Hunting TPR Domains Using Kleisli.
نویسندگان
چکیده
We have two objectives. First, we want to build a system for detecting tetratricopeptide repeats in protein sequences. Second, we want to demonstrate how the general bioinformatics database integration system called Kleisli can help build such a system easily. We achieve these two objectives by showing that short and clear programs can be written in Kleisli, using its high-level query language CPL, to build a TPR domain hunter by integrating WU-BLAST2.0, HMMER, Entrez, and PFAM.

Ligand binding by TPR domains.
Tetratricopeptide repeat (TPR) domains bind specific peptide ligands and are thought to mediate protein-protein interactions in a variety of biological systems. Here we compare peptide ligand-binding by several different TPR domains. We present specific examples that demonstrate that TPR domains typically undergo little or no structural rearrangement upon ligand binding. Our data suggest that, ...
متن کاملExploring protein domain evolution by designing new TPR-like domains
Proteins are the most abundant and diverse class of biomolecules that mediate the vast majority of biochemical processes. The functional units within a protein are the ”domains” which fold autonomously from the rest of the linear amino acid sequence in the protein. Novelty in protein function often arises as a result of gain, loss or re-shuffling of existing domains. Thus, protein domains can a...
متن کاملStructure and stability of designed TPR protein superhelices: unusual crystal packing and implications for natural TPR proteins.
The structure and stability of repeat proteins has been little studied in comparison to the properties of the more familiar globular proteins. Here, the structure and stability of designed tetratricopeptide-repeat (TPR) proteins is described. The TPR is a 34-amino-acid motif which adopts a helix-turn-helix structure and occurs as tandem repeats. The design of a consensus TPR motif (CTPR) has pr...
متن کاملTPR proteins: the versatile helix.
Tetratrico peptide repeat (TPR) proteins have several interesting properties, including their folding characteristics, modular architecture and range of binding specificities. In the past five years, many 3D structures of TPR domains have been solved, revealing at a molecular level the versatility of this basic fold. Here, we discuss the structure of TPRs and highlight the diversity of arrangem...
متن کاملThe tetratricopeptide repeats of receptors involved in protein translocation across membranes.
Transport of polypeptides across membranes is a general and essential process in every cell. This process is utilized by molecular machines composed of soluble and membrane-inserted proteins. At least one component of the molecular transport machines present in different membranes contains a subunit with a domain composed of 3 tetratricopeptide repeat (TPR) motifs. These domains are important f...
