| Abstract | ATP7B is a copper-transporting ATPase that plays a key role in the regulation of copper homeostasis. Mutations in the ATP7B gene are causative for Wilson’s disease, and recent reports have suggested that genetic variants are associated with susceptibility to Alzheimer’s disease. Unfortunately, it is difficult to profile experimentally novel genetic variants in the ATP7B gene, because the human protein X-ray structure is not yet entirely understood. In order to investigate ATP7B non-synonymous substitutions, we used an in silico amino acid sequence-based approach. Specifically, we analyzed 337 ATP7B non-synonymous substitutions, which included Wilson’s disease-causing mutations (DVs) and non Wilson’s disease-causing variants (NDVs), with an algorithm that estimated a combined probability (cPdel) of an amino acidic change to be deleterious for the protein function. This approach appeared to reliably indentify the probability of DVs and NDVs to be deleterious and to profile still unknown gene variants. Specifically, after analyzing ATP7B protein domains with the cPdel method, we found results in line with the predicted–modeled domains and some new suggestions. In conclusion, a functional survey of amino acid changes in the ATP7B protein is provided herein, and we suggest that this bioinformatic method can furnish information about novel ATP7B mutations. Furthermore, the same approach can be applied to other uncharacterized proteins. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
