Diversity of Antigen Receptors01:28

Diversity of Antigen Receptors

1.3K
Antigen receptors are essential components of the immune system crucial in defending the body against foreign invaders. These receptors are present on the surface of B and T cells, enabling them to recognize antigens and mount an appropriate immune response.
Before encountering any antigen, lymphocytes express these receptors. On B cells, the antigen receptor is a membrane-bound antibody molecule called BCR; on T cells, it is a T cell receptor or TCR. B and T cell receptors are composed of two...

The Two-State Receptor Model01:29

The Two-State Receptor Model

2.9K
The two-state receptor model explains a drug's interaction with receptors, such as G protein-coupled receptors and ligand-gated ion channels, to induce or inhibit a biological response. When no natural ligands are present, a receptor exists in an equilibrium of inactive (Ri) and active (Ra) conformations. The inactive form does not produce a response, while the active form generates a basal effect known as constitutive activity.
The binding affinity of a drug determines its interaction with...

G Protein-coupled Receptors01:15

G Protein-coupled Receptors

16.1K
G Protein-Coupled Receptors or GPCRs are membrane-bound receptors that transiently associate with heterotrimeric G proteins and induce an appropriate response to sensory stimuli such as light, odors, hormones, cytokines, or neurotransmitters.
GPCRs are also called heptahelical, 7TM, or serpentine receptors, and consist of seven (H1-H7) transmembrane alpha-helices that span the bilayer to form a cylindrical core. The transmembrane helices are connected by three extracellular loops and three...

Conserved Binding Sites01:49

Conserved Binding Sites

5.0K
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...

Evolutionary Relationships through Genome Comparisons02:54

Evolutionary Relationships through Genome Comparisons

6.8K
Genome comparison is one of the excellent ways to interpret the evolutionary relationships between organisms. The basic principle of genome comparison is that if two species share a common feature, it is likely encoded by the DNA sequence conserved between both species. The advent of genome sequencing technologies in the late 20th century enabled scientists to understand the concept of conservation of domains between species and helped them to deduce evolutionary relationships across diverse...

Area of Science:

  • Immunology
  • Bioinformatics
  • Computational Biology

Background:

  • Pattern recognition receptors (PRRs) are key components of the innate immune system.
  • Accurate identification of PRRs is essential for understanding immune responses and developing therapeutics.

  • To develop and validate a robust computational method for predicting pattern recognition receptors (PRRs).
  • To create a user-friendly web server (PRRpred) for the scientific community to facilitate PRR identification.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized the largest non-redundant datasets of PRRs (from PRRDB 2.0) and non-PRRs (from Swiss-Prot).
  • Compared similarity-based (BLAST) and machine learning (sequence composition, PSSM composition) approaches.
  • Developed hybrid models integrating BLAST similarity searches with machine learning predictions.

Main Results:

  • A similarity-based approach using BLAST showed limited success.
  • Machine learning models based on sequence composition achieved a maximum MCC of 0.63.
  • Models incorporating evolutionary information (PSSM composition) reached a maximum MCC of 0.66.
