ABSTRACT

 

Mettaa MK, Tantravahib S, Daddam JR., Model simulation phylogenetics of erythropoietin expressed from cho cell line, Onl J Bioinform., 16(3): 318-326, 2015.  Erythropoietin (EPO), a ~30 kDa glycoprotein essential for erythropoiesis, has a highly conserved amino acid sequence between monkey and humans (~91% identity), and other animals. EPO binds and activates EPO receptors (EPO-R) on the surface of erythroid precursor cells. We modeled a 3D structure of EPO generated with 1CN4 as template with Modeller7v7 validated with Procheck and Verify 3D graph. After energy minimization, the 3D structure was compared with the template and 8 genes coding for EPO and its loci, were identified. Multiple alignment and phylogenetic analysis showed that the EPO family proteins fall into 4 branches. Mutations within the EPO domain region were identified.

 

KEY WORDS: Erythropoietin; Modeling; Molecular Dynamics; Validation; Phylogenetic analysis.
