Funded Activity Summary

Understanding prokaryotic small proteins from context. Prokaryotic small proteins are increasingly recognised to play important biological roles but have been largely overlooked due to the lack of adequate tools to study them. This project aims to develop new methods to identify and predict the functions of small proteins from microbial communities by studying sequence patterns in their genomes. These predicted functions will be confirmed in the laboratory, leading to a catalogue of newly characterised small proteins from a diverse range of habitats and geographies. By creating new ways to study the role of small proteins in the global microbiome, we will provide the foundational knowledge required to leverage these proteins for use in biotechnology.
