  2. Structural Bioinformatics • Prediction and modeling • Protein structure • DNA structure • RNA structure • Membrane structures • Large-complex structure

  3. An Overview • A protein folds into a unique 3D structure under the physiological condition Lysozyme sequence (129 amino acids): KVFGRCELAA AMKRHGLDNY RGYSLGNWVC AAKFESNFNT QATNRNTDGS TDYGILQINS RWWCNDGRTP GSRNLCNIPC SALLSSDITA SVNCAKKIVS DGNGMNAWVA WRNRCKGTDV QAWIRGCRL Protein backbones: Side chain

  4. Protein Structure Representations Lysozyme structure: ball & stick strand surface

  5. Growth of Protein Data Bank (PDB) [ PDB: http://www.pdb.org ]

  6. Protein Structure Database: PDB (1) • PDB (Protein Data Bank) Web site: http://www.rcsb.org/pdb/ • 33,252 Structures as of 25-Oct-2005 • PDB ID: 4-character identifier (1cau, 1gox, and 256b) • Search methods * search by PDB ID (e.g. 1lyz); * SearchLite: protein name, author's name, etc. (e.g., HIV protease); * SearchFields: EC Number, the name of the binding ligand (e.g., inhibitor), the range of the protein size, and the secondary structure content.

  7. Protein Structure Database: PDB (2) PDB format (headers + coordinates): HEADER OXIDOREDUCTASE (OXYGEN(A)) 14-JUN-89 1GOX 1GOX COMPND GLYCOLATE OXIDASE (E.C.1.1.3.1) 1GOX ...

  9. Relevance of Protein Structurein the Post-Genome Era structure medicine sequence function

  10. Structure-Function Relationship Certain level of function can be found without structure. But a structure is a key to understand the detailed mechanism. A predicted structure is a powerful tool for function inference. Trp repressor as a function switch

  11. Structure-Based Drug Design Structure-based rational drug design is still a major method for drug discovery. HIV protease inhibitor

  12. Structures in Protein Language: Letters  Words  Sentences Protein: Residues  Secondary Structure Tertiary Structure

  13. Primary, Secondary and Tertiary Structures of Proteins

  14. a helix • Single protein chain (local) • Shape maintained byintramolecular H bondingbetween -C=O and H-N-

  15. b sheet • Several protein chains • Shape maintained byintramolecular H bondingbetween chains • Non-local on protein sequence

  16. -sheet (parallel, anti-parallel)

  17. Dihedral angles

  18. Ramachandran plot (alpha)

  19. Ramachandran plot (beta)

  20. Protein Structure Domain (1) • Structure domain: compact, globular unit glycoprotein actin

  21. Protein Structure Domain (2) • Structure domain is evolutionary, functional, and folding unit of a protein • Domain insertion: insert: zinc metalloproteinase + parent: thioredoxin (disulfide oxidoreductase) Dsba: disulfide bond forming protein • Protein design (growth hormone) • Threading target

  22. Structure Is Better Conserved during Evolution Structure can adopt a wide range of mutations. Physical forces favor certain structures. Concept of fold. Number of fold is limited. Currently ~800 Total: 1,000s ~10,000s TIM barrel

  23. The number of different protein folds is limited Already known folds PDB submissions per year New folds Year

  24. Protein Folding Problem A protein folds into a unique 3D structure under the physiological condition Lysozyme sequence: KVFGRCELAA AMKRHGLDNY RGYSLGNWVC AAKFESNFNT QATNRNTDGS TDYGILQINS RWWCNDGRTP GSRNLCNIPC SALLSSDITA SVNCAKKIVS DGNGMNAWVA WRNRCKGTDV QAWIRGCRL
