New functional families (FunFams) in CATH to improve the mapping of conserved functional sites to 3D structures

چکیده
CATH version 3.5 (Class, Architecture, Topology, Homology, available at http://www.cathdb.info/) contains 173 536 domains, 2626 homologous superfamilies and 1313 fold groups. When focusing on structural genomics (SG) structures, we observe that the number of new folds for CATH v3.5 is slightly less than for previous releases, and this observation suggests that we may now know the majority of folds that are easily accessible to structure determination. We have improved the accuracy of our functional family (FunFams) sub-classification method and the CATH sequence domain search facility has been extended to provide FunFam annotations for each domain. The CATH website has been redesigned. We have improved the display of functional data and of conserved sequence features associated with FunFams within each CATH superfamily.

Sequence analysis Functional classification of CATH superfamilies: a domain-based approach for protein function annotation
Motivation: Computational approaches that can predict protein functions are essential to bridge the widening function annotation gap especially since <1.0% of all proteins in UniProtKB have been experimentally characterized. We present a domain-based method for protein function classification and prediction of functional sites that exploits functional sub-classification of CATH superfamilies. T...

The CATH database of protein structures contains approximately 18000 domains organized according to their (C)lass, (A)rchitecture, (T)opology and (H)omologous superfamily. Relationships between evolutionary related structures (homologues) within the database have been used to test the sensitivity of various sequence search methods in order to identify relatives in Genbank and other sequence dat...
متن کاملA Structural and Functional View of Polypharmacology
The similarity property principle states that similar compounds have similar properties. In this study, we demonstrate that validity this principle holds well when the drug targets are protein domains. We leverage the similarity property principle to explore the druggability of CATH-FunFams, a type of protein domain and we use the associations between drugs and CATH-FunFams to explore drug poly...
