BrainPalmSeq
收藏资源简介:
We developed a web-tool that enables interactive visualization of the expression patterns for these proteins in the nervous system (http://brainpalmseq.med.ubc.ca/), and explored this resource to find region and cell-type specific expression patterns that give insight into the function of palmitoylating and de-palmitoylating enzymes in the brain and neurological disorders. We found coordinated expression of ZDHHC enzymes with their accessory proteins, de-palmitoylating enzymes and other brain-expressed genes that included an enrichment of S-palmitoylation substrates.
本研究开发了一款网页工具,可实现神经系统内上述蛋白质表达模式的交互式可视化(访问网址:http://brainpalmseq.med.ubc.ca/);并依托该资源筛选得到具有区域及细胞类型特异性的表达模式,以此深入解析脑内棕榈酰化酶与去棕榈酰化酶的功能,以及其在神经系统疾病中的作用机制。本研究还发现,ZDHHC酶与其辅助蛋白、去棕榈酰化酶及其他脑表达基因存在协同表达现象,其中还富集了S-棕榈酰化底物。
