Automatic methods for predicting functionally important residues.
Sequence analysis is often the first guide for the prediction of residues in a protein family that may have functional significance. A few methods have been proposed which use the division of protein families into subfamilies in the search for those positions that could have some functional significance for the whole family, but at the same time which exhibit the specificity of each subfamily (...
متن کاملFunctionally important arginine residues of aspartate transcarbamylase.
The reaction of phenylglyoxal with aspartate transcarbamylase and its isolated catalytic subunit results in complete loss of enzymatic activity (Kantrowitz, E. R., and Lipscomb, W. N. (1976) J. Biol. Chem. 251, 2688-2695). If N-(phosphonacetyl)-L-aspartate is used to protect the active site, we find that phenylglyoxal causes destruction of the enzyme's susceptibility to activation by ATP and in...
متن کاملPredict Functionally Important Residues Responsible for Estrogen Receptor Subtype Divergence
The estrogen receptor (ER) is a ligand-activated transcription factor that mediates the physiological effects of the female sex steroid hormone 17 beta estradiol (E2), and regulates the expression of genes involved in the growth, development and function of a diverge range of tissues. The ER is a member of nuclear receptor (NR) superfamily, which shares a common structural organization includin...
متن کاملInsilco analysis of functionally important residues in folate receptors
Lack of crystal structure data of folate binding proteins has left so many questions unanswered (for example, important residues in active site, binding domain, important amino acid residues involved in interactions between ligand and receptor). With sequence alignment and PROSITE motif identification, we attempted to answer evolutionarily significant residues that are of functional importance ...
متن کاملfirestar—advances in the prediction of functionally important residues
firestar is a server for predicting catalytic and ligand-binding residues in protein sequences. Here, we present the important developments since the first release of firestar. Previous versions of the server required human interpretation of the results; the server is now fully automatized. firestar has been implemented as a web service and can now be run in high-throughput mode. Prediction cov...
