HGPD: Human Gene and Protein Database, 2012 update

چکیده
The Human Gene and Protein Database (HGPD; http://www.HGPD.jp/) is a unique database that stores information on a set of human Gateway entry clones in addition to protein expression and protein synthesis data. The HGPD was launched in November 2008, and 33,275 human Gateway entry clones have been constructed from the open reading frames (ORFs) of full-length cDNA, thus representing the largest collection in the world. Recently, research objectives have focused on the development of new medicines and the establishment of novel diagnostic methods and medical treatments. And, studies using proteins and protein information, which are closely related to gene function, have been undertaken. For this update, we constructed an additional 9974 human Gateway entry clones, giving a total of 43,249. This set of human Gateway entry clones was named the Human Proteome Expression Resource, known as the 'HuPEX'. In addition, we also classified the clones into 10 groups according to protein function. Moreover, in vivo cellular localization data of proteins for 32,651 human Gateway entry clones were included for retrieval from the HGPD. In 'Information Overview', which presents the search results, the ORF region of each cDNA is now displayed allowing the Gateway entry clones to be searched more easily.

متن کاملComputational approach towards identification of pathogenic missense mutations in AMELX gene and their possible association with amelogenesis imperfecta
Amelogenin gene (AMEL-X) encodes an enamel protein called amelogenin, which plays a vital role in tooth development. Any mutations in this gene or the associated pathway lead to developmental abnormalities of the tooth. The present study aims to analyze functional missense mutations in AMEL-X genes and derive an association with amelogenesis imperfecta. The information on miss...

TP53 acts as a tumor suppressor in cancer. It induces cell cycle arrest or apoptosis in response to cellular stress and damage. p53 gene alteration could cause uncontrolled cell proliferation.In the present study, we used TP53 gene as the seed in the construction of a protein-protein functional association network to identify genes that might involve in tumorgenesis process with TP53. TP53 prot...

Background & Objective: Shigella are Gram negative bacteria capable of inducing their entry into non-phagocytic cells via secretion of various effector proteins called invasion plasmid antigens (Ipas). The most important of them is VirG protein. Live attenuated Shigella vaccines have indicated promise in inducing protective immune responses in human clinical trials. In current situation, const...
