Protein Dynamics in Living Cells

1.9K
Different fluorescence-based techniques are used to study the protein dynamics in living cells. These techniques include FRAP, FRET, and PET.
Fluorescent recovery after photobleaching (FRAP) is a fluorescent-protein-based detection technique used to quantify protein movement rates within the cell. This method exposes a small portion of the cell to an intense laser beam. The laser beam causes permanent photobleaching of the fluorophore-tagged proteins in the exposed region. As the bleached...

Conservation of Protein Domains Over Different Proteins

11.8K
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...

Structural Protein Function

28.9K
Structural proteins are a category of proteins responsible for functions ranging from cell shape and movement to providing support to major structures such as bones, cartilage, hair, and muscles. This group includes proteins such as collagen, actin, myosin, and keratin.
Collagen, the most abundant protein in mammals, is found throughout the body. In connective tissue, such as skin, ligaments, and tendons, it provides tensile strength and elasticity.  In bones and teeth, it mineralizes to...

Protein and Protein Structure

71.4K
Proteins are one of the most abundant organic molecules in living systems and have the most diverse range of functions of all macromolecules. Proteins may be structural, regulatory, contractile, or protective. They may serve in transport, storage, or membranes; or they may be toxins or enzymes. Their structures, like their functions, vary greatly. They are all, however, amino acid polymers arranged in a linear sequence.
A protein's shape is critical to its function. For example, an enzyme...

Area of Science:

  • Computational biology
  • Molecular evolution
  • Structural bioinformatics

Background:

  • Understanding the relationship between protein sequence evolution and structural dynamics is crucial for deciphering molecular mechanisms and evolutionary pathways.
  • Existing computational tools may not efficiently integrate these two aspects for comprehensive analysis.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To introduce Evol, a novel computational package integrated into ProDy.
  • To enable the coanalysis of evolutionary patterns and conformational dynamics of proteins.

Main Methods:

  • Integration of the Evol package into the ProDy computational toolbox.
  • Utilizing information-theoretic approaches to analyze conservation and coevolution profiles.
  • Correlating evolutionary data from multiple sequence alignments with inferred protein dynamics.

Main Results:

  • Evol facilitates fast and efficient comparative analysis of evolutionary patterns and conformational dynamics.
  • The integrated approach allows for a deeper understanding of how sequence changes relate to protein structure and function.
  • Successful coanalysis of conservation, coevolution, and dynamics.

Conclusions:

  • The integration of Evol into ProDy provides a powerful new tool for molecular evolution and structural dynamics research.
  • This approach enhances the study of molecular mechanisms and evolutionary processes in protein families.
  • Evol and ProDy are freely available open-source resources for the scientific community.
