Resumen

Este estudio cuantifica más de 500,000 variantes de malentendido humano, encontrando que el 60% de las variantes patógenas reducen la estabilidad de las proteínas. Este gran conjunto de datos ayuda a la interpretación de variantes clínicas y al desarrollo de métodos computacionales.

Área de la Ciencia:

La genética
Biología molecular
La bioquímica

Sus antecedentes:

Las variantes del mal sentido, que alteran las secuencias de aminoácidos de las proteínas, son responsables de un tercio de las enfermedades genéticas humanas.
Las consecuencias funcionales de millones de variantes de mal sentido existentes siguen siendo en gran medida desconocidas.
Comprender el impacto de las variantes es crucial para diagnosticar y tratar trastornos genéticos.

Objetivo del estudio:

Cuantificar experimentalmente los efectos funcionales de un gran número de variantes de malentendido humano.
Establecer un conjunto de datos completo para la interpretación de variantes y el desarrollo de herramientas computacionales.
Investigar el papel de la estabilidad de las proteínas en la patogenicidad de las variantes de mal sentido.

Principales métodos:

Se emplearon experimentos de síntesis de ADN y selección celular a gran escala.
Se cuantificó el impacto de más de 500.000 variantes en la abundancia de más de 500 dominios de proteínas humanas.
Las mediciones de la estabilidad de las proteínas se integraron con modelos de lenguaje de proteínas y modelos de energía.

Principales resultados:

Se encontró que el 60% de las variantes patógenas de mal sentido reducen la estabilidad de las proteínas.
La contribución de la estabilidad a la aptitud de las proteínas varía según las proteínas y las enfermedades, especialmente en los trastornos recesivos.
Los efectos mutacionales sobre la estabilidad se conservan en dominios homólogos, lo que permite una predicción precisa de la estabilidad en todas las familias de proteínas.

Conclusiones:

Es factible evaluar las variantes de proteínas humanas a escala.
El conjunto de datos generado sirve como una referencia valiosa para la interpretación de la variante clínica.
Los resultados apoyan el desarrollo y la evaluación comparativa de métodos computacionales para predecir los efectos de las variantes.

Conservation of Protein Domains Over Different Proteins

Conservation of Protein Domains Over Different Proteins

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...

Conserved Binding Sites

Conserved Binding Sites

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...

Ligand Binding and Linkage

Ligand Binding and Linkage

Allosteric proteins have more than one ligand binding site; the binding of a ligand to any of these sites influences the binding of ligands to the other sites. When a protein is allosteric, its binding sites are called coupled or linked. In the case of enzymes, the site that binds to the substrate is known as the active site and the other site is known as the regulatory site. When a ligand binds to the regulatory site, this leads to conformational changes in the protein that can influence...

Covalently Linked Protein Regulators

Covalently Linked Protein Regulators

Proteins can undergo many types of post-translational modifications, often in response to changes in their environment. These modifications play an important role in the function and stability of these proteins. Covalently linked molecules include functional groups, such as methyl, acetyl, and phosphate groups, and also small proteins, such as ubiquitin. There are around 200 different types of covalent regulators that have been identified.
These groups modify specific amino acids in a protein....

Allosteric Proteins-ATCase

Allosteric Proteins-ATCase

Binding sites linkages can regulate a protein's function. For example, enzyme activity is often regulated through a feedback mechanism where the end product of the biochemical process serves as an inhibitor.
Aspartate transcarbamoylase (ATCase) is a cytosolic enzyme that catalyzes the condensation of L-aspartate and carbamoyl phosphate to N-carbamoyl-L-aspartate. This reaction is the first step in pyrimidine biosynthesis. UTP and CTP, the end products of the pyrimidine synthesis...
