    NRLiSt BDB, the Manually Curated Nuclear Receptors Ligands and Structures Benchmarking Database

    No full text
    Nuclear receptors (NRs) constitute an important class of drug targets. We created the most exhaustive NR-focused benchmarking database to date, the NRLiSt BDB (NRs ligands and structures benchmarking database). The 9905 compounds and 339 structures of the NRLiSt BDB are ready for structure-based and ligand-based virtual screening. In the present study, we detail the protocol used to generate the NRLiSt BDB and its features. We also give some examples of the errors that we found in ChEMBL that convinced us to manually review all original papers. Since extensive and manually curated experimental data about NR ligands and structures are provided in the NRLiSt BDB, it should become a powerful tool to assess the performance of virtual screening methods on NRs, to assist the understanding of NR’s function and modulation, and to support the discovery of new drugs targeting NRs. NRLiSt BDB is freely available online at http://nrlist.drugdesign.fr

    <p>Histogram of the number of SNPs that pass the significance criterion for this study using phenotype and SNP randomisations. These results provide us with a way to estimate the sensitivity of our study (diamond): it would be extremely unlikely for our eight independent findings to arise by chance alone (<i>p</i> = 0.001).</p

    List of the significant associations (<i>p</i> ≤ 0.05) with slow and non-progression.

    <p>(*) Note that rs3749971 is in linkage disequilibrium with rs3130350 and is therefore not considered an independent finding in our statistics (see text).</p><p>Alleles, allele frequencies (AF), positional data and genetic modes are provided with the results of the statistical inferences. Opposite signs for the β coefficients are required for an association to be replicated in the GRIV (non-progression) and ACS cohorts (time to AIDS93).</p

    IntroductionWe have reanalyzed the genomic data of the International Collaboration for the Genomics of HIV (ICGH), centering on HIV-1 Elite Controllers.MethodsWe performed a genome-wide Association Study comparing 543 HIV Elite Controllers with 3,272 uninfected controls of European descent. Using the latest database for imputation, we analyzed 35,552 Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms (SNPs) within the Major Histocompatibility Complex (MHC) region.ResultsOur analysis identified 2,626 SNPs significantly associated (pDiscussionThese findings suggest that additional molecular mechanisms beyond the conventional antigen-presenting role of class I HLA molecules may contribute to the observed influence of HLA-B*57:01/B*57:03 alleles on HIV-1 elite control.

    <p>The data from three databases are integrated to provide us with functional SNPs likely to be associated with changes in gene transcription in the tissue of interest. Using the SNAP Pairwise LD server, we only kept independent SNPs by removing superfluous SNPs that were in linkage disequilibrium (<i>r</i><sup>2</sup> ≥ 0.2). Among those SNPs, associations with slow and non-progression towards AIDS are sought and replicated. Randomisations are carried out in order to evaluate the statistical robustness of our results. Finally, the genetic associations are used to link progression to AIDS and gene expression in candidate genes.</p
