A method for WD40 repeat detection and secondary structure prediction.

ABSTRACT: WD40-repeat proteins (WD40s), as one of the largest protein families in eukaryotes, play vital roles in assembling protein-protein/DNA/RNA complexes. WD40s fold into similar ?-propeller structures despite diversified sequences. A program WDSP (WD40 repeat protein Structure Predictor) has been developed to accurately identify WD40 repeats and predict their secondary structures. The method is designed specifically for WD40 proteins by incorporating both local residue information and non-local family-specific structural features. It overcomes the problem of highly diversified protein sequences and variable loops. In addition, WDSP achieves a better prediction in identifying multiple WD40-domain proteins by taking the global combination of repeats into consideration. In secondary structure prediction, the average Q3 accuracy of WDSP in jack-knife test reaches 93.7%. A disease related protein LRRK2 was used as a representive example to demonstrate the structure prediction.

Improved Chou-Fasman method for protein secondary structure prediction.

Project description:BackgroundProtein secondary structure prediction is a fundamental and important component in the analytical study of protein structure and functions. The prediction technique has been developed for several decades. The Chou-Fasman algorithm, one of the earliest methods, has been successfully applied to the prediction. However, this method has its limitations due to low accuracy, unreliable parameters, and over prediction. Thanks to the recent development in protein folding type-specific structure propensities and wavelet transformation, the shortcomings in Chou-Fasman method are able to be overcome.ResultsWe improved Chou-Fasman method in three aspects. (a) Replace the nucleation regions with extreme values of coefficients calculated by the continuous wavelet transform. (b) Substitute the original secondary structure conformational parameters with folding type-specific secondary structure propensities. (c) Modify Chou-Fasman rules. The CB396 data set was tested by using improved Chou-Fasman method and three indices: Q3, Qpre, SOV were used to measure this method. We compared the indices with those obtained from the original Chou-Fasman method and other four popular methods. The results showed that our improved Chou-Fasman method performs better than the original one in all indices, about 10-18% improvement. It is also comparable to other currently popular methods considering all the indices.ConclusionOur method has greatly improved Chou-Fasman method. It is able to predict protein secondary structure as good as current popular methods. By locating nucleation regions with refined wavelet transform technology and by calculating propensity factors with larger size data set, it is likely to get a better result.

Protein Secondary Structure Prediction With a Reductive Deep Learning Method.

Project description:Protein secondary structures have been identified as the links in the physical processes of primary sequences, typically random coils, folding into functional tertiary structures that enable proteins to involve a variety of biological events in life science. Therefore, an efficient protein secondary structure predictor is of importance especially when the structure of an amino acid sequence fragment is not solved by high-resolution experiments, such as X-ray crystallography, cryo-electron microscopy, and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, which are usually time consuming and expensive. In this paper, a reductive deep learning model MLPRNN has been proposed to predict either 3-state or 8-state protein secondary structures. The prediction accuracy by the MLPRNN on the publicly available benchmark CB513 data set is comparable with those by other state-of-the-art models. More importantly, taking into account the reductive architecture, MLPRNN could be a baseline for future developments.

Protein Secondary Structure Prediction Based on Data Partition and Semi-Random Subspace Method.

Project description:Protein secondary structure prediction is one of the most important and challenging problems in bioinformatics. Machine learning techniques have been applied to solve the problem and have gained substantial success in this research area. However there is still room for improvement toward the theoretical limit. In this paper, we present a novel method for protein secondary structure prediction based on a data partition and semi-random subspace method (PSRSM). Data partitioning is an important strategy for our method. First, the protein training dataset was partitioned into several subsets based on the length of the protein sequence. Then we trained base classifiers on the subspace data generated by the semi-random subspace method, and combined base classifiers by majority vote rule into ensemble classifiers on each subset. Multiple classifiers were trained on different subsets. These different classifiers were used to predict the secondary structures of different proteins according to the protein sequence length. Experiments are performed on 25PDB, CB513, CASP10, CASP11, CASP12, and T100 datasets, and the good performance of 86.38%, 84.53%, 85.51%, 85.89%, 85.55%, and 85.09% is achieved respectively. Experimental results showed that our method outperforms other state-of-the-art methods.

WD40 repeat domain proteins: a novel target class?

Project description:Antagonism of protein-protein interactions (PPIs) with small molecules is becoming more feasible as a therapeutic approach. Successful PPI inhibitors tend to target proteins containing deep peptide-binding grooves or pockets rather than the more common large, flat protein interaction surfaces. Here, we review one of the most abundant PPI domains in the human proteome, the WD40 repeat (WDR) domain, which has a central peptide-binding pocket and is a member of the β-propeller domain-containing protein family. Recently, two WDR domain-containing proteins, WDR5 and EED, as well as other β-propeller domains have been successfully targeted by potent, specific, cell-active, drug-like chemical probes. Could WDR domains be a novel target class for drug discovery? Although the research is at an early stage and therefore not clinically validated, cautious optimism is justified, as WDR domain-containing proteins are involved in multiple disease-associated pathways. The druggability and structural diversity of WDR domain binding pockets suggest that understanding how to target this prevalent domain class will open up areas of disease biology that have so far resisted drug discovery efforts.

COFOLD: an RNA secondary structure prediction method that takes co-transcriptional folding into account.

Project description:Existing state-of-the-art methods that take a single RNA sequence and predict the corresponding RNA secondary structure are thermodynamic methods. These aim to predict the most stable RNA structure. There exists by now ample experimental and theoretical evidence that the process of structure formation matters and that sequences in vivo fold while they are being transcribed. None of the thermodynamic methods, however, consider the process of structure formation. Here, we present a conceptually new method for predicting RNA secondary structure, called CoFold, that takes effects of co-transcriptional folding explicitly into account. Our method significantly improves the state-of-art in terms of prediction accuracy, especially for long sequences of >1000 nt in length.

RNA independent fragment partition method based on deep learning for RNA secondary structure prediction

Project description:The non-coding RNA secondary structure largely determines its function. Hence, accuracy in structure acquisition is of great importance. Currently, this acquisition primarily relies on various computational methods. The prediction of the structures of long RNA sequences with high precision and reasonable computational cost remains challenging. Here, we propose a deep learning model, RNA-par, which could partition an RNA sequence into several independent fragments (i-fragments) based on its exterior loops. Each i-fragment secondary structure predicted individually could be further assembled to acquire the complete RNA secondary structure. In the examination of our independent test set, the average length of the predicted i-fragments was 453 nt, which was considerably shorter than that of complete RNA sequences (848 nt). The accuracy of the assembled structures was higher than that of the structures predicted directly using the state-of-the-art RNA secondary structure prediction methods. This proposed model could serve as a preprocessing step for RNA secondary structure prediction for enhancing the predictive performance (especially for long RNA sequences) and reducing the computational cost. In the future, predicting the secondary structure of long-sequence RNA with high accuracy can be enabled by developing a framework combining RNA-par with various existing RNA secondary structure prediction algorithms. Our models, test codes and test data are provided at https://github.com/mianfei71/RNAPar.

A Tool Preference Choice Method for RNA Secondary Structure Prediction by SVM with Statistical Tests.

Project description:The Prediction of RNA secondary structures has drawn much attention from both biologists and computer scientists. Many useful tools have been developed for this purpose. These tools have their individual strengths and weaknesses. As a result, based on support vector machines (SVM), we propose a tool choice method which integrates three prediction tools: pknotsRG, RNAStructure, and NUPACK. Our method first extracts features from the target RNA sequence, and adopts two information-theoretic feature selection methods for feature ranking. We propose a method to combine feature selection and classifier fusion in an incremental manner. Our test data set contains 720 RNA sequences, where 225 pseudoknotted RNA sequences are obtained from PseudoBase, and 495 nested RNA sequences are obtained from RNA SSTRAND. The method serves as a preprocessing way in analyzing RNA sequences before the RNA secondary structure prediction tools are employed. In addition, the performance of various configurations is subject to statistical tests to examine their significance. The best base-pair accuracy achieved is 75.5%, which is obtained by the proposed incremental method, and is significantly higher than 68.8%, which is associated with the best predictor, pknotsRG.

CyloFold: secondary structure prediction including pseudoknots.

Project description:UnlabelledComputational RNA secondary structure prediction approaches differ by the way RNA pseudoknot interactions are handled. For reasons of computational efficiency, most approaches only allow a limited class of pseudoknot interactions or are not considering them at all. Here we present a computational method for RNA secondary structure prediction that is not restricted in terms of pseudoknot complexity. The approach is based on simulating a folding process in a coarse-grained manner by choosing helices based on established energy rules. The steric feasibility of the chosen set of helices is checked during the folding process using a highly coarse-grained 3D model of the RNA structures. Using two data sets of 26 and 241 RNA sequences we find that this approach is competitive compared to the existing RNA secondary structure prediction programs pknotsRG, HotKnots and UnaFold. The key advantages of the new method are that there is no algorithmic restriction in terms of pseudoknot complexity and a test is made for steric feasibility.AvailabilityThe program is available as web server at the site: http://cylofold.abcc.ncifcrf.gov.

MPGAfold in dengue secondary structure prediction.

Project description:This chapter presents the computational prediction of the secondary structures within the 5' and 3' untranslated regions of the dengue virus serotype 2 (DENV2), with the focus on the conformational prediction of the two dumbbell-like structures, 5' DB and 3' DB, found in the core region of the 3' untranslated region of DENV2. For secondary structure prediction purposes we used a 719 nt-long subgenomic RNA construct from DENV2, which we refer to as the minigenome. The construct combines the 5'-most 226 nt from the 5' UTR and a fragment of the capsid coding region with the last 42 nt from the non-structural protein NS5 coding region and the 451 nt of the 3' UTR. This minigenome has been shown to contain the elements needed for translation, as well as negative strand RNA synthesis. We present the Massively Parallel Genetic Algorithm MPGAfold, a non-deterministic algorithm, that was used to predict the secondary structures of the DENV2 719 nt long minigenome construct, as well as our computational workbench called StructureLab that was used to interactively explore the solution spaces produced by MPGAfold. The MPGAfold algorithm is first introduced at the conceptual level. Then specific parameters guiding its performance are discussed and illustrated with a representative selection of the results from the study. Plots of the solution spaces generated by MPGAfold illustrate the algorithm, while selected secondary structures focus on variable formation of the dumbbell structures and other identified structural motifs. They also serve as illustrations of some of the capabilities of the StructureLab workbench. Results of the computational structure determination calculations are discussed and compared to the experimental data.

Metacercarial proteins interacting with WD40-repeat protein of Clonorchis sinensis.

Project description:The WD40-repeat proteins serve as a platform coordinating partner proteins and are involved in a range of regulatory cellular functions. A WD40-repeat protein (CsWD1) of Clonorchis sinensis previously cloned is expressed stage-specifically in the tegumental syncytium of C. sinensis metacercariae. In the present study, interacting proteins with the CsWD1 protein was purified by immunoprecipitation and 2 dimension gel electrophoresis from the C. sinensis metacercaria soluble extract, and tryptic peptides were analyzed by LC/ESI-MS. Putative partner proteins were annotated to be actin-2, glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase, and hypothetical and unmanned proteins. The CsWD1 protein was predicted to contain 3 conserved actin-interacting residues on its functional surface. With these results, the CsWD1 protein is suggested to be an actin-interacting protein of C. sinensis.
