Structural Position Correlation Analysis (SPCA) for Protein Family
BACKGROUND The proteins in a family, which perform the similar biological functions, may have very different amino acid composition, but they must share the similar 3D structures, and keep a stable central region. In the conservative structure region similar biological functions are performed by two or three catalytic residues with the collaboration of several functional residues at key positio...
متن کاملCorrelation Analysis for Protein Evolutionary Family Based on Amino Acid Position Mutations and Application in PDZ Domain
BACKGROUND It has been widely recognized that the mutations at specific directions are caused by the functional constraints in protein family and the directional mutations at certain positions control the evolutionary direction of the protein family. The mutations at different positions, even distantly separated, are mutually coupled and form an evolutionary network. Finding the controlling mut...
متن کاملProtein family clustering for structural genomics.
A major goal of structural genomics is the provision of a structural template for a large fraction of protein domains. The magnitude of this task depends on the number and nature of protein sequence families. With a large number of bacterial genomes now fully sequenced, it is possible to obtain improved estimates of the number and diversity of families in that kingdom. We have used an automated...
متن کاملFamily-wide Structural Analysis of Human Numb-Associated Protein Kinases.
The highly diverse Numb-associated kinase (NAK) family has been linked to broad cellular functions including receptor-mediated endocytosis, Notch pathway modulation, osteoblast differentiation, and dendrite morphogenesis. Consequently, NAK kinases play a key role in a diverse range of diseases from Parkinson's and prostate cancer to HIV. Due to the plasticity of this kinase family, NAK kinases ...
متن کاملCorrelation Visualization for Structural Uncertainty Analysis
In uncertain scalar fields, where the values at every point can be assumed as realizations of a random variable, standard deviations indicate the strength of possible variations of these values from their mean values, independently of the values at any other point in the domain. To infer the possible variations at different points relative to each other, and thus to predict the possible structu...
