  1. Classification: understanding the diversity and principles of protein structure and function Tool: structure comparison MCSG 2001 structures

  2. Why compare protein structures? • Learn about – structure-function relationships – evolution – common building blocks – motifs • Make order out of the universe of protein structures • Help structure prediction Inge Jonassen

  3. Structure Comparison Growth factor Cytokine • Evolutionary relationship • Structure classification

  4. 9% sequence identity Shapiro & Harris, 2000

  5. Gerstein

  6. Strategies • Bottom Up find local matches first, then solve the combinatorial problem to identify the largest cluster of matching substructures (e.g., Dali, CE, etc.) • Top Down find a rough global alignment first, then use a refinement procedure to identify details of local matches (e.g., 3D look-up, subgraph isomorphism, etc.)

  7. Types of substructure used • Atom/atom group • Residue • Fragment • Secondary structure element (SSE) • Structure described by elements of the chosen type (e.g. molecular surface)

  11. SAP (iterated DDP)

  12. DDP

  13. Dali

  14. Dali’s idea

  15. 3D Lookup Holm & Sander (1995)

  16. 3D Lookup

  17. Structure Comparison Tools • DALI ( http://www2.ebi.ac.uk/dali/ ) • CE ( http://cl.sdsc.edu/ ) • VAST (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/Structure/VAST/vast.html ) • Prosup ( http://www.came.sbg.ac.at ) • FLASH (http://thr.ibms.sinica.edu.tw/flash/)

  18. Complication: alternative alignments

  19. Results of different methods on the comparison of Azurin (1azc:A) vs plastocyanin (1plc)

  20. Complication: permutation

  21. Circular Permutation (CP) B N A C B A C N C D C D ..A..B..C..D.. ..C..D..A..B..

  22. A real example of CP C N N C 1nls (Concanavalin) 1led (Lectin)

  23. FLASH’s algorithm SSE matching: Angle-distance map:

  24. Greedy selection of distinct alignment solutions (1) g - f’ d - c’f - e’ e - d’ b - a’ c - b’ (2) c - e’ b - d’d - f’ (3) e - a’ f - b’g - c’ Optimal: Alternative:

  25. N C’ C N’ N C A B C D N’ C’ A D C B Scrambled Protein Pair “…few, if any, are able to detect permutations directly.” - Robert B. Russell (2002)

  26. Unique Capabilities: • alternative alignments allowing sub-domain motif (structural building block) discovery • permutation detection at all levels of complexity
