Prediction of protein 3D structure sequence KELVLVLYDY QEKSPRELTI KKGDILTLLN STNKDWWKVE VNDRQGFIPA AYLKKLD Similar sequence with Known 3D structure is identified Similar sequence(s) found, but no info on 3D structure No similar sequence is identified Homology modelling Fold recognition no yes ? ? 3D structure
Homology modelling Main steps 1.Identify the protein with known structure, the template, related to the target protein 2. Align the target sequence to the known structure 3. Build the model (1.) and (2.) are very crucial step
Homology modelling Building the model MODELLING THE WHOLE FOLD 1. Rigid-body assembly 2. Spare-parts approach 3. Satisfaction of spatial restraints MODELLING LOOPS 1. Database search of segments fitting fixed end-points 2. Molecular mechanics, molecular dynamics 3. Combination of 1+2 MODELLING SIDE CHAIN CONFORMATIONS 1.Use of rotamer libraries (backbone dependent) 2. Molecular mechanics optimization 3. Mean-field methods
Modeling loops KELV---------LVLYDY QEKSPRELSQTI KKGDILTLLN STNKDWWKVE KDLVGNDRLVLYDY QDKSIREL-----TI KTGDILTLLN STQKDWWKVH Insertions/deletions: loops of target and template are of different lengths, Different length loops, with different structures Backbone structure of loops needs to be modelled
Modeling loops 1. Database search for segments from known protein structures fitting fixed end-points 2. Molecular mechanics, molecular dynamics 3. Combination of 1+2
Model conformations of side chains -Model side chains of residues that differ in seq. between the target and template -Re-model side chains of residues with same seq. as in target
Modelling side chain conformations 1.Use of side chain conformations in known protein structures 2. Molecular mechanics optimization 3. Mean-field methods -Rotamer libraries -Dead-End Elimination (heuristic) -Monte-Carlo (heuristic) -Branch & Bound (exact)
Modelling side chain conformations A combinatorial problem residue position protein backbone -8 0 -14 0 -5 +5 all rotamers of at this position rotamer selected for this position
Modelling side chain conformations Backbone usually limits rotamer conformational freedom

Homology modelling How accurate need your model be? Accurate for what? Define the precise goal of your modelling study - Design ligand that bind specifically - Rationalise functional differences relative to related proteins - Rationalise effect of mutations - Identify surface that binds a cognate molecules? - Analyse surface properties Active site defined to < 1Å rmsd Mutation/binding region ~1Å rmsd model globally correct Model accuracy/reliability is highly dependent on the sequence identity level between target & template see discussion: http://www.expasy.ch/swissmod/SM_LikelyPrecision.html
Homology modelling Widely used homology modelling servers/programs -Swiss-Model (E. Peitsch, Glaxo,Geneva) http://www.expasy.ch/swissmod/SWISS-MODEL.html -Modeller (A. Sali/Rockefeller U. USA) http://guitar.rockefeller.edu/modeller/modeller.html Other homology modelling servers/programs -3D-Jigsaw (M. Sternberg, ICRF, UK) http://www.bmm.icnet.uk/people/paulb/3dj/form.html
Homology modelling Remaining problems/bottlenecks? -identifying an adequate template -orthologs/analogs -obtaining the correct alignment -simple sequence alignments, not enough, need for multiple alignments, HMM? -modelling loops
