ClustalW Results

Using the scores and results from DALI, a multiple sequence alignment was created with ClustalW. The sequences used were:

• 2i2o Structural Genomics, unknown function
• 1hu3 Translation eif4gii fragment
• 1uw4 nonsense mediated mRNA decay protein
• 1h6k Nuclear Protein

(refer to DALI table if unsure)

Generally, the alignment shows PATHETIC HOMOLOGY between these 4 sequences, which were already the best sequences that DALI could give. To view results, click here [1]

3D structural results using SSM (Analysis 1)

Not too sure what the results mean. to view results, click here [2]

The sequences used were:

• 2i2o Structural Genomics, unknown function
• 1hu3 Translation eif4gii fragment
• 1uw4 nonsense mediated mRNA decay protein
• 1h6k Nuclear Protein

(refer to DALI table if unsure)

3D structural results using SSM (Analysis 2)

There is a slight difference compared to the resu;ts above. The sequences used in this analysis are different from the one above. To view results, click here [3]

The sequences used were:

• 2i2o Structural Genomics, unknown function
• 1hu3 Translation eif4gii fragment
• 1uw4 nonsense mediated mRNA decay protein
• 2db0 hypothetical Protein

Scorecons results

Gives a score to the conserved residue of the msa. The sequences compared were the same as the ClustalW sequences. To view results, click here [4]

CATH results

CATH is a hierarchical classification of protein domain structures, which clusters proteins at four major levels, Class(C), Architecture(A), Topology(T) and Homologous superfamily (H).

Profunc results

The Profunc results are quite cool. Scroll down to the "cleft analysis" section, there is a good picture of how our protein can potentially bind to other proteins. to view, click here [6]
