Cytochrome P450 pattern revision.

The pattern suggested for the structure-function superfamily of cytochromes P450 is composed by combining the conserved amino acid motifs. The sizes of P450 cytochromes were estimated according to their length. The empirical coefficients reflecting the peculiarities of the primary structure of these enzymes are calculated. We propose an approach for determining novel proteins sequences to the mentioned superfamily on the ground of the complex of these parameters. A number of the hypothetical proteins from the international databases is related to the cytochromes P450 by means of our pattern.

Hypothetical 92.3-kD human protein homologous to angiotensin-converting enzyme: a new member of the zinc metalloprotease family?

Significant identity between a hypothetical 92.3-kD human protein and angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE; peptidyl-dipeptidase A; kininase II) has been found. Certain specific regions of the 92.3-kD protein indicate that this unidentified molecule may be a member of the zinc metalloprotease family. A method is suggested for determination of a structural and functional family of proteins with unknown structure and function.
