The dcGO Domain-Centric Ontology Database in 2023: New Website and Extended Annotations for Protein Structural Domains.

Project description:Protein structural domains have been less studied than full-length proteins in terms of ontology annotations. The dcGO database has filled this gap by providing mappings from protein domains to ontologies. The dcGO update in 2023 extends annotations for protein domains of multiple definitions (SCOP, Pfam, and InterPro) with commonly used ontologies that are categorised into functions, phenotypes, diseases, drugs, pathways, regulators, and hallmarks. This update adds new dimensions to the utility of both ontology and protein domain resources. A newly designed website at http://www.protdomainonto.pro/dcGO offers a more centralised and user-friendly way to access the dcGO database, with enhanced faceted search returning term- and domain-specific information pages. Users can navigate both ontology terms and annotated domains through improved ontology hierarchy browsing. A newly added facility enables domain-based ontology enrichment analysis.

A complex-centric view of protein network evolution.

Project description:The recent availability of protein-protein interaction networks for several species makes it possible to study protein complexes in an evolutionary context. In this article, we present a novel network-based framework for reconstructing the evolutionary history of protein complexes. Our analysis is based on generalizing evolutionary measures for single proteins to the level of whole subnetworks, comprehensively considering a broad set of computationally derived complexes and accounting for both sequence and interaction changes. Specifically, we compute sets of orthologous complexes across species, and use these to derive evolutionary rate and age measures for protein complexes. We observe significant correlations between the evolutionary properties of a complex and those of its member proteins, suggesting that protein complexes form early in evolution and evolve as coherent units. Additionally, our approach enables us to directly quantify the extent to which gene duplication has played a role in the evolution of complexes. We find that about one quarter of the sets of orthologous complexes have originated from evolutionary cores of homodimers that underwent duplication and divergence, testifying to the important role of gene duplication in protein complex evolution.

DCMP: database of cancer mutant protein domains.

Project description:Protein domains are functional and structural units of proteins. They are responsible for a particular function that contributes to protein's overall role. Because of this essential role, the majority of the genetic variants occur in the domains. In this study, the somatic mutations across 21 cancer types were mapped to the individual protein domains. To map the mutations to the domains, we employed the whole human proteome to predict the domains in each protein sequence and recognized about 149 668 domains. A novel Perl-API program was developed to convert the protein domain positions into genomic positions, and users can freely access them through GitHub. We determined the distribution of protein domains across 23 chromosomes with the help of these genomic positions. Interestingly, chromosome 19 has more number of protein domains in comparison with other chromosomes. Then, we mapped the cancer mutations to all the protein domains. Around 46-65% of mutations were mapped to their corresponding protein domains, and significantly mutated domains for all the cancer types were determined using the local false discovery ratio (locfdr). The chromosome positions for all the protein domains can be verified using the cross-reference ensemble database. Database URL: https://dcmp.vit.ac.in/.

Divergent evolution within protein superfolds inferred from profile-based phylogenetics.

Project description:Many dissimilar protein sequences fold into similar structures. A central and persistent challenge facing protein structural analysis is the discrimination between homology and convergence for structurally similar domains that lack significant sequence similarity. Classic examples are the OB-fold and SH3 domains, both small, modular beta-barrel protein superfolds. The similarities among these domains have variously been attributed to common descent or to convergent evolution. Using a sequence profile-based phylogenetic technique, we analyzed all structurally characterized OB-fold, SH3, and PDZ domains with less than 40% mutual sequence identity. An all-against-all, profile-versus-profile analysis of these domains revealed many previously undetectable significant interrelationships. The matrices of scores were used to infer phylogenies based on our derivation of the relationships between sequence similarity E-values and evolutionary distances. The resulting clades of domains correlate remarkably well with biological function, as opposed to structural similarity, indicating that the functionally distinct sub-families within these superfolds are homologous. This method extends phylogenetics into the challenging "twilight zone" of sequence similarity, providing the first objective resolution of deep evolutionary relationships among distant protein families.

SDADB: a functional annotation database of protein structural domains.

Project description:Annotating functional terms with individual domains is essential for understanding the functions of full-length proteins. We describe SDADB, a functional annotation database for structural domains. SDADB provides associations between gene ontology (GO) terms and SCOP domains calculated with an integrated framework. GO annotations are assigned probabilities of being correct, which are estimated with a Bayesian network by taking advantage of structural neighborhood mappings, SCOP-InterPro domain mapping information, position-specific scoring matrices (PSSMs) and sequence homolog features, with the most substantial contribution coming from high-coverage structure-based domain-protein mappings. The domain-protein mappings are computed using large-scale structure alignment. SDADB contains ontological terms with probabilistic scores for more than 214 000 distinct SCOP domains. It also provides additional features include 3D structure alignment visualization, GO hierarchical tree view, search, browse and download options.Database URL: http://sda.denglab.org.

SCPortalen: human and mouse single-cell centric database.

Project description:Published single-cell datasets are rich resources for investigators who want to address questions not originally asked by the creators of the datasets. The single-cell datasets might be obtained by different protocols and diverse analysis strategies. The main challenge in utilizing such single-cell data is how we can make the various large-scale datasets to be comparable and reusable in a different context. To challenge this issue, we developed the single-cell centric database 'SCPortalen' (http://single-cell.clst.riken.jp/). The current version of the database covers human and mouse single-cell transcriptomics datasets that are publicly available from the INSDC sites. The original metadata was manually curated and single-cell samples were annotated with standard ontology terms. Following that, common quality assessment procedures were conducted to check the quality of the raw sequence. Furthermore, primary data processing of the raw data followed by advanced analyses and interpretation have been performed from scratch using our pipeline. In addition to the transcriptomics data, SCPortalen provides access to single-cell image files whenever available. The target users of SCPortalen are all researchers interested in specific cell types or population heterogeneity. Through the web interface of SCPortalen users are easily able to search, explore and download the single-cell datasets of their interests.

Comprehensive analysis of orthologous protein domains using the HOPS database.

Project description:One of the most reliable methods for protein function annotation is to transfer experimentally known functions from orthologous proteins in other organisms. Most methods for identifying orthologs operate on a subset of organisms with a completely sequenced genome, and treat proteins as single-domain units. However, it is well known that proteins are often made up of several independent domains, and there is a wealth of protein sequences from genomes that are not completely sequenced. A comprehensive set of protein domain families is found in the Pfam database. We wanted to apply orthology detection to Pfam families, but first some issues needed to be addressed. First, orthology detection becomes impractical and unreliable when too many species are included. Second, shorter domains contain less information. It is therefore important to assess the quality of the orthology assignment and avoid very short domains altogether. We present a database of orthologous protein domains in Pfam called HOPS: Hierarchical grouping of Orthologous and Paralogous Sequences. Orthology is inferred in a hierarchic system of phylogenetic subgroups using ortholog bootstrapping. To avoid the frequent errors stemming from horizontally transferred genes in bacteria, the analysis is presently limited to eukaryotic genes. The results are accessible in the graphical browser NIFAS, a Java tool originally developed for analyzing phylogenetic relations within Pfam families. The method was tested on a set of curated orthologs with experimentally verified function. In comparison to tree reconciliation with a complete species tree, our approach finds significantly more orthologs in the test set. Examples for investigating gene fusions and domain recombination using HOPS are given.

The InterPro protein families and domains database: 20 years on.

Project description:The InterPro database (https://www.ebi.ac.uk/interpro/) provides an integrative classification of protein sequences into families, and identifies functionally important domains and conserved sites. InterProScan is the underlying software that allows protein and nucleic acid sequences to be searched against InterPro's signatures. Signatures are predictive models which describe protein families, domains or sites, and are provided by multiple databases. InterPro combines signatures representing equivalent families, domains or sites, and provides additional information such as descriptions, literature references and Gene Ontology (GO) terms, to produce a comprehensive resource for protein classification. Founded in 1999, InterPro has become one of the most widely used resources for protein family annotation. Here, we report the status of InterPro (version 81.0) in its 20th year of operation, and its associated software, including updates to database content, the release of a new website and REST API, and performance improvements in InterProScan.

Epitome: database of structure-inferred antigenic epitopes.

Project description:Immunoglobulin molecules specifically recognize particular areas on the surface of proteins. These areas are commonly dubbed B-cell epitopes. The identification of epitopes in proteins is important both for the design of experiments and vaccines. Additionally, the interactions between epitopes and antibodies have often served as a model for protein-protein interactions. One of the main obstacles in creating a database of antigen-antibody interactions is the difficulty in distinguishing between antigenic and non-antigenic interactions. Antigenic interactions involve specific recognition sites on the antibody's surface, while non-antigenic interactions are between a protein and any other site on the antibody. To solve this problem, we performed a comparative analysis of all protein-antibody complexes for which structures have been experimentally determined. Additionally, we developed a semi-automated tool that identified the antigenic interactions within the known antigen-antibody complex structures. We compiled those interactions into Epitome, a database of structure-inferred antigenic residues in proteins. Epitome consists of all known antigen/antibody complex structures, a detailed description of the residues that are involved in the interactions, and their sequence/structure environments. Interactions can be visualized using an interface to Jmol. The database is available at http://www.rostlab.org/services/epitome/.
