STAR: predicting recombination sites from amino acid sequence

BMC Bioinformatics, 2006
Background Designing novel proteins with site-directed recombination has enormous prospects. By locating effective recombination sites for swapping sequence parts, the probability that hybrid sequences have the desired properties is increased ...

Papaya proteinase IV amino acid sequence [PDF]

FEBS Letters, 1989
The amino acid sequence of papaya proteinase IV (PPIV), a major proteinase from the latex of Carica papaya [(1989) Biochem. J. 261, 469‐476] is described. The enzyme has a high degree of sequence identity with papaya proteinase III, chymopapain and papain (81, 70 and 67%, respectively), and is clearly a member of the papain superfamily of cysteine ...

Three classes of tetrahydrobiopterin-dependent enzymes

Pteridines, 2013
Current knowledge distinguishes three classes of tetrahydrobiopterin-dependent enzymes as based on protein sequence similarity. These three protein sequence clusters hydroxylate three types of substrate atoms and use three different forms of iron for ...

Word decoding of protein amino Acid sequences with availability analysis: a linguistic approach.

PLoS ONE, 2012
The amino acid sequences of proteins determine their three-dimensional structures and functions. However, how sequence information is related to structures and functions is still enigmatic.

Analysis of two duplications of the LDL receptor gene affectingintracellular transport, catabolism, and surface binding of the LDLreceptor

Journal of Lipid Research, 1998
Two novel mutations of the low density lipoprotein (LDL)-receptor genewere found in two Italian familial hypercholesterolemia (FH)-heterozygotes. Thefirst mutation was an 18 nucleotide duplication in exon 8 which is preceded byan A→T transversion.

Amino-Acid Sequence of Porcine Pepsin [PDF]

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 1973
As the culmination of several years of experiments, we propose a complete amino-acid sequence for porcine pepsin, an enzyme containing 327 amino-acid residues in a single polypeptide chain. In the sequence determination, the enzyme was treated with cyanogen bromide. Five resulting fragments were purified.

Isolation and Identification of a Novel Phlebovirus, Hedi Virus, from Sandflies Collected in China

Viruses, 2021
We report the isolation of a newly recognized phlebovirus, Hedi virus (HEDV), from Phlebotomus chinensis sandflies collected in Shanxi Province, China. The virus’ RNA is comprised of three segments.

Glutathione S-transferases from the larval gut of the silkworm Bombyx mori: cDNA cloning, gene structure, expression and distribution

European Journal of Entomology, 2008
Two glutathione S-transferase (GST) cDNAs, GSTD2 and GSTS2, were cloned from the silkworm Bombyx mori. The B. mori GSTD2 (BmGSTD2) gene spans 4371 bp and consists of four introns and five exons that encode 222 amino acid residues.

Sequence variation of the HVR1 region of Hepatitis C virus in response to interferon-α and ribavirin treatment

Journal of Infection in Developing Countries, 2011
Introduction: Hepatitis C virus (HCV), which is a major cause of liver diseases worldwide, undergoes genetic variation during the course of infection. The aim of this study was to examine sequence variations within the HVR1 region of HCV genotype 4 in ...
