Hidden Markov Models That Use Predicted Local Structure for Fold Recognition: Alphabets of Backbone Geometry R Karchin, M Cline, Y Mandel-Gutfreund, K Karplus
Problem • Parent fold may have low sequence similarity • Most often, query is only sequence
Proposed Solution • Try to predict local structure of target • Use local structure prediction in fold recognition
Simple SAM Overview Query Sequence
Start Stop Profile HMM
Start Stop AA Str AA Str AA Str AA Str AA AA AA Str Str Str Two-Track Profile HMM
Start Stop AA Str AA Str AA Str AA Str AA AA AA Str Str Str SAM with Local Structure Query Sequence Predicted local structure Two-track HMM
Scoring • Profile HMMP(residue|state) = θ(AA,state) • Two-Track Profile HMMP(residue|state) = θ(AA,state)Φ(local,state) • SAM Two-Track Profile HMMP(residue|state) = θ(AA,state)Φ0.3(local,state)
Good Structure Alphabets • Intuitively, we want • Predictability • Conservation • Better fold recognition • Better alignment
Predicting Local Structure of the Query • Alphabets very dissimilar • Use a neural network • Input: window of multiple alignment • Output: structure probabilities for a single residue
Predictability • Evaluated on • Correct predictions (QN) • Overlap of structure segments (SOV) • Information gain • Winners: • *-EHL for precision • STR and PB for most information
Conservation • Used FSSP structural alignments • Calculated mutual information between proteins • Used only alignments with low sequence similarity • Winners: • STR, PB
Fold Recognition Winners: All except PB (STRIDE-EHL leading, STR lagging)
Alignment • Compared to DALI and CE alignments • Evaluated using a shift score • 1.0 perfect match • -0.2 is the worst (adjustable) • Winners • STR, and STRIDE gets an odd one. • All alphabets improve alignment
Conclusions • Local structure improves: • Fold recognition • Alignment when there’s little sequence similarity • Alignment and fold recognition are very different problems
