We present a novel web-based resource, Gene3D, of precalculated structural assignments to gene sequences and whole genomes. This resource assigns structural domains from the CATH database to whole genes and links these to their curated functional and structural annotations within the CATH domain structure database, the functional Dictionary of Homologous Superfamilies (DHS) and PDBsum. Currently Gene3D provides annotation for 36 complete genomes (two eukaryotes, six archaea, and 28 bacteria). On average, between 30% and 40% of the genes of a given genome can be structurally annotated. Matches to structural domains are found using the profile-based method (PSI-BLAST). and a novel protocol, DRange, is used to resolve conflicts in matches involving different homologous superfamilies.

ATP-pyrophosphatases (ATP-PPases) are the most primordial lineage of the large and diverse HUP (high-motif proteins, universal stress proteins, ATP-pyrophosphatase) superfamily. There are four different ATP-PPase substrate-specificity groups (SSGs), and members of each group show considerable sequence variation across the domains of life despite sharing the same catalytic function. Owing to the expansion in the number of ATP-PPase domain structures from advances in protein structure prediction by AlphaFold2 (AF2), we have characterized the two most populated ATP-PPase SSGs, the nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide synthases (NADSs) and guanosine monophosphate synthases (GMPSs).

Cathelicidins have anti-inflammatory activity and chicken cathelicidin-2 (CATH-2) has shown to modulate immune response, but the underlying mechanism of its anti-inflammation is still unclear. Therefore, in this study, we investigated the anti-inflammatory activity of CATH-2 on murine peritoneal macrophages during avian pathogenic (APEC) infection. The results showed that CATH-2 priming significantly reduced the production of IL-1β, IL-6, IL-1α, and IL-12.

CATH (https://www.cathdb.info) is a structural classification database that assigns domains to the structures in the Protein Data Bank (PDB) and AlphaFold Protein Structure Database (AFDB) and adds layers of biological information, including homology and functional annotation.

This chapter addresses the following fundamental question: Do sequences of protein domains with sandwich architecture have common sequence characteristics even though they belong to different superfamilies and folds? The analysis was carried out in two stages: (1) determination of domain substructures shared by all sandwich proteins and (2) detection of common sequence characteristics within the substructures. Analysis of supersecondary structures in domains of proteins revealed two types of four-strand substructures that are common to sandwich proteins. At least one of these common substructures was found in proteins of 42 sandwich-like folds (per structural classification in the CATH database).

Proteins, fundamental to cellular activities, reveal their function and evolution through their structure and sequence. CATH functional families (FunFams) are coherent clusters of protein domain sequences in which the function is conserved across their members. The increasing volume and complexity of protein data enabled by large-scale repositories like MGnify or AlphaFold Database requires more powerful approaches that can scale to the size of these new resources.
