Background
Very often genome-wide data analysis requires the interoperation of multiple databases and analytic tools. A large number of genome databases and bioinformatics applications are available through the web, but it is difficult to automate interoperation because: 1) the platforms on which the applications run are heterogeneous, 2) their web interface is not machine-friendly, 3) they use a non-standard format for data input and output, 4) they do not exploit standards to define application interface and message exchange, and 5) existing protocols for remote messaging are often not firewall-friendly. To overcome these issues, web services have emerged as a standard XML-based model for message exchange between heterogeneous applications. Web services engines have been developed to manage the configuration and execution of a web services workflow. 相似文献2.
Introduction
The vast difference in the abundance of different proteins in biological samples limits the determination of the complete proteome of a cell type, requiring fractionation of proteins and peptides before MS analysis. 相似文献3.

In contrast to single-domain proteins unfolding of larger multi-domain proteins is often irreversible. In a comparative case study on three different multi-domain proteins (phosphoglycerate kinase: PGK and two homologous alpha-amylases: TAKA and BLA) we investigated properties of unfolded states and their ability to fold back into the native state. For this purpose guanidine hydrochloride, alkaline pH, and thermal unfolded states were characterized. Structural alterations upon unfolding and refolding transitions were monitored using fluorescence and CD spectroscopy. Static and dynamic light scattering was employed to follow aggregation processes. Furthermore, proper refolding was also investigated by enzyme activity measurements. While for PGK at least partial reversible unfolding transitions were observed in most cases, we found reversible unfolding for TAKA in the case of alkaline pH and GndHCl induced unfolding. BLA exhibits reversible unfolding only under conditions with high concentrations of protecting osmolytes (glycerol), indicating that aggregation of the unfolded state is the main obstacle to achieve proper refolding for this protein. Structural properties, such as number and size of domains, secondary structure contents and compositions within domains, and domain topology were analyzed and considered in the interpretation of differences in refolding behavior of the investigated proteins. 相似文献

Changes in gibberellin-like activity and content of indole type auxins were investigated during grain development of the two high-lysine barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) genotypes Sv 73608 and Risø 1508, and their corresponding normal cultivars Mona and Bomi. A peak in gibberellin-like activity was found in developing grains of the normal cultivars about 18 days after anthesis, whereas the grains of the high-lysine genotypes showed a two to five times higher maximum about 3–4 days later. The auxin content of the cultivar Bomi showed a maximum between the 22nd and the 29th day after anthesis, whereas, throughout their development the grains of the mutant Risø 1508 exhibited only about 1/10 of the maximum level of auxin found in the grains of Bomi. The normal cultivar Mona also displayed higher contents of auxin than the high-lysine genotypes Sv 73608, particularly at the later stages of grain growth, but the differences in concentration were considerable smaller than for the pair ‘Bomi’—‘Risø 1508’. It is suggested that auxins play an important role in the development of barley grains. 相似文献

Dehalococcoides bacteria are the only organisms known to completely reduce chlorinated ethenes to the harmless product ethene. However, Dehalococcoides dechlorinate these chemicals more effectively and grow more robustly in mixed microbial communities than in isolation. In this study, the phylogenetic composition and gene content of a functionally stable trichloroethene-degrading microbial community was examined using metagenomic sequencing and analysis. For phylogenetic classification, contiguous sequences (contigs) longer than 2500 bp were grouped into classes according to tetranucleotide frequencies and assigned to taxa based on rRNA genes and other phylogenetic marker genes. Classes were identified for Clostridiaceae, Dehalococcoides, Desulfovibrio, Methanobacterium, Methanospirillum, as well as a Spirochete, a Synergistete, and an unknown Deltaproteobacterium. Dehalococcoides contigs were also identified based on sequence similarity to previously sequenced genomes, allowing the identification of 170 kb on contigs shorter than 2500 bp. Examination of metagenome sequences affiliated with Dehalococcoides revealed 406 genes not found in previously sequenced Dehalococcoides genomes, including 9 cobalamin biosynthesis genes related to corrin ring synthesis. This is the first time that a Dehalococcoides strain has been found to possess genes for synthesizing this cofactor critical to reductive dechlorination. Besides Dehalococcoides, several other members of this community appear to have genes for complete or near-complete cobalamin biosynthesis pathways. In all, 17 genes for putative reductive dehalogenases were identified, including 11 novel ones, all associated with Dehalococcoides. Genes for hydrogenase components (271 in total) were widespread, highlighting the importance of hydrogen metabolism in this community. PhyloChip analysis confirmed the stability of this microbial community. 相似文献
