Signal Sequences and Sorting Receptors01:41

Signal Sequences and Sorting Receptors

9.9K
Signal sequences are short amino acid sequences that guide newly synthesized proteins to their proper location within the cell. Classical signal sequences are fifteen to sixty amino acids long and present at the N-terminus of a polypeptide chain. Each signal sequence has a conserved segment of basic residues towards their N terminus, a hydrophobic core, and a C-terminus rich in polar residues. The C-terminus also contains a signal cleavage site and features a -3 -1 sequence motif. The -3-1...

Peptide Identification Using Tandem Mass Spectrometry01:33

Peptide Identification Using Tandem Mass Spectrometry

6.2K
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...

Conservation of Protein Domains Over Different Proteins02:26

Conservation of Protein Domains Over Different Proteins

11.7K
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...

Peptide Bonds02:43

Peptide Bonds

53.8K
A peptide bond covalently attaches amino acids through a dehydration reaction. One amino acid's carboxyl group and another amino acid's amino group combine, releasing a water molecule. The resulting bond is the peptide bond. The products that such linkages form are peptides. As more amino acids join this growing chain, the resulting chain is a polypeptide. Each polypeptide has a free amino group at one end. This end has the N-terminal, or the amino-terminal, and the other end has a free...

Conserved Binding Sites01:49

Conserved Binding Sites

4.1K
Many proteins’ biological role depends on their interactions with their ligands, small molecules that bind to specific locations on the protein known as ligand-binding sites. Ligand-binding sites are often conserved among homologous proteins as these sites are critical for protein function.
Binding sites are often located in large pockets, and if their location on a protein’s surface is unknown, it can be predicted using various approaches. The energetic method computationally...

Translocation of Proteins into the Mitochondria01:19

Translocation of Proteins into the Mitochondria

8.8K
Mitochondrial precursors are translocated to the internal subcompartments via independent mechanisms involving distinct protein machineries called translocases.
Sorting of outer membrane proteins:
Mitochondrial outer membrane proteins are of two types: the transmembrane, beta-barrel porins, and the membrane-anchored, alpha-helical proteins. Beta-barrel porin precursors are translocated by the TOM complex and inserted into the outer mitochondrial membrane by the SAM complex. In contrast,...

Area of Science:

  • Structural Biology
  • Bioinformatics
  • Computational Biology

Background:

  • Cis-peptide embedded segments are infrequently found in proteins but are crucial for molecular function.
  • Their significant evolutionary conservation underscores their importance, yet this information is not systematically used for function annotation.
  • Existing function annotation methods often rely on homology, limiting their application in novel or divergent protein families.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and validate a statistically significant method for identifying cis-peptide segments and linking them to molecular function.
  • To introduce a novel fragment-based approach for protein function annotation.
  • To demonstrate the applicability of the method in cases where homology-based annotation transfer is not feasible.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized geometric clustering of protein structures.
  • Employed level-specific Gene Ontology (GO) molecular function terms for annotation.
  • Developed a fragment-based annotation strategy using identified cis-peptide segments.
  • Evaluated annotation recall using receiver-operator characteristic (ROC) plots.

Main Results:

  • Successfully identified novel cis-peptide fragments and linked them to specific molecular functions.
  • Achieved a high annotation recall benchmark with an area-under-the-curve (AUC) > 0.9, confirming method utility.
  • Discovered cis-peptide fragments in conjunction with functionally significant trans-peptide fragments, offering deeper molecular insights.
  • Demonstrated successful function annotation for proteins lacking homology.

Conclusions:

  • The developed method provides a statistically robust approach for identifying cis-peptide segments and annotating protein function.
  • This fragment-based annotation strategy enhances the repertoire of available tools, especially for proteins with limited homology.
  • The findings facilitate protein engineering, design, and studies focusing on the cis-peptide neighborhood.
