General introduction to the MarkUs interface Two example applications for the MarkUs server • Testing a hypothesis on protein function • Does NESG target 2eve interact with tRNA? • 2. Identification of a binding site • Where does sugar bind to VP8?
High Low Map residue conservation
Negative Positive Map electrostatic potentials
NESG target PsR62 (PDB 2eve) Structural neighbors YTH domains ASCH family potential mRNA binding domains connected to RNA metabolism PUA domains known to interact with tRNA Hypothesis: 2eve binds RNA
Negative Positive High Low Testing the hypothesis Residue conservation Electrostatic potentials NESG target 2eve PUA domain 1j2b
How to identify a postulated sugar binding site? VP8* carbohydrate-recognizing domain From porcine CRW-8 rotavirus
