  • Opposite directions in homologous proteins

    I am analyzing protein uncharacterized bacteria so far, which have a transmembrane domain and a coiled coil domio with low identity that other characterized protein of another bacteria phylum. In prediction programs, I observed that this protein has a Coiled coil domain in C' terminus, right in the periplasm, contrary to this, the protein that is apparently homologous has the coiled-coil in the N' terminus also targeted to the periplasm.
    I can not find examples of homologous proteins which have opposite directions.

    How sure are you that these are actual proteins?

    Because both coils and transmembrane doamins can come as well from wrong annotations.
    Especially some XXX in the genome sequence will lead to coils, and even intergenic regions will display some sort of transmembrane or periplasmic domains just be chance.

      Hello Dear
      Yes, I am sure that this proteins are well annotated.
      I attached an scheme of protein topology.

        My next guess would be that in both cases either start or end are missing.

        If not...good luck, seems interesting.

          Essential Discoveries and Tools in Epitranscriptomics
          by seqadmin


          The field of epigenetics has traditionally concentrated more on DNA and how changes like methylation and phosphorylation of histones impact gene expression and regulation. However, our increased understanding of RNA modifications and their importance in cellular processes has led to a rise in epitranscriptomics research. “Epitranscriptomics brings together the concepts of epigenetics and gene expression,” explained Adrien Leger, PhD, Principal Research Scientist on Modified Bases...

          Current Approaches to Protein Sequencing
          by seqadmin


          Proteins are often described as the workhorses of the cell, and identifying their sequences is key to understanding their role in biological processes and disease. Currently, the most common technique used to determine protein sequences is mass spectrometry. While still a valuable tool, mass spectrometry faces several limitations and requires a highly experienced scientist familiar with the equipment to operate it. Additionally, other proteomic methods, like affinity assays, are constrained...
