Abstract
Background
Staphylococcus aureus is a gram-positive spherical bacteria and the most common cause of nosocomial infections in the world. Given its clinical significance, the genome sequence of S. aureus has been elucidated to enhance our comprehension of its lifestyle and pathogenicity. The research aimed to summarize a potential hypothetical protein that may play an important role in S. aureus virulence and pathogenicity, covering its anticipated structure, probable biological functions, and importance in this context.
Results
A hypothetical protein, YP_498675.1 with 281 amino acid residues of S. aureus, was chosen for analysis and modeling by several bioinformatics tools and databases in this work. According to primary and secondary structure analyses, YP_498675.1 is a stable hydrophilic protein with a significant proportion of α–helices. Subcellular localization predictions by CELLO, PSORTb, and SOSUI server indicate that it is a cytoplasmic protein. NCBI-CDD, Pfam, and InterProScan functional genomics research revealed that the hypothetical protein may include the pyridoxal phosphate (PLP)-dependent 2, 3-diaminopropionate biosynthesis protein SbnA domain. In the homology modeling method, the HHpred server was employed to create its 3D structure using the template structure of a Staphyloferrin B precursor biosynthetic enzyme SbnA bound to PLP (PDB ID: 5D84_A), an X-ray diffraction model having 100% sequence identity with the hypothetical protein. After energy minimization, several quality assessments and validation factors determined that the generated protein model was reliable and of reasonable quality.
Conclusion
The present study has characterized and functionally annotated the hypothetical protein YP_498675.1 of S. aureus. Further experimental validation would aid in determining the actual function of YP_498675.1 as well as confirm the protein’s value as a therapeutic target.
