HOPE Have (y)Our Protein Explained MarlouSnelleman 2011
Overview • When and why do you use HOPE? • How to use HOPE? • How does HOPE work?
When and why do you use HOPE? • HOPE is useful when you are studying (point) mutations on protein level • Using HOPE can save a lot of time • Pre-select mutations that are expected to have effect • Quick information without examining multiple databases and programs • No need for complete knowledge of bioinformatics
How to use HOPE? • HOPE needs the sequence as input
BLAST Input • The sequence • The mutation • Object: The sequence • Tool: BLAST • Information: • Uniprot • Additional information • Domains, active sites, phosphorylation sites, contacts, cysteine bridges, variants etc. • PDB • Structural information
Uniprot • Database that contains • Protein sequences • Protein information • Function • Origin • Position of active site(s) • Position of phosphorylation site(s) • Domains • Etc. • Cross-links to other databases • Etc.
PDB Structure or model • 100% identity? • Use this PDB structure • Less than 100% identity? • Make a model • when the sequences are longer than 80 amino acids and the identity is higher than 25% (Sander and Schneider curve) • with the YASARA and WHAT IF Twinset
Structure or modelStructural analysis • Object: Structure or model • Tool: WHAT IF • Information: Clashes, disturbed contacts, etc.
PDB No structure • Object: The sequence • Tool: DAS-servers • Information: prediction of for example phosphorylation sites.
HSSP Conservation scores • Object: The sequence • Tool: HSSP • Information: conservation scores Comparison of properties • Object: The wild type and the mutant amino acids • Information: comparison of the different properties of the amino acids
One example: LRTOMT • Mutations in the LRTOMT gene cause deafness • One of these mutations: Y111L
One example: LRTOMT • HOPE:
