StruNHEJ

A structural database of mutations in NHEJ repair leading to cancer and their molecular consequences

Features
StruNHEJ contains a comprehensive catalogue of XRCC4 , DNA PKcs , KU and LIG4 unique variants and holds a diverse range of information, which includes :
  • Predicting structural and functional consequences of missense variants in NHEJ using the mCSM suite of tools.
  • Interactive 3D viewer of the crystal structure of the proteins and Lollipop Plots of Variation illustrated within Pfam domains
  • In silico pathogenicity predictions from PolyPhen-2, MTR, and SNAP2, and PROVEAN.
  • Integrated data of variants in all the structures of the principal components of the NHEJ system- DNA-Lig IV, DNA-PKcs, Ku70/80 and XRCC4 ,in an in silico saturation mutagenesis fashion.
  • Novel pathogenicity predictions of missense variants using different machine-learning classification models trained on features generated by the mCSM platform.
  • Interactive plots comparing all variant annotation and metadata variables.
  • Interactive 3D viewer for analysing the interatomic interactions of variant residues within the 3D crystal structure of the proteins using theArpeggio tool.
