This work analyzed the SNPs that can alter the expression and function of transcriptional factor TP53 as a pipeline and proposed modeled structure for the mutant proteins and compared them with the native protein.
Abstract
Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) are the most common type of genetic variations in humans Understanding the functions of SNPs can greatly help to understand the genetics of the human phenotype variation and especially the genetic basis of human complex diseases The method to identify functional SNPs from a pool, containing both functional and neutral SNPs is challenging by experimental protocols To explore possible relationships between genetic mutation and phenotypic variation, different computational algorithm tools like Sorting Intolerant from Tolerant, Polymorphism Phenotyping, UTRscan, FASTSNP, and PupaSuite were used for prioritization of high-risk SNPs in coding region (exonic nonsynonymous SNPs) and noncoding regions (intronic and exonic 5' and 3'-untranslated region (UTR) SNPs) In this work, we have analyzed the SNPs that can alter the expression and function of transcriptional factor TP53 as a pipeline and for providing a guide to experimental work We identified the possible mutations and proposed modeled structure for the mutant proteins and compared them with the native protein These nsSNPs play a critical role in cancer association studies aiming to explain the disparity in cancer treatment responses as well as to improve the effectiveness of the cancer treatments Our results endorse the study with in vivo experimental protocols

The Role of Sialic Acid Acetylesterase in the Maintenance of B Cell Self Tolerance

TL;DR: It is found that most catalytically dead, diseaseassociated variants of SIAE are partially misfolded, and coimmunoprecipitation studies indicated that mutant SIAe associates with wildtype SiaE in a multimer and acts in a dominant-interfering manner to decrease activity of the wildtype protein.

SIFT: predicting amino acid changes that affect protein function

TL;DR: SIFT is a program that predicts whether an amino acid substitution affects protein function so that users can prioritize substitutions for further study and can distinguish between functionally neutral and deleterious amino acid changes in mutagenesis studies and on human polymorphisms.

Predicting Deleterious Amino Acid Substitutions

TL;DR: A tool that uses sequence homology to predict whether a substitution affects protein function is constructed, which may be used to identify plausible disease candidates among the SNPs that cause missense substitutions.
