Different techniques • Algorithms • Sliding window, Nearest Neighbor • Patterns, regular expression • Weight matrices • HMM, profiles • Neural Networks • Rules
Sliding window THISISATESTSEQVENCETHATDISPLAYSTHESLIDINGWINDQW Score1 Scoren Score2 Width or Size=11, Step=5 Results are usually displayed as a graph, see example ->
Patterns / regular expression • Pattern: <A-x-[ST](2)-x(0,1)-{V} • Regexp: ^A.[ST]{2}.?[^V] • Text: The sequence must start with an alanine, followed by any amino acid, followed by a serine or a threonine, two times, followed by any amino acid or nothing, followed by any amino acid except a valine. • Simply the syntax differ…

Pattern prediction (PROSITE) Short or weak signal Frequent hit producer Best method is experimental MS/MS detection Most method use « rules » joining pattern detection and knowledge to predict sites. NetOGlyc - Prediction of type O-glycosylation sites in mammalian proteins DictyOGlyc - Prediction of GlcNAc O-glycosylation sites in Dictyostelium YinOYang - O-beta-GlcNAc attachment sites in eukaryotic protein sequences NetPhos - Prediction of Ser, Thr and Tyr phosphorylation sites in eukaryotic proteins NMT - Prediction of N-terminal N-myristoylation Sulfinator - Prediction of tyrosine sulfation sites PTM detection

DEA Exercises web based sequence analysis The goal of this exercise is to use web based tools for protein sequence analysis a) Take this TrEMBL sequence (Q9X252) and try a BLAST against swissprot with the complete protein or with the first 70 residues. Explain the difference. Use TMPred, SignalP, and COILS to help you. b) Pass this sequence through PFSCAN and search all databases. Compare with this command on ludwig-sun1/2:hits -b "prf pat pfam" tr:Q9X252 c) use the different profile, motifs, pattern databases to get more information about the domain(s) you found. d) How do you evaluate the PRINTS tropomyosin annotation in this TrEMBL entry (Q9WZH0)? List of useful links: basic BLAST or advanced BLAST or PSI-BLAST TMPred prediction tool for transmembrane regions (or TMHMM) COILS prediction tool for coiled-coil regions SignalP prediction tool for signal-peptide cleavage site Profile, domain, motifs databases and search sites: PFSCAN InterPro (Pfam, PRINTS, PROSITE,SMART) HITS Exercises
