Wiggle—Predicting Functionally Flexible Regions from Primary Sequence
The Wiggle series are support vector machine-based predictors that identify regions of functional flexibility using only protein sequence information. Functionally flexible regions are defined as regions that can adopt different conformational states and are assumed to be necessary for bioactivity. Many advances have been made in understanding the relationship between protein sequence and struc...
متن کاملUsing multiple sequence correlation analysis to characterize functionally important protein regions.
Protein co-evolution under structural and functional constraints necessitates the preservation of important interactions. Identifying functionally important regions poses many obstacles in protein engineering efforts. In this paper, we present a bioinformatics-inspired approach (residue correlation analysis, RCA) for predicting functionally important domains from protein family sequence data. R...
متن کاملDeletion of internal sequence on the HDV-ribozyme: elucidation of functionally important single-stranded loop regions.
In elucidating functionally important single-stranded loop regions derived mainly from three models in genomic hepatitis delta virus (HDV) ribozyme possessing self-cleavage activity, we have constructed several internal deletion variants of the HDV133 molecule (654-786 nt on genomic RNA) by oligonucleotide-directed mutagenesis. When self-cleavage activities were compared among variants, the HDV...
متن کاملMelting temperature highlights functionally important RNA structure and sequence elements in yeast mRNA coding regions
Secondary structure elements in the coding regions of mRNAs play an important role in gene expression and regulation, but distinguishing functional from non-functional structures remains challenging. Here we investigate the dependence of sequence-structure relationships in the coding regions on temperature based on the recent PARTE data by Wan et al. Our main finding is that the regions with hi...
متن کاملIdentifying functionally important mutations from phenotypically diverse sequence data.
Here we present a simple statistical method to determine the phenotypic contribution of a single mutation from libraries of mutants with diverse phenotypes in which each mutant contains a multitude of mutations. The central premise of this method is that, given M phenotypic classes, mutations that do not affect the phenotype should partition among the M classes according to a multinomial distri...
