The SUPERFAMILY database in structural genomics.
نویسنده
چکیده
The SUPERFAMILY hidden Markov model library representing all proteins of known structure predicts the domain architecture of protein sequences and classifies them at the SCOP superfamily level. This analysis has been carried out on all completely sequenced genomes. The ways in which the database can be useful to crystallographers is discussed, in particular with a view to high-throughput structure determination. The application of the SUPERFAMILY database to different target-selection strategies is suggested: novel folds, novel domain combinations and targeted attacks on genomes. Use of the database for more general inquiry in the context of structural studies is also explained. The database provides evolutionary relationships between target proteins and other proteins of known structure through the SCOP database, genome assignments and multiple sequence alignments.

The SUPERFAMILY database in 2007: families and functions
The SUPERFAMILY database provides protein domain assignments, at the SCOP 'superfamily' level, for the predicted protein sequences in over 400 completed genomes. A superfamily groups together domains of different families which have a common evolutionary ancestor based on structural, functional and sequence data. SUPERFAMILY domain assignments are generated using an expert curated set of profil...
متن کاملSUPFAM - Database of potential protein superfamily relationships derived by comparing sequence-based and structure-based families: Implications for structural genomics and function annotation in genomes
Members of a superfamily of proteins could result from divergent evolution of homologues with insignificant similarity in the amino acid sequences. A superfamily relationship is detected commonly after the three-dimensional structures of the proteins concerned are determined using X-ray analysis or NMR. The SUPFAM database described here relates two homologous protein families in a multiple seq...

متن کاملSUPERFAMILY: HMMs representing all proteins of known structure. SCOP sequence searches, alignments and genome assignments
The SUPERFAMILY database contains a library of hidden Markov models representing all proteins of known structure. The database is based on the SCOP 'superfamily' level of protein domain classification which groups together the most distantly related proteins which have a common evolutionary ancestor. There is a public server at http://supfam.org which provides three services: sequence searching...
متن کاملExtending CATH: increasing coverage of the protein structure universe and linking structure with function
CATH version 3.3 (class, architecture, topology, homology) contains 128,688 domains, 2386 homologous superfamilies and 1233 fold groups, and reflects a major focus on classifying structural genomics (SG) structures and transmembrane proteins, both of which are likely to add structural novelty to the database and therefore increase the coverage of protein fold space within CATH. For CATH version...
