Structure of Hypothetical Protein LOC55471 Isoform 1
Comparing Structure of Proteins
Dali shows a few proteins with similar structure to 1zkd. They are 2ex4 and 1im8 which shows the highest Z-value of 11.7 and 11.6 respectively. The higher the Z-value the more significant is the results. However, they are only 10-12% identical to the query protein. Nevertheless, these 2 proteins are used to compare with the query protein as these 10-12% identity may be at the binding site or ligand which will determine the functions. 2ex4 is a human methyltransferase with S-adenosylhomocysteine and 1im8 is found to be a methyltransferase with a bound S-adenosylhomocysteine from the crystal structure of YecO from Haemophilus influenzae (HI0319).

Function of Hypothetical Protein LOC55471 Isoform 1
ProFunc analysis reveals methyltransferase activity as the most likely biochemical function
By using ProFunc (Laskowski et al, 2005) the most likely biochemical function of the unknown bacterial Protein 1zkd was determined as Methyltransferase. Matching structures were determined by SSM Secondary Structure Matching (Krissinel & Henrick, 2004) showing possible matches with 9 Methyltransferases from both human and bacteria (Fig.1).
Ligand Template Matches LIG (Laskowski et al, 2005) revealed a probable match with the Protein-l-isoaspartate o-methyltransferase 1dl5 (Fig.2).
REV Reverse Template Matches (Laskowski et al, 2005) also showed probable matches for several methyltransferases (Fig.3).
Superfamily program searches against a library of Hidden Markov Models HMMs (Gough et al, 2001; Madera et al, 2004) derived from SCOP families revealed similarities to the superfamily S-Adenosylmethionine-dependent Methyltransferases (E-value 6.69e-06). No DNA binding motifs (helix-turn-helix) were found in the ProFunc search.
Genomic context of the 1izkd gene
Genomic context of 1zkd in the genome of Rhodopseudomonas palustris from the NCBI Entrez Gene database shows a genomic co-localisation with another transferase, an oxidase, a kinase and another hypothetical protein (Fig.4).
Localisation of 1zkd orthologs in the cell
Nucleo (Nuclear Protein Localisation Prediction) predicted a chance of 0.07 for the mouse ortholog and a chance of 0.20 for the human ortholog of 1zkd to be located in the nucleus (Hawkins et al, 2006).
LOCATE data was available for the mouse ortholog showing that it is a soluble, non-secreted protein with higher scores for a localisation in mitochondria or the cytoplasm (Fink et al, 2006).
Expression profiles of mouse and human orthologs
Expression profile data of the mouse and human ortholog were suggested by analysis of EST counts from NCBI UniGene database (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/sites/entrez?db=unigene). ESTs were found in diverse tissues including brain, liver, lung, muscle and endocrine system showing that the target protein is expressed in a wide range of different cells (Fig.5a,b).
Electrostatic properties of the 1zkd protein surface
Electrostatic properties and surface charges of 1zkd were modelled using Adaptive Poisson-Boltzmann Solver APBS (Baker et al, 2001) and visualisation was performed by using Pymol (http://www.pymol.org). According to the resulting model, the 1zkd protein got a mostly negatively charged surface (Fig.6), indicating that interactions with the negatively charged backbone of nucleic acids are rather unlikely.
