Deduction and Visualization of Protein Structures Presented by Soodtida Tangpraphaphorn
Protein Basics • Amino acids have different charges and polarities • Primary structure is the sequence of amino acids • Secondary structure is the interactions between a.a. side chains • Tertiary structure is the folded conformation of a polypeptide • Quaternary structure is the interaction of polypeptide subunits
Applying Methods • Sequence the gene • Determine primary structure (a.a. sequence) • Search for motifs, regions of hydrophobicity/hydrophilicity, salt bridges, sulfur bridges • Find similar polypeptides • Attempt to visualize structure • Speculate function if possible

Check for Homology • Does your novel protein have and close relatives? • Similar proteins often have similar structures and functions • Input a.a. sequence into BLAST to find matches
Check for Homology • BLAST http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/BLAST
Construct Model • Capture images of the protein • X-ray crystallography • Pure protein crystal is exposed to x-ray, resulting diffraction patterns form spots corresponding with e- density • NMR Spectroscopy • Sample is immersed in magnetic field, causing nuclei to spin; variations in spin denote different connectivity of atoms
Construct Model • Mathematical algorithms • Software packages can calculate thermodynamically stable conformations of molecules • Generates Cartesian coordinates of atoms and outputs them as file • Common molecular graphics programs include • Rasmol, Rastop and Cn3D • Takes coordinate files and generates image
Images • RasMol viewer and ASN files becoming standard, Cn3D growing in popularity • 2D *.png adapted from 3D binary *.asn Chen J, Anderson JB, DeWeese-Scott C, Fedorova ND, Geer LY, He S, Hurwitz DI, Jackson JD, Jacobs AR, Lanczycki CJ, Liebert CA, Liu C, Madej T, Marchler-Bauer A, Marchler GH, Mazumder R, Nikolskaya AN, Rao BS, Panchenko AR, Shoemaker BA, Simonyan V, Song JS, Thiessen PA, Vasudevan S, Wang Y, Yamashita RA, Yin JJ, Bryant SH, "MMDB: Entrez's 3D-structure database", Nucleic Acids Res. 2003 Jan; 31(1): 474-7.
Protein Data Bank • Online repository of 3D protein structures www.rcsb.org/pdb • Search for related proteins and structures • Upload structure of your novel protein with PDB information
Generate Hypotheses • What do proteins similar to this do? • What purposes can large patches of like residues serve? • Charged patches can direct ion flow • Multiple sulfur and salt bridges strengthen protein, resist high temp.
Generate Hypotheses • Our novel sequence is similar to: bontoxilysin; botulinum neurotoxin serotypes A, B & E, HHV7 alkaline exonuclease and Zn finger protein 577 • Some are known neurotoxins • Exonucleases cleave DNA • Zinc fingers bind DNA • So what might our novel protein do? • Most search hits suggest neurotoxin
Our “novel” gene was none other than… Botulinum toxin type A (aka Botox!)
