Conserved Binding Sites01:49

Conserved Binding Sites

5.3K
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...

Protein Folding Quality Check in the RER

5.8K
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...

Proteins are dynamic macromolecules that carry out a wide variety of essential processes; however, the activities of most proteins depend on their interactions with other molecules or ions, known as ligands.
Protein-ligand interactions are quite specific; even though numerous potential ligands surround a cellular protein at any given time, only a particular ligand can bind to that protein. Moreover, a ligand binds only to a dedicated area on the surface of the protein, known as the...

Induced-fit Model

Most chemical reactions in cells require enzymes—biological catalysts that speed up the reaction without being consumed or permanently changed. They reduce the activation energy needed to convert the reactants into products. Enzymes are proteins, that usually work by binding to a substrate—a reactant molecule that they act upon.
Enzymes exhibit substrate specificity, meaning that they can only bind to certain substrates. This is mainly determined by the shape and chemical...

Background:

  • Protein structure prediction and quality assessment are vital for understanding protein function.
  • Statistical potentials are commonly used but often context-specific (monomers vs. complexes).
  • Existing methods show limitations in generalizability across different protein modeling tasks.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To introduce BACH-SixthSense, a versatile single residue-based statistical potential.
  • To evaluate its performance in both protein monomer structure assessment and protein-protein docking.

  • Evaluated BACH-SixthSense on CAPRI targets for protein-protein docking pose recognition.

Main Results:

  • BACH-SixthSense demonstrated significantly higher performance in discriminating native structures compared to existing methods.
  • Achieved superior results on both monomeric protein datasets (CASP) and protein dimer datasets (CAPRI).
  • Showed good performance in recognizing near-native docking poses within CAPRI decoy sets.

Conclusions:

  • BACH-SixthSense offers a unified and effective approach for protein structure quality assessment across diverse modeling contexts.
