Disease relevance of Sequence Alignment

  • Based on sequence alignments with other histidine kinases, we dissected the Salmonella enterica Mg2+-sensor PhoQ in different subdomains and examined by in vivo and in vitro assays its interaction with the associated response regulator PhoP [1].
  • Via sequence alignments, based upon the crystal structure of the closely related Pseudomonas glumae lipase, a model has been made of the secondary-structure elements in AcLipA [2].
  • This multiple sequence alignment of paramyxovirus HN proteins was used as an intermediate to align the morbillivirus hemagglutinin (H) proteins with neuraminidase [3].
  • We also constructed SNV-based gag-pol chimeric variants by replacing the SNV integrase with the HIV-1 integrase, based on multiple sequence alignments and domain analyses [4].
  • Sequence alignments and secondary-structure prediction for HPV-16 E1 and other superfamily 3 (SF3) viral helicases closely parallel the mapping data in suggesting that aa 439 to 623 constitute a discrete helicase domain [5].

Biological context of Sequence Alignment

 

Anatomical context of Sequence Alignment

  • Finally, sequence alignments suggest that all three linker subdomains are highly conserved among the large subfamily of histidine kinase-coupled sensory receptors that possess methylation sites for use in covalent adaptation [21].
  • We have used polymerase chain reaction and highly degenerate, inosine containing oligonucleotides derived from sequence alignments of the transmembrane regions 2 and 7 of a number of G-binding protein receptors including the lutropin/choriogonadotropin (LH/CG) receptors to amplify various cDNAs from human thyroid cDNA [22].
  • Multiple DNA and protein sequence alignments have been constructed for the human T-cell receptor alpha/delta, beta, and gamma (TCRA/D, B, and G) variable (V) gene segments [23].
 

Associations of Sequence Alignment with chemical compounds

  • Sequence alignment and modeling of interleukin (IL)-3R and IL-5R identified an arginine residue at the tip of a beta turn in a highly divergent context at the F'-G' loop, close to a conserved structural element, the WSXWS motif, suggesting the possibility of a ligand association mechanism similar to the one described herein for GMR [24].
  • Multiple sequence alignments have been made based on structural information; they indicate that there will be only a limited number of canonical conformations for the first and second CDR loops [25].
  • Sequence alignment of known SNAPs revealed only leucine 294 to be conserved in the final 10 amino acids of alpha-SNAP [26].
  • Multiple sequence alignment of these MIF homologues reveals additional invariant residues that span the entire polypeptide but are in close proximity to the N-terminal proline in the folded protein [27].
  • Sequence alignment of P4.2 with these two transglutaminases, however, revealed that P4.2 lacks the critical cysteine residue required for the enzymatic crosslinking of substrates [28].
 

Gene context of Sequence Alignment

  • Sequence alignments and secondary structure predictions verified that mHip1R belongs to the Sla2 protein family [29].
  • Analysis of sequence alignments with IL-1 beta from other mammalian species shows the interior to be very well conserved with the exterior residues markedly less so [30].
  • Sequence alignments show that Hk, together with mammalian Kv beta, represents an additional branch of the aldo-keto reductase superfamily [31].
  • Moreover, based on these structures and sequence alignment of the FGF family, we propose that the Pro-253 --> Arg mutation will indiscriminately increase the affinity of FGFR2 toward any FGF [32].
  • Using multiple sequence alignment, we identified two vertebrate-conserved TERT N-terminal regions containing vertebrate-specific residues that were required for human telomerase activity [33].
