2 Sequence, function and structure relationships v Life is the ability to metabolize nutrients, respond to external stimuli, grow, reproduce and evolve v From a chemical point of view, proteins are linear hetero-polymers formed by amino acids (aa)
3 Sequence, function and structure relationships v Life is the ability to metabolize nutrients, respond to external stimuli, grow, reproduce and evolve v From a chemical point of view, proteins are linear hetero-polymers formed by amino acids (aa) v Proteins assume a 3D shape which is usually responsible for function v The consequence of the tight link between structure, function and evolutionary pressure distinguish proteins from ordinary polymers
4 Protein structure v v v v v The sequence of amino acids is called the primary structure Secondary structure refers to local folding Tertiary structure is the arrangement of secondary elements in 3D Quaternary structure describes the arrangement of a protein subunits The peptide bond is planar and the dihedral angle it defines is almost always 18
5 Protein structure v What is a dihedral angle? Is the angle between two planes. In practice, if you have four connected atoms and you want measure the dihedral angle around the central bond, you orient the system in such a way that the two central atoms are superimposed and measure the resulting angle between the first and last atom.

8 Protein structure v The simplest arrangements of aa is the alpha-helix, a right handed spiral conformation. v The structure repeats itself every 5.4 Å along the helix axis. v There are 3.6 aa per turn. O (n) - NH (n+4) H- bond
9 Protein structure v The beta sheet. v The R groups of neighboring residues in strand point in opposite directions. v There are parallel or anti-parallel beta sheets.

18 Protein structure Loops: regions without repetitive structure that connects secondary structure elements.
19 Protein structure Supersecondary elements (motifs): arrangements of two or three consecutive secondary structure that are present in many different protein structures, even with completely different sequences.
20 Protein structure Domains: portion of the polypeptide chain that folds into a compact semi-independent unit. v Class (C) Derived from secondary structure content is assigned automa<cally v Architecture (A) Describes the gross orienta<on of secondary structures, independent of connec<vity. v Topology (T) Clusters structures according to their topological connec<ons and numbers of secondary structures v Homologous superfamily (H)
21 Ala: transient interac<ons Thr, Ser: phosphoryla<on target: protein kinases anack phosphate group to the side- chain. Gly: unusual ramachandran, o?en found in turns Thr: Beta- branched more o?en found in beta- sheets. Cys: Very reac<ve, coordinate metals.
22 The problem of protein folding What is protein fold: v Compact, globular folding arrangement of the polypeptide chain v Chain folds to optimize packing of the hydrophobic residues in the interior core of the protein Thermodynamics: ΔG = ΔH TΔS

24 The problem of protein folding What is protein fold: v Compact, globular folding arrangement of the polypeptide chain v Chain folds to optimize packing of the hydrophobic residues in the interior core of the protein Thermodynamics: ΔG = ΔH TΔS (i.e. stability of a given conformation) Enthalpy: electrostatics, dispersion, van der Waals, H-bonds. Entropy: water molecules form ordered cages around hydrophobic amino acids. The protein folding process breaks this order. The free energy of folding of a protein is of the order of few kcal/mol
25 The problem of protein folding v Anfinsen s dogma: (at least for small globular proteins) the native structure is determined only by the protein's amino acid sequence
26 The problem of protein folding v Anfinsen s dogma: (at least for small globular proteins) the native structure is determined only by the protein's amino acid sequence v Levinthal paradox: because of the very large number of degrees of freedom in an unfolded polypeptide chain, the molecule has an astronomical number of possible conformations

33 The comparative modeling principle
34 Evolutionary-based methods for protein structure prediction v Proteins evolved from a common ancestor maintain similar core 3D structures We can use protein of known structure (templates) to model protein of unknown 3D structure (targets) by starting from the sequence This can be done if the templates and the target are evolutionarily correlated

37 Why Protein Structure Prediction? We have an experimentally determined atomic structure for only ~1% of the known protein sequences
38 Why Protein Structure Prediction? Growth in the number of unique folds per year in the PDB based on the SCOP data base from 1986 to 27

52 How does it works?
53 1. Align sequence with structures v First, must determine the template structures Simplistically, try to align the target sequence against every known structure s sequence. In practice, this is too slow, so heuristics are used (e.g. BLAST) Profile or HMM searches are generally more sensitive in difficult cases (Modeller s profile.build method, PSI-BLAST or HHpred) Could also use threading or other web servers v Remember to look at:

In practice, this is too slow, so heuristics are used (e.g. BLAST) Profile or HMM searches are generally more sensitive in difficult cases (Modeller s profile.build method, PSI-BLAST or HHpred) Could also use threading or other web servers v Remember to look at: Sequence identity/similarity between the putative template(s) and the target Experimental method, resolution and completeness of the template(s) Other compounds bound to the template(s) Oligomerization state
55 1. Align sequence with structures v Alignment to templates Sequence-sequence: relies purely on a matrix of observed residue-residue mutation probabilities ( align ) Sequence-structure: gap insertion is penalized within secondary structure (helices etc.) ( align2d ) Other features, profile-profile, and/or user-defined ( salign ) or use an external program v Remember: An error in the alignment is always a fatal error for the whole modeling procedure! One amino acid sequence plays coy; a pair of homologous sequences whisper; many aligned sequences shout out loud (A.M. Lesk, Introduction to Bioinformatics, 22)
56 1. Align sequence with structures v Evaluation of sequence alignment quality E. Krieger, S.B. Nabuurs, G. Vriend: Homology modeling. In Structural Bioinforma<cs. P.E. Bourne and H. Weissig Eds. (23).
57 2. Extract spatial restraints v Spatial restraints incorporate homology information, statistical preferences, and physical knowledge Template Cα- Cα internal distances Backbone dihedrals (φ/ψ) Sidechain dihedrals given residue type of both target and template Force field stereochemistry (bond, angle, dihedral) Statistical potentials Other experimental constraints Etc.
58 3. Satisfy spatial restraints v Satisfaction of spatial restraints Represent system at appropriate level(s) of resolution (e.g. atoms, residues, domains, proteins) Convert each data source into spatial restraints (e.g. harmonic distance simulates using spring ) Sum all restraints into a scoring function Generate models that are consistent with all restraints by optimizing the scoring function (e.g. conjugate gradients, molecular dynamics, Monte Carlo)
59 3. Satisfy spatial restraints v All information is combined into a single objective function Force field (CHARMM 22) simply added in Function is optimized by conjugate gradients and simulated annealing molecular dynamics, starting from the target sequence threaded onto template structure(s) Multiple models are generally recommended best model or cluster or models chosen by simply taking the lowest objective function score, or using a model assessment method such as Modeller s own DOPE or GA341, or external programs such as PROSA or DFIRE
60 4. Assess results
61 4. Assess results v How do we know if the model is a good one? Check log file for restraint violations and Modeller score (molpdf) (not reliable since the scoring function is not perfect!) Use another assessment score on the final model Ø Statistical Potential: GA341, DOPE, QMEAN Ø Other programs (e.g. Prosa, Verify3D..) Use structure assessment programs (e.g. ProCheck) Fit the model to some other experimental data not used in the modeling procedure

70 Model refining v Loop optimization Often, there are parts of the sequence which have no detectable templates Mini folding problem these loops must be sampled to get improved conformations Database searches only complete for 4-6 residue loops Modeller uses conformational search with a custom energy function optimized for loop modeling (statistical potential derived from PDB) Ø Fiser/Melo protocol ( loopmodel ) Ø Newer DOPE + GB/SA protocol ( dope_loopmodel )
71 Model refining v Accuracy of loop models as a function of amount of optimization
72 Model refining v Fraction of loops modeled with medium accuracy (<2Å)
73 Advanced topics v Modeller can also Perform more sensitive searches for templates (sequence-profile, profile-profile, similar to PSI-BLAST) Incorporate ligands, RNA/DNA and water molecules into built models Build structures of multi-chain proteins (homo or hetero) Add extra restraints to the modeling process (such as known distances, e.g. from FRET) Use multiple templates to build a model v Remember:

If you know your template (e.g. from BLAST) just format the alignment for Modeller and skip straight to the model building step!
75 Hidden Markov Models A dishonest croupier could use a dice that has a higher probability of landing on a 6, (e.g., 5%). To avoid being caught, the croupier can switch from a fair die to a loaded die with a certain frequency. For example, he can change the die from fair to loaded after 2 rolls and from loaded to fair after 1 rolls. v Likelihood evaluation Given a series of emissions X1, X2, X3 Which is the probability that our model had emitted the observed sequence? v Alignment. Given the sequence of observed emissions: which is the sequence of hidden states that generated it? v Training: How can we optimize the statistical parameters in order to maximize probabilities 1 and 2? 42
76 Hidden Markov Models: Protein Structural Bioinformatics In structure prediction, models can best be thought of as sequence generators (e.g., Hidden Markov Models) or sequence classifiers (e.g., Neural Networks) v Likelihood evaluation Performed using dynamic programming algorithms (similar to the ones used in sequence alignments) v Alignment Thus, given a model and a sequence we want to determine the probability of any specific (query) sequence having been generated by the model in any of each possible paths. v Training The model is trained by aligning protein families. 43
77 Hidden Markov Models v Described by ü A set of possible states: match, insert, deletion. ü A set of possible observations: frequencies of aa in each position. ü A transition probability matrix ü An emission probability matrix (frequencies of aa occurring in a particular state). ü Initial state probabilities. 44
