Computing for Bioinformatics Lecture 8: protein folding Problem description ● ● ● ● Definition: Given the amino acid sequence of a protein, what is the protein's structure in three dimension? Importance: The structure of a protein provides a key to understanding its biological function. Assumption: The amino acid sequence contains all information about the native 3-D structure. Thermodynamic principle: (Christian Anfinsen's denaturation-renaturation experiments on ribonuclease.) If one changes the solvent condition, the protein will undergo a transition from the native state to an unfolded state and become inactive. When solvent condition is changed back, the protein refolds and becomes active again. Methods of 3D structure determination ● Experimental approaches: expensive, slow ➢ Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) ➢ X-ray crystallography ● ● Today we have much more sequenced proteins than protein’s structures. The gap is rapidly increasing. Protein structure prediction is becoming increasingly important. Protein Structure • Primary structure – sequence of amino acids constituting polypeptide chain • Secondary structure – local organization of polypeptide chain into secondary structures such as -helices and -sheets • Tertiary structure –three dimensional arrangements of amino acids as they react to one another due to polarity and interactions between side chains • Quaternary structure – Interaction of several protein subunits Amino acids • Hydrophobic: Glycine(G), Alanine(A), Valine(V), phenylalanine (F), Proline (P), Methionine (M), isoleucine (I), Leucine(L), Tryptophan (W) • Charged: Aspartic acid (D), Glutamic Acid (E), Lysine (K), Arginine (R), Histidine (H) • Polar: Serine (S), Theronine (T), Tyrosine (Y); Histidine (H), Cysteine (C), Asparagine (N), Glutamine (Q), Tryptophan (W) Types of Secondary Structures Sheets ● -Helices ●Loops ● – Image source: http://www.ebi.ac.uk/microarray/biology_intro.html Helix – Most abundant secondary structure – 3.6 amino acids per turn – Hydrogen bond formed between every fourth reside – Average length: 10 amino acids, or 3 turns – Varies from 5 to 40 amino acids Helix • Every third amino acid tends to be hydrophobic • Rich in alanine (A), gutamic acid (E), leucine (L), and methionine (M) • Poor in proline (P), glycine (G), tyrosine (Y), and serine (S) Sheet Image source: http://broccoli.mfn.ki.se/pps_course_96/ss_960723_12.html; http://www4.ocn.ne.jp/~bio/biology/protein.htm Sheet • Hydrogen bonds between 5-10 consecutive amino acids in one portion of the chain with another 5-10 farther down the chain • Interacting regions may be adjacent with a short loop, or far apart with other structures in between – Directions: • Same: Parallel Sheet • Opposite: Anti-parallel Sheet • Mixed: Mixed Sheet – Pattern of hydrogen bond formation in parallel and anti-parallel sheets is different Interactions in Helices and Sheets Loops • Regions between helices and sheets • Various lengths and three-dimensional configurations • Located on surface of the structure • More variable sequence structure • Tend to have charged and polar amino acids • Frequently a component of active sites Classes of Protein Structure The classes are made based on the percentages of secondary structure components. 1) Class :: bundles of -helices connected by loops on surface of proteins 2) Class : antiparallel sheets, usually two sheets in close contact forming sandwich 3) Class / : mainly parallel sheets with intervening helices; may also have mixed sheets (metabolic enzymes) 4) Class + : mainly segregated -helices and antiparallel sheets Class Protein (hemoglobin) Class Protein (T-Cell CD8) / Class Protein (tryptohan synthase) + Class Protein (1RNB) Protein structure database • Databases of three dimensional structures of proteins, where structure has been solved using X-ray or NMR techniques • Protein Databases: – PDB – SCOP – Swiss-Prot – PIR • Most extensive for 3-D structure is the Protein Data Bank (PDB). • Current release of PDB (April 8, 2003) has 20,622 structures Partial PDB File ATOM 162 ATOM 163 ATOM 164 ATOM 165 ATOM 166 ATOM 167 ATOM 168 ATOM 169 ATOM 170 ATOM 171 ATOM 172 1 N VAL A 1 6.452 16.459 4.843 7.00 47.38 3HHB 2 CA VAL A 1 7.060 17.792 4.760 6.00 48.47 3HHB 3 C VAL A 1 8.561 17.703 5.038 6.00 37.13 3HHB 4 O VAL A 1 8.992 17.182 6.072 8.00 36.25 3HHB 5 CB VAL A 1 6.342 18.738 5.727 6.00 55.13 3HHB 6 CG1 VAL A 1 7.114 20.033 5.993 6.00 54.30 3HHB 7 CG2 VAL A 1 4.924 19.032 5.232 6.00 64.75 3HHB 8 N LEU A 2 9.333 18.209 4.095 7.00 30.18 3HHB 9 CA LEU A 2 10.785 18.159 4.237 6.00 35.60 3HHB 10 C LEU A 2 11.247 19.305 5.133 6.00 35.47 3HHB 11 O LEU A 2 11.017 20.477 4.819 8.00 37.64 3HHB Description of PDB File • second column: amino acid position in the polypeptide chain • fourth column: current amino acid • Columns 7, 8, and 9: x, y, and z coordinates (in angstroms) • The 11th column: temperature factor -- can be used as a measurement of uncertainty Visualization of Proteins • Most popular program for viewing 3-dimensional structures is Rasmol Rasmol: http://www.umass.edu/microbio/rasmol/ Chime: http://www.umass.edu/microbio/chime/ Cn3D: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/Structure/ Mage: http://kinemage.biochem.duke.edu/website/kinhome.html Swiss 3D viewer: http://www.expasy.ch/spdbv/mainpage.html
