Amino acid classification based spectrum kernel fusion for protein subnuclear localization

BMC Bioinformatics, 2010
Background Prediction of protein localization in subnuclear organelles is more challenging than general protein subcelluar localization. There are only three computational models for protein subnuclear localization thus far, to the best of our knowledge.

RAD50 missense variants differentially affect the DNA damage response and mitotic progression

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
RAD50 incorporates into the MRN complex and initiates the DNA damage response. Furthermore, RAD50 promotes mitotic progression. RAD50 missense variants capable of forming an MRN complex supported the DNA damage response and mitotic features to different extents in complementation experiments, indicating these functions are separable and might impact ...

Spectral Analysis of Sequence Variability in Basic-Helix-loop-helix (bHLH) Protein Domains

Evolutionary Bioinformatics, 2006
The basic helix-loop-helix (bHLH) family of transcription factors is used as a paradigm to explore structural implications of periodicity patterns in amino acid sequence variability.

Variable major proteins of Borrelia hermsii. Epitope mapping and partial sequence analysis of CNBr peptides. [PDF]

, 1985
The variable major proteins (VMP) of serotypes 7 and 21 of the relapsing fever agent Borrelia hermsii were isolated by detergent extraction and high performance liquid chromatography.

Sequencing proteins with transverse ionic transport in nanochannels [PDF]

, 2015
{\it De novo} protein sequencing is essential for understanding cellular processes that govern the function of living organisms and all post-translational events and other sequence modifications that occur after a protein has been constructed from its ...

Plasmodium falciparum gametogenesis essential protein 1 (GEP1) is a transmission‐blocking target

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
This study shows Plasmodium falciparum GEP1 is vital for activating sexual stages of malarial parasites even independently of a mosquito factor. Knockout parasites completely fail gamete formation even when a phosphodiesterase inhibitor is added. Two single‐nucleotide polymorphisms (V241L and S263P) are found in 12%–20% of field samples.

SEQUENCE SIMILARITY BETWEEN THYROID SELF-PROTEIN AND HEPATITIS C VIRUS POLYPROTEIN: possible triggering mechanism of autoimmune thyroiditis

Arquivos de Gastroenterologia
Background - Exposure to viral antigens that share amino acid sequence similar with self- antigens might trigger autoimmune diseases in genetically predisposed individuals, and the molecular mimicry theory suggests that epitope mimicry between the virus ...

Incorporating background frequency improves entropy-based residue conservation measures

BMC Bioinformatics, 2006
Background Several entropy-based methods have been developed for scoring sequence conservation in protein multiple sequence alignments. High scoring amino acid positions may correlate with structurally or functionally important residues.

Exploring the Levinthal limit in protein folding [PDF]

, 2017
According to the thermodynamic hypothesis, the native state of proteins is uniquely defined by their amino acid sequence. On the other hand, according to Levinthal, the native state is just a local minimum of the free energy and a given amino acid ...
