  7. Alignment is the limiting step for homology model accuracy No amount of forcefield minimization will put a misaligned residue in the right place ! HOMSTRAD @ CASP4: Williams MG et al. (2001) ProteinsSuppl.5: 92-97

  8. Superposition vs. Alignment The coordinates of two proteins can be superimposed in space. An alignment may be derived from a superposition by correlating residues that are close in space. An optimal sequence alignment may lead to a different alignment ... 1GTR vs 2TS1

Although the optimal sequence alignment is not unreasonable (19% ID = 40/212 residues), comparison with the structure shows it is actually wrong for all but 11 residues ! The structure based alignment is quite dissimilar in sequence ( 4.5%ID = 12/265 residues) but the superposition actually matches 39% of residues ( 104/265 ) over the length of the domain.

  10. Inserts may be accomodated in a distant part of the structure Example - a five residue insert Sequence aligment (shows what happened) gktlit nfsqehip gktlisflyeqnfsqehip Structure alignment (shows how it's accomodated) gktlitnfsq ehip gktlisflyeqnfsqehip a-helix

  11. Off by 1, Off by 4 3.8Å • A shift in alignment of 1 residue corresponds to a skew in the modeled structure of about 4 Å (3.8 Å is the inter-alpha carbon distance) • Nothing you can do AFTER an alignment will fix this error (not even molecular dynamics).

  12. Indels (inserts or deletions) • Observations of known similarities in structures demonstrate that uniform gap penalty assumptions areNOT BIOLOGICAL. • Indels are most often observed in loops, less often in secondary structure elements • When they do not occur in loops, there is usually a maintenance of helical or strand properties.

  13. Can we do better with the gap assumption? • Required: position specific gap penalties • One approach: implemented in Clustal as secondary structure masks • Get secondary structure information, convert it to Clustal mask format. (Easy - read documentation !)

  14. Secondary structure from PDB .... (Algorithm ?)

  15. Secondary structure from RasMol .... (DSSP !)

  16. Concept 2: Reasons to model need to be defined.

  17. Use of homology models Biochemical inference from 3D similarity • Bonds • Angles, plain and dihedral • Surfaces, solvent accessibility • Amino acid functions, presence in structure patterns • Spatial relationship of residues to active site • Spatial relationship to other residues • Participation in function / mechanism • Static and dynamic disorder • Electrostatics • Conservation patterns (structural and functional) • Posttranslational modification sites (but not structural consequences!) • Suitability as drug target Don't !

  18. Abuse of homology models • Modelling properties that cannot / will not be verified • Analysing geometry of model • Interpreting loop structures near indels • Inferring relative domain arrangement • Inferring structures of complexes

  19. Databases of Models Don’t make models unless you check first... • Swiss-Model repository • 64,000 models based on 4000 structures and Swiss-Prot proteins • ModBase • Made with "Modeller" - 15,000 reliable models for substantial segments of approximately 4,000 proteins in the genomes of Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Mycoplasma genitalium, Methanococcus jannaschii, Caenorhabditis elegans, and Escherichia coli.

  20. Concept 3: Fully automated services perform well.

  21. TEM HOM TAR Homology Modeling Process PSI-BLAST Search nr (PDB) These are really two queries rolled into one procedure. TAR: Target sequence T-Coffee Align Search: Sequence database similarity search Cinema nr: non-redundant Genbank subset, (with annotated structures) MSA HOM: Homologous sequences SwissModel Model ExPDB TEM: Sequences of homologues with known structure LIG Align: Careful Multiple Sequence Alignment 3D MSA: Multiple Sequence Alignment Model: Generate 3D Model TextEditor Complete ExPDB: Modeling template structure database 3DC Complete: Add ligands, substrates etc. to model Analyse: Interpret and conclude RasMol Analyse PUB: Publish results Consurf PUB

  22. Homology Modeling Software? • Freely available packages perform as good as commercial ones at CASP (Critical Assessment of Structure Prediction) • Swiss Model (see your Integrated Assignment) • Modeller (http://guitar.rockefeller.edu)

  39. Homology Modeling in Practice How to assess model reliability ? - All indels are wrong - Structure analysis ("threading", "solvent accessibility", compatibility with ligands) can point out possible alignment errors - But: no point in "repairing" stereochemistry, only review alignment.

  40. Homology Modeling in Practice Can you predict function from your model ? No (and yes) - the model may be incompatible with a specific function.

  41. Uses of structure revisited - I: • Prototype 1: Analytical • Explain mechanistic aspects of protein. • (e.g. in terms of) • residues involved in catalysis • global properties (like electrostatics) • shape, relative orientation and distances of domains or subdomains • flexibility and dynamics - e.g. hypothesizing about the rate limiting step

  42. Uses of structure revisited - II: • Prototype 2: Comparative • Bring conservation patterns into a spatial context in order to infer causality from (database) correlations. • (e.g. in terms of) • describing context specific conservation patterns and anlyizing these according to conserved properties • analyizing the predicted effect of sequence variation (e.g. for engineering changes, fusing domains or predicting SNP effects) • distinguish physiological vs. nonphysiological interactions
