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...

Ligand Binding and Linkage

5.9K
Allosteric proteins have more than one ligand binding site; the binding of a ligand to any of these sites influences the binding of ligands to the other sites. When a protein is allosteric, its binding sites are called coupled or linked.  In the case of enzymes, the site that binds to the substrate is known as the active site and the other site is known as the regulatory site. When a ligand binds to the regulatory site, this leads to conformational changes in the protein that can influence...

Allosteric Proteins-ATCase

6.9K
Binding sites linkages can regulate a protein's function.  For example, enzyme activity is often regulated through a feedback mechanism where the end product of the biochemical process serves as an inhibitor.
Aspartate transcarbamoylase (ATCase) is a cytosolic enzyme that catalyzes the condensation of L-aspartate and carbamoyl phosphate to  N-carbamoyl-L-aspartate. This reaction is the first step in pyrimidine biosynthesis. UTP and CTP, the end products of the pyrimidine synthesis...

Conservation of Protein Domains Over Different Proteins02:26

Conservation of Protein Domains Over Different Proteins

15.0K
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...

Mechanistic Models: Compartment Models in Individual and Population Analysis01:23

Mechanistic Models: Compartment Models in Individual and Population Analysis

321
Mechanistic models are utilized in individual analysis using single-source data, but imperfections arise due to data collection errors, preventing perfect prediction of observed data. The mathematical equation involves known values (Xi), observed concentrations (Ci), measurement errors (εi), model parameters (ϕj), and the related function (ƒi) for i number of values. Different least-squares metrics quantify differences between predicted and observed values. The ordinary least...

Area of Science:

  • Computational Biology
  • Protein Science
  • Bioinformatics

Background:

  • Understanding protein function requires elucidating cooperative mechanisms of interconnected residues.
  • Coevolution analysis models evolutionary information reflecting structural and functional constraints.
  • Markov random field (MRF) models have advanced coevolution analysis, but performance is often assessed solely on protein structure.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and evaluate a structure-based MRF model for coevolution analysis.
  • To assess the model's ability to capture evolutionary information related to protein function.
  • To compare the effectiveness of node weights versus edge weights for positional coevolution estimation.

Main Methods:

  • Constructed an MRF model with graphical topology based on residue proximity in protein structure.
  • Derived a novel positional coevolution estimate using MRF node weights.
  • Evaluated the structure-based MRF method on datasets annotated with catalytic, allosteric, and functional sites.

Main Results:

  • The structure-based MRF architecture effectively encodes evolutionary information linked to biological function.
  • MRF node weights provide a more accurate representation of positional coevolution than edge weights.
  • The model can be reliably constructed with limited aligned sequences in linear time.

Conclusions:

  • A structure-based architecture is a viable approximation for coevolution modeling.
  • The proposed method offers efficient computational complexity.
  • This approach enhances the understanding of protein functional constraints through evolutionary analysis.
