GO Terms RET4 HUMAN

From Bioinformatikpedia

GOPET

First, we used GOPET to predict the GO terms of the protein.

Figure 1: Result of the GOPET prediction for RET4_HUMAN

The method only predicts functional GO terms. RET4_HUMAN has 7 annotated GO functions. The methods predicts 8 GO function terms, which can be seen on Figure 1. Therefore, we decided to check if all predictions are correct.

GO term confidence prediction term prediction GOid

retiniod binding 81& right right
lipid binding 80% wrong wrong
retional binding 78% right right
transporter activity 78% right right
retinal binding 78% right right
lipid transport activity 69% wrong wrong
high-density lipoprotein particle binding 60% wrong wrong

Pfam

We used the webserver for our analysis. We decided to only trust the significant Pfam-A matches. To check if the predictions are correct we mapped the Pfam ids to the Go ids with help of a mapping website [[1]]. If a successful mapping was not possible, we compared the names of the predicted Pfam family with the names of the GO terms. If the names are similar or equal, we decided to trust the mapping.


Graphical representation of the prediction result of Pfam:

Pfam found one significant Pfam-A matches:

ProtFun 2.2



ProtFun 2.2 does not give clear predictions if the protein belongs to this class or not, instead it gives probabilities and odd scores. We decided to make a cutoff by 2. So all classes with an odd score of 2 or higher are results for us. You can also find a "=>" sign in the result file. This sign shows the result with the highest information content. We also take this line as result, although if the odd score is lower than 2. If we only have result with a odd score lower than 2, the line with this sign is our onliest result.
Because the prediction categories are very general, it was not possible to map the GOids. Therefore, we checked the known GO annotations. If there was a hint for a category and the protein was predicted to be in this category, we decided that the prediction is right, otherwise if the known GO annotations and the categories conflict, we count the prediction as wrong.
