Abstract

Salmonella, an Enterobacteria is a therapeutically important pathogen for the host. The advancement of genome sequencing of S. enterica serovar Enteritidis have identified a distinct ROD9 pathogenic island, imparting virulence. The occurrence of 17 ROD9 hypothetical proteins, necessitates subsequent bioinformatics approach for structural and functional aspects of protein-protein relations or networks in different pathogenic phenotypes express. A collective analysis using predictive bioinformatics tools that includes NCBI-BLASTp and BLAST2GO annotated the motif patterns and functional significance. The VFDB identified 10 virulence proteins at both genomic and metagenomic level. Phylogenetic analysis revealed a divergent and convergent relationship between 17 ROD9 and 41 SP-1 proteins. Here, combining a comprehensive approach from sequence based, motif recognitions, domain identification, virulence ability to structural modelling provides a precise function to ROD9 proteins biological network, for which no experimental information is available.
