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).

1zkd is an unknown protein, and by using proteins similar to it, the functions of this unknown protein can be predicted. With 2ex4 and 1im8 showed by Dali to be the most similar, other tools are used to determine the similarity. Combinatorial Extension Method is used. Below shows the sequence alignment and structure alignment of the unknown protein with the proteins obtained from dali:

Domain DUF 185 has been identified by InterPro and Pfam as show above. In Pfam the E value of 3.9e-65 gives significant results showing that it is not by chance nor random that the match made was DUF185. However not much is known about DUF 185.


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).


Figure 1. SSM results showing ten sequences with a sequences id around 20 % with higher matching folds.


Ligand Template Matches LIG (Laskowski et al, 2005) revealed a probable match with the Protein-l-isoaspartate o-methyltransferase 1dl5 (Fig.2).

Figure 2. LIG results support the hypothesis of 1zkd being a methyltransferase.


REV Reverse Template Matches (Laskowski et al, 2005) also showed probable matches for several methyltransferases (Fig.3).


Figure 3. REV results showing five probable matches, which are all methyl or dimethyltransferases.


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).


Figure 4. The RPA4359 gene of the protein 1zkd is co-located with an upstream prolipoprotein diacylglyceryl transferase gene (1gt) and downstream with a multicopper polyphenol oxidase (RPA4360), a ribose-phosphate pyrophosphokinase (ribP) and another hypothetical protein of unknown function gene (RPA4361).

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).

Figure 5b. Expression profile of the human ortholog.


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.

Evolution of Hypothetical Protein LOC55471 Isoform 1

BLASTP results produced 47 multiple aligned sequences to the bacterial sequence of the 1ZKD protein. The results are as follow BLASTP results.

The highlighted sequences show the 1ZKD protein sequence data and the closest match or best aligned sequence (>gi|39937419|ref|NP_949695.1| DUF185 [Rhodopseudomonas palustris CGA009]).
