Cancer3D: understanding cancer mutations through protein structures
The new era of cancer genomics is providing us with extensive knowledge of mutations and other alterations in cancer. The Cancer3D database at http://www.cancer3d.org gives an open and user-friendly way to analyze cancer missense mutations in the context of structures of proteins in which they are found. The database also helps users analyze the distribution patterns of the mutations as well as...
متن کاملRhbdf2 mutations increase its protein stability and drive EGFR hyperactivation through enhanced secretion of amphiregulin.
The rhomboid 5 homolog 2 (Rhbdf2) gene encodes an inactive rhomboid (iRhom) protease, iRhom2, one of a family of enzymes containing a long cytosolic N terminus and a dormant peptidase domain of unknown function. iRhom2 has been implicated in epithelial regeneration and cancer growth through constitutive activation of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) signaling. However, little is known ab...
متن کاملCUPSAT: Predicting Protein Stability Upon Point Mutations
CUPSAT is a web tool to analyse and predict protein stability changes upon point mutations (single amino acid mutations) in proteins. These mutations are carried out experimentally using site-directed mutagenesis and similar techniques. Random mutations at a specified position aid in designing thermostable or thermosensitive proteins so that the functionality of a protein can be altered to suit...
متن کاملPrediction of protein stability upon point mutations.
Prediction of protein stability upon amino acid substitution is a challenging problem and it will be helpful for designing stable mutants. We have developed a thermodynamic database for proteins and mutants (ProTherm), which has more than 20000 thermodynamic data along with sequence and structure information, experimental conditions and literature information. It is freely accessible at http://...
متن کاملUnderstanding Protein Flexibility through Dimensionality Reduction
This work shows how to decrease the complexity of modeling flexibility in proteins by reducing the number of dimensions necessary to model important macromolecular motions such as the induced-fit process. Induced fit occurs during the binding of a protein to other proteins, nucleic acids, or small molecules (ligands) and is a critical part of protein function. It is now widely accepted that con...
