Sequence statistics of tertiary structural motifs reflect protein stability
The Protein Data Bank (PDB) has been a key resource for learning general rules of sequence-structure relationships in proteins. Quantitative insights have been gained by defining geometric descriptors of structure (e.g., distances, dihedral angles, solvent exposure, etc.) and observing their distributions and sequence preferences. Here we argue that as the PDB continues to grow, it may become u...
متن کاملFrom sequence to structural analysis in protein phosphorylation motifs.
Phosphorylation is the most widely studied post-translational modification occurring in cells. While mass spectrometry-based proteomics experiments are uncovering thousands of novel in vivo phosphorylation sites, the identification of kinase specificity rules still remains a relatively slow and often inefficacious task. In the last twenty years, many efforts have being devoted to the experiment...
متن کاملDo protein motifs read the histone code?
The existence of different patterns of chemical modifications (acetylation, methylation, phosphorylation, ubiquitination and ADP-ribosylation) of the histone tails led, some years ago, to the histone code hypothesis. According to this hypothesis, these modifications would provide binding sites for proteins that can change the chromatin state to either active or repressed. Interestingly, some pr...
متن کاملStructural motifs of the PKD1 protein.
The complete sequence of the polycystic kidney disease gene (PKD1) and its transcript have been described. The predicted protein is not a member of a previously described gene family, but contains several structural motifs that are present in proteins of known function. Most of these domains are present in the extracellular parts of proteins involved in interactions with other proteins and carb...
متن کاملSequence representation and prediction of protein secondary structure for structural motifs in twilight zone proteins.
Characterizing and classifying regularities in protein structure is an important element in uncovering the mechanisms that regulate protein structure, function and evolution. Recent research concentrates on analysis of structural motifs that can be used to describe larger, fold-sized structures based on homologous primary sequences. At the same time, accuracy of secondary protein structure pred...
