QuasiMotiFinder: protein annotation by searching for evolutionarily conserved motif-like patterns
Sequence signature databases such as PROSITE, which include amino acid segments that are indicative of a protein's function, are useful for protein annotation. Lamentably, the annotation is not always accurate. A signature may be falsely detected in a protein that does not carry out the associated function (false positive prediction, FP) or may be overlooked in a protein that does carry out the...
متن کاملEvolutionarily Conserved Substrate Substructures for Automated Annotation of Enzyme Superfamilies
The evolution of enzymes affects how well a species can adapt to new environmental conditions. During enzyme evolution, certain aspects of molecular function are conserved while other aspects can vary. Aspects of function that are more difficult to change or that need to be reused in multiple contexts are often conserved, while those that vary may indicate functions that are more easily changed...
متن کاملThe pre-mRNA binding K protein contains a novel evolutionarily conserved motif.
The K protein is among the major pre-mRNA-binding proteins (hnRNPs) in vertebrate cell nuclei. It binds tenaciously to cytidine-rich sequences and is the major oligo(rC/dC)-binding protein in vertebrate cells. We have cloned a cDNA of the Xenopus laevis hnRNP K and determined its sequence. The X.laevis hnRNP K is a 47 kD protein that is remarkably similar to its human 66 kD counterpart except f...
متن کاملEvolutionarily Conserved Herpesviral Protein Interaction Networks
Herpesviruses constitute a family of large DNA viruses widely spread in vertebrates and causing a variety of different diseases. They possess dsDNA genomes ranging from 120 to 240 kbp encoding between 70 to 170 open reading frames. We previously reported the protein interaction networks of two herpesviruses, varicella-zoster virus (VZV) and Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (KSHV). In thi...
متن کاملIdentifying Evolutionarily Conserved Protein Interaction Networks
Our goal is to investigate protein networks conserved between different organisms. Given the protein interaction networks for two species and a list of homologous pairs of protein in the two species, we propose a model for measuring whether two subnetworks, one in each protein interaction network, are conserved. Our model separately measures the degree of conservation of the two subnetworks and...
