Comprehensive in-silico prediction of damage associated SNPs in Human Prolidase gene.

ABSTRACT: Prolidase is cytosolic manganese dependent exopeptidase responsible for the catabolism of imido di and tripeptides. Prolidase levels have been associated with a number of diseases such as bipolar disorder, erectile dysfunction and varied cancers. Single nucleotide polymorphism present in coding region of proteins (nsSNPs) has the potential to alter the primary structure as well as function of the protein. Hence, it becomes necessary to differentiate the potential harmful nsSNPs from the neutral ones. 19 nsSNPs were predicted as damaging by in-silico analysis of 298 nsSNPs retrieved from dbSNP database. Consurf analysis showed 18 out of 19 substitutions were present in the conserved regions. 4 substitutions (D276N, D287N, E412K, and G448R) that observed to have damaging effect are present i
