Impact of BRCA1 BRCT Domain Missense Substitutions on Phosphopeptide Recognition
The BRCA1 BRCT domain binds pSer-x-x-Phe motifs in partner proteins to regulate the cellular response to DNA damage. Approximately 120 distinct missense variants have been identified in the BRCA1 BRCT through breast cancer screening, and several of these have been linked to an increased cancer risk. Here we probe the structures and peptide-binding activities of variants that affect the BRCA1 BR...
متن کاملClassification of rare missense substitutions, using risk surfaces, with genetic- and molecular-epidemiology applications.
Many individually rare missense substitutions are encountered during deep resequencing of candidate susceptibility genes and clinical mutation screening of known susceptibility genes. BRCA1 and BRCA2 are among the most resequenced of all genes, and clinical mutation screening of these genes provides an extensive data set for analysis of rare missense substitutions. Align-GVGD is a mathematicall...
متن کاملNeutral mutations and neutral substitutions in bacterial genomes.
Molecular evolutionary biologists usually assess the underlying spectrum of mutations within a bacterial genome by examining substitutions that occur at sites believed to be under no selective constraints. Alternatively, bacterial mutation rates can also be estimated in a variety of experimental systems. The two classes of changes occurring in DNA sequences-i.e., mutations and neutral substitut...
متن کاملDetection of neutral amino acid substitutions in proteins.
The field of biochemical genetics relies heavily upon the detection by electrophoresis of genetically determined variants of proteins. Most of these variants differ by substitutions that involve charged amino acids. Genetic variants of another large class, ones that involve substitutions among neutral amino acids, are not easily detected and are often ignored. Ampholyte isoelectric focusing in ...
متن کاملDFT Study on Oxygen-Vacancy Stability in Rutile/Anatase TiO2: Effect of Cationic Substitutions
In this study, a full-potential density functional theory was used to investigate the effects of Ti substitution by different cations. In both rutile and anatase, Ti atom was replaced by Ce, Au, Sn, Ag, Mo, Nb, Zr, and Y. Phase stability, electronic structure and formation energy of oxygen vacancy were compared for rutile and anatase. The results indicated that substitution of Ce and Zr increas...
