Protein-protein Interfaces02:04

Protein-protein Interfaces

14.0K
Many proteins form complexes to carry out their functions, making protein-protein interactions (PPIs) essential for an organism's survival. Most PPIs are stabilized by numerous weak noncovalent chemical forces. The physical shape of the interfaces determines the way two proteins interact. Many globular proteins have closely-matching shapes on their surfaces, which form a large number of weak bonds. Additionally, many PPIs occur between two helices or between a surface cleft and a...

Protein Networks

4.1K
An organism can have thousands of different proteins, and these proteins must cooperate to ensure the health of an organism. Proteins bind to other proteins and form complexes to carry out their functions. Many proteins interact with multiple other proteins creating a complex network of protein interactions.
These interactions can be represented through maps depicting protein-protein interaction networks, represented as nodes and edges. Nodes are circles that are representative of a protein,...

Conserved Binding Sites

4.7K
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...

Conservation of Protein Domains Over Different Proteins

13.1K
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 Organization01:24

Protein Organization

7.9K
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:

  • Computational Biology
  • Structural Bioinformatics
  • Machine Learning in Biochemistry

Background:

  • Accurate prediction of inter-protein (interfacial) contacts is crucial for understanding protein-protein interactions (PPIs) and characterizing their structures in silico.
  • Existing deep learning methods for interfacial contact prediction show limitations in accuracy compared to intra-protein contact prediction.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To introduce GLINTER (Graph Learning of INTER-protein contacts), a novel deep learning approach for predicting interfacial contacts in protein dimers.
  • To enhance the accuracy of in silico structural characterization of protein-protein interactions.

Main Methods:

  • GLINTER utilizes a rotational invariant representation of protein tertiary structures.
  • The method incorporates a pretrained language model of multiple sequence alignments.
  • The approach is evaluated on the CASP-CAPRI datasets (13th and 14th).

Main Results:

  • GLINTER achieved an average top L/10 precision of 54% for homodimers and 52% for all dimers.
  • These results significantly outperform previous methods, such as DeepHomo (30% for homodimers) and BIPSPI (15% for all dimers).
  • The predicted contacts from GLINTER demonstrably improve the selection of docking decoys.

Conclusions:

  • GLINTER represents a significant advancement in deep learning for inter-protein contact prediction.
  • The method's high accuracy facilitates more reliable in silico structural characterization of protein dimers.
  • GLINTER's ability to improve decoy selection offers practical benefits for structural biology research.
