Conserved Binding Sites01:49

Conserved Binding Sites

Many proteins’ biological role depends on their interactions with their ligands, small molecules that bind to specific locations on the protein known as ligand-binding sites. Ligand-binding sites are often conserved among homologous proteins as these sites are critical for protein function.
Binding sites are often located in large pockets, and if their location on a protein’s surface is unknown, it can be predicted using various approaches. The energetic method computationally analyses the...
Conservation of Protein Domains Over Different Proteins02:26

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 Folding Quality Check in the RER01:29

Protein Folding Quality Check in the RER

ER is the primary site for the maturation and folding of soluble and transmembrane secretory proteins. The calnexin cycle is a specific chaperone system that folds and assesses the confirmation of N-glycosylated proteins before they can exit the ER lumen. The primary players of this quality check pipeline are the lectins, ER-resident chaperones, and a glucosyl transferase enzyme. In case the calnexin system in the lumen fails to salvage a misfolded protein, it is transported to the cytoplasm...
Protein and Protein Structure02:15

Protein and Protein Structure

Proteins are one of the most abundant organic molecules in living systems and have the most diverse range of functions of all macromolecules. Proteins may be structural, regulatory, contractile, or protective. They may serve in transport, storage, or membranes; or they may be toxins or enzymes. Their structures, like their functions, vary greatly. They are all, however, amino acid polymers arranged in a linear sequence.
A protein's shape is critical to its function. For example, an enzyme can...
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.
Structural Protein Function01:56

Structural Protein Function

Structural proteins are a category of proteins responsible for functions ranging from cell shape and movement to providing support to major structures such as bones, cartilage, hair, and muscles. This group includes proteins such as collagen, actin, myosin, and keratin.
Collagen, the most abundant protein in mammals, is found throughout the body. In connective tissue, such as skin, ligaments, and tendons, it provides tensile strength and elasticity.  In bones and teeth, it mineralizes to form...

Area of Science:

  • Computational Biology
  • Structural Bioinformatics
  • Protein Science

Background:

  • Accurate protein loop structure prediction is crucial for understanding protein function.
  • Current methods using coarse-grain scoring functions can be inaccurate due to simplified protein representations, potentially missing important conformations.
  • Efficiently sampling loop conformation space is key for high-accuracy modeling.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To introduce a novel computational sampling approach, Pareto optimal sampling (POS), for generating accurate protein loop backbone models.
  • To address the limitations of individual scoring functions in loop structure prediction by exploring a multi-function space.
  • To improve the accuracy and efficiency of protein loop modeling.

Main Methods:

  • Developed the Pareto optimal sampling (POS) method, which samples the function space of multiple scoring functions.
  • Utilized a function space including backbone-only Rosetta, distance-scale finite ideal-gas reference (DFIRE), and a custom triplet backbone dihedral potential.
  • Applied POS to loop targets ranging from 4 to 13 residues.

Main Results:

  • POS generated model sets with structures within subangstrom resolution for 501 out of 502 targets.
  • Top-ranked models achieved root mean square deviation (RMSD) < 1 Å for 96.8% (short), 84.1% (medium), and 72.2% (long) of targets after all-atom refinement and Pareto optimal consensus (POC) ranking.
  • Effective sampling was demonstrated across various loop lengths, including 13-residue targets.

Conclusions:

  • The POS method effectively tolerates insensitivity and inaccuracy in individual scoring functions, leading to significant improvements in loop structure prediction accuracy.
  • POS provides a robust approach for generating diverse and accurate loop conformations, essential for downstream functional analysis.
  • The findings highlight the potential of multi-scoring function sampling strategies in computational structural biology.
