Thus far, several prediction methods have been reported, but there are some deficiencies in prediction accuracy and adaptability in these methods. In this paper, a method based on discrete wavelet transform （DWT） was developed to predict the TMHs. Two sets of test data sets containing total 60 protein sequences were utilized to access the effect of the method. Compared with the prediction results of TMHMM2.0 and MEMSAT, the obtained results indicate that the presented method has high prediction accuracy.展开更多

Methods The transcriptional regulation of rovA by PhoP or via temperature upshift, and that of pla by CRP were investigated when Y. pestis was cultured in BHI. After cultivation under 26 ~C, and with temperature shifting from 26 to 37 ~C, the wild-type （WT） strain or its phoP or crp null mutant （AphoP or Acrp, respectively） was subject to RNA isolation, and then the promoter activity of rovA or plo in the above strains was detected by the primer extension assay. The rovA promoter-proximal region was cloned into the pRW50 containing a promoterless lacZ gene. The recombinant LacZ reporter plasmid was transformed into WT and AphoP to measure the promoter activity of rovA in these two strains with the ^-Galactosidase enzyme assay system. Results When Y. pestis was cultured in BHI, the transcription of rovA was inhibited by PhoP and upon temperature upshift while that ofpla was stimulated by CRP. Conclusion The rich BHI medium without the need for modification to be introduced into the relevant stimulating conditions （which are essential to triggering relevant gene regulatory cascades）, can be used in lieu of synthetic TMH media to cultivate Y. pestis for gene regulation studies.展开更多

The prediction of the amount and position for the transmembrane protein helical segments (TMHs) is the hot spot in bioinformatics. In this paper, a new approach, maximum spectrum of continuous wavelet transform (MSCWT), is proposed to predict TMHs. The predictions for eight SARS-CoV membrane proteins indicate that MSCWT has the same capacity with software TMpred. Moreover, the test on a dataset of 131 structure-known proteins with 548 TMHs shows that the predic-tion accuracy of MSCWT for TMHs is 91.6% and that for membrane protein is 89.3%.展开更多
