The phylogenetic position of lupins in Papilionoideae and their evolutionary distance to other higher plants facilitates the use of this model species to improve our knowledge on genes involved in nitrogen assimilation and primary metabolism, providing novel contributions to our understanding of the evolutionary history of legumes. In this study, we present a complex characterization of two narrow-leafed lupin gene families—glutamine synthetase (GS) and phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase (PEPC). We combine a comparative analysis of gene structures and a synteny-based approach with phylogenetic reconstruction and reconciliation of the gene family and species history in order to examine events underlying the extant diversity of both families.

Robinson, * Jorn¨ Piel and Shinichi Sunagawa Covering: up to 2021 Metagenomics has yielded massive amounts of sequencing data offering a glimpse into the biosynthetic potential of the uncultivated microbial majority. While genome-resolved information about microbial communities from nearly every environment on earth is now available, the ability to accurately predict biocatalytic functions directly from sequencing data remains challenging. Compared to primary metabolic pathways, enzymes involved in secondary metabolism often catalyze specialized reactions with diverse substrates, making these pathways rich resources for the discovery of new enzymology. To date, functional insights gained from studies on environmental DNA (eDNA) have largely relied on PCR- or activity-based screening of eDNA fragments cloned in fosmid or cosmid libraries. As an alternative, Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial 3.0 Unported Licence. shotgun metagenomics holds underexplored potential for the discovery of new enzymes directly from eDNA by avoiding common biases introduced through PCR- or activity-guided functional metagenomics workflows. However, inferring new enzyme functions directly from eDNA is similar to searching for a ‘needle in a haystack’ without direct links between genotype and phenotype. The goal of this review is to provide a roadmap to navigate shotgun metagenomic sequencing data and identify new candidate biosynthetic enzymes. We cover both computational and experimental strategies to mine metagenomes and explore protein sequence space with a spotlight on natural product biosynthesis. Specifically, we compare in silico methods for enzyme discovery including phylogenetics, sequence similarity networks, This article is licensed under a genomic context, 3D structure-based approaches, and machine learning techniques.

Clearly detailed stud- interacting partners, there has been a limited focus on how these ies are required to understand when it is possible to infer an interactions compare with those known from three-dimensional (3D) interaction between proteins when one is known to occur between structures. Because comparison of protein interactions often involves homologues. considering homologous, but not identical, proteins, a key issue is Here, we present a method to model putative interactions on whether proteins that are homologous to an interacting pair will known 3D complexes and to assess the compatibility of a proposed interact in the same way, or interact at all. Accordingly, we describe protein–protein interaction with such a complex. After identifying a method to test putative interactions on complexes of known 3D the residues that make atomic contacts in a known crystallographic structure. Given a 3D complex and alignments of homologues of the complex, we look to homologues of both interacting proteins to see interacting proteins, we assess the fit of any possible interacting pair whether these interactions are preserved by means of empirical on the complex by using empirical potentials.

Schultz, July 11, 2002 Structural genomics is emerging as a principal approach to define An HT pipeline requires integrating technology and process protein structure–function relationships. To apply this approach on development. To this end, a large set of easily accessible genes a genomic scale, novel methods and technologies must be devel- is required. T. maritima is an attractive target for a structural oped to determine large numbers of structures. We describe genomics research program, as its small genome (1,877 genes) the design and implementation of a high-throughput structural makes it practical for isolating the entire recombinant proteome.
