Protein Complex Assembly02:41

Protein Complex Assembly

16.7K
Proteins can form homomeric complexes with another unit of the same protein or heteromeric complexes with different types.  Most protein complexes self-assemble spontaneously via ordered pathways, while some proteins need assembly factors that guide their proper assembly. Despite the crowded intracellular environment, proteins usually interact with their correct partners and form functional complexes.
Many viruses self-assemble into a fully functional unit using the infected host cell to...

Spindle Assembly02:50

Spindle Assembly

4.3K
Spindle assembly occurs through three, often coexisting, pathways – the centrosome-mediated pathway, the chromatin-mediated pathway, and the microtubule-mediated pathway – collectively contributing to form a robust spindle apparatus.
In most cells, centrosomes are the primary microtubule nucleation centers. In the centrosome-mediated pathway, the G2-prophase transition triggers centrosome maturation and increased microtubule nucleation. Progressive nucleation results in a...

Oligosaccharide Assembly01:24

Oligosaccharide Assembly

3.6K
Protein glycosylation starts in the ER lumen and continues in the Golgi apparatus. Glycosyltransferases catalyze the addition of sugar molecules or glycosylation of proteins. Usually, these enzymes add sugars to the hydroxyl groups of selected serine or threonine residues to form O-linked glycans or the amino groups of asparagine residues to form N-linked glycans. Different positions on the same polypeptide chain can contain differently linked glycans.
Multiple sugar molecules that may or may...

Assembly of Cytoskeletal Filaments

27.9K
Cytoskeletal filaments are polymeric forms of smaller protein subunits. However, individual cytoskeletal filaments may easily disassemble or associate with other similar filaments to form rigid structures. Microfilaments, made of actin monomers, rely on actin-binding proteins to form bundles and create networks of individual actin filaments. Microtubules rely on microtubule-associated proteins (MAPs) to form sturdy cylindrical structures. However, the proteins involved in forming complex...

Genome Annotation and Assembly03:36

Genome Annotation and Assembly

20.8K
The genome refers to all of the genetic material in an organism. It can range from a few million base pairs in microbial cells to several billion base pairs in many eukaryotic organisms. Genome assembly refers to the process of taking the DNA sequencing data and putting it all back together in a correct order to create a close representation of the original genome. This is followed by the identification of functional elements on the newly assembled genome, a process called genome annotation.

Area of Science:

  • Genomics
  • Bioinformatics

Background:

  • Multiple genome sequencing centers often produce independent draft assemblies using different software.
  • Typically, only the best-judged assembly is used, discarding valuable data from others.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a method for merging multiple draft genome assemblies.
  • To enhance the quality and completeness of genome assemblies by integrating information from alternative drafts.

Main Methods:

  • Developed an 'assembly reconciliation' technique to merge draft genome assemblies.
  • The method identifies errors in a primary assembly and corrects them using data from alternative assemblies.
  • It also utilizes alternative assemblies to span gaps present in the primary assembly.

Main Results:

  • Successfully produced reconciled genome assemblies for six Drosophila species, which are now the official CAF1 assemblies.
  • Generated a reconciled assembly for the Rhesus Macaque genome.
  • The reconciliation software is publicly available for download.

Conclusions:

  • Assembly reconciliation is an effective technique for improving draft genome assemblies.
  • This method maximizes the utility of data from collaborative genome sequencing projects.
  • The developed software facilitates the creation of higher-quality, more complete genome assemblies.
