Annotation transfer by homology
• Status quo approach to protein function prediction
– Given a gene (or protein) of unknown function
• Run BLAST to find homologs
• Identify the top BLAST hit(s)
• If the score is significant, transfer the annotation
– If resources permit, predict domains using PFAM or CDD
• Problems:
– Approach fails completely for ~30% of genes
– Of those with annotations, only 3% have any supporting experimental evidence
• 97% have had functions predicted by homology alone*
– High error rate
* Based on analysis of >300K proteins in the UniProt database
Database annotation errors
Main sources of annotation errors:
Sub-functionalization 1. Domain shuffling
Neo-functionalization 2. Gene duplication (failure to discriminate
between orthologs and paralogs)
3. Existing database annotation errors
Propagation of existing
database annotation errors
Errors in gene structure
Galperin and Koonin, “Sources of systematic error in functional annotation of genomes: domain rearrangement,
non-orthologous gene displacement and operon disruption.”In Silico Biol. 1998
Tomato Cf-2 Bioinformatics Analysis
Domain fusion and fission events complicate function
prediction by homology, particularly for particularly
common domains (e.g., LRR regions).
Domain structure analysis (e.g., PFAM) is often critical.

Phylogenetic reconstruction of
protein families is complicated
• Gene duplication
• Domain shuffling
• Lessening of evolutionary pressures associated with speciation
and duplication enable significant structural and sequence
changes
• Different mutation rates in some lineages
• Different types of constraints at some positions
• Multiple sequence alignment errors
• What members to include? (Some families contain thousands of
members)
Caveats
• Sequence “signal” guides the alignment
• If the signal is weak, the alignment can be poor
• As proteins diverge from a common ancestor, their structures
and functions can change
– Even structural superposition can be challenging!
• Repeats, domain shuffling, large insertions or deletions can
introduce alignment errors
• If tree construction is the aim, errors in the alignment will affect
tree accuracy!

Not all positions in a molecule
are created equal
Light-blue positions are variable
across subfamilies – but can be
very conserved within subfamilies.
These are the hallmarks of binding
pockets determining substrate
specificity.

When each class, A, B and C appear equally similar to each other, the coarse
branching order can be difficult to determine. In this case, it’s critical to be
able to weight the subfamily-defining residues as more important when
computing the distance between classes.

SATCHMO: Simultaneous Alignment and

SATCHMO motivation
• Structural divergence within a superfamily means that…
– Multiple sequence alignment (MSA) is hard
– Alignable positions varies according to degree of divergence
• Current MSA methods not designed to handle this variability
• Assume globally alignable, all columns (e.g. ClustalW)…
– Over-aligns, i.e. aligns regions that are not superposable
• …or identify and align only highly conserved positions (profile
HMMs)
– Discards information important for subfamily specificity
• Reality
– Different degrees of alignability in different sequence pairs, different
regions
Agglomerative clustering
Algorithm:
Initialize all objects to be separate classes (leaves in the
tree).
Join “closest” classes (connecting each by edges to a
node).
Compute distance between new class and other
classes.
Join closest two classes.
Iterate until all classes are joined into one class (a tree)
SATCHMO output
1. Tree
•
•
Cluster based on structural “distance”
Built simultaneously with alignments
2. Multiple sequence alignments
•
Different alignment for each cluster
(=each node in tree)
3. Prediction of alignable / non-alignable regions
•
1,2,3 mutually dependent, inform each other
– Interact each time two clusters are combined
Note: we can assess alignment quality, but assessment of tree
topology accuracy is not straightforward to estimate.
SATCHMO algorithm:
Progressive profile-profile alignment
• Typical state: set of subtrees
– Cluster (=subtree) contains
• alignment of all subtree sequences
• profile HMM
– Initialization: each sequence forms a leaf in tree
• Iterated step
– Find most closely related pair of subtrees (using HMM scoring)
– Align the MSAs of the two clusters using profile-profile alignment…
– …treats MSA column as single “letter”, keeps columns intact
– Result: new cluster with its own MSA
– Predict “alignable” columns, and build profile HMM (w/Dirichlet mixture
densities).

Summary
• SATCHMO is designed to provide for the
assumption of ‘positional homology’ during the
tree estimation process
• This assumption -- that we can predict the
structurally equivalent positions from sequence
information alone -- needs to be tested
• We need a benchmark dataset to evaluate
phylogenetic tree topology estimation
