3 Similarity Searches on Sequence Databases In the game of Mahjong Titans, you want to find the same symbol from a collection of symbols a certain one. What you can do is to compare the symbol with every one, with your eyes. 3
4 Similarity Searches on Sequence Databases For a protein or DNA sequence, similarity search means finding a similar one from a collection of sequences a query sequence. BLAST > 100,000 4
5 The Importance of Similarity Similar sequences often derive from a common ancestral sequence. They probably share similar structure and biological function. You can infer something you know about a particular DNA or protein sequence to all similar DNA or protein sequences. Similar structures Similar functions Similar sequences 5
6 The Importance of Similarity Similar sequences often derive from a common ancestral sequence. They probably share similar structure and biological function. You can infer something you know about a particular DNA or protein sequence to all similar DNA or protein sequences. Similar structure? Similar function? Brothers? 6
7 Identity and Similarity Residue: a letter; an amino acid in a protein; a base in a nucleotide. Identity: If two sequences (protein or DNA) have the same length, the identity between them is defined as the percent of identical residues relative to their length. Similarity: If two sequences (protein or DNA) have the same length, the similarity between them is defined as the percent of identical and similar residues relative to their length. My name is Lampy. Similar or not: defined by a matrix, such as BLOSUM. 7
8 Identity and Similarity Residue: a letter; an amino acid in a protein; a base in a nucleotide. Identity: If two sequences (protein or DNA) have the same length, the identity between them is defined as the percent of identical residues relative to their length. Similarity: If two sequences (protein or DNA) have the same length, the similarity between them is defined as the percent of identical and similar residues relative to their length. Similar or not: defined by a matrix, such as BLOSUM. seq 1 : CLHK seq 2 : CIHL Identity = 2/4 = 50% Similarity = 3/4 = 75% Identical similar seq 1 : C L H K seq 2 : C I H L seq 1 : C L H K seq 2 : C I H L 8
9 Identity and Similarity Residue: a letter; an amino acid in a protein; a base in a nucleotide. Identity: If two sequences (protein or DNA) have the same length, the identity between them is defined as the percent of identical residues relative to their length. Similarity: If two sequences (protein or DNA) have the same length, the similarity between them is defined as the percent of similar residues relative to their length. Who and who are similar, who and who not? They are defined by a matrix, such as BLOSUM. What happens when two sequences have different lengths? seq 1 : CLHKA seq 2 : CIHL Identity? Similarity? 9
10 Identity and Similarity Homologous: In general, if two protein sequences have an identity > 25%, or two DNA sequences have an identity > 70%, they can be regarded as homologous. Nothing is sure about the meaning of observed similarity. Some protein sequences are less than 15% identical, but they have the same 3D structure, while some are 25% identical, but they have different structures. Homology or non-homology is never granted. The 25% cutoff is mostly a common-sense indicator. In most cases, to make sure whether two sequences are true homologous, you need to consider many other things. Homology is a binary relationship: yes or no; similarity or identity is a quantifiable property: 0%-100%. 10
11 The Most Popular Search Tool: BLAST BLAST (Basic Local Alignment Search Tool) A sequence comparison algorithm optimized speed used to search sequence databases optimal local alignments to a query. Different kinds of BLAST (according to the query): BLASTn: Search a nucleotide database using a nucleotide query. BLASTp: Search protein database using a protein query. BLASTx: Search protein database using a translated nucleotide query. tblastn: Search translated nucleotide database using a protein query. tblastx: Search translated nucleotide database using a translated nucleotide query. 11

24 English Courses Upgraded BLAST: PSI-BLAST Sometimes the standard BLAST is not enough. For instance, you want to catch all the members of a very large protein family, starting with one sequence that you have. When running BLAST, you catch only the most closely related sequences. The other distant members would not be found. In other words, you find your direct friends, but the friends of your friends are missing. PSI (Position-Specific Iterated)-BLAST first looks sequences that are closely related to yours; and then, gradually, it extends the circle of friends to include sequences that are distantly related. - How does PSI-BLAST extend the circle of friends? - A Position-Specific Weight Matrix and Iterations. 24
25 English Courses Position-Specific Weight Matrix A Position-Specific Weight Matrix describes the letter distribution of each position (column) a family of sequences. The distributions can be presented as probabilities or other statistic values. Seq1: A B C D Seq2: B B C D Seq3: A C C D Seq4: A B D D A 75% B 25% 75% 0 0 C 0 25% 75% 0 D % 100% 25
26 English Courses Upgraded BLAST: PSI-BLAST For the query sequence ABCD, the first round of search (first iteration) of PSI-BLAST is just like BLAST. All closely related sequences BBCD, ACCD and ABDD that have one different letter are found, but BCCD that has two different residues is missing. Then, a Position-Specific Weight Matrix is made ABCD, BBCD, ACCD and ABDD. This matrix is used in the second round of search (second iteration). Since BCCD matches the matrix, now it is found. And then, a second matrix is made ABCD, BBCD, ACCD, ABDD and BCCD. And then new sequences will be found. Iterations PSI-BLAST can detect distant evolutionary relationships, especially when the proteins returned by the first round of search are all hypothetical proteins, unknown proteins or predicted proteins.

34 Comparing Two Sequences can help you to Convince yourself that two sequences are in fact homologous; Find out that your sequences share a domain; Identify the exact location of common features, such as disulfide bridges or catalytic active sites. English Courses English Courses Domain: a structural and functional unit in a protein. single-domain protein multiple-domain protein 34
35 English Courses Comparing Two Sequences: Dot plot Methods: dot plot, global/local alignment Dot plot is the simplest means of comparing two sequences. In fact, dot plot is the only type you can do with pencil and paper, without computer. Advantages: no biological hypothesis required; results can be analyzed with your eyes.

42 Use Dot Plot to detect tandem repeats in a sequence. Tandem repeat: two or more repeated units directly adjacent to each other. Example: CCCABCABCABCDDD English Courses English Courses Comparing Two Sequences: Dot plot Dot plot servers: Dotlet They are often used by evolution to create new proteins or make them function more efficiently. Short Tandem Repeat (STR) in DNA describes a pattern that helps determine an individual's inherited traits. A short tandem repeat polymorphism (STRP) occurs when homologous STR loci differ in the number of repeats between individuals. By identifying repeats of a specific sequence at specific locations in the genome, it is possible to create a genetic profile of an individual. There are currently over 10,000 published STR sequences in the human genome. STR analysis has become the prevalent analysis method determining genetic profiles in ensic cases. 42

48 English Courses Comparing Two Sequences: Alignment An alignment is an arrangement of two protein or DNA sequences to identify regions of similarity that may be a consequence of functional, structural, or evolutionary relationships between the sequences. Global alignment is most useful when the two sequences are similar and of roughly equal size. Local alignment is more useful dissimilar sequences that are suspected to contain segments of similarity. 48
49 English Courses Comparing Two Sequences: Alignment A substitution matrix BLOSUM62 gives a score every pair of amino acids, defining what is similar and how similar. 49
50 Usages of global alignment: Checking minor differences between two sequences. Analyzing polymorphisms between closely related sequences. Comparing two sequences that partly overlap. Usages of local alignment: English Courses English Courses Comparing Two Sequences: Alignment Comparing two distantly related sequences that share only a few noncontiguous domains. Analyzing repeated elements within a single sequence. 50

56 Identity and Similarity English Courses English Courses Residue: a letter; an amino acid in a protein; a base in a DNA. Identity: If two sequences (protein or DNA) have the same length, the identity between them is defined as the percent of identical residues relative to their length. Similarity: If two sequences (protein or DNA) have the same length, the similarity between them is defined as the percent of similar residues (including identical residues) relative to their length. Who and who are similar, who and who not? They are defined by a matrix, such as BLOSUM. What happens when two sequences have different lengths? seq 1 : CVHKA seq 2 : CIHL Identity? Similarity? So far, we can define them sequences with different lengths with the help of global alignment. 56

76 English Courses Multiple Sequence Alignment A multiple sequence alignment (MSA) is a global sequence alignment of three or more sequences. 76
77 English Courses Multiple Sequence Alignment 4 main criteria building a multiple sequence alignment : Structural similarity - Amino acids that play the same role in each structure are expected in the same column. This is very difficult; only structure-superimposition programs can satisfy this criterion. Evolutionary similarity - Amino acids in the common ancestor of all the sequences are put in the same column. Indeed, no automatic program exactly uses this criterion, but they all try to respect it. Functional similarity - Amino acids with the same function are in the same column. Also, no automatic program exactly uses this criterion, but if the inmation is available, you can edit your alignment manually. Sequence similarity - Amino acids in the same column are those that yield an alignment with maximum similarity. Most programs take this, because it is the easiest criterion. 77
78 Multiple Sequence Alignment Main applications of MSA: English Courses English Courses 1. Extrapolation: whether an uncharacterized sequence is really a member of a protein family. 2. Phylogenetic analysis: the phylogenetic tree of aligned sequences can be reconstructed. 3. Pattern identification: very conserved positions with a certain function can be sent to generate sequence pattern or sequence logo. 4. Domain identification: to turn an MSA into a profile (position-specific weight matrix) that describes a protein domain. 78
79 Multiple Sequence Alignment Main applications of MSA: English Courses English Courses 5. DNA regulatory elements: to turn a DNA MSA of a binding site into a profile and scan other DNA sequences potential binding sites. 6. Structure prediction: to predict protein/rna secondary structures by similarity. 7. nssnp analysis: MSA can help you predict whether a non-synonymous single-nucleotide polymorphism is likely to be harmful. 8. PCR analysis: a good multiple alignment can help you identify the less degenerated portions of a protein family, in order to fish out new members by PCR (polymerase chain reaction). 79
80 English Courses Choosing the Right Sequences MSA is not an arbitrary group of sequences. Instead, the sequences should be members of the same protein family, and they all share a common ancestor. 80
81 Choosing the Right Sequences Naming sequences in the right way: Never use white spaces in your sequence names. Use the underline (_) to replace spaces. e.g. My Seq 1 My_Seq_1 Do not use special symbols. (such as Chinese #, &, ^ etc.). e.g. 我的序列壹 English Courses English Courses Seq1@li.com Never use names longer than 15 characters. e.g. This_is_my_favorite_sequence_about_mouse Never give the same name to two different sequences in your set. If you don t obey these naming rules, some MSA programs may automatically change the name of your sequences, without telling you. 81
82 English Courses Choosing the Right Sequences Choosing the right number of sequences: start with a relatively small number of sequence (10-15) increase its size, after you get something interesting happening with this small set. In any case, it s hard to see any reason generating a MSA with > 50 sequences. If you start with hundreds of sequences, you immediately hit troubles: Computing big alignments is difficult. Building big alignments is difficult. Displaying big alignments is difficult. Using big alignments is difficult. Making accurate big alignments is difficult. 82

113 Searching conserved patterns Sequence Logos: WebLogo English Courses English Courses Sequence logos - are a graphical representation of an amino acid or nucleic acid multiple sequence alignment developed by Tom Schneider and Mike Stephens. Each logo consists of stacks of symbols, one stack each position in the sequence. The overall height of the stack indicates the sequence conservation at that position, while the height of symbols within the stack indicates the relative frequency of each amino or nucleic acid at that position. In general, a sequence logo provides a richer and precise description of, example, a binding site. 113

119 Searching conserved patterns Sequence Motif - a nucleotide or amino-acid sequence pattern that is widespread and has a biological significance. Example: N-glycosylation site motif English Courses English Courses Sequence Motifs: MEME Asn, followed by anything but Pro, followed by either Ser or Thr, followed by anything but Pro This pattern can be written as N{P}[ST]{P}(Regular expression), where N=Asn, P=Pro, S=Ser, T=Thr; {X} means any amino acid except X; and [XY] means either X or Y. The notation [XY] does not give any indication of the probability of X or Y occurring in the pattern. Observed probabilities can be graphically represented using sequence logos. 119

130 Editing and Publishing Alignments For editing and publishing a multiple sequence alignment, bioinmaticans have developed text editors that are specific multiple sequence alignment. They make it easy you to see exactly what s going on. Most of these editors require the installation of something on your computer. However, if you want to stick to your browser, you can use Jalview. Jalview is a Java applet that you need only load into your Web browser instant action. Home page : English Courses English Courses Do not load confidential sequences! Web interface is NOT secure
