Canavan Task 3 - Sequence-based predictions
Oh, I would sing of mackerel skies, And why the sea is wet, Of jelly-fish and conger-eels, And things that I forget. (taken from "The Cumberbunce" by Paul West)

TM prediction of our Protein yielded the expected prediction of only cytoplasmic residues.
P35462
<figure id="CD_tm_3pbl">
</figure>
Polyphobius found 7 TMH for P35462. This is in accordance with the annotation for transmembrane regions in UniProt. There is only one structure listed for P35462: 3pbl. The annotation for TMH for this structure found in PDBTM and OPM also agrees with the Polyphobius result.
In figure <xr id="CD_tm_3pbl"/> the length distribution for the predicted and annotated TMH is depicted. One can see that PDBTM in general finds shorter TMH, whereas Polyphobius and OPM find longer helices.
P47863
<figure id="CD_tm_2D57">
</figure>
Polyphobius found 6 TMH for P47863. This is in accordance with the annotation for transmembrane regions in UniProt. There are three structures listed for P47863:
- 2D57 X-ray 3.20 A
- 2ZZ9 X-ray 2.80 A
- 3IYZ electron microscopy 10.00 A
Since 2ZZ9 is a mutant, we decided use 2D57 for comparison with the Phobius Output. Interestingly, OPM lists 8 TMH for P47863, whereas PDBTM agrees with the UniProt annotation and the Polyphobius output. The two additional TMH found by OPM are rather short (<10 AA) and therefore might be neglected. For the remaining TMH, all three methods find TMH of about the same length. In figure <xr id="CD_tm_3pbl"/> the length distribution for the predicted and annotated TMH is depicted.
