Protein function annotation using protein domain family resources.
As a result of the genome sequencing and structural genomics initiatives, we have a wealth of protein sequence and structural data. However, only about 1% of these proteins have experimental functional annotations. As a result, computational approaches that can predict protein functions are essential in bridging this widening annotation gap. This article reviews the current approaches of protei...
متن کاملStructure Based Identification of Protein Family Signatures for Function Annotation
2 Introduction Protein sequences are known to evolve much faster than structures. Pairs of distantly homologous proteins with very low sequence similarity may still share very similar folds and functions. One example of well-preserved structural motifs is given by specific three-dimensional orientations of amino acid residues in the active site of a protein, which are responsible for protein’s ...
متن کاملAutomatic annotation of protein function based on family identification.
Although genomes are being sequenced at an impressive rate, the information generated tells us little about protein function, which is slow to characterize by traditional methods. Automatic protein function annotation based on computational methods has alleviated this imbalance. The most powerful current approach for inferring the function of new proteins is by studying the annotations of their...
متن کاملChallenges for protein family annotation
In the wake of the many fruitful genome projects, tools to aid the annotation of proteomic data are sorely needed. Building from relatively simplistic approaches to an integrated system developed in collaboration with text mining experts, we have created tools capable of producing core annotation for protein families; but many challenges remain. Extending and improving these tools should have w...
متن کاملIntegrating protein annotation resources through the Distributed Annotation System
Using the Distributed Annotation System (DAS) we have created a protein annotation resource available at our web page: http://www.cbs.dtu.dk, as a part of the BioSapiens Network of Excellence EU FP6 project. The DAS protocol allows us to gather layers of annotation data for a given sequence and thereby gain an overview of the sequence's features. A user-friendly graphical client has also been d...
