Exploration of Evolutionary Relations between Protein Structures
We describe a new method for the exploration of evolutionary relations between protein structures. The approach is based on the ESSM algorithm for detecting structural mutations, the output of which is then used for construction of fold space graphs. Fold space graphs can be regarded as a convenient tool for visualization and analysis of evolutionary relationships between protein structures, pr...
متن کاملConformational analysis of alternative protein structures
MOTIVATION Alternative structural models determined experimentally are available for an increasing number of proteins. Structural and functional studies of these proteins need to take these models into consideration as they can present considerable structural differences. The characterization of the structural differences and similarities between these models is a fundamental task in structural...
متن کاملA competitive regulatory mechanism discriminates between juxtaposed splice sites and pri-miRNA structures
We have explored the functional relationships between spliceosome and Microprocessor complex activities in a novel class of microRNAs (miRNAs), named Splice site Overlapping (SO) miRNAs, whose pri-miRNA hairpins overlap splice sites. We focused on the evolutionarily conserved SO miR-34b, and we identified two indispensable elements for recognition of its 3' splice site: a branch point located i...
متن کاملAutophagy discriminates between Alix and ESCRTs.
Alix and ESCRT proteins are required for membrane fission during viral budding and egress and during the abscission stage of cytokinesis. These common roles have suggested that Alix functions as an ESCRT protein, a conclusion challenged by the finding that unlike ESCRTs, which control the formation of multivesicular endosomes, Alix does not influence the degradation of the EGF receptor. We prev...
متن کاملThe Evolutionary Relationship between Alternative Splicing and Gene Duplication
The protein diversity that exists today has resulted from various evolutionary processes. It is well known that gene duplication (GD) along with the accumulation of mutations are responsible, among other factors, for an increase in the number of different proteins. The gene structure in eukaryotes requires the removal of non-coding sequences, introns, to produce mature mRNAs. This process, know...
