Bioinformatical approaches to characterize intrinsically disordered/unstructured proteins
Intrinsically disordered/unstructured proteins exist without a stable three-dimensional (3D) structure as highly flexible conformational ensembles. The available genome sequences revealed that these proteins are surprisingly common and their frequency reaches high proportions in eukaryotes. Due to their vital role in various biological processes including signaling and regulation and their invo...
متن کاملBioinformatical approaches to RNA structure prediction
Motivation: The importance of non-coding RNAs is becoming increasingly evident, andoften the functionof thesemoleculesdepends on the structure. It is common to use alignments of related RNA sequences to deduce the consensus secondary structure by detecting patterns of co-evolution. A central part of such an analysis is to measure covariation between two positions in an alignment. Here, we rank ...
متن کاملDynamic approaches to structural ensembles of intrinsically disordered proteins
Intrinsically disordered proteins a nd c omplex multidomain proteins are characterized by dynamic ensembles of conformations that cannot be unequivocally de scribed by t raditional s tatic te rms o f s tructural b iology. These states of proteins are critical in understanding their function at the atomic level, which will eventually lead to extending the structure-function paradigm to establish...
متن کاملPhage Phenomics: Physiological Approaches to Characterize Novel Viral Proteins
Current investigations into phage-host interactions are dependent on extrapolating knowledge from (meta)genomes. Interestingly, 60 - 95% of all phage sequences share no homology to current annotated proteins. As a result, a large proportion of phage genes are annotated as hypothetical. This reality heavily affects the annotation of both structural and auxiliary metabolic genes. Here we present ...
متن کاملComputational approaches for inferring the functions of intrinsically disordered proteins
Intrinsically disordered proteins (IDPs) are ubiquitously involved in cellular processes and often implicated in human pathological conditions. The critical biological roles of these proteins, despite not adopting a well-defined fold, encouraged structural biologists to revisit their views on the protein structure-function paradigm. Unfortunately, investigating the characteristics and describin...
