Protein Folding Quality Check in the RER

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...

Background:

The Critical Assessment of Structure Prediction (CASP) evaluates protein structure prediction methods.
Model refinement is a crucial step to improve initial predictions.

Purpose of the Study:

To assess the performance of model refinement methods in the CASP14.
To evaluate the accuracy of residue-level error estimates provided by predictors.

Main Methods:

Analysis of submitted refined models and error estimates from CASP14.
Comparison of refinement methods against a baseline 'naïve predictor' and high-quality AlphaFold 2 models.
Evaluation of refinement impact on structure-based function annotation tasks.

Main Results:

Predictor performance in ranking submissions and estimating errors varied significantly.
Only four groups surpassed the baseline 'naïve predictor'.
AlphaFold 2-derived models were largely unimprovable, with errors often related to crystal contacts.

Conclusions:

Protein structure model refinement effectiveness is inconsistent.
Refinement has a mixed impact on structure-based function prediction tools.
Further research into refinement strategies, especially for high-quality starting models, is warranted.
