Functional prediction of hypothetical proteins in human adenoviruses
نویسندگان
چکیده
Assigning functional information to hypothetical proteins in virus genomes is crucial for gaining insight into their proteomes. Human adenoviruses are medium sized viruses that cause a range of diseases. Their genomes possess proteins with uncharacterized function known as hypothetical proteins. Using a wide range of protein function prediction servers, functional information was obtained about these hypothetical proteins. A comparison of functional information obtained from these servers revealed that some of them produced functional information, while others provided little functional information about these human adenovirus hypothetical proteins. The PFP, ESG, PSIPRED, 3d2GO, and ProtFun servers produced the most functional information regarding these hypothetical proteins.

متن کامل'Conserved hypothetical' proteins: prioritization of targets for experimental study.
Comparative genomics shows that a substantial fraction of the genes in sequenced genomes encodes 'conserved hypothetical' proteins, i.e. those that are found in organisms from several phylogenetic lineages but have not been functionally characterized. Here, we briefly discuss recent progress in functional characterization of prokaryotic 'conserved hypothetical' proteins and the possible criteri...
