Prediction of viable circular permutants using a graph theoretic approach
MOTIVATION In recent years graph-theoretic descriptions have been applied to aid the analysis of a number of complex biological systems. However, such an approach has only just begun to be applied to examine protein structures and the network of interactions between residues with promising results. Here we examine whether a graph measure known as closeness is capable of predicting regions where...
متن کاملCircular Permutation Prediction Reveals a Viable Backbone Disconnection for Split Proteins: An Approach in Identifying a New Functional Split Intein
Split-protein systems have emerged as a powerful tool for detecting biomolecular interactions and reporting biological reactions. However, reliable methods for identifying viable split sites are still unavailable. In this study, we demonstrated the feasibility that valid circular permutation (CP) sites in proteins have the potential to act as split sites and that CP prediction can be used to se...
متن کاملCPDB: a database of circular permutation in proteins
Circular permutation (CP) in a protein can be considered as if its sequence were circularized followed by a creation of termini at a new location. Since the first observation of CP in 1979, a substantial number of studies have concluded that circular permutants (CPs) usually retain native structures and functions, sometimes with increased stability or functional diversity. Although this interes...
متن کاملTransition states for folding of circular-permuted proteins.
To explore the role of entropy and chain connectivity in protein folding, a particularly interesting scheme, namely, the circular permutation, has been used. Recently, experimental observations showed that there are large differences in the folding mechanisms between the wild-type proteins and their circular permutants. These differences are strongly related to the change in the intrachain conn...
متن کاملCircular Permutation of Red Fluorescent Proteins
Circular permutation of fluorescent proteins provides a substrate for the design of molecular sensors. Here we describe a systematic exploration of permutation sites for mCherry and mKate using a tandem fusion template approach. Circular permutants retaining more than 60% (mCherry) and 90% (mKate) brightness of the parent molecules are reported, as well as a quantitative evaluation of the fluor...
