Structural heterogeneity assessment among the isoforms of fungal 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid (ACC) deaminase: a comparative in silico perspective.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The primary amino acid sequence of a protein is a translated version from its gene sequence which carries important messages and information concealed therein. The present study unveils the structure-function and evolutionary aspects of 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid deaminase (ACCD) proteins of fungal origin. ACCD, an important plant growth-promoting microbial enzyme, is less frequent in fungi compared to bacteria. Hence, an inclusive understanding of fungal ACC deaminases (fACCD) has brought forth here.

Results

In silico investigation of 40 fACCD proteins recovered from NCBI database reveals that fACCD are prevalent in Colletotrichum (25%), Fusarium (15%), and Trichoderma (10%). The fACCD were found 16.18-82.47 kDa proteins having 149-750 amino acid resid
