located outside the peptidoglycan layer and shows up as a trilaminar struc...
