Genome Annotation and Assembly

Genome Annotation and Assembly

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.

Conservation of Protein Domains Over Different Proteins

Conservation of Protein Domains Over Different Proteins

Protein domains are small structurally independent units that are part of a single amino acid chain. Although these domains are often structurally independent, they may rely on synergistic effects to perform their functions as part of a larger protein. Protein domains may be conserved within the same organism, as well as across different organisms.
A limited set of protein domains often duplicate and recombine during evolution. These domains can be organized in different combinations to form...

Peptide Identification Using Tandem Mass Spectrometry

Peptide Identification Using Tandem Mass Spectrometry

Tandem mass spectrometry, also known as MS/MS or MS2, is an analytical technique that employs two mass analyzers. Essentially it is a series of mass spectrometers that helps isolate a particular biomolecule and then helps study its chemical properties.
This technique helps gather information regarding the protein from which the peptide was obtained and to study the peptides’ amino acid sequence. Identifying peptides from a complex mixture is an important component of the growing field of...

Tagging and Fusion Proteins

Tagging and Fusion Proteins

Proteins are involved in several cellular processes and biochemical reactions. Analyzing a specific protein of interest requires it to be isolated from the other proteins in the cell. This is achieved by overexpressing the specific gene in a suitable host to produce large quantities of the target protein. A tag or label is recombined with the gene to produce a fusion protein containing the target protein and the tag. The tags on these fusion proteins can then be used for easy detection and...

Protein Folding Quality Check in the RER

Protein Folding Quality Check in the RER

ER is the primary site for the maturation and folding of soluble and transmembrane secretory proteins. The calnexin cycle is a specific chaperone system that folds and assesses the confirmation of N-glycosylated proteins before they can exit the ER lumen. The primary players of this quality check pipeline are the lectins, ER-resident chaperones, and a glucosyl transferase enzyme. In case the calnexin system in the lumen fails to salvage a misfolded protein, it is transported to the cytoplasm...

Background:

Numerous prediction methods for protein residue properties exist, primarily utilizing sequence and sequence-derived data.
Support vector machines (SVMs) are prevalent due to their accuracy and generalizability in predictive modeling.

Purpose of the Study:

To introduce a general-purpose protein residue annotation toolkit (svmPRAT) for biologists.
To enable residue-wise prediction problems using SVMs for classification or regression.

Main Methods:

svmPRAT formulates annotation as SVM-based classification or regression.
Incorporates user-provided feature matrices and captures local residue information into fixed-length vectors.
Employs fast kernel functions and a flexible window-based encoding scheme for effective model training.

Main Results:

Evaluated svmPRAT on disorder prediction, contact order estimation, DNA-binding site prediction, and local structure alphabet prediction.
svmPRAT facilitated the development of state-of-the-art methods like TOPTMH (transmembrane helix prediction) and YASSPP (secondary structure prediction).

Conclusions:

svmPRAT offers an efficient and user-friendly toolkit for diverse protein residue annotation tasks.
The toolkit empowers practitioners to address a wide range of prediction challenges in molecular biology.
