Miss members of family not yet sampled (too many false negative hits) Pseudocounts - adding artificial values for 'extra' amino acid(s) not observed in the training set Treated as a 'real' values in calculating probabilities Improve predictive power of profiles & HMMs Dirichlet mixture - commonly used mathematical model to simulate the aa distribution in a sequence alignment To "correct" problems in an observed alignment based on limited number of sequences SECTION II Xiong: Chp 7 SEQUENCE ALIGNMENT Protein Motifs and Domain Prediction Identification of Motifs & Domains in MSAs Motif & Domain Databases Using Regular Expressions Motif & Domain Databases Using Statistical Models Protein Family Databases Motif Discovery in Unaligned Sequences Sequence Logos BCB 444/544 F7 ISU Dobbs #19- Protein Structure Basics & 17 BCB 444/544 F7 ISU Dobbs #19- Protein Structure Basics & 18 BCB 444/544 Fall 7 Dobbs 3

4 Motifs & Domains Motif - short conserved sequence pattern Associated with distinct function in protein or DNA Avg = 1 residues (usually 6-2 residues) e.g., zinc finger motif - in protein e.g., TATA box - in DNA Domain - "longer" conserved sequence pattern, defined as a independent functional and/or structural unit Avg = 1 residues (range from 4-7 in proteins) e.g., inase domain or transmembrane domain - in protein Domains may (or may not) include motifs 2 Approaches for Representing "Consensus" Information in Motifs & Domains Regular expression - symbolic representation of information from MSA e.g., protein phosphorylation site motif: [S,T]- X- [R,K] Symbols represent specific or unspecified residues, spaces, etc. 2 mechanisms for matching: Exact "Fuzzy" (inexact, approximate) - flexible, more permissive to detect "near matches" Statistical model - includes probability information derived from MSA e.g., PSSM, Profile, or HMM BCB 444/544 F7 ISU Dobbs #19- Protein Structure Basics & 19 BCB 444/544 F7 ISU Dobbs #19- Protein Structure Basics & 2 Motif & Domain Databases Protein Family Databases Based on regular expressions: Prosite (Interpro includes Prosite, PRINTS, etc) Emofit Limitation: these don't tae probability info into account Based on statistical models: PRINTS BLOCKS ProDom Pfam SMART CDART Reverse PsiBLAST READ your textboo & try some of these at home; there are distinct advantages/disadvantages associated with each TAKE HOME LESSON: Always try several methods! (not just one!) In addition to databases of "related" protein sequences, based on shared motifs or domains (Pfam, BLOCKS, CDART), some databases "cluster" sequences into families based on near full-length sequence comparisons COGs - Clusters of Orthologous Groups (at NCBI) Mostly Proaryotic sequences KOG = newer Euaryotic version COGnitor - softwared to search database ProtoNet - also clusters of homologous protein sequences Advantages: tree-lie hierarchical structure Provide GO (gene ontology) annotations Provides InterPro eywords BCB 444/544 F7 ISU Dobbs #19- Protein Structure Basics & 21 BCB 444/544 F7 ISU Dobbs #19- Protein Structure Basics & 22 Motif Discovery in Unaligned Sequences Expectation Maximization - generate"random" alignment of all sequences, derive PSSM, iteratively match individual sequences to PSSM to edit & improve it Problems? Can hit a local optimum (premature convergence) Sensitive to initial alignment MEME - Multiple EM for Motif Elicitation - modified EM, avoids local optimum issues; two step procedure Gibbs Sampling - generate "trial" PSSM from random alignment first, as in EM, but leave one sequence out of initial alignment, then iteratively match PSSM to left-out sequences Gibbs Sampler - web-based motif search via Gibbs sampling Not mentioned in textboo: Stochastic context-free grammers Other "state of the art"pproaches in recent literature, but not available in web-based servers (yet) BCB 444/544 F7 ISU Dobbs #19- Protein Structure Basics & 23 SECTION V Chp 12 - Protein Structure Basics Xiong: Chp 12 STRUCTURAL BIOINFORMATICS Protein Structure Basics LAB 6 Introduction to Protein DataBan - PDB PyMol Cn3D?

7 Glycine is Smallest Amino Acid R group = H atom Glycine residues increase bacbone flexibility because they have no R group Proline is Cyclic Proline residues reduce flexibility of polypeptide chain Proline cis-trans isomerization is often a rate-limiting step in protein folding Recent wor suggests it also may also regulate ligand binding in native proteins Andreotti (BBMB) BCB 444/544 F7 ISU Dobbs #19- Protein Structure Basics & 37 BCB 444/544 F7 ISU Dobbs #19- Protein Structure Basics & 38 Cysteines can Form Disulfide (S-S) Bonds Disulfide bonds (covalent) stabilize 3-D structures In euaryotes, disulfide bonds are often found in secreted proteins or extracellular domains Globular Proteins Have a Compact Hydrophobic Core Pacing of hydrophobic side chains into interior is main driving force for folding Problem? Polypeptide bacbone is highly polar (hydrophilic) due to polar -NH and C=O in each peptide unit (which are charged at neutral ph=7, found in biological systems); these polar groups must be neutralized Solution? Form regular secondary structures, e.g., α-helix, β-sheet, stabilized by H-bonds BCB 444/544 F7 ISU Dobbs #19- Protein Structure Basics & 39 BCB 444/544 F7 ISU Dobbs #19- Protein Structure Basics & 4 Exterior Surface of Globular Proteins is Generally Hydrophilic Hydrophobic core formed by paced secondary structural elements provides compact, stable core "Functional groups" of protein are attached to this framewor; exterior has more flexible regions (loops) and polar/charged residues Hydrophobic "patches" on protein surface are often involved in protein-protein interactions Protein Secondary Structures α Helices β Sheets Loops Coils BCB 444/544 F7 ISU Dobbs #19- Protein Structure Basics & 41 BCB 444/544 F7 ISU Dobbs #19- Protein Structure Basics & 42 BCB 444/544 Fall 7 Dobbs 7
