Transmembrane helices predicted at 95% accuracy.
We describe a neural network system that predicts the locations of transmembrane helices in integral membrane proteins. By using evolutionary information as input to the network system, the method significantly improved on a previously published neural network prediction method that had been based on single sequence information. The input data were derived from multiple alignments for each posi...
متن کاملStatistical analysis of predicted transmembrane K-helices
Statistical analyses were undertaken for putative transmembrane K-helices obtained from a database representing the subset of membrane proteins available in Swiss-Prot. The average length of a transmembrane K-helix was found to be 22^21 amino acids with a large variation around the mean. The transfer free energy from water to oil of a transmembrane K-helix in bitopic proteins, 348 kcal/mol, is ...
متن کاملMemBrain: Improving the Accuracy of Predicting Transmembrane Helices
Prediction of transmembrane helices (TMH) in alpha helical membrane proteins provides valuable information about the protein topology when the high resolution structures are not available. Many predictors have been developed based on either amino acid hydrophobicity scale or pure statistical approaches. While these predictors perform reasonably well in identifying the number of TMHs in a protei...
متن کاملHow translocons select transmembrane helices.
Like all cellular proteins, membrane proteins are synthesized by ribosomes. But unlike their soluble counterparts, highly hydrophobic membrane proteins require auxiliary machineries to prevent aggregation in aqueous cellular compartments. The principal machine is the translocon, which works in concert with ribosomes to manage the orderly insertion of alpha-helical membrane proteins directly int...
متن کاملStructural features of transmembrane helices.
A total of 160 transmembrane helices of 15 non-homologous high-resolution X-ray protein structures have been analyzed in respect of their structural features. The dihedral angles and hydrogen bonds of the helical sections that span the hydrophobic interior of the lipid bilayer have been investigated. The Ramachandran plot of protein channels and solute transporters exhibit a significant shift D...
