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....

Protein Networks

Protein Networks

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,...

Protein and Protein Structure

Protein and Protein Structure

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...

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...

Background:

Protein structure prediction accuracy remains a challenge, particularly for multi-domain and orphan proteins.
Existing scoring models, including unified field and protein-specific functions, have limitations in accurately guiding protein structure modeling and ranking.
Deep learning approaches are urgently needed to develop more accurate and efficient protein scoring models.

Purpose of the Study:

To propose and evaluate GraphGPSM, a novel global protein structure scoring model based on equivariant graph neural networks (EGNN).
To guide protein structure folding and ranking using deep learning for improved accuracy.
To address the limitations of current scoring models in predicting complex protein structures.

Main Methods:

Developed an EGNN architecture (GraphGPSM) with a message-passing mechanism for information exchange between graph nodes and edges.
Integrated residue-level ultrafast shape recognition, Gaussian radial basis functions for topology encoding, Rosetta energy terms, dihedral angles, and inter-residue geometry.
Utilized a multilayer perceptron to output the global score for protein models.

Main Results:

GraphGPSM scores show a strong correlation with TM-scores on CASP13, CASP14, and CAMEO datasets.
Outperformed established scoring models like REF2015, ModFOLD8, ProQ3D, and DeepAccNet.
Demonstrated significant improvements in modeling accuracy for 484 test proteins.
Achieved higher average TM-scores for orphan and multi-domain proteins compared to AlphaFold2.
Showcased competitive performance in global accuracy estimation at CASP15.

Conclusions:

GraphGPSM offers a highly accurate and efficient method for protein structure global scoring.
The model significantly enhances protein structure modeling accuracy, especially for challenging protein types.
GraphGPSM represents a substantial advancement in deep learning-based protein structure prediction and scoring.
