Talks WS 2013/14

Mar 27  Johannes Söding
          Leveraging evolutionary information for protein structure and function production More than 10 years after the human genome project, we still know only a fraction of the structures and functions of human proteins. My lab develops methods for very sensitive sequence search and alignment methods that are based on the pairwise comparison of sequence profiles. Such methods have led to remarkable improvements in protein structure and function prediction over the last 10 years. I will explain how the evolutionary information contained in sequence profiles can enable us to detect homologous relationships across billions of years. I will then give an overview of the state-of-the-art as well as our contributions to this field and also sketch ideas that offer great potential to further enhance the scope of sequence-based protein structure and function prediction methods.

Excavating human NUMTs

Paul Horton, AIST, CBRC, Japan

It is well known that remnants of partial or whole copies of mitochondrial DNA (NUMT)s are found in nuclear genomes.  Since whole genome sequences have become available, many bioinformatics studies have identified putative NUMTs and from those attempted to infer the factors involved in NUMT creation.

These studies conclude that NUMTs represent randomly chosen regions of the mitochondrial genome.  There is less consensus regarding the nuclear insertion sites of NUMTs - previous studies have discussed the possible role of retrotransposons, but some recent ones have reported no correlation or even anti-correlation between NUMT sites and retrotransposons. These studies have generally defined NUMT sites using BLAST with default parameters.

We analyze a redefined set of human NUMTs, computed with a carefully considered protocol.  We discover that the inferred insertion points of NUMTs have a strong tendency to have high predicted DNA curvature, occur in experimentally defined nucleosome depleted regions, and often occur immediately adjacent to A+T oligomers.  We also show clear evidence that their flanking regions are indeed rich in retrotransposons.  Finally we show that parts of the mitochondrial genome D-loop are under-represented as a source of NUMTs in primate evolution.
