  8. SCOP: Structural Classification of Proteins • Domains are hierarchically classified: • class • - fold: proteins with secondary structures in same arrangement with the same topological connections • superfamily: structures and functional features suggest a common evolutionary origin • family: proteins with identities ≥30%; with identities <30% but with similar structures and functions

  9. From the Protein Sequence to the Structure and Function space Lesk A., 2004

  10. 100% • Sequence comparison From the Protein Sequence to the Structure space Sequence Identity (%) 30% • Fold recognition • Machine-learning aided alignment • Threading PDB 0% • Ab initio and de novo modelling • Machine-learning prediction of structural features New Folds

  11. From the Protein Sequence to the Structure and Function space What is protein function?

  12. What is a function? For enzymes: function can be defined on the basis of the catalysed molecular reaction. e.g. aspartic aminotransferase (AST)

  13. In biochemistry, a transaminase or an aminotransferase is an enzyme that catalyzes a type of reaction between an amino acid and an α-keto acid. Specifically, this reaction (transamination) involves removing the amino group from the amino acid, leaving behind an α-keto acid, and transferring it to the reactant α-keto acid and converting it into an amino acid. The enzymes are important in the production of various amino acids, and measuring the concentrations of various transaminases in the blood is important in the diagnosing and tracking many diseases. Transaminases require the coenzyme pyridoxal-phosphate, which is converted into pyridoxamine in the first phase of the reaction, when an amino acid is converted into a keto acid. Enzyme-bound pyridoxamine in turn reacts with pyruvate, oxaloacetate, or alpha-ketoglutarate, giving alanine, aspartic acid, or glutamic acid, respectively. The presence of elevated transaminases can be an indicator of liver damage.

  16. Problems: Isoforms e.g How to differentiate the function of the cytoplasmic aspartate amintransferase from that of mitochondrial isoform? Non enzymatic proteins

  21. Transfer by inheritance: Function annotation transfer from sequence through homology

  22. http://www.uniprot.org/

  23. PDB The annotation process at UniProt

  24. Open problems of “inheritance through homology “ • Not all UniProt files are GO annotated • The optimal threshold value of sequence identity for function transfer is not known • Proteins contain multiple domains • Proteins can share common domains and not necessarily the same function • In proteins different combination of shared domains lead to different biological roles
