Conservation of Protein Domains Over Different Proteins

Protein domains are small structurally independent units that are part of a single amino acid chain.  Although these domains are often structurally independent, they may rely on synergistic effects to perform their functions as part of a larger protein. Protein domains may be conserved within the same organism, as well as across different organisms.
A limited set of protein domains often duplicate and recombine during evolution. These domains can be organized in different combinations to form...
Protein Organization01:24

Protein Organization

Proteins are polymers of amino acid residues. They are versatile and responsible for different cellular functions, including DNA replication, molecular transport, catalysis, and structural support. Proteins have a hierarchical structure comprising at least three levels of organization: primary, secondary, and tertiary structure. Some large proteins have a quaternary structure where individual protein subunits are linked together.
The primary structure of a protein is its amino acid sequence.
Protein Folding01:25

Protein Folding

Proteins are chains of amino acids linked together by peptide bonds. Upon synthesis, a protein folds into a three-dimensional conformation, critical to its biological function. Interactions between its constituent amino acids guide protein folding, and hence the protein structure is primarily dependent on its amino acid sequence.
Protein Structure Is Critical to Its Biological Function
Proteins perform a wide range of biological functions such as catalyzing chemical reactions, providing...

Area of Science:

  • Computational Biology
  • Structural Bioinformatics
  • Protein Science

Background:

  • Orphan proteins lack sequence similarity to known proteins, complicating functional prediction.
  • Accurate protein structure prediction is crucial for understanding orphan protein functions.
  • Secondary structure prediction for orphan proteins is challenging due to the absence of homologous sequences for alignment.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To compare different training set reduction methods for re-training hidden semi-Markov models in the IPSSP algorithm.
  • To improve the accuracy of secondary structure prediction for orphan proteins using single-sequence algorithms.

Main Methods:

  • Re-training of hidden semi-Markov models used in the IPSSP algorithm.
  • Comparison of composition-based, alignment-based, and Chou-Fasman based reduction methods.
  • Evaluation of threshold-based reduction versus selecting the first 80% of dataset proteins.

Main Results:

  • The composition-based reduction method demonstrated superior performance in re-training.
  • Threshold-based reduction outperformed the method of selecting the first 80% of dataset proteins.
  • Re-training significantly enhances the accuracy of secondary structure prediction for orphan proteins.

Conclusions:

  • Composition-based reduction is the most effective method for improving IPSSP's orphan protein secondary structure prediction.
  • Optimized training set refinement is key to enhancing single-sequence prediction algorithms.
  • This work provides a more accurate approach to predicting structures of orphan proteins.
