SDR: a database of predicted specificity-determining residues in proteins
نویسندگان
چکیده
The specificity-determining residue database (SDR database) presents residue positions where mutations are predicted to have changed protein function in large protein families. Because the database pre-calculates predictions on existing protein sequence alignments, users can quickly find the predictions by selecting the appropriate protein family or searching by protein sequence. Predictions can be used to guide mutagenesis or to gain a better understanding of specificity changes in a protein family. The database is available on the web at http://paradox.harvard.edu/sdr.

Predicting GPCR-G-protein coupling using hidden Markov models
MOTIVATION Determining the coupling specificity of G-protein coupled receptors (GPCRs) is important for understanding the biology of this class of pharmacologically important proteins. Currently available in silico methods for predicting GPCR-G-protein coupling specificity have high error rate. METHOD We introduce a new approach for creating hidden Markov models (HMMs) based on a first guess ...
متن کاملHotRegion: a database of predicted hot spot clusters
Hot spots are energetically important residues at protein interfaces and they are not randomly distributed across the interface but rather clustered. These clustered hot spots form hot regions. Hot regions are important for the stability of protein complexes, as well as providing specificity to binding sites. We propose a database called HotRegion, which provides the hot region information of t...
متن کاملInvestigating the Function of Predicted Proteins from RNA-Seq Data in Holstein and Cholistani Cattle Breeds
This study was performed to determine the digital expression profile of different genes expressed in Holstein and Cholistani breeds as well as to evaluate the performance of predicted proteins derived from differentially expressed genes between these two breeds using RNA-Seq data. For this purpose, the whole mRNA sequence for a blood sample of American Holstein and Pakistani Cholistani cattle p...
متن کاملFinding of residues crucial for supersecondary structure formation.
This work evaluates the hypothesis that proteins with an identical supersecondary structure (SSS) share a unique set of residues--SSS-determining residues--even though they may belong to different protein families and have very low sequence similarities. This hypothesis was tested on two groups of sandwich-like proteins (SPs). Proteins in each group have an identical SSS, but their sequence sim...
متن کاملSDPpred: a tool for prediction of amino acid residues that determine differences in functional specificity of homologous proteins
SDPpred (Specificity Determining Position prediction) is a tool for prediction of residues in protein sequences that determine the proteins' functional specificity. It is designed for analysis of protein families whose members have biochemically similar but not identical interaction partners (e.g. different substrates for a family of transporters). SDPpred predicts residues that could be respon...
