2.3.6 ǀ Domains architectures, linear motifs, protein interactions and biding sites
Domains compositions of cpOAS1 were predicted in Pfam (version 34.0), InterPro (version 85.0) and SMART (Simple Modular Architecture Research Tool)57 database. Linear motif and functional characterization were done using the eukaryotic linear motif (ELM) prediction tools. Proteins that interact with caprine OAS1 were predicted by the String (Version 11.0) program (http://string-db.org) and the cpOAS1 sequence was used to search against the Ovis aries organism and the confidence score was set to high (0.700). Different metal biding, active and NTP binding sites were predicted by the InterPro database.
