Title:                    Structural genomics of eukaryotic model organisms

Summary:            Goal of the pilot project in structural genomics (one of nine in the USA; of about 14 world-wide) to develop high-throughput techniques for large-scale structure determination. This project combines over 20 groups from 12 research institutions in the USA, Canada and Israel. Our particular task is the development of techniques that rationalize the automatic target selection, i.e. prioritize which proteins to pursue experimentally.

Title:                    Intruding into the midnight zone of protein sequence comparisons

Summary:            The 'twilight zone' of protein sequence comparison is the region in which sequence similarity does not suffice to conclude, e.g., structural similarity. The vast majority of all protein pairs of similar structure populate a 'midnight zone', i.e., their sequences differ too much for sequence-based inferences. We proposed to refine, extend, and specialize methods combining sequence alignment, structure prediction and functional information. Goal is to unravel hidden similarities in entirely sequenced organisms by a reliable, automatic tool. Towards the end of our project, the sequences for most protein families realized by life will supposedly be available.

Title:                    Ab initio prediction of sub-cellular localization

Summary:            The major goals of this project are to develop a system predicting the sub-cellular localization of a protein based on sequence alignments and signal peptide motifs. The ultimate objective is to combine a series of novel methods into a comprehensive system that we can use to automatically annotate genomes, in particular those of the fly and the subset of known human proteins. We expect to have our first comprehensive system for the major compartments available by fall 2003.

Title:                    Predict putative protein-protein interface segments at low resolution

Summary:            Here, we propose to develop methods predicting interface segments, i.e. regions of residues consecutive in sequence that are in contact with other interface segments. Separate methods address internal and external interfaces. The basic means explored will be combinations of statistics and neural networks using evolutionary information as contained in multiple sequence alignments. The goal is a low-resolution prediction succeeding often enough to distinguish between internal and external interfaces to assist the design of experiments in molecular and medical biology. We focus on predicting interfaces from sequence.
