In silico analysis of onion chitinases using transcriptome data.
Bioinformation 2018
Chitinases are glycoside hydrolase (GH) family of proteins having multifaceted roles in plants. It is of interest to identify and characterize chitinase-encoding genes from the popular bulbous plant onion ( Allium cepa L.). We have used the EST sequences for onion chitinases to elucidate its functional features using sequence, structure and functional analysis. These contigs belong to the GH19 chitinases family according to domain architecture analysis. They have highly conserved chitinase motifs including motifs exclusive to plant chitinases as implied using the MEME based structural characterization. Estimation of biochemical properties suggested that these proteins have features to form stable and hydrophilic proteins capable of localizing extracellular and in vacuoles. Further, they have multiple cellular processes including defense role as inferred by DeepGO function prediction. Phylogenetic analysis grouped them as class I and class VII plant chitinase, with possible abundance of class I chitinase in onion. These observations help in the isolation and functional validation of onion chitinases.
