10 Integrated Servers for <strong>Structure</strong>-Informed <strong>Function</strong> Prediction 257Fig. 10.3 (a) The <strong>to</strong>p ProKnow functional predictions for PDB entry 2fck. The <strong>to</strong>p hit predicts,<strong>with</strong> high confidence, the protein <strong>to</strong> have N-acetyltransferase activity. (b) Master table of cluesused in each GO term prediction for 2fck. Clicking on any of the numbers in the table shows thedetails for the given clueall polar/charged, or a mixture of hydrophobic and polar/charged, and (c) residuesthat all make contact <strong>to</strong> a single hetero compound. ProKnow uses over 10,000RIGOR motifs; associated <strong>with</strong> each are the GO terms of the corresponding proteinchain.10.2.3 Sequence HomologyThe PSI-BLAST program (Altschul et al. 1997) is used for identifying proteins inthe UniProt/SWISS-PROT and UniProt/TrEMBL sequence databases that arehomologous <strong>to</strong> the target protein. Any matches that have GO annotations add theirfunctional clues <strong>to</strong> the pot.10.2.4 Sequence MotifsThe target protein’s sequence is then scanned for sequence motifs using thePROSITE database of functionally-associated motifs (Hulo et al. 2004). Again,each motif has a set of associated GO codes.
