Conservation of Protein Domains Over Different Proteins02:26

Conservation of Protein Domains Over Different Proteins

14.6K
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

30.0K
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...

Mechanical Protein Functions

5.7K
Proteins perform many mechanical functions in a cell. These proteins can be classified into two general categories- proteins that generate mechanical forces and proteins that are subjected to mechanical forces. Proteins providing mechanical support to the structure of the cell, such as keratin, are subjected to mechanical force, whereas proteins involved in cell movement and transport of molecules across cell membranes, such as an ion pump, are examples of generating mechanical force.

Protein and Protein Structure02:15

Protein and Protein Structure

88.2K
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:

  • Bioinformatics
  • Structural Biology
  • Computational Biology

Background:

  • Accurate functional annotation of proteins is crucial for biological research.
  • Understanding protein function often requires analyzing individual structural domains.
  • Existing annotation methods may lack precision or comprehensive domain coverage.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and present SDADB, a novel database for functional annotation of structural domains.
  • To provide probabilistic scores for Gene Ontology (GO) term associations with SCOP domains.
  • To facilitate protein function prediction through domain-based analysis.

Main Methods:

  • Integrated framework utilizing Bayesian networks for GO term probability estimation.
  • Leveraging structural neighborhood mappings, SCOP-InterPro domain mappings, PSSMs, and sequence homolog features.
  • Large-scale structure alignment for computing domain-protein mappings.

Main Results:

  • SDADB contains probabilistic GO term annotations for over 214,000 distinct SCOP domains.
  • The database integrates structural domain information with functional annotations.
  • Probabilistic scores enhance the reliability of functional annotations.

Conclusions:

  • SDADB offers a valuable resource for researchers annotating protein functions based on structural domains.
  • The probabilistic scoring system improves the accuracy and utility of functional annotations.
  • The database provides tools for visualization, search, and data retrieval.
