29 SH3 domain binding - SH3 domains are small interaction modules abundantly found in eukaryotes - They preferentially bind proline-rich regions (minimum consensus sequence is PxxP) - Two main classes of ligands exist: class I +xφpxφp class II φpxφpx+ +: R or K φ: hydrophobic x: any amino acid Surface representation of the Hck SH3 domain bound to an artificial high-affinity peptide ligand, in green. Schmidt et al. (2007) Technical University of Denmark 29

34 HLA-A*02:01 sub-motifs - Binding to MHC class molecules is a fundamental step for peptide immunogenicity - One important parameter is binding affinity - But not all peptides with high binding affinity become immunogenic - Immunogenicity depends also on the formation of stable MHCpeptide complexes 650 peptides binding to A*02:01 Technical University of Denmark 34

36 In conclusion Sampling methods can solve problems where the search space is too large to be exhaustively explored Gibbs sampling can detect even weak motifs in a sequence alignment (e.g. MHC class II) Gibbs clustering can be used to separated multiple motifs contained in a data set (e.g. SH3 domain classes, MHC molecules sub-specificities) More than 1,000 papers in PubMed using Gibbs sampling methods Transcription factor binding sites Transmembrane domains MHC class I and II binding...
