The reason for “bioinformatics” to exist ?

• empirical finding: if two biological sequences are sufficiently similar, almost invariably they have similar biological functions and will be descended from a common ancestor.

• (i) function is encoded into sequence, this means: the sequence provides the syntax and

• (ii) there is a redundancy in the encoding, many positions in the sequence may be changed without perceptible changes in the function, thus the semantics of the encoding is robust.

• Proteins perform a variety of cellular tasks in the living cells

• Each protein adopts a particular folding that determines its function

• The 3D structure of a protein can bring into close proximity residues that are far apart in the amino acid sequence

• Catalytic site: Business End of the molecule

Why protein structure ?

Page 9: Bioinformatica t7-protein structure

Rationale for understanding protein structure and function

Protein sequence

-large numbers of sequences, including whole genomes

Protein function

- rational drug design and treatment of disease- protein and genetic engineering- build networks to model cellular pathways- study organismal function and evolution

?

structure determination structure prediction

homologyrational mutagenesisbiochemical analysis

model studies

Protein structure

- three dimensional- complicated- mediates function

Page 10: Bioinformatica t7-protein structure

About the use of protein models (Peitch)

• Structure is preserved under evolution when sequence is not – Interpreting the impact of mutations/SNPs and conserved

residues on protein function. Potential link to disease• Function ?

– Biochemical: the chemical interactions occerring in a protein– Biological: role within the cell– Phenotypic: the role in the organism

• Gene Ontology functional classification !– Priorisation of residues to mutate to determine protein

function– Providing hints for protein function:Catalytic mechanisms

of enzymes often require key residues to be close together in 3D space

– (protein-ligand complexes, rational drug design, putative interaction interfaces)

Protein Conformation

• Christian AnfinsenStudies on reversible denaturation “Sequence specifies conformation”

• Chaperones and disulfideinterchange enzymes:involved but not controlling final state, they provide environment to refold if misfolded

• Structure implies function: The amino acid sequence encodes the protein’s structural information

Page 14: Bioinformatica t7-protein structure

• by itself:– Anfinsen had developed what he called his

"thermodynamic hypothesis" of protein folding to explain the native conformation of amino acid structures. He theorized that the native or natural conformation occurs because this particular shape is thermodynamically the most stable in the intracellular environment. That is, it takes this shape as a result of the constraints of the peptide bonds as modified by the other chemical and physical properties of the amino acids.

– To test this hypothesis, Anfinsen unfolded the RNase enzyme under extreme chemical conditions and observed that the enzyme's amino acid structure refolded spontaneously back into its original form when he returned the chemical environment to natural cellular conditions.

– "The native conformation is determined by the totality of interatomic interactions and hence by the amino acid sequence, in a given environment."

• Proteins are linear heteropolymers: one or more polypeptide chains

• Below about 40 residues the term peptide is frequently used.

• A certain number of residues is necessary to perform a particular biochemical function, and around 40-50 residues appears to be the lower limit for a functional domain size.

• Protein sizes range from this lower limit to several hundred residues in multi-functional proteins.

• Three-dimentional shapes (folds) adopted vary enormously

• Experimental methods:– X-ray crystallography– NMR (nuclear magnetic resonance)– Electron microscopy– Ab initio calculations …

The Basics

The basic structure of an a-amino acid is quite simple. R denotes any one of the 20 possible side chains (see table below). We notice that the Ca-atom has 4 different ligands (the H is omitted in the drawing) and is thus chiral. An easy trick to remember the correct L-form is the CORN-rule: when the Ca-atom is viewed with the H in front, the residues read "CO-R-N" in a clockwise direction.

The alpha-helix

Page 30: Bioinformatica t7-protein structure

• Residues with hydrophobic properties conserved at i, i+2, i+4 separated by unconserved or hydrophilic residues suggest surface beta- strands.

· A short run of hydrophobic amino acids (4 residues) suggests a buried beta-strand.

· Pairs of conserved hydrophobic amino acids separated by pairs of unconserved, or hydrophilic residues suggests an alfa-helix with one face packing in the protein core. Likewise, an i, i+3, i+4, i+7 pattern of conserved hydrophobic residues.

Calculation of preference parameters

preference for the specific secondary structure.• Preference parameter = 1.0 specific residue does not

have a preference for, nor dislikes the specific secondary structure.

• Preference parameter < 1.0 specific residue dislikes the specific secondary structure.

Applying algorithm1. Assign parameters to residue.2. Identify regions where 4 out of 6 residues have P(a)>100: a-helix. Extend

helix in both directions until four contiguous residues have an average P(a)<100: end of a-helix. If segment is longer than 5 residues and P(a)>P(b): a-helix.

3. Repeat this procedure to locate all of the helical regions. 4. Identify regions where 3 out of 5 residues have P(b)>100: b-sheet. Extend

sheet in both directions until four contiguous residues have an average P(b)<100: end of b-sheet. If P(b)>105 and P(b)>P(a): a-helix.

5. Rest: P(a)>P(b) a-helix. P(b)>P(a) b-sheet.6. To identify a bend at residue number i, calculate the following value:

p(t) = f(i)f(i+1)f(i+2)f(i+3)

If: (1) p(t) > 0.000075; (2) average P(t)>1.00 in the tetrapeptide; and (3) averages for tetrapeptide obey P(a)<P(t)>P(b): b-turn.

• X-ray crystallography is an experimental technique that exploits the fact that X-rays are diffracted by crystals.

• X-rays have the proper wavelength (in the Ångström range, ~10-8 cm)  to be scattered by the electron cloud of an atom of comparable size.

• Based on the diffraction pattern obtained from X-ray scattering off the periodic assembly of molecules or atoms in the crystal, the electron density can be reconstructed.

• A model is then progressively built into the experimental electron density, refined against the data and the result is a quite accurate molecular structure.

What is X-ray Crystallography

Page 62: Bioinformatica t7-protein structure

• NMR uses protein in solution– Can look at the dynamic properties of the protein structure– Can look at the interactions between the protein and ligands,

substrates or other proteins– Can look at protein folding– Sample is not damaged in any way– The maximum size of a protein for NMR structure determination is ~30

kDa.This elliminates ~50% of all proteins– High solubility is a requirement

• X-ray crystallography uses protein crystals– No size limit: As long as you can crystallise it– Solubility requirement is less stringent– Simple definition of resolution– Direct calculation from data to electron density and back again– Crystallisation is the process bottleneck, Binary (all or nothing)– Phase problem Relies on heavy atom soaks or SeMet incorporation

• Both techniques require large amounts of pure protein and require expensive equipment!

• Finding a structural homologue• Blast

–versus PDB database or PSI-blast (E<0.005)

–Domain coverage at least 60%• Avoid Gaps

–Choose for few gaps and reasonable similarity scores instead of lots of gaps and high similarity scores

Modeling

Page 76: Bioinformatica t7-protein structure

• Extract “template” sequences and align with query

• Whatch out for missing data (PDB file) and complement with additonal templates

• Try to get as much information as possible, X/NMR

• Sequence alignment from structure comparson of templates (SSA) can be different from a simple sequence aligment

• >40% identity, any aligment method is OK• <40%, checks are essential

– Residue conservation checks in functional regions (patterns/motifs)– Indels: combine gaps separted by few resides– Manual editing: Move gaps from secondary elements to loops– Within loops, move gaps to loop ends, i.e. turnaround point of backbone

• Align templates structurally, extract the corresponding SSA or QTA (Query/template alignment)
