Sequence analysis catRAPID signature: identification of ribonucleoproteins and RNA-binding regions
نویسندگان
چکیده
Motivation: Recent technological advances revealed that an unexpected large number of proteins interact with transcripts even if the RNA-binding domains are not annotated. We introduce catRAPID signature to identify ribonucleoproteins based on physico-chemical features instead of sequence similarity searches. The algorithm, trained on human proteins and tested on model organisms, calculates the overall RNA-binding propensity followed by the prediction of RNA-binding regions. catRAPID signature outperforms other algorithms in the identification of RNA-binding proteins and detection of non-classical RNA-binding regions. Results are visualized on a webpage and can be downloaded or forwarded to catRAPID omics for predictions of RNA targets. Availability and implementation: catRAPID signature can be accessed at http://s.tartaglialab.com/ new_submission/signature.

catRAPID signature: identification of ribonucleoproteins and RNA-binding regions
MOTIVATION Recent technological advances revealed that an unexpected large number of proteins interact with transcripts even if they lack annotated RNA-binding domains. We introduce catRAPID signature to identify ribonucleo-proteins based on physico-chemical features instead of sequence similarity searchers. The algorithm, trained on human proteins and tested on model organisms, calculates the ...
متن کاملcatRAPID omics: a web server for large-scale prediction of protein–RNA interactions
SUMMARY Here we introduce catRAPID omics, a server for large-scale calculations of protein-RNA interactions. Our web server allows (i) predictions at proteomic and transcriptomic level; (ii) use of protein and RNA sequences without size restriction; (iii) analysis of nucleic acid binding regions in proteins; and (iv) detection of RNA motifs involved in protein recognition. RESULTS We develope...
متن کاملIdentification of RNA-binding sites in artemin based on docking energy landscapes and molecular dynamics simulation
There are questions concerning the functions of artemin, an abundant stress protein found in Artemiaduring embryo development. It has been reported that artemin binds RNA at high temperatures in vitro, suggesting an RNA protective role. In this study, we investigated the possibility of the presence of RNA-bindingsites and their structural properties in artemin, using docking energy ...
متن کاملNeurodegenerative diseases: quantitative predictions of protein-RNA interactions.
Increasing evidence indicates that RNA plays an active role in a number of neurodegenerative diseases. We recently introduced a theoretical framework, catRAPID, to predict the binding ability of protein and RNA molecules. Here, we use catRAPID to investigate ribonucleoprotein interactions linked to inherited intellectual disability, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, Creutzfeuld-Jakob, Alzheimer's,...
متن کاملElucidation of a C-rich signature motif in target mRNAs of RNA-binding protein TIAR.
The RNA-binding protein TIAR (related to TIA-1 [T-cell-restricted intracellular antigen 1]) was shown to associate with subsets of mRNAs bearing U-rich sequences in their 3' untranslated regions. TIAR can function as a translational repressor, particularly in response to cytotoxic agents. Using unstressed colon cancer cells, collections of mRNAs associated with TIAR were isolated by immunopreci...
