TranCEP: Predicting transmembrane transport proteins using composition, evolutionary, and positional information Munira Alballa1, Faizah Aplop2, Gregory Butler1,3* 1 Department of Computer Science and Software Engineering, Concordia University, Montr´eal, Qu´ebec, Canada 2 School of Informatics and Applied Mathematics, Universiti Malaysia Terengganu, Malaysia 3 Centre for Structural and Functional Genomics, Concordia University, Montr´eal,Qu´ebec, Canada * [email protected] Abstract Transporters mediate the movement of compounds across the membranes that separate the cell from its environment, and across inner membranes surrounding cellular compartments. It is estimated that one third of a proteome consists of membrane proteins, and many of these are transport proteins. Given the increase in the number of genomes being sequenced, there is a need for computation tools that predict the substrates which are transported by the transmembrane transport proteins. In this paper, we present TranCEP, a predictor of the type of substrate transported by a transmembrane transport protein. TranCEP combines the traditional use of the amino acid composition of the protein, with evolutionary information captured in a multiple sequence alignment, and restriction to important positions of the alignment that play a role in determining specificity of the protein. Our experimental results show that TranCEP significantly outperforms the state of the art.

Pugh, Chair Department of Computer Science and Software Engineering 2019 Amir Asif, Dean Faculty of Engineering and Computer Science Abstract Classifying Transport Proteins Using Profile Hidden Markov Models and Specificity Determining Sites Qing Ye This thesis develops methods to classifiy the substrates transported across a membrane by a given transmembrane protein. Our methods use tools that predict specificity determining sites (SDS) after computing a multiple sequence alignment (MSA), and then building a profile Hidden Markov Model (HMM) using HMMER. In bioinformatics, HMMER is a set of widely used applications for sequence analysis based on profile HMM. Specificity determining sites (SDS) are the key positions in a protein sequence that play a crucial role in functional variation within the protein family during the course of evolution.

DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY OFFICE OF HEALTH AND ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH SEQUENCING THE HUMAN GENOME SUMMARY REPORT ON THE SANTA FE WORKSHOP (MARCH 3-4, 1986) Executive Summary. The following is a summary of the Santa Fe Workshop held on March 3 and 4, 1986. The workshop was sponsored by the Office of Health and Environmental Research (OHER) and Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL) and dedicated to examining the feasibility, advisability, and approaches to sequencing the human genome. The workshop considered four principal topics: I. Technologies to be employed. II. Expected benefits. III. Architecture of the enterprise. IV. Participants and funding. I . Technology The participants of the workshop foresaw extraordinary and continuing progress in the efficiency and accuracy of mapping, ordering , and sequencing technologies. They suggested that a coordinated analysis of the human genome begin with the task of ordering overlapping recombinant DNA fragments obtained from purified human chromosomes that would provide an infrastructure for sequencing activity. At the same time, they support in-depth evaluation of current and developing strategies for sequencing including possible applications of automation and robotics that would minimize the time and cost of sequencing. II. Benefits The socio-political and health benefits, and the benefit:cost ratio were seen as highly favorable not only for human health, but in addition for the development of new diagnostic, preventative and therapeutic tools, jobs, and industries.

Library of Congress Catalog Card Number 87-619898 For sale by the Superintendent of Documents U.S. Government Printing Office, Washington, DC 20402-9325 (order form can be found in the back of this report) Foreword For the past 2 years, scientific and technical journals in biology and medicine have extensively covered a debate about whether and how to determine the function and order of human genes on human chromosomes and when to determine the sequence of molecular building blocks that comprise DNA in those chromosomes. In 1987, these issues rose to become part of the public agenda. The debate involves science, technol- ogy, and politics. Congress is responsible for ‘(writing the rules” of what various Federal agencies do and for funding their work. This report surveys the points made so far in the debate, focusing on those that most directly influence the policy options facing the U.S. Congress, The House Committee on Energy and Commerce requested that OTA undertake the project. The House Committee on Science, Space, and Technology, the Senate Com- mittee on Labor and Human Resources, and the Senate Committee on Energy and Natu- ral Resources also asked OTA to address specific points of concern to them. Congres- sional interest focused on several issues: ● how to assess the rationales for conducting human genome projects, ● how to fund human genome projects (at what level and through which mech- anisms), ● how to coordinate the scientific and technical programs of the several Federal agencies and private interests already supporting various genome projects, and ● how to strike a balance regarding the impact of genome projects on international scientific cooperation and international economic competition in biotechnology.

However, due to the complexity of the interactions between residues in the ZF recognition helix and the DNA-binding site there is currently no comprehensive recognition code that would allow for the accurate prediction of the DNA ZFP binding motifs or the design of novel ZFPs for a desired target site. Through the analysis of the DNA-binding site specificities of 98 ZFP clones, determined through a bacterial one-hybrid selection system, a predictive model was created that can accurately predict the binding site motifs of novel ZFPs. 2 T A B L E O F C O N T E N TS Signature Page ««««««««««««««««««««««««««« $EVWUDFW«««««««««««««««««««««««««««««« 7DEOHRI&RQWHQWV«««««««««««««««««««««««««« $FNQRZOHGJHPHQWV««««««««««««««««««««««««« %DFNJURXQG«««««««««««««««««««««««««««« Project Purpose «««««««««««««««««««««««««««15 0HWKRGV««««««««««««««««««««««««««««««16 5HVXOWV««««««««««««««««««««««««««««««21 'LVFXVVLRQ«««««««««««««««««««««««««««««28 Bibliograph\«««««««««««««««««««««««««««« 6XSSOHPHQWDO««««««««««««««««««««««««««« 3 A C K N O W L E D G E M E N TS I would like to thank Dr.
