PRTAD: a database for protein residue torsion angle distributions.

ABSTRACT: PRTAD is a dedicated database and structural bioinformatics system for protein analysis and modelling. The database is developed to host and analyse the statistical data for protein residue level 'virtual' bond and torsion angles obtained from their distributions in databases of known protein structures such as in the PDB Data Bank. PRTAD is capable of generating, caching, and displaying the statistical distributions of the angles of various types. The collected information can be used to extract geometric restraints or define statistical potentials for protein structure determination. PRTAD is supported with a friendly designed web interface so that users can easily specify the angle types, and retrieve, visualise, or download the distributions of the angles as they desire.

Quantitative residue-specific protein backbone torsion angle dynamics from concerted measurement of 3J couplings.

Project description:Three-bond (3)J(C'C') and (3)J(HNH?) couplings in peptides and proteins are functions of the intervening backbone torsion angle ?. In well-ordered regions, (3)J(HNH?) is tightly correlated with (3)J(C'C'), but the presence of large ? angle fluctuations differentially affects the two types of couplings. Assuming the ? angles follow a Gaussian distribution, the width of this distribution can be extracted from (3)J(C'C') and (3)J(HNH?), as demonstrated for the folded proteins ubiquitin and GB3. In intrinsically disordered proteins, slow transverse relaxation permits measurement of (3)J(C'C') and (3)J(HNH) couplings at very high precision, and impact of factors other than the intervening torsion angle on (3)J will be minimal, making these couplings exceptionally valuable structural reporters. Analysis of ?-synuclein yields rather homogeneous widths of 69 ± 6° for the ? angle distributions and (3)J(C'C') values that agree well with those of a recent maximum entropy analysis of chemical shifts, J couplings, and (1)H-(1)H NOEs. Data are consistent with a modest (?30%) population of the polyproline II region.

PREDITOR: a web server for predicting protein torsion angle restraints.

Project description:Every year between 500 and 1000 peptide and protein structures are determined by NMR and deposited into the Protein Data Bank. However, the process of NMR structure determination continues to be a manually intensive and time-consuming task. One of the most tedious and error-prone aspects of this process involves the determination of torsion angle restraints including phi, psi, omega and chi angles. Most methods require many days of additional experiments, painstaking measurements or complex calculations. Here we wish to describe a web server, called PREDITOR, which greatly accelerates and simplifies this task. PREDITOR accepts sequence and/or chemical shift data as input and generates torsion angle predictions (with predicted errors) for phi, psi, omega and chi-1 angles. PREDITOR combines sequence alignment methods with advanced chemical shift analysis techniques to generate its torsion angle predictions. The method is fast (<40 s per protein) and accurate, with 88% of phi/psi predictions being within 30 degrees of the correct values, 84% of chi-1 predictions being correct and 99.97% of omega angles being correct. PREDITOR is 35 times faster and up to 20% more accurate than any existing method. PREDITOR also provides accurate assessments of the torsion angle errors so that the torsion angle constraints can be readily fed into standard structure refinement programs, such as CNS, XPLOR, AMBER and CYANA. Other unique features to PREDITOR include dihedral angle prediction via PDB structure mapping, automated chemical shift re-referencing (to improve accuracy), prediction of proline cis/trans states and a simple user interface. The PREDITOR website is located at: http://wishart.biology.ualberta.ca/preditor.

MERA: a webserver for evaluating backbone torsion angle distributions in dynamic and disordered proteins from NMR data.

Project description:MERA (Maximum Entropy Ramachandran map Analysis from NMR data) is a new webserver that generates residue-by-residue Ramachandran map distributions for disordered proteins or disordered regions in proteins on the basis of experimental NMR parameters. As input data, the program currently utilizes up to 12 different parameters. These include three different types of short-range NOEs, three types of backbone chemical shifts ((15)N, (13)C(?), and (13)C'), six types of J couplings ((3)JHNH?, (3)JC'C', (3)JC'H?, (1)JH?C?, (2)JC?N and (1)JC?N), as well as the (15)N-relaxation derived J(0) spectral density. The Ramachandran map distributions are reported in terms of populations of their 15° × 15° voxels, and an adjustable maximum entropy weight factor is available to ensure that the obtained distributions will not deviate more from a newly derived coil library distribution than required to account for the experimental data. MERA output includes the agreement between each input parameter and its distribution-derived value. As an application, we demonstrate performance of the program for several residues in the intrinsically disordered protein ?-synuclein, as well as for several static and dynamic residues in the folded protein GB3.

A maximum entropy approach to the study of residue-specific backbone angle distributions in α-synuclein, an intrinsically disordered protein.

Project description:α-Synuclein is an intrinsically disordered protein of 140 residues that switches to an α-helical conformation upon binding phospholipid membranes. We characterize its residue-specific backbone structure in free solution with a novel maximum entropy procedure that integrates an extensive set of NMR data. These data include intraresidue and sequential H(N) − H(α) and H(N) − H(N) NOEs, values for (3) JHNHα, (1) JHαCα, (2) JCαN, and (1) JCαN, as well as chemical shifts of (15)N, (13)C(α), and (13)C' nuclei, which are sensitive to backbone torsion angles. Distributions of these torsion angles were identified that yield best agreement to the experimental data, while using an entropy term to minimize the deviation from statistical distributions seen in a large protein coil library. Results indicate that although at the individual residue level considerable deviations from the coil library distribution are seen, on average the fitted distributions agree fairly well with this library, yielding a moderate population (20-30%) of the PPII region and a somewhat higher population of the potentially aggregation-prone β region (20-40%) than seen in the database. A generally lower population of the αR region (10-20%) is found. Analysis of (1)H − (1)H NOE data required consideration of the considerable backbone diffusion anisotropy of a disordered protein.

ANGLOR: a composite machine-learning algorithm for protein backbone torsion angle prediction.

Project description:We developed a composite machine-learning based algorithm, called ANGLOR, to predict real-value protein backbone torsion angles from amino acid sequences. The input features of ANGLOR include sequence profiles, predicted secondary structure and solvent accessibility. In a large-scale benchmarking test, the mean absolute error (MAE) of the phi/psi prediction is 28 degrees/46 degrees , which is approximately 10% lower than that generated by software in literature. The prediction is statistically different from a random predictor (or a purely secondary-structure-based predictor) with p-value <1.0 x 10(-300) (or <1.0 x 10(-148)) by Wilcoxon signed rank test. For some residues (ILE, LEU, PRO and VAL) and especially the residues in helix and buried regions, the MAE of phi angles is much smaller (10-20 degrees ) than that in other environments. Thus, although the average accuracy of the ANGLOR prediction is still low, the portion of the accurately predicted dihedral angles may be useful in assisting protein fold recognition and ab initio 3D structure modeling.

TAP score: torsion angle propensity normalization applied to local protein structure evaluation.

Project description:BackgroundExperimentally determined protein structures may contain errors and require validation. Conformational criteria based on the Ramachandran plot are mainly used to distinguish between distorted and adequately refined models. While the readily available criteria are sufficient to detect totally wrong structures, establishing the more subtle differences between plausible structures remains more challenging.ResultsA new criterion, called TAP score, measuring local sequence to structure fitness based on torsion angle propensities normalized against the global minimum and maximum is introduced. It is shown to be more accurate than previous methods at estimating the validity of a protein model in terms of commonly used experimental quality parameters on two test sets representing the full PDB database and a subset of obsolete PDB structures. Highly selective TAP thresholds are derived to recognize over 90% of the top experimental structures in the absence of experimental information. Both a web server and an executable version of the TAP score are available at http://protein.cribi.unipd.it/tap/.ConclusionA novel procedure for energy normalization (TAP) has significantly improved the possibility to recognize the best experimental structures. It will allow the user to more reliably isolate problematic structures in the context of automated experimental structure determination.

Smooth statistical torsion angle potential derived from a large conformational database via adaptive kernel density estimation improves the quality of NMR protein structures.

Project description:Statistical potentials that embody torsion angle probability densities in databases of high-quality X-ray protein structures supplement the incomplete structural information of experimental nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) datasets. By biasing the conformational search during the course of structure calculation toward highly populated regions in the database, the resulting protein structures display better validation criteria and accuracy. Here, a new statistical torsion angle potential is developed using adaptive kernel density estimation to extract probability densities from a large database of more than 10? quality-filtered amino acid residues. Incorporated into the Xplor-NIH software package, the new implementation clearly outperforms an older potential, widely used in NMR structure elucidation, in that it exhibits simultaneously smoother and sharper energy surfaces, and results in protein structures with improved conformation, nonbonded atomic interactions, and accuracy.

PIDD: database for Protein Inter-atomic Distance Distributions.

Project description:Protein Inter-atomic Distance Distributions (PIDD) is a dedicated database and structural bio-informatics system for distance based protein modeling. The database is developed to host and analyze the statistical data for protein inter-atomic distances based on their distributions in databases of known protein structures such as in the Protein Data Bank (PDB). PIDD is capable of generating, caching, and displaying the statistical distributions of the distances of various types and ranges. The collected information can be used to extract geometric restraints or mean-force potentials for protein structure determination including nuclear magnetic resonance structure determination and comparative model refinement. PIDD is supported with a friendly designed web interface so that users can easily specify the distance types and ranges, and retrieve, visualize or download the distributions of the distances as they desire.

Backbone Torsion Angle Determination Using Proton Detected Magic-Angle Spinning Nuclear Magnetic Resonance.

Project description:Protein torsion angles define the backbone secondary structure of proteins. Magic-angle spinning (MAS) NMR methods using carbon detection have been developed to measure torsion angles by determining the relative orientation between two anisotropic interactions─dipolar coupling or chemical shift anisotropy. Here we report a new proton-detection based method to determine the backbone torsion angle by recoupling NH and CH dipolar couplings within the HCANH pulse sequence, for protonated or partly deuterated samples. We demonstrate the efficiency and precision of the method with microcrystalline chicken α spectrin SH3 protein and the influenza A matrix 2 (M2) membrane protein, using 55 or 90 kHz MAS. For M2, pseudo-4D data detect a turn between transmembrane and amphipathic helices.

Prediction of Protein Loop Conformations using the AGBNP Implicit Solvent Model and Torsion Angle Sampling.

Project description:The OPLS-AA all-atom force field and the Analytical Generalized Born plus Non-Polar (AGBNP) implicit solvent model, in conjunction with torsion angle conformational search protocols based on the Protein Local Optimization Program (PLOP), are shown to be effective in predicting the native conformations of 57 9-residue and 35 13-residue loops of a diverse series of proteins with low sequence identity. The novel nonpolar solvation free energy estimator implemented in AGBNP augmented by correction terms aimed at reducing the occurrence of ion pairing are important to achieve the best prediction accuracy. Extended versions of the previously developed PLOP-based conformational search schemes based on calculations in the crystal environment are reported that are suitable for application to loop homology modeling without the crystal environment. Our results suggest that in general the loop backbone conformation is not strongly influenced by crystal packing. The application of the temperature Replica Exchange Molecular Dynamics (T-REMD) sampling method for a few examples where PLOP sampling is insufficient are also reported. The results reported indicate that the OPLS-AA/AGBNP effective potential is suitable for high-resolution modeling of proteins in the final stages of homology modeling and/or protein crystallographic refinement.
