  1. Genome of the week Bacillus subtilis Gram-positive soil bacterium Genetically tractable, well-studied Developmental pathways (sporulation, genetic competence) Industrial and agricultural importance 4.2 Mb genome (sequence completed 1997) Close relative of Bacillus anthracis (Anthrax)

  2. B. subtilis genome features • 4,106 protein coding genes • 10 rRNA operons • Nearly 50% of the genome consists of paralogous genes. • 77 ABC transporter binding proteins • 10 phage like regions - horizontal transfer. Low GC regions in the genome. • 18 sigma factors - initiate transcription. • 34 two-component regulatory systems.

  3. Annotating genes • How to assign preliminary functions to genes. • Automated programs. • Similarity searches • BLAST and PSI-BLAST • COGs, Pfam, CDD, other databases • Only 50-75% of genes will have a predicted function. Some have no known homologs in any other genome. • Functional characterization (individual genes) • Gene knockouts • Overexpression

  4. In many cases computer annotation will only be able to predict function - NOT assign function! • The biological function of many genes have not been determined, even in model systems. • As genomic characterization of gene function continues - more and more computer generated annotations will be correct.

  5. Molecular function - activity of a protein at the molecular level. • Examples would be ATPase, metal binding, converting glucose-6-phosphate to fructose-6-phosphate. • Biological function - cellular role of the protein. • Examples would be translation initiation, DNA replication, glycolysis.

  6. Homologs, orthologs, and paralogs. • Homologous genes are genes that share a common evolutionary ancestor. • Orthologs are genes found in different organisms that arose from a common ancestor • Paralogs are genes found in the same organism that arose from a common ancestor. Duplication could have occurred in the species or earlier.

  7. Using BLAST to predict gene function. • BLAST predicted protein sequence against the non-redundant database. • Determine best hits • Automated annotation programs will often assign the best hit function to the gene being searched. • Must manually confirm automated annotations. (Final project).

  8. Basic Local Alignment Search Tool • Calculates similarity for biological sequences • Finds best local alignments • Heuristic approach based on Smith-Waterman algorithm • Searches for matching “words” rather than individual residues • Uses statistical theory to determine if a match might have occurred by chance NCBI Field Guide

  11. Minimum Requirements for a Hit ATCGCCATGCTTAATTGGGCTT CATGCTTAATT exact word match one match • Nucleotide BLAST requires one exact match • Protein BLAST requires two neighboring matches within 40 aa GTQITVEDLFYNI SEIYYN neighborhood words two matches NCBI Field Guide

  13. Scoring Systems - Proteins • Position Independent Matrices • PAM Matrices (Percent Accepted Mutation) • Derived from observation; small dataset of alignments • Implicit model of evolution • All calculated from PAM1 • PAM250 widely used • BLOSUM Matrices (BLOck SUbstitution Matrices) • Derived from observation; large dataset of highly conserved blocks • Each matrix derived separately from blocks with a defined percent identity cutoff • BLOSUM62 - default matrix for BLAST • Position Specific Score Matrices (PSSMs) • PSI- and RPS-BLAST NCBI Field Guide

  16. Local Alignment Statistics High scores of local alignments between two random sequences follow the Extreme Value Distribution Expect Value E = number of database hits you expect to find by chance size of database your score At low E values E approximates a P value Alignments expected number of random hits Score NCBI Field Guide

  17. BLAST Databases for Proteins nr (non-redundant protein sequences) • GenBank CDS translations • NP_ RefSeqs • PIR, Swiss-Prot, PRF • PDB (sequences from structures) swissprot pat - patents pdb – sequences with 3D structures month – sequences updated within 30 days NCBI Field Guide

  18. Assessment of BLAST output • What is the level of identity and similarity of the best hits? • More identity - more likely the proteins may have similar functions. • Does the area of similarity occur over the entire protein? Or just part of the protein? (fig. 2.19) • Often you will find hits to only part of your protein. A GTP-binding domain for example. • Have any of the best hits been characterized experimentally? • With so many microbial genomes sequenced chances are you will have to search extensively to find a hit that has been characterized experimentally.
