Protein Organization

Protein Organization

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....

Conservation of Protein Domains Over Different Proteins

Conservation of Protein Domains Over Different Proteins

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...

Assembly of Cytoskeletal Filaments

Assembly of Cytoskeletal Filaments

Cytoskeletal filaments are polymeric forms of smaller protein subunits. However, individual cytoskeletal filaments may easily disassemble or associate with other similar filaments to form rigid structures. Microfilaments, made of actin monomers, rely on actin-binding proteins to form bundles and create networks of individual actin filaments. Microtubules rely on microtubule-associated proteins (MAPs) to form sturdy cylindrical structures. However, the proteins involved in forming complex...

Genome Annotation and Assembly

Genome Annotation and Assembly

The genome refers to all of the genetic material in an organism. It can range from a few million base pairs in microbial cells to several billion base pairs in many eukaryotic organisms. Genome assembly refers to the process of taking the DNA sequencing data and putting it all back together in a correct order to create a close representation of the original genome. This is followed by the identification of functional elements on the newly assembled genome, a process called genome annotation.

Area of Science:

Computational biology
Structural bioinformatics
Deep learning applications

Background:

Deep learning, particularly AlphaFold2, has advanced single-domain protein structure prediction.
Full-chain protein modeling accuracy lags behind single-domain prediction and requires significant computational resources.
Improving full-chain modeling accuracy is crucial for comprehensive protein structure analysis.

Purpose of the Study:

To investigate if deep learning-assisted domain assembly can enhance multi-domain protein full-chain model accuracy.
To develop and evaluate a novel domain assembly method leveraging deep learning for improved protein structure prediction.

Main Methods:

Developed SADA, a deep learning-based domain assembly method using structural analogues.
Constructed a multi-domain protein structure database for analogue detection.
Employed a two-stage differential evolution algorithm guided by a deep learning-predicted energy function for domain assembly.

Main Results:

SADA demonstrated superior performance over state-of-the-art methods (DEMO, AIDA) on benchmark proteins, with higher average TM-scores.
SADA achieved a 1.1% higher average TM-score for human multi-domain proteins compared to AlphaFold2.
Identified that similar tertiary structures correlate with similar domain interaction patterns in quaternary orientations.

Conclusions:

Deep learning-assisted domain assembly is effective for improving multi-domain protein full-chain modeling.
Homologous templates and structural analogues are complementary resources for multi-domain protein modeling.
The SADA method offers a promising approach for accurate full-chain protein structure prediction.
