3DLigandSite: predicting ligand-binding sites using similar structures.

ABSTRACT: 3DLigandSite is a web server for the prediction of ligand-binding sites. It is based upon successful manual methods used in the eighth round of the Critical Assessment of techniques for protein Structure Prediction (CASP8). 3DLigandSite utilizes protein-structure prediction to provide structural models for proteins that have not been solved. Ligands bound to structures similar to the query are superimposed onto the model and used to predict the binding site. In benchmarking against the CASP8 targets 3DLigandSite obtains a Matthew's correlation co-efficient (MCC) of 0.64, and coverage and accuracy of 71 and 60%, respectively, similar results to our manual performance in CASP8. In further benchmarking using a large set of protein structures, 3DLigandSite obtains an MCC of 0.68. The web server enables users to submit either a query sequence or structure. Predictions are visually displayed via an interactive Jmol applet. 3DLigandSite is available for use at http://www.sbg.bio.ic.ac.uk/3dligandsite.

Using multiple microenvironments to find similar ligand-binding sites: application to kinase inhibitor binding.

Project description:The recognition of cryptic small-molecular binding sites in protein structures is important for understanding off-target side effects and for recognizing potential new indications for existing drugs. Current methods focus on the geometry and detailed chemical interactions within putative binding pockets, but may not recognize distant similarities where dynamics or modified interactions allow one ligand to bind apparently divergent binding pockets. In this paper, we introduce an algorithm that seeks similar microenvironments within two binding sites, and assesses overall binding site similarity by the presence of multiple shared microenvironments. The method has relatively weak geometric requirements (to allow for conformational change or dynamics in both the ligand and the pocket) and uses multiple biophysical and biochemical measures to characterize the microenvironments (to allow for diverse modes of ligand binding). We term the algorithm PocketFEATURE, since it focuses on pockets using the FEATURE system for characterizing microenvironments. We validate PocketFEATURE first by showing that it can better discriminate sites that bind similar ligands from those that do not, and by showing that we can recognize FAD-binding sites on a proteome scale with Area Under the Curve (AUC) of 92%. We then apply PocketFEATURE to evolutionarily distant kinases, for which the method recognizes several proven distant relationships, and predicts unexpected shared ligand binding. Using experimental data from ChEMBL and Ambit, we show that at high significance level, 40 kinase pairs are predicted to share ligands. Some of these pairs offer new opportunities for inhibiting two proteins in a single pathway.

Predicting small ligand binding sites in proteins using backbone structure.

Project description:MotivationSpecific non-covalent binding of metal ions and ligands, such as nucleotides and cofactors, is essential for the function of many proteins. Computational methods are useful for predicting the location of such binding sites when experimental information is lacking. Methods that use structural information, when available, are particularly promising since they can potentially identify non-contiguous binding motifs that cannot be found using only the amino acid sequence. Furthermore, a prediction method that can utilize low-resolution models is advantageous because high-resolution structures are available for only a relatively small fraction of proteins.ResultsSitePredict is a machine learning-based method for predicting binding sites in protein structures for specific metal ions or small molecules. The method uses Random Forest classifiers trained on diverse residue-based site properties including spatial clustering of residue types and evolutionary conservation. SitePredict was tested by cross-validation on a set of known binding sites for six different metal ions and five different small molecules in a non-redundant set of protein-ligand complex structures. The prediction performance was good for all ligands considered, as reflected by AUC values of at least 0.8. Furthermore, a more realistic test on unbound structures showed only a slight decrease in the accuracy. The properties that contribute the most to the prediction accuracy of each ligand were also examined. Finally, examples of predicted binding sites in homology models and uncharacterized proteins are discussed.AvailabilityBinding site prediction results for all PDB protein structures and human protein homology models are available at http://sitepredict.org/.

Prediction of ligand binding sites using homologous structures and conservation at CASP8.

Project description:The critical assessment of protein structure prediction experiment is a blind assessment of the prediction of protein structure and related topics including function prediction. We present our results in the function/binding site prediction category. Our approach to identify binding sites combined the use of the predicted structure of the targets with both residue conservation and the location of ligands bound to homologous structures. We obtained an average coverage of 83% and 56% accuracy. Analysis of our predictions suggests that over-prediction reduces the accuracy obtained due to large areas of conservation around the binding site that do not bind the ligand. In some proteins such conserved residues may have a functional role. A server version of our method will soon be available.

LIGSITEcsc: predicting ligand binding sites using the Connolly surface and degree of conservation.

Project description:BackgroundIdentifying pockets on protein surfaces is of great importance for many structure-based drug design applications and protein-ligand docking algorithms. Over the last ten years, many geometric methods for the prediction of ligand-binding sites have been developed.ResultsWe present LIGSITEcsc, an extension and implementation of the LIGSITE algorithm. LIGSITEcsc is based on the notion of surface-solvent-surface events and the degree of conservation of the involved surface residues. We compare our algorithm to four other approaches, LIGSITE, CAST, PASS, and SURFNET, and evaluate all on a dataset of 48 unbound/bound structures and 210 bound-structures. LIGSITEcsc performs slightly better than the other tools and achieves a success rate of 71% and 75%, respectively.ConclusionThe use of the Connolly surface leads to slight improvements, the prediction re-ranking by conservation to significant improvements of the binding site predictions. A web server for LIGSITEcsc and its source code is available at scoppi.biotec.tu-dresden.de/pocket

MPLs-Pred: Predicting Membrane Protein-Ligand Binding Sites Using Hybrid Sequence-Based Features and Ligand-Specific Models.

Project description:Membrane proteins (MPs) are involved in many essential biomolecule mechanisms as a pivotal factor in enabling the small molecule and signal transport between the two sides of the biological membrane; this is the reason that a large portion of modern medicinal drugs target MPs. Therefore, accurately identifying the membrane protein-ligand binding sites (MPLs) will significantly improve drug discovery. In this paper, we propose a sequence-based MPLs predictor called MPLs-Pred, where evolutionary profiles, topology structure, physicochemical properties, and primary sequence segment descriptors are combined as features applied to a random forest classifier, and an under-sampling scheme is used to enhance the classification capability with imbalanced samples. Additional ligand-specific models were taken into consideration in refining the prediction. The corresponding experimental results based on our method achieved an appreciable performance, with 0.63 MCC (Matthews correlation coefficient) as the overall prediction precision, and those values were 0.604, 0.7, and 0.692, respectively, for the three main types of ligands: drugs, metal ions, and biomacromolecules. MPLs-Pred is freely accessible at http://icdtools.nenu.edu.cn/.

Predicting binding sites from unbound versus bound protein structures.

Project description:We present the application of seven binding-site prediction algorithms to a meticulously curated dataset of ligand-bound and ligand-free crystal structures for 304 unique protein sequences (2528 crystal structures). We probe the influence of starting protein structures on the results of binding-site prediction, so the dataset contains a minimum of two ligand-bound and two ligand-free structures for each protein. We use this dataset in a brief survey of five geometry-based, one energy-based, and one machine-learning-based methods: Surfnet, Ghecom, LIGSITEcsc, Fpocket, Depth, AutoSite, and Kalasanty. Distributions of the F scores and Matthew's correlation coefficients for ligand-bound versus ligand-free structure performance show no statistically significant difference in structure type versus performance for most methods. Only Fpocket showed a statistically significant but low magnitude enhancement in performance for holo structures. Lastly, we found that most methods will succeed on some crystal structures and fail on others within the same protein family, despite all structures being relatively high-quality structures with low structural variation. We expected better consistency across varying protein conformations of the same sequence. Interestingly, the success or failure of a given structure cannot be predicted by quality metrics such as resolution, Cruickshank Diffraction Precision index, or unresolved residues. Cryptic sites were also examined.

Predicting Toll-like receptor structures and characterizing ligand binding.

Project description:Toll-like receptor (TLR) ligand-binding domains comprise 18-25 tandem copies of a 24-residue motif known as the leucine-rich repeat (LRR). Unlike other LRR proteins, TLRs contain significant numbers of non-consensus LRR sequences, which makes their identification by computer domain search programs problematic. Here, we provide methods for identifying non-consensus LRRs. Using the location of these LRRs, hypothetical models are constructed based on the known molecular structures of homologous LRR proteins. However, when a hypothetical model for TLR3 is compared with the molecular structure solved by x-ray crystallography, the solenoid curvature, planarity, and conformations of the LRR insertions are incorrectly predicted. These differences illustrate how non-consensus LRR motifs influence TLR structure. Since the determination of molecular structures by crystallography requires substantial amounts of protein, we describe methods for producing milligram amounts of TLR3 extracellular domain (ECD) protein. The recombinant TLR3-ECD previously used to solve the molecular structure of TLR3-ECD has also been used to study the binding of TLR3-ECD to its ligand, double-stranded RNA (dsRNA). In the last section, we describe the preparation of defined TLR3 ligands and present methods for characterizing their interaction with TLR3-ECD.

Automatic generation of bioinformatics tools for predicting protein-ligand binding sites.

Project description:MotivationPredictive tools that model protein-ligand binding on demand are needed to promote ligand research in an innovative drug-design environment. However, it takes considerable time and effort to develop predictive tools that can be applied to individual ligands. An automated production pipeline that can rapidly and efficiently develop user-friendly protein-ligand binding predictive tools would be useful.ResultsWe developed a system for automatically generating protein-ligand binding predictions. Implementation of this system in a pipeline of Semantic Web technique-based web tools will allow users to specify a ligand and receive the tool within 0.5-1 day. We demonstrated high prediction accuracy for three machine learning algorithms and eight ligands.Availability and implementationThe source code and web application are freely available for download at http://utprot.net They are implemented in Python and supported on Linux.Contactshimizu@bi.a.u-tokyo.ac.jpSupplementary informationSupplementary data are available at Bioinformatics online.

A robust and efficient algorithm for the shape description of protein structures and its application in predicting ligand binding sites.

Project description:An accurate description of protein shape derived from protein structure is necessary to establish an understanding of protein-ligand interactions, which in turn will lead to improved methods for protein-ligand docking and binding site analysis. Most current shape descriptors characterize only the local properties of protein structure using an all-atom representation and are slow to compute. We need new shape descriptors that have the ability to capture both local and global structural information, are robust for application to models and low quality structures and are computationally efficient to permit high throughput analysis of protein structures.We introduce a new shape description that requires only the Calpha atoms to represent the protein structure, thus making it both fast and suitable for use on models and low quality structures. The notion of a geometric potential is introduced to quantitatively describe the shape of the structure. This geometric potential is dependent on both the global shape of the protein structure as well as the surrounding environment of each residue. When applying the geometric potential for binding site prediction, approximately 85% of known binding sites can be accurately identified with above 50% residue coverage and 80% specificity. Moreover, the algorithm is fast enough for proteome-scale applications. Proteins with fewer than 500 amino acids can be scanned in less than two seconds.The reduced representation of the protein structure combined with the geometric potential provides a fast, quantitative description of protein-ligand binding sites with potential for use in large-scale predictions, comparisons and analysis.

Predicting Ca2+ -binding sites using refined carbon clusters.

Project description:Identifying Ca(2+) -binding sites in proteins is the first step toward understanding the molecular basis of diseases related to Ca(2+) -binding proteins. Currently, these sites are identified in structures either through X-ray crystallography or NMR analysis. However, Ca(2+) -binding sites are not always visible in X-ray structures due to flexibility in the binding region or low occupancy in a Ca(2+) -binding site. Similarly, both Ca(2+) and its ligand oxygens are not directly observed in NMR structures. To improve our ability to predict Ca(2+) -binding sites in both X-ray and NMR structures, we report a new graph theory algorithm (MUG(C) ) to predict Ca(2+) -binding sites. Using carbon atoms covalently bonded to the chelating oxygen atoms, and without explicit reference to side-chain oxygen ligand co-ordinates, MUG(C) is able to achieve 94% sensitivity with 76% selectivity on a dataset of X-ray structures composed of 43 Ca(2+) -binding proteins. Additionally, prediction of Ca(2+) -binding sites in NMR structures was obtained by MUG(C) using a different set of parameters, which were determined by the analysis of both Ca(2+) -constrained and unconstrained Ca(2+) -loaded structures derived from NMR data. MUG(C) identified 20 of 21 Ca(2+) -binding sites in NMR structures inferred without the use of Ca(2+) constraints. MUG(C) predictions are also highly selective for Ca(2+) -binding sites as analyses of binding sites for Mg(2+) , Zn(2+) , and Pb(2+) were not identified as Ca(2+) -binding sites. These results indicate that the geometric arrangement of the second-shell carbon cluster is sufficient not only for accurate identification of Ca(2+) -binding sites in NMR and X-ray structures but also for selective differentiation between Ca(2+) and other relevant divalent cations.
