  1. Protein structure Classification Ole Lund, Associate professor, CBS, DTU.

  2. Why classify proteins • Number of solved structures grow rapidly • Generate overview of structure types • Detect similarities (evolutionary relationships) • Set up prediction benchmarks OL

  3. Classification schemes • SCOP • Manual classification (A Murzin) • CATH • Semi manual classification (C orengo) • FSSP • Automatic classification (L Holm) OL

  4. Levels in SCOP • Class 10 • Folds 648 • Superfamilies 1007 • Families 1699 Murzin et al., 1995 http://scop.mrc-lmb.cam.ac.uk/scop/ OL

  5. Major classes in scop • Classes • All alpha proteins • Alpha and beta proteins (a/b) • Alpha and beta proteins (a+b) • Multi-domain proteins • Membrane and cell surface proteins • Small proteins OL

  6. All alpha: Hemoglobin (1bab) OL

  7. All beta: Immunoglobulin (8fab) OL

  8. Alpha/beta: Triosephosphate isomerase (1hti) OL

  9. Alpha+beta: Lysozyme (1jsf) OL

  10. Folds* • Each Class may be divided into one or more folds • Proteins which have the same (>~50%) secondary structure elements arranged the in the same order in the protein chain and in three dimensions are classified as having the same fold *confusingly also called fold classes OL

  11. Superfamilies • Superfamilies are a subdivisions of folds • A superfamily contains proteins which are thought to be evolutionarily related due to • Sequence • Function • Special structural features • Relationships between members of a superfamily may not be readily recognizable from the sequence alone OL

  12. Families • Subdivision of supefamilies • Contains members whose relationship is readily recognizable from the sequence (>~25% sequence identity) • Families are further subdivided in to Proteins • Proteins are divided into Species • The same protein may be found in several species OL

  13. Families OL

  14. CATH • Levels • Class • Architecture • This level is unique to CATH (~30 is defined) • Topology • ~Fold(/superfamily) in SCOP • Homologous Superfamily • ~Superfamily(/family) in SCOP http://www.biochem.ucl.ac.uk/bsm/cath_new/index.html OL

  15. Architecture • Same overall arrangement of secondary structures • Example: The architecture :Two layer beta sheet proteins contains different folds each with a distinct number and connectivity of strands OL

  16. FSSP • Fully automated classification • Automatic update • Database contains structural alignments • Tree of protein structures OL

  17. FSSP classification (MHC molecules) OL
