  1. Extracting and Exploiting Structural Patterns in Proteins, especially Relating to Function Janet Thornton James Watson, Roman Laskowski - EBI Adel Golovin, Kim Henrick - EBI MSD David Leader, James Milner-White – Glasgow Andrzej Joachimiak, Aled Edwards – MCSG (Mid-West Centre for Structural Genomics)

  2. Outline • Structural Motifs • PDBsum • MSDmotif • Functional Motifs • Catalytic Site Atlas • DNA Binding Motifs • Automated templates • Reverse Templates • From Structure to Function? - ProFunc

  3. Structural Motifs Structural motifs are commonly occurring small sections of proteins – that are distinguished by: Sequence – Gly-X-Gly Conformation – , angles Secondary structure - helix, bab unit Function – catalytic triad, calcium binding site

  4. Examples of Structural Motifs AlphaBeta Motif Beta Turn Schellmann Loop Beta Bulge (classic) Nest Beta Bulge Loop

  5. Structural Motifs They may be continuous along the chain (e.g. GXG) or discontinuous (e.g. catalytic triad) Historically motifs were identified and analysed in an effort to understand the relationship between protein sequence and structure, to improve prediction methods. They are also used to assign function (Prosite). Many motifs can now be recognised automatically from coordinates, using programmes such as DSSP and Promotif PDB files can be annotated with these structural motifs e.g. in PDBsum

MSD motif • Available in alpha version • http://www.ebi.ac.uk/msd-srv/msdmotif • Will be published later this year • Incremental weekly update • 20 G disk space on Oracle DB, linear dependency ~ 0.8 M per PDB • Web application server with J2EE servlet engine • NCBI Blast Adel Golovin Kim Henrick

  25. Outline • Structural Motifs • PDBsum • MSDmotif • Functional Motifs • Catalytic Site Atlas • DNA Binding Motifs • Automated templates • Reverse Templates • From Structure to Function? - ProFunc

  26. Catalytic Site Atlas • Taken from primary literature: • -lactamase Class A • EC: 3.5.2.6 • PDB: 1btl • Reaction: -lactam + H2O  -amino acid • Active site residues: S70, K73, S130, E166 • Plausible mechanism:

  27. The Catalytic Site Atlas: a resource of catalytic sites and residues identified in enzymes using structural data. Craig T. Porter, Gail J. Bartlett, and Janet M. Thornton Nucl. Acids. Res. 2004 32: D129-D133. http://www.ebi.ac.uk/thornton-srv/databases/CSA

  28. Annotates catalytic residues in the PDB • Based on a dataset of 514 enzyme families • Representative catalytic site for each family • Homologues assigned by Psi-BLAST • Limited substitution allowed. • Homologues updated monthly. • Literature references • Data also available via MSDsite • http://www.ebi.ac.uk/thornton-srv/databases/CSA • http://www.ebi.ac.uk/msd-srv/msdsite

  29. 3-D templates • Use 3D templates to describe the active site of the enzyme • analogous to 1-D sequence motifs such as PROSITE, butin 3-D • Sequence position independent • Captures essence of functional site in protein

  31. Aspartic Proteinase - Active Site residues - [DTG]x2 Eukaryotic & Fungal Aspartic Proteinases: all-atom DTG-DTG Template

  32. Aspartic Proteases: Active Site Template Asp CO2 Gly C A template of 8 atoms is sufficient to identify all Aspartic Proteinases Asp O Gly C Thr/Ser O Thr O

  33. Aspartic Protease Template Search against all PDB green= true red=false

  34. TEmplate Search and Superposition TESS Wallace et al., 1997 • defines a functional site as a sequence-independent set of atoms in 3-D space • search a new structure for a functional site • search a database of structures for similar clusters e.g. serine proteinase, catalytic triad

  35. Serine Proteinase templates • A trypsin-based template of 7 atoms was able to identify almost all serine proteinases in PDB- including subtilisin • It also identified active sites of several other functionally distinct enzyme families - serine carboxypeptidase, acetylcholine esterase; lipase; dehalogenase • The catalytic triad has evolved independently many times

  46. Ideal RMSD distribution

  48. HTH Motif Extended Templates • Extend templates by adding +2 residues to start and end • 1berA16-36 • 1berA14-38
