Prediction of structures of multidomain proteins from structures of the individual domains.

ABSTRACT: We describe the development of a method for assembling structures of multidomain proteins from structures of isolated domains. The method consists of an initial low-resolution search in which the conformational space of the domain linker is explored using the Rosetta de novo structure prediction method, followed by a high-resolution search in which all atoms are treated explicitly and backbone and side chain degrees of freedom are simultaneously optimized. The method recapitulates, often with very high accuracy, the structures of existing multidomain proteins.

Structure prediction of domain insertion proteins from structures of individual domains.

Project description:Multidomain proteins continue to be a major challenge in protein structure prediction. Here we present a Monte Carlo (MC) algorithm, implemented within Rosetta, to predict the structure of proteins in which one domain is inserted into another. Three MC moves combine rigid-body and loop movements to search the constrained conformation by structure disruption and subsequent repair of chain breaks. Local searches find that the algorithm samples and recovers near-native structures consistently. Further global searches produced top-ranked structures within 5 A in 31 of 50 cases in low-resolution mode, and refinement of top-ranked low-resolution structures produced models within 2 A in 21 of 50 cases. Rigid-body orientations were often correctly recovered despite errors in linker conformation. The algorithm is broadly applicable to de novo structure prediction of both naturally occurring and engineered domain insertion proteins.

Understanding pathogenic single-nucleotide polymorphisms in multidomain proteins--studies of isolated domains are not enough.

Project description:Studying the effects of pathogenic mutations is more complex in multidomain proteins when compared with single domains: mutations occurring at domain boundaries may have a large effect on a neighbouring domain that will not be detected in a single-domain system. To demonstrate this, we present a study that utilizes well-characterized model protein domains from human spectrin to investigate the effect of disease- and non-disease-causing single point mutations occurring at the boundaries of human spectrin repeats. Our results show that mutations in the single domains have no clear correlation with stability and disease; however, when studied in a tandem model system, the disease-causing mutations are shown to disrupt stabilizing interactions that exist between domains. This results in a much larger decrease in stability than would otherwise have been predicted, and demonstrates the importance of studying such mutations in the correct protein context.

Multidomain Assembler (MDA) Generates Models of Large Multidomain Proteins.

Project description:Homology modeling predicts protein structures using known structures of related proteins as templates. We developed MULTIDOMAIN ASSEMBLER (MDA) to address the special problems that arise when modeling proteins with large numbers of domains, such as fibronectin with 30 domains, as well as cases with hundreds of templates. These problems include how to spatially arrange nonoverlapping template structures, and how to get the best template coverage when some sequence regions have hundreds of available structures while other regions have a few distant homologs. MDA automates the tasks of template searching, visualization, and selection followed by multidomain model generation, and is part of the widely used molecular graphics package UCSF CHIMERA (University of California, San Francisco). We demonstrate applications and discuss MDA's benefits and limitations.

Multidomain proteins under force.

Project description:Advancements in single-molecule force spectroscopy techniques such as atomic force microscopy and magnetic tweezers allow investigation of how domain folding under force can play a physiological role. Combining these techniques with protein engineering and HaloTag covalent attachment, we investigate similarities and differences between four model proteins: I10 and I91-two immunoglobulin-like domains from the muscle protein titin, and two ? + ? fold proteins-ubiquitin and protein L. These proteins show a different mechanical response and have unique extensions under force. Remarkably, when normalized to their contour length, the size of the unfolding and refolding steps as a function of force reduces to a single master curve. This curve can be described using standard models of polymer elasticity, explaining the entropic nature of the measured steps. We further validate our measurements with a simple energy landscape model, which combines protein folding with polymer physics and accounts for the complex nature of tandem domains under force. This model can become a useful tool to help in deciphering the complexity of multidomain proteins operating under force.

Gene3D: Extensive prediction of globular domains in proteins.

Project description:Gene3D (http://gene3d.biochem.ucl.ac.uk) is a database of globular domain annotations for millions of available protein sequences. Gene3D has previously featured in the Database issue of NAR and here we report a significant update to the Gene3D database. The current release, Gene3D v16, has significantly expanded its domain coverage over the previous version and now contains over 95 million domain assignments. We also report a new method for dealing with complex domain architectures that exist in Gene3D, arising from discontinuous domains. Amongst other updates, we have added visualization tools for exploring domain annotations in the context of other sequence features and in gene families. We also provide web-pages to visualize other domain families that co-occur with a given query domain family.

StoneHinge: hinge prediction by network analysis of individual protein structures.

Project description:Hinge motions are important for molecular recognition, and knowledge of their location can guide the sampling of protein conformations for docking. Predicting domains and intervening hinges is also important for identifying structurally self-determinate units and anticipating the influence of mutations on protein flexibility and stability. Here we present StoneHinge, a novel approach for predicting hinges between domains using input from two complementary analyses of noncovalent bond networks: StoneHingeP, which identifies domain-hinge-domain signatures in ProFlex constraint counting results, and StoneHingeD, which does the same for DomDecomp Gaussian network analyses. Predictions for the two methods are compared to hinges defined in the literature and by visual inspection of interpolated motions between conformations in a series of proteins. For StoneHingeP, all the predicted hinges agree with hinge sites reported in the literature or observed visually, although some predictions include extra residues. Furthermore, no hinges are predicted in six hinge-free proteins. On the other hand, StoneHingeD tends to overpredict the number of hinges, while accurately pinpointing hinge locations. By determining the consensus of their results, StoneHinge improves the specificity, predicting 11 of 13 hinges found both visually and in the literature for nine different open protein structures, and making no false-positive predictions. By comparison, a popular hinge detection method that requires knowledge of both the open and closed conformations finds 10 of the 13 known hinges, while predicting four additional, false hinges.

Studying the folding of multidomain proteins.

Project description:There have been relatively few detailed comprehensive studies of the folding of protein domains (or modules) in the context of their natural covalently linked neighbors. This is despite the fact that a significant proportion of the proteome consists of multidomain proteins. In this review we highlight some key experimental investigations of the folding of multidomain proteins to draw attention to the difficulties that can arise in analyzing such systems. The evidence suggests that interdomain interactions can significantly affect stability, folding, and unfolding rates. However, preliminary studies suggest that folding pathways are unaffected-to this extent domains can be truly considered to be independent folding units. Nonetheless, it is clear that interactions between domains cannot be ignored, in particular when considering the effects of mutations.

Conformational landscape of multidomain SMAD proteins.

Project description:SMAD transcription factors, the main effectors of the TGFβ (transforming growth factor β) network, have a mixed architecture of globular domains and flexible linkers. Such a complicated architecture precluded the description of their full-length (FL) structure for many years. In this study, we unravel the structures of SMAD4 and SMAD2 proteins through an integrative approach combining Small-angle X-ray scattering, Nuclear Magnetic Resonance spectroscopy, X-ray, and computational modeling. We show that both proteins populate ensembles of conformations, with the globular domains tethered by disordered and flexible linkers, which defines a new dimension of regulation. The flexibility of the linkers facilitates DNA and protein binding and modulates the protein structure. Yet, SMAD4FL is monomeric, whereas SMAD2FL is in different monomer-dimer-trimer states, driven by interactions of the MH2 domains. Dimers are present regardless of the SMAD2FL activation state and concentration. Finally, we propose that SMAD2FL dimers are key building blocks for the quaternary structures of SMAD complexes.

Apparent cooperativity in the folding of multidomain proteins depends on the relative rates of folding of the constituent domains.

Project description:Approximately 75% of eukaryotic proteins contain more than one so-called independently folding domain. However, there have been relatively few systematic studies to investigate the effect of interdomain interactions on protein stability and fewer still on folding kinetics. We present the folding of pairs of three-helix bundle spectrin domains as a paradigm to indicate how complex such an analysis can be. Equilibrium studies show an increase in denaturant concentration required to unfold the domains with only a single unfolding transition; however, in some cases, this is not accompanied by the increase in m value, which would be expected if the protein is a truly cooperative, all-or-none system. We analyze the complex kinetics of spectrin domain pairs, both wild-type and carefully selected mutants. By comparing these pairs, we are able to demonstrate that equilibrium data alone are insufficient to describe the folding of multidomain proteins and to quantify the effects that one domain can have on its neighbor.

Assembling multidomain protein structures through analogous global structural alignments.

Project description:Most proteins exist with multiple domains in cells for cooperative functionality. However, structural biology and protein folding methods are often optimized for single-domain structures, resulting in a rapidly growing gap between the improved capability for tertiary structure determination and high demand for multidomain structure models. We have developed a pipeline, termed DEMO, for constructing multidomain protein structures by docking-based domain assembly simulations, with interdomain orientations determined by the distance profiles from analogous templates as detected through domain-level structure alignments. The pipeline was tested on a comprehensive benchmark set of 356 proteins consisting of 2-7 continuous and discontinuous domains, for which DEMO generated models with correct global fold (TM-score > 0.5) for 86% of cases with continuous domains and for 100% of cases with discontinuous domain structures, starting from randomly oriented target-domain structures. DEMO was also applied to reassemble multidomain targets in the CASP12 and CASP13 experiments using domain structures excised from the top server predictions, where the full-length DEMO models showed a significantly improved quality over the original server models. Finally, sparse restraints of mass spectrometry-generated cross-linking data and cryo-EM density maps are incorporated into DEMO, resulting in improvements in the average TM-score by 6.3% and 12.5%, respectively. The results demonstrate an efficient approach to assembling multidomain structures, which can be easily used for automated, genome-scale multidomain protein structure assembly.
