  • The position-specific gap coefficients penalize gaps in conserved regions more heavily than gaps in more variable regions. (ucdavis.edu)
  • N eff is the effective sum of weights of alignments where both positions are not gaps. (cchmc.org)
  • w sl is a weighted count of state s, which is equal to 1 for non-weighted scores, 1-(percent of sequence identity) or 1-(percent of gaps) of the alignment l for weighting by sequence dissimilarity or alignment gapping, respectively, and w a ph for weighting by phylogeny. (cchmc.org)
  • The positions of gaps that are generated in early alignments remain through later stages. (uni-bielefeld.de)
  • This site contains all nucleotide and protein sequence records in the Reference Sequence (RefSeq) collection. (nih.gov)
  • Based on these results, new functional hypotheses concerning the assembly and function of T6SS proteins are proposed. (biomedcentral.com)
  • Therefore, an exchange at this position is very unlikely and a mutation there will almost certainly cause structural changes which can affect functional changes. (tu-muenchen.de)
  • Therefore, we conclude that this mutation will probably cause protein structure changes as well as functional changes. (tu-muenchen.de)
  • Therefore, the mutation on this position is highly conserved and a mutation there will cause probably huge structural and functional changes for the protein. (tu-muenchen.de)
  • Fry protein is composed of an N-terminal Furry domain (FD) with HEAT/Armadillo repeats followed by five regions without any recognizable functional domains. (nature.com)
  • A search of the database using a profile as a probe involves making an optimal alignment of every sequence in the database to the profile and listing the alignments for which the alignment score is outstanding. (ucdavis.edu)
  • The alignment of a sequence to a profile is inherently more sensitive since the whole surface of comparison can be used to find the optimal alignment. (ucdavis.edu)
  • protdist does the conversion from observed protein distance to corrected evolutionary distances, using one of several evolutionary models. (biostars.org)
  • During viral infection, the ORF55 protein exerts its biological function through interactions with host proteins. (biomedcentral.com)
  • BLASTP programs search protein databases using a protein query. (nih.gov)
  • Purified CyHV-2 ORF55 protein was obtained by prokaryotic expression, and the interacting peptide was screened out using phage display. (biomedcentral.com)
  • Infection of human cells by the novel coronavirus (SARS-Cov-2) involves the attachment of the receptor binding domain (RBD) of the spike protein to the peripheral membrane ACE2 receptors. (biorxiv.org)
  • in poliovirus (PV), the interaction between the RNA replication complex and intracellular membranes appears to be accomplished by proteins 3A and 2C, which have membrane-binding properties ( 11 , 60 ). (asm.org)
  • The predominant molecules of this extracellular matrix are type 1 and type 3 collagen, with a small amount of type 4 collagen at the basement membrane. (medscape.com)
  • The serine at position 1199 is well conserved among the RP1L1 family in other species. (molvis.org)

  • SFLD (Structure-Function Linkage Database) is a hierarchical classification of enzymes that relates specific sequence-structure features to specific chemical capabilities. (readthedocs.io)
  • Phylogenetic analysis indicated a highly dynamic evolution of all three lipid-modifying enzymes in land plants, with many clade-specific duplications or losses and massive diversification of the C2-PLD family. (frontiersin.org)
  • This communication system is based on specific lipids as messengers and enzymes responsible for their production and degradation. (frontiersin.org)
  • Phosphoinositides (PPIs) together with various kinases and phosphatases were described as specific lipids and enzymes with signaling functions earlier ( Martin, 1998 ). (frontiersin.org)
  • The morphogenetic movements of gastrulation rearrange the three germ layers precursors, positioning mesodermal cells between outer ectodermal and inner endodermal cells to shape the head-to-tail body axis. (nature.com)
  • It consists of biologically significant sites, patterns and profiles that help to reliably identify to which known protein family a new sequence belongs. (readthedocs.io)
  • A collection of sequence alignments and profiles representing protein domains conserved in molecular evolution. (nih.gov)
  • Reverse transcription quantitative PCR results demonstrated high expression of an actin-binding Rho-activating protein in the latter stages of virus-infected cells, and molecular docking, cell transfection and coimmunoprecipitation experiments confirmed that it interacted with the ORF55 protein.
