In the present investigation, we attempted to design a protocol to develop a hybrid protein with better bioremediation capacity. Using in silico approaches, a Hybrid Open Reading Frame (Hybrid ORF) is developed targeting the genes of microorganisms known for degradation of organophosphates. Out of 21 genes identified through BLAST search, 8 structurally similar genes (opdA, opd, opaA, pte RO, pdeA, parC, mpd and phnE) involved in biodegradation were screened. Gene conservational analysis categorizes these organophosphates degrading 8 genes into 4 super families i.e., Metallo-dependent hydrolases, Lactamase B, MPP and TM_PBP2 superfamily. Hybrid protein structure was modeled using multi-template homology modeling (3S07_A; 99%, 1P9E_A; 98%, 2ZO9_B; 33%, 2DXL_A; 33%) by $Schr{\ddot{o}}dinger$ software suit version 10.4.018. Structural verification of protein models was done using Ramachandran plot, it was showing 96.0% residue in the favored region, which was verified using RAMPAGE. The phosphotriesterase protein was showing the highest structural similarity with hybrid protein having raw score 984. The 5 binding sites of hybrid protein were identified through binding site prediction. The docking study shows that hybrid protein potentially interacts with 10 different organophosphates. The study results indicate that the hybrid protein designed has the capability of degrading a wide range of organophosphate compounds.

KiSS1-derived peptide receptor, a GPCR protein, binds with the hormone kiss peptin. They are important in the neuroendocrine regulation of reproduction and in the secretion of gonadotrophin-releasing hormone. Thus, analysing the structural features of the receptor becomes important. However, the three dimensional structure of the protein is unavailable. Hence in this study, we have performed the homology modelling of KiSS1-derived peptide receptor with 5 different templates. 30 models were constructed using two platforms - Easymodeller and ITasser. The optimal models were chosen based on the model validation. Two models were selected after validation. The developed models could provide useful for analysing the structural features of KiSS1-derived peptide receptor and their pathophysiological role in various disorders related to them.

Bradykinin receptor B2, a GPCR protein, binds with the inflammatory mediator hormone bradkynin. It plays an important role in cross-talk between the renin-angiotensin system (RAS) and the kinin-kallikrein system (KKS). Also, it is involved in many processes including vasodilation, edema, smooth muscle spasm and pain fiber stimulation. Hence, studuying the structural features of the receptor becomes important. But the unavailability of the three dimensional structure of the protein makes the analysis difficult. Hence we have performed the homology modelling of Bradykinin receptor B2 with 5 different templates. 25 different homology models were constructed. Two best models were selected based on the model validation. The developed models could be helpful in analysing the structural features of Bradykinin receptor B2 and in pathophysiology of various disorders related to them.

Neuromedin U receptor 1 is a GPCR protein which binds with the neuropeptide, neuromedin. It is involved in the regulation of feeding and energy homeostasis and related with immune mediated inflammatory diseases like asthma. It plays an important role in maintaining the biological clock and in the regulation of smooth muscle contraction in the gastrointestinal and genitourinary tract. Analysing the structural features of the receptor is crucial in studying the pathophysiology of the diseases related to the receptor important. As the three dimensional structure of the protein is not available, in this study, we have performed the homology modelling of the receptor using 5 different templates. The models were subjected to model validation and two models were selected as optimal. These models could be helpful in analysing the structural features of neuromedin U receptor 1 and their role in disorders related to them.

Glucagon-like peptide 2 receptor, a GPCR, binds with the glucagon-like peptide, GLP-2 and regulates various metabolic functions in the gastrointestinal tract. It plays an important role in the nutrient homeostasis related to nutrient assimilation by regulating mucosal epithelium. GLP-2 receptor affects the cellular response to external injury, by controlling the intestinal crypt cell proliferation. As they are therapeutically attractive towards diseases related with the gastrointestinal tract, it becomes essential to analyse their structural features to study the pathophysiology of the diseases. As the three dimensional structure of the protein is not available, in this study, we have performed the homology modelling of the receptor based on single- and multiple template modeling. The models were subjected to model validation and a reliable model based on the validation statistics was identified. The predicted model could be useful in studying the structural features of GLP-2 receptor and their role in various diseases related to them.

단백질은 서열의 disorder 구역이 생물학적 반응을 일으켜 order로 변하는 과정에서 그 기능을 하게 되므로 서열 데이터에서 disorder 구역과 order 구역을 분리하는 것은 단백질의 3차 구조 및 특성을 예측하는데 반드시 필요하다. 따라서 이 논문에서는 효율적인 disorder와 order 구역 분류를 위해서 단백질의 특정 특징에 치우치지 않는 분류 결과를 얻으면서, 분류 속도를 향상 시킬 수 있도록 서열 데이터를 이용한 분류/예측 기법을 제안한다. 출현패턴 기반의 EPs-TFP 기법은 중복 출현패턴이 제거된 필수 출현패턴만을 이용하는 분류/예측 기법이다. 이 분류 기법은 disorder 구역의 서열 출현패턴들을 발견하며, 이러한 서열 출현패턴은 disorder 구역에서는 빈발하지만 order 구역에서는 상대적으로 빈발하지 않는 패턴들이다. 또한 제안 알고리즘의 성능 향상을 위해서 기존의 P-tree, T-tree 개념의 TFP 기법을 확장하여 분류/예측 기법으로 적용하였다. EPs-TFP 기법의 성능평가를 위해서 Disprot 4.9와 CASP 7 데이터를 활용하였고, disorder/order 구역을 분류한 결과, 민감도 73.6, 특이도 69.5, 정확도 74.2를 보였다.

방대한 유전 정보를 분석, 가공하는 생명정보학의 중요성은 더욱 높아지고 있다. 본 논문에서는 단백질의 1차 구조만으로 단백질의 구조와 기능을 예측하는 새로운 데이터마이닝 방법을 제안한다. 단백질 서열만으로 특징 추출시 발생할 수 있는 문제점인 방대한 탐색공간을 효과적으로 축소하기 위해 n-Block substring 탐색 알고리즘을 제안한다. 또한 선별된 각 substring의 도메인 연관도를 결정하는 가중치를 구하여 가중 선형모형을 구축함으로써 구조와 기능에 관련이 있을 것으로 예상되는 단백질 도메인의 특징을 추출하고 분류에 효과적임을 보인다. 도메인에 포함되는 각각의 CDS(coding sequence)에 대해 모형으로부터 구한 점수를 통해 해당 도메인과의 연관성의 정도를 추정하며, 분류 효율을 더욱 향상시킬 수 있음을 보인다.

본 논문에서는 2020년 기준 단백질 서열을 이용한 기능과 구조 예측 분야에서 가장 많이 사용되고 있는 딥러닝 모델인 CNN과 LSTM/GRU 모델을 동일한 조건 하에 비교 평가한 연구를 토대로 새로운 효소 기능 예측 모델인 PSCREM을 설계하였다. CNN 합성곱 시 누락되는 세부 패턴을 보존하기 위하여 서열 진화정보를 이용하였으며 중첩 RNN을 통해 기능적으로 중요한 의미를 가지는 아미노산 간의 관계 정보를 추출하고 특징 맵 제작에 참조하였다. 사용된 RNN 계열의 알고리즘은 LSTM과 GRU로 보통 stacked RNN 기법으로 100 units 이상 2~3회 쌓는 것이 일반적이나 본 논문에서는 10, 20 unit으로 구성한 뒤 중첩시켜서 특징 맵 제작에 사용하였다. 모델에 들어가는 데이터는 단백질 서열 데이터로 PSSM profile로 가공한 뒤 사용되었다. 실험 결과 효소 번호 첫 번째 자리를 예측하는 문제에 대해 86.4%의 정확도를 나타냄을 입증하였고, 효소 번호 3번째 자리까지 예측 정확도 84.4%의 성능을 내는 것을 확인하였다. PSCREM은 Overlapped RNN을 통해 단백질 기능에 관련된 고유 패턴을 더 잘 파악하며 Overlapped RNN은 단백질 기능 및 구조 예측 추출 분야에 새로운 방법론으로서 제안된다.

Five fusion proteins between Z domains derived from Staphylococcal Protein A and Green Fluorescent Protein or Human Proinsulin were produced on the periplasm of Escherichia coli. The effects of the molecular weight and amino acid composition of the translocated peptide, culture medium composition, and growth phase of the bacterial culture were analyzed regarding the expression and periplasmic secretion of the recombinant proteins. It was found that secretion was not affected by the size of the translocated peptide (17-42 kDa) and that the highest periplasmic production values were obtained on the exponential phase of growth. Moreover, the highest periplasmic values were obtained in minimal medium, showing the relevance of the culture medium composition on secretion. In silico prediction analysis suggested that with respect to the five proteins used in this study, those that are prone to form ${\alpha}$-helix structures are more translocated to the periplasm.

Bloom syndrome protein (BLM) is a pivotal RecQ helicase necessary for genetic stability through DNA repair processes. Our investigation focuses on the N-terminal region of BLM, which has been considered as an intrinsically disordered region (IDR). This IDR plays a critical role in DNA metabolism by interacting with other proteins. In this study, we performed triple resonance experiments of BLM_220-300 and presented the backbone chemical shifts. The secondary structure prediction based on chemical shifts of the backbone atoms shows the region is disordered. Our data could help further interaction studies between BLM_220-300 and its binding partners using NMR.
