Structural comparison • Structural alignment • spectrumof structural alignment methods • The properties of output • Types of comparison • Algorithmic complexity • Representation of structures • Distance matrix • Methods • Alignment of large RNA molecules • The classes of scoring
Structural alignment • homology between two or more polymer (2) • a window into the distant past of protein evolution(1) • identification homologous(1) • imply evolutionary relationships between proteins that share very little common sequence(2) • prediction of the functions and the family of the query protein(2)
rely on information about conformations.( from X-ray crystallography or NMR spectroscopyor structure predictionmethods) for evaluating prediction methods Structural alignment
The properties of out put • a superposition of the atomic coordinatesets and a minimal RMSD. • existence of multiple protein domains complicates the Structural alignment • a set of superposed three-dimensional coordinates for each input structure(2)
the root mean square(RMS) (3) Definition of RMS
Coordinate system • Spatial coordinate • Planar coordinate
Types of comparisons • Structuralsuperposition used to compare multiple conformations of the same protein uses a simple least-squares fitting algorithm(2) • Alignment Algorithms based on multidimensional rotations and modified quaternions (2)
a number system In mathematics a quaternion as the quotient of two directed lines in a three-dimensional represented as the sum of a scalar and a vector (6) Definition of quaternion
Algorithmic complexity • Optimal solution • Approximate solution(2)
Optimal solution • The optimal "threading" shown to be NP-complete • Strictly speaking, an optimal solution is only known for certain protein structure similarity measures • the algorithm for optimal solution is not practical(2)
Methods(2) • DALI • Combinatorialextension(CE) • GANGSTA+ • MAMMOTH • ProBiS • RAPIDO • SABERTOOTH • SSAP • Spalign • TOPOFIT • SSM
DALI • distance alignment matrix method • breaks the input structures into hexapeptide fragments and calculates a distance matrix • Distance matrix has two diagonals • conducted via a series of overlapping submatrices of size 6x6 • Submatrix matches are reassembled into a final alignment
DALI • The original version used a Monte Carlo simulation • The DALI method has also been used to construct a database known as FSSP (Fold classification based on Structure-Structure alignment of Proteins, or Families of Structurally Similar Proteins) • There is an searchable database based on DALI as well as a downloadable program and web search based on a standalone version known as DaliLite.
Combinatorial extension(CE) • initial AFP pair that nucleates the alignment • proceed with the next AFP • The RCSB PDB has recently released an updated version of CE and FATCAT as part of the RCSB PDB Protein Comparison Tool • provides a new variation of CE that can detect circular permutations in protein structures
Circular permutations • A circular permutation is a relationship between proteins whereby the proteins have a changed order of amino acids in their peptide sequence. The result is a protein structure with different connectivity, but overall similar three-dimensional (3D) shape(7)
GANGSTA+ • A combinatorial algorithm for non-sequential structural alignment of proteins • searching for similarity in databases (http://agknapp.chemie.fu-berlin.de/gplus/) • evaluates based on contact maps and secondry structure
MAMMOTH • MAtchingMolecular Models Obtained from Theory • For comparing models coming from structure prediction • decompose the protein structure into heptapeptides • The similarity score between two heptapeptides is calculated using a unit-vector RMS (URMS) method • These scores are stored in a similarity matrix • Derived from the likelihood of obtaining a given structural alignment by chance
MAMMOTH-mult • extension of the MAMMOTH algorithm • is very fast • produces consistent and high quality structural alignments • produces structurally implied sequence alignments that can be further used for multiple-template homology modeling
ProBiS • Protein Binding Sites. ProBiS • detects structurally similar sites on protein surfaces • compares the query protein to members of a database of protein 3D structures • Using an efficient maximum clique algorithm • Structural similarity scores are calculated for the query protein’s surface residues, and are expressed as different colors • used successfully for the detection of protein–protein, protein–small ligand and protein–DNA binding sites
RAPIDO • Rapid Alignment of Proteins In terms of Domains • a web server for the 3D alignment of crystal • using an approach based on difference distance matrices • The Matching Fragment Pairs (MFPs) are then represented as nodes in a graph • nodes in graph are chained together to form an alignment by means of an algorithm for the identification of the longest path on a DAG (Directed Acyclic Graph). • The final step: improve the quality of the alignment
SABERTOOTH • structural profiles to perform structural alignments • has favourable scaling of computation time with chain length • SABERTOOTH can be used online at http://www.fkp.tu-darmstadt.de/sabertooth/
SSAP • Sequential Structure Alignment Program • uses double dynamic programming • constructs its vectors from the beta carbons for all residues except glycine • A series of matrices are constructed • Dynamic programming applied to each resulting matrix • matrices are then summed into a "summary" matrix to • Final dynamic programming is applied again to determine the overall structural alignment
SSAP • originally produced only pairwise alignments • but has since been extended to multiple alignments as well • applied in an all-to-all fashion to produce a hierarchical fold classification scheme known as CATH (Class, Architecture, Topology, Homology) • construct the CATH Protein Structure Classification database
SPalign • Based on a new size-independent score called SPscore for • The source code for SPalign and the server are available at http://sparks.informatics.iupui.edu/yueyang/server/SPalign/
TOPOFIT • Based on Delaunay tessellation (DT) • identifies a feature point on the RMSD/Ne curve • topomax point • to detect conformational changes, topological differences in variable parts
SSM • Secondary Structure Matching (SSM), or PDBeFold at the Protein Data Bank in Europe • uses graph matching followed by c-alpha alignment to compute alignments
RNA structural alignment • large RNA molecules also form characteristic tertiary structures • A recent method for pairwise structural alignment of RNA sequences implemented in the program FOLDALIGN • In low sequence identity cases
