The Saccharomyces Genome Database (SGD: http://genome-www.stanford.edu/Saccharomyces/) has recently developed new resources to provide more complete information about proteins from the budding yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae. The PDB Homologs page provides structural information from the Protein Data Bank (PDB) about yeast proteins and/or their homologs. SGD has also created a resource that utilizes the eMOTIF database for motif information about a given protein. A third new resource is the Protein Information page, which contains protein physical and chemical properties, such as molecular weight and hydropathicity scores, predicted from the translated ORF sequence. 相似文献

The Saccharomyces Genome Database (SGD) provides Internet access to the complete Saccharomyces cerevisiae genomic sequence, its genes and their products, the phenotypes of its mutants, and the literature supporting these data. The amount of information and the number of features provided by SGD have increased greatly following the release of the S.cerevisiae genomic sequence, which is currently the only complete sequence of a eukaryotic genome. SGD aids researchers by providing not only basic information, but also tools such as sequence similarity searching that lead to detailed information about features of the genome and relationships between genes. SGD presents information using a variety of user-friendly, dynamically created graphical displays illustrating physical, genetic and sequence feature maps. SGD can be accessed via the World Wide Web at http://genome-www.stanford.edu/Saccharomyces/ 相似文献

The annotation of the well-studied organism, Saccharomyces cerevisiae, has been improving over the past decade while there are unresolved debates over the amount of biologically significant open reading frames (ORFs) in yeast genome. We revisited the total count of protein-coding genes in S. cerevisiae S288c genome using a theoretical approach by combining the Support Vector Machine (SVM) method with six widely used measurements of sequence statistical features. The accuracy of our method is over 99.5% in 10-fold cross-validation. Based on the annotation data in Saccharomyces Genome Database (SGD), we studied the coding capacity of all 1744 ORFs which lack experimental results and suggested that the overall number of chromosomal ORFs encoding proteins in yeast should be 6091 by removing 488 spurious ORFs. The importance of the present work lies in at least two aspects. First, cross-validation and retrospective examination showed the fidelity of our method in recognizing ORFs that likely encode proteins. Second, we have provided a web service that can be accessed at http://cobi.uestc.edu.cn/services/yeast/, which enables the prediction of protein-coding ORFs of the genus Saccharomyces with a high accuracy. 相似文献

Saccharomyces cerevisiae is used to provide fundamental understanding of eukaryotic genetics, gene product function, and cellular biological processes. Saccharomyces Genome Database (SGD) has been supporting the yeast research community since 1993, serving as its de facto hub. Over the years, SGD has maintained the genetic nomenclature, chromosome maps, and functional annotation, and developed various tools and methods for analysis and curation of a variety of emerging data types. More recently, SGD and six other model organism focused knowledgebases have come together to create the Alliance of Genome Resources to develop sustainable genome information resources that promote and support the use of various model organisms to understand the genetic and genomic bases of human biology and disease. Here we describe recent activities at SGD, including the latest reference genome annotation update, the development of a curation system for mutant alleles, and new pages addressing homology across model organisms as well as the use of yeast to study human disease. 相似文献

Background
Several protein-protein interaction studies have been performed for the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae using different high-throughput experimental techniques. All these results are collected in the BioGRID database and the SGD database provide detailed annotation of the different proteins. Despite the value of BioGRID for studying protein-protein interactions, there is a need for manual curation of these interactions in order to remove false positives. 相似文献9.
The mechanism of autophagy relies on complex cell signaling and regulatory processes. Each cell contains many proteins that lack a rigid 3-dimensional structure under physiological conditions. These dynamic proteins, called intrinsically disordered proteins (IDPs) and protein regions (IDPRs), are predominantly involved in cell signaling and regulation. Yet, very little is known about their presence among proteins of the core autophagy machinery. In this work, we characterized the autophagy protein Atg3 from yeast and human along with 2 variants to show that Atg3 is an IDPRs-containing protein and that disorder/order predicted for these proteins from their amino acid sequence corresponds to their experimental characteristics. Based on this consensus, we applied the same prediction methods to all known Atg proteins from Saccharomyces cerevisiae. The data presented here provide an insight into the structural dynamics of each Atg protein. They also show that intrinsic disorder at various levels has to be taken into consideration for about half of the Atg proteins. This work should become a useful tool that will facilitate and encourage exploration of protein intrinsic disorder in autophagy. 相似文献

Recent progress in the analysis of protein components of the mitochondrial nucleoid and replisome of baker's yeast, Saccharomyces cerevisiae, opens a unique opportunity for understanding the molecular principles of mitochondrial inheritance. In this work we identified homologs of proteins involved in the mitochondrial DNA packaging and replication in the complete genome sequence of the petite-negative yeast Kluyveromyces lactis. Comparative analysis of their counterparts from phylogenetically diverse yeast species revealed conserved as well as diverged features of the organellar chromosome structure and its replication strategy. Moreover, it provides a basis for subsequent functional studies of the structure and dynamics of the mitochondrial nucleoids. 相似文献

Two more organisms from different taxonomic groups were added to a new version of the Integrated Sequence-Structure Database (ISSD). ISSD serves as an integrated source of sequence and structure information for the analysis of correlations between mRNA synonymous codon usage and three-dimensional structure of the encoded proteins. ISSD now holds 88 non-homologous Escherichia coli proteins and 25 yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae proteins in addition to the expanded set of mammalian proteins, which includes 166 proteins (107 in ISSD Version 1.0). Comparison of ISSD sequences with organism-specific codon usage data derived from CUTG database shows that it is a representative subset of the GenBank coding sequences data. Preliminary results of the statistical analysis confirm that sequence-structure correlations observed by us earlier are also present in the upgraded ISSD (Version 2.0), including bacterial and yeast proteins. The ISSD Version 2.0 release includes an improved Web-based data search and retrieval system and is accessible via URL http://www.protein.bio.msu.su/issd/. ISSD can be also accessed at ExPASy, URL http://www.expasy.ch/swissmod/swiss-model.htm l 相似文献

The product of the SUP35 gene of the saccharomycete yeast, the translation termination eRF3 factor, can be converted in prion, the heritable determinant of protein nature. The nucleotide sequence of this gene from the strain belonging to Peterhof genetic lines of the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae was determined. A comparison of the identified sequence with SUP35 sequences in the database of GenBank allowed the detection of polymorphic sites both in the SUP35 gene and its product. The location of polymorphic sites in the evolutionarily nonconserved N-terminal protein region confirmed that this eRF3 fragment lacks functions vital to life activity. Nevertheless, these sites are located in the vicinity of sites, whose role in the prion conversion of eRF3 has been established. Based on this, natural polymorphism of the primary eRF3 structure is assumed to be connected with the existence of different variants (strains) of its prion analog. 相似文献

Upon the completion of the SACCHAROMYCES: cerevisiae genomic sequence in 1996 [Goffeau,A. et al. (1997) NATURE:, 387, 5], several creative and ambitious projects have been initiated to explore the functions of gene products or gene expression on a genome-wide scale. To help researchers take advantage of these projects, the SACCHAROMYCES: Genome Database (SGD) has created two new tools, Function Junction and Expression Connection. Together, the tools form a central resource for querying multiple large-scale analysis projects for data about individual genes. Function Junction provides information from diverse projects that shed light on the role a gene product plays in the cell, while Expression Connection delivers information produced by the ever-increasing number of microarray projects. WWW access to SGD is available at genome-www.stanford. edu/Saccharomyces/. 相似文献

It is a well known phenomenon that the occurrence of several distinct amino acids at the C-terminus of proteins is non-random. We have analysed all Saccharomyces cerevisiae proteins predicted by computer databases and found lysine to be the most frequent residue both at the last (-1) and at the penultimate amino acid (-2) positions. To test the hypothesis that C-terminal basic residues efficiently bind to phospholipids we randomly expressed GST-fusion proteins from a yeast genomic library. Fifty-four different peptide fragments were found to bind phospholipids and 40% of them contained lysine/arginine residues at the (-1) or (-2) positions. One peptide showed high sequence similarity with the yeast protein Sip18p. Mutational analysis revealed that both C-terminal lysine residues of Sip18p are essential for phospholipid-binding in vitro. We assume that basic amino acid residues at the (-1) and (-2) positions in C-termini are suitable to attach the C-terminus of a given protein to membrane components such as phospholipids, thereby stabilizing the spatial structure of the protein or contributing to its subcellular localization. This mechanism could be an additional explanation for the C-terminal amino acid bias observed in proteins of several species. 相似文献

Cloning and characterization of the mitochondrial phosphate transport protein gene from the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae. 总被引:5,自引:0,他引:5
We have cloned the gene of the Saccharomyces cerevisiae phosphate transport protein (PTP), a member of the mitochondrial anion transport protein gene family. As PTP has a blocked N-terminus, we prepared three peptides. Oligonucleotides, based on their sequences, were used to screen a Yep24-housed genomic library. A total of 2073 bases of clone Y22 code for a 311 amino acid protein (Mr 32,814), which has similarities to the anion transport proteins: a triplicate gene structure and 6 hydrophobic segments. Typical for PTP, the triplicate gene structure possesses the X-Pro-X-(Asp/Glu)-X-X-(Lys/Arg)-X-(Arg/Lys)-X (X is an unspecified amino acid) motif and the very high homology only between the first and second repeat. The 6 hydrophobic segments harbor most of the 116 amino acids that are conserved between the yeast and the beef proteins. An N-terminal-extended signal sequence, as found in the beef protein, is absent. The yeast protein has about 33% fewer basic and acidic amino acids and five fewer Cys residues than the beef protein. The protein is insensitive to N-ethylmaleimide since Cys-42 (beef) has been replaced with a Thr. Mersalyl sensitivity has been retained and must be due to one of its three cysteines. Among these three cysteines, only Cys-28, located in the first hydrophobic segment, is conserved between the yeast and the beef protein. 相似文献

The ability of the plasmid pE194 from S. aureus to serve as an autonomously replicating sequence (ARS) in yeast was shown. The hybrid plasmid pLD744 that contains pE194 and the yeast LEU2 gene sequences is unstable in yeast like other YRp-vectors: the mitotic stability of the pLD744 was as much as 1%. The plasmid pLD712 that differs from pLD744 by the existence of a centromeric sequence from the chromosome III of yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae reveals about one order greater stability. The observation that there are some sequences in the primary structure of the pE194 which strongly conform to the ARS consensus in yeast inclines us to infer that the existence of ARS consensus on pE194 DNA is not sufficient for its effective replication in yeast. 相似文献

Saccharomyces cerevisiae accomplishes high rates of hexose transport. The kinetics of hexose transport are complex. The capacity and kinetic complexity
of hexose transport in yeast are reflected in the large number of sugar transporter genes in the genome. Twenty hexose transporter
genes exist in S. cerevisiae. Some of these have been found by genetic means; many have been discovered by the comprehensive sequencing of the yeast genome.
This review codifies the nomenclature of the hexose transporter genes and describes the sequence homology and structural similarity
of the proteins they encode. Information about the expression and function of the transporters is presented. Access to the
sequences of the genes and proteins at three sequence databases is provided via the World Wide Web.

Monomeric human calcitonin (hCT) gene and oligomeric hCT genes composed of two, three or four head-to-tail linked monomers were fused in-frame to the yeast alpha-factor leader coding sequence wild-type and fragile mutant Saccharomyces cerevisiae strains were transformed with the constructed plasmids and the yield of recombinant protein secreted into the culture medium was measured. The yeast cells secreted equal (molar) amounts of all of the hCT variants. The recombinant proteins remained stable in the growth medium for at least 3 days. The fragile cells secreted about 30% more hCT as compared to the wild-type yeast cells. 相似文献
