From DNA to Protein

22.4K
The flow of genetic information in cells from DNA to mRNA to protein is described by the central dogma, which states that genes specify the sequence of mRNAs, which in turn specify the sequence of amino acids making up all proteins. The decoding of one molecule to another is performed by specific proteins and RNAs. Because the information stored in DNA is so central to cellular function, it makes intuitive sense that the cell would make mRNA copies of this information for protein synthesis...

Cis-regulatory Sequences02:02

Cis-regulatory Sequences

11.8K
Cis-regulatory sequences are short fragments of non-coding DNA that are present on the same chromosomes as the genes that they regulate. These fragments serve as binding sites for transcriptional regulators, proteins that are responsible for controlling gene transcription and differential gene expression across cell types in eukaryotes. Cis-regulatory sequences can be close to the gene of interest or thousands of bases away in the DNA sequence; however, those sequences that are further away are...

Per-Unit Sequence Models

451
An ideal Y-Y transformer, grounded through neutral impedances, displays per-unit sequence networks akin to those of a single-phase ideal transformer when subjected to balanced positive- or negative-sequence currents. These currents do not produce neutral currents, and their associated voltage drops.
Zero-sequence currents, which are identical in magnitude and phase, generate a neutral current, resulting in voltage drops across the neutral impedance and the low-voltage winding. If the...

DNA as a Genetic Template

27.9K
Two structural features of the DNA molecule provide a basis for the mechanisms of heredity: the four nucleotide bases and its double-stranded nature. The Watson-Crick model of double-helical DNA structure, proposed in 1952, drew heavily upon the X-ray crystallography work of researchers Rosalind Franklin and Maurice Wilkins. Watson, Crick, and Wilkins jointly received the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for their work in 1962. Franklin was, controversially, excluded from the prize for...

Protein Networks02:26

Protein Networks

4.6K
An organism can have thousands of different proteins, and these proteins must cooperate to ensure the health of an organism. Proteins bind to other proteins and form complexes to carry out their functions. Many proteins interact with multiple other proteins creating a complex network of protein interactions.
These interactions can be represented through maps depicting protein-protein interaction networks, represented as nodes and edges. Nodes are circles that are representative of a protein,...

Area of Science:

  • Bioinformatics
  • Computational Biology
  • Genomics

Background:

  • Existing DNA motif discovery methods primarily focus on DNA sequences, leaving a gap in understanding motifs from protein sequences.
  • Mechanistic knowledge for inferring DNA motifs across diverse DNA-binding domain families from protein data is limited.
  • Wet-lab experiments are resource-intensive and time-consuming for comprehensive motif discovery.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To propose and validate a novel computational approach, k-spectrum recognition modeling, for inferring DNA motifs directly from protein sequences.
  • To capture DNA motif patterns at high resolution, considering local sequence context and nucleotide dependencies.
  • To provide a method for genome-wide prioritization of single nucleotide variant binding effects on transcription factor binding sites.

Main Methods:

  • Development of the k-spectrum recognition model to analyze protein sequences.
  • Application of the model to capture local sequence context and nucleotide dependency for motif pattern recognition.
  • Evaluation using multiple metrics on millions of k-mer binding intensities from 92 proteins across five DNA-binding families (bHLH, bZIP, ETS, Forkhead, Homeodomain).

Main Results:

  • The k-spectrum model demonstrates competitive performance in DNA motif recognition from protein sequences.
  • The model successfully captures intricate DNA motif patterns by considering sequence context and nucleotide dependencies.
  • Validation across five major DNA-binding protein families confirms the model's broad applicability and effectiveness.

Conclusions:

  • K-spectrum modeling offers a powerful, lab-free method for DNA motif discovery from protein sequences.
  • This approach enhances mechanistic understanding of DNA-protein interactions across various binding domains.
  • The model has significant implications for predicting the functional impact of genetic variations on gene regulation.
