Conservation of Protein Domains Over Different Proteins02:26

Conservation of Protein Domains Over Different Proteins

14.9K
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...

Multi-species Conserved Sequences

4.9K
Next-generation sequencing technologies have created large genomic databases of a variety of animals and plants. Ever since the human genome project was completed, scientists studied the genome of primates, mammals, and other phylogenetically distant living beings. Such large-scale  studies have provided new insights into the evolutionary relationship between organisms.
Although the genome of each species varies greatly from each other, a few sequences are highly conserved. Such conserved...

The Proteasome

Eukaryotic cells can degrade proteins through several pathways. One of the most important amongst these is the ubiquitin-proteasome pathway. It helps the cell eliminate the misfolded, damaged, or unwarranted cytoplasmic proteins in a highly specific manner.
In this pathway, the target proteins are first tagged with small proteins called ubiquitin. A series of enzymes carry out the ubiquitination of the target proteins - E1 (ubiquitin-activating enzyme), E2 (ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme), and E3...

Protein-protein Interfaces02:04

Protein-protein Interfaces

14.9K
Many proteins form complexes to carry out their functions, making protein-protein interactions (PPIs) essential for an organism's survival. Most PPIs are stabilized by numerous weak noncovalent chemical forces. The physical shape of the interfaces determines the way two proteins interact. Many globular proteins have closely-matching shapes on their surfaces, which form a large number of weak bonds. Additionally, many PPIs occur between two helices or between a surface cleft and a...

Area of Science:

  • Bioinformatics
  • Genomics
  • Computational Biology

Background:

  • High-throughput sequencing has led to a surge in genome data, causing significant redundancy in biological databases like UniProt Knowledgebase (UniProtKB).
  • This redundancy in bacterial proteomes slows down database searches, introduces statistical bias, complicates analysis, and increases computational costs.
  • Minimizing data redundancy is crucial for effective data interpretation and discovery in large-scale biological datasets.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and implement a methodology for identifying and removing highly redundant proteomes from the UniProtKB.
  • To enhance the scalability and scientific value of UniProtKB by addressing data redundancy challenges.

Main Methods:

  • A novel methodology was developed involving pairwise sequence alignments of proteomes.
  • Graph theory was applied to identify dominating sets, enabling the selection of non-redundant proteomes with minimal information loss.
  • The procedure was implemented for bacterial proteomes in UniProtKB.

Main Results:

  • The implemented method successfully identified and removed highly redundant bacterial proteomes from UniProtKB.
  • Approximately 50 million proteins were removed from UniProtKB following the implementation in mid-2015.
  • The procedure is now applied to filter new proteomes in each release, ensuring continued scalability and value.

Conclusions:

  • The developed methodology effectively reduces redundancy in large-scale proteomic databases.
  • This approach ensures the continued growth and utility of UniProtKB for biological research and data interpretation.
  • Regular application of this filtering process maintains a high-quality, scientifically valuable, and scalable protein database.
