Presentation Transcript

  1. Systematic analysis of human kinase genes: a large number of genes and alternative splicing events result in functional and structural diversityMilanesi et al. BMC Bioinformatics Dec 2005 Kristine Briedis Journal Club 17 April 2006

  2. Overview • Analysis of the human kinome • Identification of alternative splice forms • Domain and structure analysis

  3. Kinase Gene Identification • Generated PSI-BLAST position specific scoring matrix from Manning’s kinome • Used PSSM with tBLASTn against all human chromosome sequences in NCBI (as of April 14, 2003) • Predicted kinase genes from BLAST hits using GenomeScan

  4. Claim to find five “new” kinase genes • One is annotated in NCBI as a kinase • Other four are annotated in NCBI as predicted genes that are “similar to…kinase” • One gene codes for a protein only 2 aa different from a kinase Manning already identified (on different chromosome) • Another gene identified codes for a protein only 48 aa long (according to Ensembl)

  5. Search for CSTs • Compared mouse and human orthologous kinase genes to identify small genomic conserved sequence tags (CSTs) • Theory: functional sequences evolve slower, thus CSTs shared between species may indicate exons or other regulatory elements • CST must be at least 100 bp long and 70% identity • Able to analyze 483 corresponding human-mouse sequences • Found roughly 35000 CSTs, which cover 8% of the selected human sequences • CSTs “mostly unique”; about half within analyzed kinase gene exons

  6. CST analysis • Annotated CSTs for: • GC% • Similarity between orthologs (gaps, sequence identity) • Location in gene • Known SNPs • Identification of motifs and signals (TF binding sites; RNA secondary structure; repeats) • Checked for possibility of being an unidentified exon • Open reading frames; codon usage; matches with GENSCAN exons • Human EST match • Mouse counterpart is annotated as exon • Mouse counterpart matches rodent EST

  7. Alternative Splice Events

  8. Domain and Structure Analysis

  9. KinWeb

  10. Summary • Presented findings of 5 “new” kinase genes • Apparent discovery of alternative splice forms • Domain and structure analysis
