Protein Folding

10.2K
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...

Conservation of Protein Domains Over Different Proteins

13.7K
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...

Protein Folding Quality Check in the RER01:29

Protein Folding Quality Check in the RER

4.8K
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...

Protein and Protein Structure02:15

Protein and Protein Structure

85.0K
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...

Protein Organization01:24

Protein Organization

8.5K
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....

Area of Science:

  • Structural bioinformatics
  • Computational biology
  • Deep learning applications in biology

Background:

  • Protein fold recognition is a critical challenge in structural bioinformatics.
  • Existing methods struggle to accurately identify features that distinguish protein folds.
  • Identifying these features is essential for understanding protein structure and function.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a novel deep learning architecture, DeepFrag-k, for improved protein fold recognition.
  • To identify fold-discriminative features at the fragment level.
  • To enhance the accuracy of classifying protein structures based on sequence information.

Main Methods:

  • A two-stage deep learning approach is proposed: DeepFrag-k.
  • Stage 1: A multi-modal Deep Belief Network (DBN) predicts structural fragments from a sequence, generating a fragment vector.
  • Stage 2: A deep Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) classifies the fragment vector to determine the corresponding protein fold.

Main Results:

  • DeepFrag-k achieved 92.98% accuracy in predicting the top-100 most popular fragments.
  • These predicted fragments serve as discriminative feature vectors.
  • The fragment feature vectors significantly improve protein fold recognition accuracy.

Conclusions:

  • A specific set of protein fragments act as structural 'keywords' for differentiating major protein folds.
  • The DeepFrag-k deep learning architecture effectively identifies these key fragments.
  • This approach offers a significant advancement in protein fold recognition accuracy.
