Receptor tyrosine kinases (RTKs) form a highly important group of protein receptors of the eukaryotic cell membrane. They control many vital cellular functions and are involved in the regulation of complex signaling networks. Mutations in RTKs have been associated with different types of cancers and other diseases. Although they are very important for proper cell function, they have been experimentally studied in a limited range of eukaryotic species. Currently, there is no available database for RTKs providing information about their function, expression, and interactions. Therefore, the identification of RTKs in multiple organisms, the documentation of their characteristics, and the collection of related information would be very useful. In this paper, we present a novel RTK detection pipeline (RTK-PRED) and the Receptor Tyrosine Kinases Database (TyReK-DB). RTK-PRED combines profile HMMs with transmembrane topology prediction to identify and classify potential RTKs. Proteins of all eukaryotic reference proteomes of the UniProt database were used as input in RTK-PRED leading to a filtered dataset of 20,478 RTKs. Based on the information collected for these RTKs from multiple databases, the relational TyReK database was created. |
