| description |
The ability of Streptococcus pneumoniae
to induce infection relies on its virulence factor machinery. A previous study has
identified essential proteins that might be responsible towards the pathogenicity of S. pneumoniae serotype 2 strain D39. How
ever, 39
of them were yet functionally and stru
cturally uncharacterized. Thus, by using in silico approach, this study aims to annotate the
function and the structure of these unannotated proteins. Initially, all 39 targeted proteins went through primary screening
for template
availability and pathogen
icity. From there, 11 of them were selected and were further analyzed on the basis of their physicochemical,
functional and structural categorization using an integrated bioinformatics approach by means of amino acid sequence and stru
cture
-
based analysi
s.
The obtained data suggested that all targeted proteins showed high possibility to be involved in either cell viability or
cell pathogenicity mechanism of the bacterium, with SPD_1333 and SPD_1743 being the two most promising proteins to be further
studied.
Findings from this study could provide a better understanding of the pathogenic ability of this microorganism and thus,
enhance drug development and target identification processes in the aim of improving pneumococcal disease control. |
