Multi-pass Transmembrane Proteins and β-barrels01:09

Multi-pass Transmembrane Proteins and β-barrels

In multi-pass transmembrane proteins, the polypeptide chain crosses the membrane more than once. The transmembrane polypeptide chain either forms an α-helix or β-strand structure. α-Helix containing multi-pass transmembrane proteins are ubiquitous, whereas β-strand containing ones are mainly found in gram-negative bacteria, mitochondria, and chloroplasts.

Single-pass Transmembrane Proteins

Integral membrane proteins are tightly associated with the cell membrane and play a crucial role in cell communication, signaling, adhesion, and transport of the molecules. Some integral membrane proteins are present only in the membrane monolayer. For example, the enzyme fatty acid amide hydrolase is present in the cytoplasmic side of the membrane monolayer. In contrast, another type of integral membrane protein, also known as a transmembrane protein, spans across the membrane. Transmembrane...

Insertion of Multi-pass Transmembrane Proteins in the RER

The rough ER membrane synthesizes, assembles, and embeds transmembrane proteins in diverse topologies. These proteins function as transporters or channels and can remain in the ER membrane or are sent to the Golgi complex, lysosome, and cell membrane.
The multipass transmembrane proteins are the type IV integral membrane proteins with multiple topogenic sequences determining their spatial arrangement in the ER membrane. Nearly all multipass proteins lack a cleavable signal sequence and use...

Area of Science:

  • Computational biology and bioinformatics
  • Molecular and cellular biology
  • Protein structure and function prediction

Background:

  • Accurate annotation of secreted and membrane proteins is crucial for understanding cellular processes.
  • Existing tools often fail to integrate prediction of transmembrane topology and signal peptide classification.
  • This limitation results in incomplete end-to-end protein labeling for proteins with both features.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a deep learning method, PRED-TMSdeep, for joint prediction of transmembrane topology and signal peptide classes.
  • To improve the accuracy and completeness of protein annotation by integrating these two critical features.
  • To provide a comprehensive tool for analyzing protein localization and function.

Main Methods:

  • Development of PRED-TMSdeep, a deep learning model utilizing a two-step constrained decoding procedure.
  • The method first detects transmembrane segments and signal peptides, then refines global orientation and boundaries.
  • Validation on curated datasets from the Orientation of Proteins in Membranes and Protein Data Bank of Transmembrane Proteins.

Main Results:

  • PRED-TMSdeep achieves segment-level topology prediction comparable to leading predictors.
  • The method demonstrates improved signal peptide classification accuracy, particularly for the Sec/SPI class.
  • Achieved top-1 cleavage-site accuracy of 89.2%, outperforming existing tools like TMbed (84.7%) and SignalP 6.0 (86.2%).

Conclusions:

  • PRED-TMSdeep offers a significant advancement in the integrated prediction of protein transmembrane topology and signal peptide characteristics.
  • The tool provides higher accuracy in signal peptide classification and cleavage site prediction compared to current methods.
  • Available as a web server and command-line tool, PRED-TMSdeep facilitates reproducible research in protein annotation.
