Conformational diversity analysis reveals three functional mechanisms in proteins
Protein motions are a key feature to understand biological function. Recently, a large-scale analysis of protein conformational diversity showed a positively skewed distribution with a peak at 0.5 Å C-alpha root-mean-square-deviation (RMSD). To understand this distribution in terms of structure-function relationships, we studied a well curated and large dataset of ~5,000 proteins with experimen...
متن کاملFunctional Annotation of Two Hypothetical Proteins Reveals Valuable Proteins Involved in Response to Salinity: An in silico Approach
Through the exponential development in the specification of sequences and structures of proteins by genome sequencing and structural genomics approaches, there is a growing demand for valid bioinformatics methods to define these proteins function. In this study, our objective is to identify the function of unknown proteins from UCB-1 pistachio rootstock and specify their class...
متن کاملFunctional diversity of three different DsbA proteins from Neisseria meningitidis.
The genome of Neisseria meningitidis serogroup B strain MC58 contains three genes - nmb0278, nmb0294 and nmb0407 - encoding putative homologues of DsbA, a periplasmic thiol disulphide oxidoreductase protein-folding catalyst of the Dsb protein family. DsbA assists the folding of periplasmic and membrane proteins in diverse organisms. While all three cloned genes complemented the DTT sensitivity ...
متن کاملConformational diversity of ligands bound to proteins.
The phenomenon of molecular recognition, which underpins almost all biological processes, is dynamic, complex and subtle. Establishing an interaction between a pair of molecules involves mutual structural rearrangements guided by a highly convoluted energy landscape, the accurate mapping of which continues to elude us. Increased understanding of the degree to which the conformational space of a...
متن کاملBelief Propagation Reveals Allosteric Mechanisms in Proteins
The physical mechanisms involved in allosteric regulation remain unclear. We present a novel and efficient method for investigating the propagation of regulatory signals in protein structures. Our approach utilizes undirected graphical models to efficiently encode the Boltzmann distribution over geometric configurations. Belief Propagation is then invoked to efficiently compute: (a) free energi...
