STAM: simple Transmembrane Alignment Method
MOTIVATION The database of transmembrane protein (TMP) structures is still very small. At the same time, more and more TMP sequences are being determined. Molecular modeling is an interim answer that may bridge the gap between the two databases. The first step in homology modeling is to achieve a good alignment between the target sequences and the template structure. However, since most algorit...
متن کاملMultiple Alignment of Transmembrane Protein Sequences
Multiple sequence alignment remains one of the most powerful tools for assessing evolutionary sequence relationships and the identification of structurally and functionally important protein regions. Membrane-bound proteins represent a special class of proteins. The regions that insert into the cell-membrane have a profoundly different hydrophobicity pattern as compared with soluble proteins. M...
متن کاملSynergistic antimicrobial activity of tea & antibiotics.
Tea leaves are known for its antibacterial activity against many microorganisms. In this study we attempted to describe the synergistic antimicrobial activity of tea and antibiotics against enteropathogens. Antimicrobial activity of boiled water tea extract and organic solvent extract were studied against Salmonella typhimurium 1402/84, S. typhi, S. typhi Ty2a, Shigella dysenteriae, Yersinia en...
متن کاملAlignment of transmembrane regions in the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator chloride channel pore
Different transmembrane (TM) α helices are known to line the pore of the cystic fibrosis TM conductance regulator (CFTR) Cl(-) channel. However, the relative alignment of these TMs in the three-dimensional structure of the pore is not known. We have used patch-clamp recording to investigate the accessibility of cytoplasmically applied cysteine-reactive reagents to cysteines introduced along the...
متن کاملSynergistic control of cellular adhesion by transmembrane 9 proteins.
The transmembrane 9 (TM9) family of proteins contains numerous members in eukaryotes. Although their function remains essentially unknown in higher eukaryotes, the Dictyostelium discoideum Phg1a TM9 protein was recently reported to be essential for cellular adhesion and phagocytosis. Herein, the function of Phg1a and of a new divergent member of the TM9 family called Phg1b was further investiga...
