ScanProsite--http://www.expasy.org/tools/scanprosite/--is a new and improved version of the web-based tool for detecting PROSITE signature matches in protein sequences. For a number of PROSITE profiles, the tool now makes use of ProRules--context-dependent annotation templates--to detect functional and structural intra-domain residues. The detection of those features enhances the power of function prediction based on profiles. Both user-defined sequences and sequences from the UniProt Knowledgebase can be matched against custom patterns, or against PROSITE signatures. To improve response times, matches of sequences from UniProtKB against PROSITE signatures are now retrieved from a pre-computed match database. Several output modes are available including simple text views and a rich mode providing an interactive match and feature viewer with a graphical representation of results.

The cofilin-1 protein, encoded by CFL1, is an actin-binding protein that regulates F-actin depolymerization and nucleation activity through phosphorylation and dephosphorylation. CFL1 has been implicated in the development of neurodegenerative diseases (Alzheimer's disease and Huntington's disease), neuronal migration disorders (lissencephaly, epilepsy, and schizophrenia), and neural tube closure defects. Mutations in CFL1 have been associated with impaired neural crest cell migration and neural tube closure defects.

The prediction of functional domains is typically among the first steps towards understanding the function of new proteins and protein families. There are numerous databases of annotated protein domains that permit researchers to identify domains on individual proteins of interest. However, it is necessary to perform high-throughput domain searches to gain evolutionary insight into the functions of proteins and protein families.

In this study we have cloned and characterized cinnamyl alcohol dehydrogenase (CAD) involved in phenylpropanoid pathway which can be utilized for biomass modification for improved saccharification efficiency. The full length gene CAD is of 4 kb containing four exons and three introns, among which the exon 1 and 2 of 88 and 116 bp were conserved with sorghum and CADs. The coding region of CAD was identified with 1098 bp open reading frame (ORF), for 365 amino acids.

Nudix (for nucleoside diphosphatases linked to other moieties, X) hydrolases are a diverse family of proteins capable of cleaving an enormous variety of substrates, ranging from nucleotide sugars to NAD-capped RNAs. Although all the members of this superfamily share a common conserved catalytic motif, the Nudix box, their substrate specificity lies in specific sequence traits, which give rise to different subfamilies. Among them, NADH pyrophosphatases or diphosphatases (NADDs) are poorly studied and nothing is known about their distribution.
