Homologous Structures

The 10 best results of the sequence search with HHSearch (as retrieved in Task 1) are listed in the table below.

> 60% sequence identity
PDB-ID name identity organism template
2nt0 Glucosylceramidase Homo Sapiens 99%
> 40% sequence identity
PDB-ID name identity organism template
> 0% sequence identity
PDB-ID name identity organism template
2wnw SrfJ Salmonella enterica subsp. enterica 29% x
3clw conserved exported protein Bacteroides fragilis 13%
3kl0 Glucuronoxylan Xylanohydrolase Bacillus subtilis 18% x
1nof xylanase Erwinia chrysanthemi 18%
2e4t Endoglucanase Clostridium thermocellum 11% x
3ii1 Cellulase Uncultured bacterium 15%
1qw9 Arabinosidase Geobacillus stearothermophilus 13%
1ik2 Endoglucanase Clostridium acetobutylicum 12 %
2c7f alpha-L-Arabinofuranosidase Clostridium thermocellum 16%

SWISS-MODEL

SWISS-MODEL workspace was published by Arnold et al. in 2005. <ref> Arnold K., Bordoli L., Kopp J., and Schwede T. (2006). The SWISS-MODEL Workspace: A web-based environment for protein structure homology modelling. Bioinformatics, 22,195-201.</ref>

Usage - Automated Mode

The automated mode should only be used, if target and template share more than 50% of sequence identity. This is not the case for the proteins selected as target in this case. Therefore the Alignment Mode will be used to create the models for glucocerebrosidase.

Usage - Alignment Mode

2WNW

To use the Alignment Mode of Swiss-Model, a alignment had to be created. To create the alignment clustalw was used. The resulting alignment was than used for the Alignment Mode. The workunit was aborted however, as there were too many unfruitful attempts to rebuild a loop. This indicates, that the alignment is not good and that it has to be adjusted.
