Abstract
Olfactory receptor (OR) genes are essential in the specific recognition of diverse stimuli in fish. In this study, a total of 141 OR genes were identified in silver sillago (Sillago sihama), a marine fish sensitive to environmental stimuli, including 112 intact genes, 26 truncated genes, and three pseudogenes. A phylogenetic tree analysis elucidated that the OR genes of S. sihama were classified into six groups, of which β, γ, δ, ε, and ζ groups belonged to type I, and the η group belonged to type II. The type I OR genes contained almost all conserved motifs (n = 62), while type II OR genes mainly retained conserved motifs 7(3), 1, 10, 4, and 2 (n = 39). OR genes were mainly distributed on LG1, LG9, LG11, and LG12. Of all OR genes, 36.23% (50 genes) showed significant expansion in S. sihama. Ka/Ks analysis demonstrated that 227 sites were under purifying selection, while 12 sites were under positive selection, including eight genes in the OR2A12 gene subfamily. Sixty-one genes (44.20%) displayed differential expression under hypoxic stress. The identified OR genes explored the mechanism of environmental stress and ecological adaptation of S. sihama, and provided valuable genomic resources for further research on the olfaction of teleosts.

Baldazzi D, Savojardo C, Martelli PL, Casadio R. BENZ WS: the Bologna ENZyme Web Server for four-level EC number annotation. Nucleic Acids Res 2021; 49:W60-W66. [PMID: 33963861 PMCID: PMC8262719 DOI: 10.1093/nar/gkab328] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/03/2021] [Revised: 04/01/2021] [Accepted: 04/20/2021] [Indexed: 11/12/2022] Open
Abstract
The Bologna ENZyme Web Server (BENZ WS) annotates four-level Enzyme Commission numbers (EC numbers) as defined by the International Union of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology (IUBMB). BENZ WS filters a target sequence with a combined system of Hidden Markov Models, modelling protein sequences annotated with the same molecular function, and Pfams, carrying along conserved protein domains. BENZ returns, when successful, for any enzyme target sequence an associated four-level EC number. Our system can annotate both monofunctional and polyfunctional enzymes, and it can be a valuable resource for sequence functional annotation.

Profiti G, Martelli PL, Casadio R. The Bologna Annotation Resource (BAR 3.0): improving protein functional annotation. Nucleic Acids Res 2019; 45:W285-W290. [PMID: 28453653 PMCID: PMC5570247 DOI: 10.1093/nar/gkx330] [Citation(s) in RCA: 14] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/31/2017] [Accepted: 04/18/2017] [Indexed: 01/03/2023] Open
Abstract
BAR 3.0 updates our server BAR (Bologna Annotation Resource) for predicting protein structural and functional features from sequence. We increase data volume, query capabilities and information conveyed to the user. The core of BAR 3.0 is a graph-based clustering procedure of UniProtKB sequences, following strict pairwise similarity criteria (sequence identity ≥40% with alignment coverage ≥90%). Each cluster contains the available annotation downloaded from UniProtKB, GO, PFAM and PDB. After statistical validation, GO terms and PFAM domains are cluster-specific and annotate new sequences entering the cluster after satisfying similarity constraints. BAR 3.0 includes 28 869 663 sequences in 1 361 773 clusters, of which 22.2% (22 241 661 sequences) and 47.4% (24 555 055 sequences) have at least one validated GO term and one PFAM domain, respectively. 1.4% of the clusters (36% of all sequences) include PDB structures and the cluster is associated to a hidden Markov model that allows building template-target alignment suitable for structural modeling. Some other 3 399 026 sequences are singletons. BAR 3.0 offers an improved search interface, allowing queries by UniProtKB-accession, Fasta sequence, GO-term, PFAM-domain, organism, PDB and ligand/s. When evaluated on the CAFA2 targets, BAR 3.0 largely outperforms our previous version and scores among state-of-the-art methods. BAR 3.0 is publicly available and accessible at http://bar.biocomp.unibo.it/bar3.
