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 organism identity template
2nt0 Glucosylceramidase Homo Sapiens 99%
> 40% sequence identity
PDB-ID name organism identity template
> 0% sequence identity
PDB-ID name organism identity 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%

Detailed Workflow

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

To create the Alignments needed as input, the tool ClustalW was used.

2WNW

Using the standard output alignment of ClustalW, the workunit of Swiss-Model got aborted: too many unfruitful attempts to rebuild a loop were tried. This indicates, that the alignment is not good and that it has to be adjusted.
