5 Concepts 1. "Sequence" and "structure" are abstractions of biopolymers. 2. Structure can be determined experimentally. 3. Structure abstractions can be stored, retrieved and visualized. 4. Knowledge of structure allows mechanistic explanations. 5. Structure is not arbitrary, but comes in units - motifs, helices, strands, domains and complexes. 6. Domains are folding units, functional units and units of inheritance
6 Concept 1: "Sequence" and "structure" are abstractions of biopolymers
7 Physical Amino Acids and Amino Acid Abstractions Formula: C 9 H 9 NO 2 Smiles String : [CH]([NH][R])([C](=[O])[R]) [CH2]- [c]1([ch][ch][c]([ch][ch]1)[ OH]) Name: Tyrosine 3-Letter: Tyr 1-Letter: Y N O OH ATOM 1091 N TYR ATOM 1092 CA TYR ATOM 1093 C TYR ATOM 1094 O TYR ATOM 1095 CB TYR ATOM 1096 CG TYR ATOM 1097 CD1 TYR ATOM 1098 CD2 TYR ATOM 1099 CE1 TYR ATOM 1100 CE2 TYR ATOM 1101 CZ TYR ATOM 1102 OH TYR

12 Structural Abstraction To store structures we need: - coordinate - topology, and z e y g d x b Sulphur Carbon Oxygen Nitrogen - chemical type a information. Met
13 Concept 2: Structure can be determined experimentally
14 Experimental sources of structure X-ray NMR Crystallization required Diffraction Æ data collection The phase problem: MAD, heavy metal isomorphic derivatives or "Molecular replacement" give phase approximations Model building in electron density maps Refinement
15 Experimental sources of structure X-ray Crystallization is limiting. Diffraction is not imaging! Refinement is required. NMR Data Model
16 Experimental sources of structure X-ray NMR High concentration required ( ~ 1mM) Assignment of peaks determination of crosspeaks Æ distance constraints Calculation of models from distance constraints Refinement
17 Experimental sources of structure X-ray Ensemble of structures that are compatible with experimental distance constraints Consensus model 1DRO.PDB NMR Concentration/Solubility Assignment and NOEs Refinement
18 Assessing structure quality Metrics: Resolution, R-factor and R-free Bond length and angle deviations Coordinate error can be estimated from diffraction data Programs Whatcheck and Procheck calculate quality metrics: (also NMR) Rules of thumb for "good structures": Resolution 2Å, R-factor 20%, mean coordinate error 0.2 Å, RMSD bond-lengts: 0.02Å
19 Concept 3: Structure abstractions can be stored, retrieved and visualized
20 The PDB The PDB is the primary repository of protein structure data
21 What s in a Structure File? Population experiments X-ray, 1 structure NMR - sometimes many structures Incomplete - not all atoms are there Hydrogens, parts of the protein in motion Crystallographic space correct, but not always relevant
22 The PDB format Flat file, column oriented Human readable Human editable Huge legacy problems Flat File: A datafile without indexing structure or hierarchy. In contrast, to relational database, or data grammar

25 Atom Pitfalls: Atomname is a mix of Chemical element and bond distance. "CA.." ".CA." Atom number Sequence number is actually a string - Chain and insertion code are required to make it unique (e.g B 123A). Amino acid type X Y Z Occ ATOM 119 CA ARG IMM 179 Atom name Sequence number B (Temperature factors) Record type PDB format is strictly column oriented!

27 The crystallographic asymmetric units does not necessarily contain a functional molecule 1qpi.pdb Tet-repressor/operator complex The contents of a crystal lattice unit cell can be generated from the asymmetric unit by applying the required symmetry operations for the crystallographic space-group. But neither is this trivial for the non-crystallographer, nor is it obvious which of the symmetry replicates might make physiological contacts
28 ... Biological Unit PQS reasons automatically about how a monomer might be correctly completed to a functional biomolecular complex (and is often correct)
29 NCBI structure group MMDB - very well integrated but somewhat impenetrable
30 NDB urx035.pdb (Hammerhead Ribozyme)
31 PDBsum - and "secondary" structure databases
32 PDBsum - Information
33 Others Macromolecular Structure Database at EBI (Relibase, PQS...) Macromolecular structure related resources at the PDB Structure links at the Southwestern Biotechnology and Informatics Center Molecular Models from Chemistry Molecular Library many, many more
34 Concept 4: Knowledge of structure allows mechanistic explanations
35 Structure as an integrated map - Example questions Which part of my structure appears to be conserved? Are two functionally important residues possibly in contact? Where is Asn220 relative to the active site? May the mutation E123A possibly have something to do with protein stability? Is Leu234 on the surface, or in the core? I want to clone my protein into a yeast two-hybrid system: should I fuse the DNA binding domain to the N- or the C- terminus?
36 Geometric relationships Bonds Angles, plain and dihedral Surfaces Chemical potential, amino acid functions Static and dynamic disorder Structural similarity Electrostatics Conservation patterns (structural and functional) Quarternary structure Posttranslational modification sites Unexpected homology [...]
37 Distances from coordinates XYZ coordinates are vectors in an orthogonal coordinate system, in Å. All the rules of analytical geometry apply. [...] ATOM 687 OH TYR [...] ATOM 651 O ASP [...] d = [( ) 2 + ( ) 2 + ( ) 2 ] 0.5 = [(2.581) 2 + (-0.013) 2 + (-0.412) 2 ] 0.5 = [ ] 0.5 = [ ] 0.5 = Å = nm = m
38 Dihedral angles i i+1 i+3 i+2 +f Single bonds: Freely rotable, but constrained by steric overlap. Small energetic barrier, preference for staggered conformations. Double bonds: Constrained to planar geometry. Large energetic barrier to isomerization
39 y f w Backbone dihedral angles: Ramachandran plots Rotatable bonds in the backbone are named f,y and w. Due to steric overlap, not all combinations of (f,y) are allowed. Allowed and forbidden regions of (f,y) space are shown on the Ramachandran plot. Observed (f,y) values reflect the theoretical boundaries well
40 Sidechain rotamers c 3 c 2 c 1 Ponder & Richards (1987) J. Mol. Biol. 193, randomly chosen Phe-residues superimposed
41 H-bond patterns Example: TYR - Side Chain Donor OH can donate a single hydrogen (The OH-H bond is 1.00Å long and lies in the plane of CE1, CE2, CZ and OH forming an angle of 110 degrees with the CZ-OH bond.) Distribution of H-bond counts in all and buried residues, D-A distances, H-A distances and D-H-A angles intyr sidechains. Tyr-Thr sidechain H-bond: despite canonical geometry, correct topology may be ambiguous! McDonald & Thornton (1994) J. Mol. Biol. 238,
42 Molecular surface Chain "A" of 1AON.PDB - GroEL/ES complex Surface rendering of GroEL/ES complex (D. Goodsell)
43 Molecular surface Surface provides a visual metaphore, and a useful tool to map properties. But how can a molecular surface be defined? Obviously, the hard-sphere surface is chemically not very relevant. Van der Waals surface
44 Molecular surface r = 1.4Å Probe! Van der Waals surface
45 Molecular surface Contact surface Accessible surface "Accessible" Van der Waals surface "Buried" Reentrant surface
46 Calculating solvent accessible surfaces 1. Draw a sphere around each atom, with a radius of (VdW + solvent probe ). 2. Erase all overlapping sphere surfaces. 3. The remaining area is the accessible surface. r = 1.4Å C: 1.75 Å N: 1.55 O: 1.4Å H: 1.17Å
47 Parameters and assumptions Problem: Analytical solution inefficient. Solution: Numerical solution with probe points Problem: Regular placement of n probe points Solution: Stochastic placement Problem: Stochastic placement quite irregular Solution: Enforce minimum separation Problem: Efficiency Solution: Place points only once, translate as needed Problem: What is a good value for n? Solution: Try different n, evaluate standard deviation Problem: Should n be constant per atom, or per area? Solution: dots/area - need to scale dots with r VdW Problem: Hydrogens - where to get united atom radii? Solution: Literature search. Problem: Reference areas for relative SAA needed Solution: Model explicitely, as tripeptides [...] u,v Œ [0,1] q = 2p u f = cos -1 (2v 1) SpherePointPicking.html Even a straightforward algorithm has it's hidden parameters and assumptions. Results are meaningful only in this context. Any comparison is problematic
48 Mapping properties on surfaces Properties of atoms (B-factors) Ensemble properties of residues (hydrophobicity, conservation) Geometry (local curvature) Fields and potentials (isosurfaces, binding potential) AChE (1ACL.PDB) color coded by electrostatic potential with GRASP. ( columbia.edu/grasp/)
49 Concept 5: Structure is not arbitrary, but contains recurring units
50 Basic building blocks of structure: Eg. PROMOTIF - as used in PDBSUM But: classical descriptions of structural building blocks are as much based on idealized concepts of geometry as on observations of nature. An unbiased analysis may arrive at significantly different classifications!
51 Unbiased structure motifs: alignment with added value Motif alignments... Why are particular amino acids conserved? What is essential in a sequence? A structure motif consensus sequence, compiled from unrelated segments, averages out features of conservation that are only due to incomplete divergence (homology). A consensus sequence, taken from different structural contexts, averages out features of sequence that are due to specific functional (binding, catalysis) or non-local structural requirements (packing, interaction). What remains is information about sequence propensities of local structural elements
52 A schematikon motif example: complex loop 3.8 1icf_I_215_0_7 Support = 7 against nrdb distribution Motif: 1icf 215 Length: 7 Support: 7 Unique: 7 Rank: Position
53 A schematikon motif example: strand N-cap 3.8 1whi_0_35_0_4 Support = 23 against nrdb distribution Motif: 1whi 35 Length: 4 Support: 7 Unique: 7 Rank: Position
54 Concept 6: Domains are folding units, functional units, and units of inheritance
55 Domains are ubiquitous in proteins Large proteins are composed of compact, semi-independent units - domains. Reason: Modularity Folding efficiency 2MCP.PDB
56 Domains in proteins: Number of domains in 787 representative proteins used as the basis for the CATH database Jones S et al. (1998) Protein Science 7:
57 Domains in proteins: Non-random relationship between domain number and chain length in the 787 representative proteins used as the basis for the CATH database Jones S et al. (1998) Protein Science 7:
58 Domains in proteins: Domain size in the 787 representative proteins used as the basis for the CATH database Jones S et al. (1998) Protein Science 7:
59 There is no universal definition of "domains" Possible definitions are based on independently inherited (sub)sequences (sequence domain), modular protein functions (functional domain), folding unit or atomic contacts (structural domain). Domain: A part of structure that can fold irrespective of the presence of other parts of structure But: what is measured is commonly sequence, function, or structure - NOT FOLDING!
60 Further complications: Analogous structure, Domain insertions, Circular permutations, Domain swapping. Domain insertion 1A2J.PDB Protein disulfide isomerase 2TRX.PDB Thioredoxin
61 Further complications: Analogous structure, Domain insertions, Circular permutations, Domain swapping ERQ.PDB beta lactamase Circular permutation 1ALQ.PDB beta lactamase
62 Further complications: Analogous structure, Domain insertions, Circular permutations, Domain swapping. Domain swapping 11BG.PDB Bull seminal ribonuclease
63 Domains can be elusive: The separation of a structure into domains requires the arbitrary definition of thresholds in a continuum of possibilities
64 Why care? Function: evolution works on sequence, but selects function. Definition of domains in structure can uncover functional units that may evolve independently. Sequence searches, alignments etc. with domains are much more specific. Once structural domains have been defined, sequence profiles, HMMs or other computational procedures can be used to pick out more members of the domain family from the database. Domains can be defined from sequence patterns, or from the analyis of structure
65 Automated (objective) domain definition: - Sequence (CDD) CDD from Smart and Pfam CDART from CDD and Genbank
66 SemiAutomated consensus domain definition: - Structure (CATH) Dehydrolipoamide dehydrogenase 1LPFA: Jones S et al. (1998) Domain assignment for protein structures using a consensus approach: Chracterization and analysis. Protein Science 7:

74 Bioinformaticians apparently do not like structure! Sequence: Discrete alphabet Easy to manipulate Well developed datastructures Well developed libraries Structure: Continuous space Linear algebra, complicated energy functions Databases and datastructures are difficult Paucity of libraries Meet the challenge!
