Performance of ZDOCK in CAPRI rounds 20-26.

ABSTRACT: We report the performance of our approaches for protein-protein docking and interface analysis in CAPRI rounds 20-26. At the core of our pipeline was the ZDOCK program for rigid-body protein-protein docking. We then reranked the ZDOCK predictions using the ZRANK or IRAD scoring functions, pruned and analyzed energy landscapes using clustering, and analyzed the docking results using our interface prediction approach RCF. When possible, we used biological information from the literature to apply constraints to the search space during or after the ZDOCK runs. For approximately half of the standard docking challenges we made at least one prediction that was acceptable or better. For the scoring challenges we made acceptable or better predictions for all but one target. This indicates that our scoring functions are generally able to select the correct binding mode.

Performance of ZDOCK and IRAD in CAPRI rounds 28-34.

Project description:We report the performance of our protein-protein docking pipeline, including the ZDOCK rigid-body docking algorithm, on 19 targets in CAPRI rounds 28-34. Following the docking step, we reranked the ZDOCK predictions using the IRAD scoring function, pruned redundant predictions, performed energy landscape analysis, and utilized our interface prediction approach RCF. In addition, we applied constraints to the search space based on biological information that we culled from the literature, which increased the chance of making a correct prediction. For all but two targets we were able to find and apply biological information and we found the information to be highly accurate, indicating that effective incorporation of biological information is an important component for protein-protein docking.

Performance of ZDOCK and ZRANK in CAPRI rounds 13-19.

Project description:We report the performance of the ZDOCK and ZRANK algorithms in CAPRI rounds 13-19 and introduce a novel measure atom contact frequency (ACF). To compute ACF, we identify the residues that most often make contact with the binding partner in the complete set of ZDOCK predictions for each target. We used ACF to predict the interface of the proteins, which, in combination with the biological data available in the literature, is a valuable addition to our docking pipeline. Furthermore, we incorporated a straightforward and efficient clustering algorithm with two purposes: (1) to determine clusters of similar docking poses (corresponding to energy funnels) and (2) to remove redundancies from the final set of predictions. With these new developments, we achieved at least one acceptable prediction for targets 29 and 36, at least one medium-quality prediction for targets 41 and 42, and at least one high-quality prediction for targets 37 and 40; thus, we succeeded for six out of a total of 12 targets.

Performance of ZDOCK and IRAD in CAPRI rounds 39-45.

Project description:We report docking performance on the six targets of Critical Assessment of PRedicted Interactions (CAPRI) rounds 39-45 that involved heteromeric protein-protein interactions and had the solved structures released since the rounds were held. Our general strategy involved protein-protein docking using ZDOCK, reranking using IRAD, and structural refinement using Rosetta. In addition, we made extensive use of experimental data to guide our docking runs. All the experimental information at the amino-acid level proved correct. However, for two targets, we also used protein-complex structures as templates for modeling interfaces. These resulted in incorrect predictions, presumably due to the low sequence identity between the targets and templates. Albeit a small number of targets, the performance described here compared somewhat less favorably with our previous CAPRI reports, which may be due to the CAPRI targets being increasingly challenging.

Performance of human and server prediction in CAPRI rounds 38-45.

Project description:CAPRI challenges offer a variety of blind tests for protein-protein interaction prediction. In CAPRI Rounds 38-45, we generated a set of putative binding modes for each target with an FFT-based docking algorithm, and then scored and ranked these binding modes with a proprietary scoring function, ITScorePP. We have also developed a novel web server, Rebipp. The algorithm utilizes information retrieval to identify relevant biological information to significantly reduce the search space for a particular protein. In parallel, we have also constructed a GPU-based docking server, MDockPP, for protein-protein complex structure prediction. Here, the performance of our protocol in CAPRI rounds 38-45 is reported, which include 16 docking and scoring targets. Among them, three targets contain multiple interfaces: Targets 124, 125, and 136 have 2, 4, and 3 interfaces, respectively. In the predictor experiments, we predicted correct binding modes for nine targets, including one high-accuracy interface, six medium-accuracy binding modes, and six acceptable-accuracy binding modes. For the docking server prediction experiments, we predicted correct binding modes for eight targets, including one high-accuracy, three medium-accuracy, and five acceptable-accuracy binding modes.

Rosetta in CAPRI rounds 13-19.

Project description:Modeling the conformational changes that occur on binding of macromolecules is an unsolved challenge. In previous rounds of the Critical Assessment of PRediction of Interactions (CAPRI), it was demonstrated that the Rosetta approach to macromolecular modeling could capture side chain conformational changes on binding with high accuracy. In rounds 13-19 we tested the ability of various backbone remodeling strategies to capture the main-chain conformational changes observed during binding events. These approaches span a wide range of backbone motions, from limited refinement of loops to relieve clashes in homologous docking, through extensive remodeling of loop segments, to large-scale remodeling of RNA. Although the results are encouraging, major improvements in sampling and energy evaluation are clearly required for consistent high accuracy modeling. Analysis of our failures in the CAPRI challenges suggest that conformational sampling at the termini of exposed beta strands is a particularly pressing area for improvement.

Using the concept of transient complex for affinity predictions in CAPRI rounds 20-27 and beyond.

Project description:Predictions of protein-protein binders and binding affinities have traditionally focused on features pertaining to the native complexes. In developing a computational method for predicting protein-protein association rate constants, we introduced the concept of transient complex after mapping the interaction energy surface. The transient complex is located at the outer boundary of the bound-state energy well, having near-native separation and relative orientation between the subunits but not yet formed most of the short-range native interactions. We found that the width of the binding funnel and the electrostatic interaction energy of the transient complex are among the features predictive of binders and binding affinities. These ideas were very promising for the five affinity-related targets (T43-45, 55, and 56) of CAPRI rounds 20-27. For T43, we ranked the single crystallographic complex as number 1 and were one of only two groups that clearly identified that complex as a true binder; for T44, we ranked the only design with measurable binding affinity as number 4. For the nine docking targets, continuing on our success in previous CAPRI rounds, we produced 10 medium-quality models for T47 and acceptable models for T48 and T49. We conclude that the interaction energy landscape and the transient complex in particular will complement existing features in leading to better prediction of binding affinities.

Extending RosettaDock with water, sugar, and pH for prediction of complex structures and affinities for CAPRI rounds 20-27.

Project description:Rounds 20-27 of the Critical Assessment of PRotein Interactions (CAPRI) provided a testing platform for computational methods designed to address a wide range of challenges. The diverse targets drove the creation of and new combinations of computational tools. In this study, RosettaDock and other novel Rosetta protocols were used to successfully predict four of the 10 blind targets. For example, for DNase domain of Colicin E2-Im2 immunity protein, RosettaDock and RosettaLigand were used to predict the positions of water molecules at the interface, recovering 46% of the native water-mediated contacts. For α-repeat Rep4-Rep2 and g-type lysozyme-PliG inhibitor complexes, homology models were built and standard and pH-sensitive docking algorithms were used to generate structures with interface RMSD values of 3.3 Å and 2.0 Å, respectively. A novel flexible sugar-protein docking protocol was also developed and used for structure prediction of the BT4661-heparin-like saccharide complex, recovering 71% of the native contacts. Challenges remain in the generation of accurate homology models for protein mutants and sampling during global docking. On proteins designed to bind influenza hemagglutinin, only about half of the mutations were identified that affect binding (T55: 54%; T56: 48%). The prediction of the structure of the xylanase complex involving homology modeling and multidomain docking pushed the limits of global conformational sampling and did not result in any successful prediction. The diversity of problems at hand requires computational algorithms to be versatile; the recent additions to the Rosetta suite expand the capabilities to encompass more biologically realistic docking problems.

Selection of near-native poses in CAPRI rounds 13-19.

Project description:In CAPRI rounds 13-19, we submitted models that are of acceptable or higher quality for 6 of the total of 13 targets. This success builds on our record in previous CAPRI rounds. The docking problem can be divided into two steps. In the first, translational/rotational and conformational space is searched to generate a pool of docked poses; the success of this search step is measured by whether near-native poses are included in the pool. In the second step, the pool is selected for near-native poses. In our previous assessment of CAPRI results, we suggested that the search problem is largely solved; a remaining problem is to select near-native poses. Our work in these new rounds of CAPRI was guided by this assessment. To solve the selection problem, we used an assortment of criteria on the interfaces of candidate poses. In one extreme, represented by T29, with very little known interface information, our criterion for top models was based on interface prediction. Poses in which the predicted interface residues occurred in interfaces were selected. Our model 1 for T29 was of medium quality. In the other extreme, represented by T40, with reliably known interface information, our selection was solely based on such information. Nine of the ten models submitted for T40 were of high (3 models), medium (4 models), and acceptable (2 models) quality. Our strategy of mixing predicted and known interface information appears to be widely applicable for the selection of near-native poses.

Performance of MDockPP in CAPRI rounds 28-29 and 31-35 including the prediction of water-mediated interactions.

Project description:Protein-protein interactions are either through direct contacts between two binding partners or mediated by structural waters. Both direct contacts and water-mediated interactions are crucial to the formation of a protein-protein complex. During the recent CAPRI rounds, a novel parallel searching strategy for predicting water-mediated interactions is introduced into our protein-protein docking method, MDockPP. Briefly, a FFT-based docking algorithm is employed in generating putative binding modes, and an iteratively derived statistical potential-based scoring function, ITScorePP, in conjunction with biological information is used to assess and rank the binding modes. Up to 10 binding modes are selected as the initial protein-protein complex structures for MD simulations in explicit solvent. Water molecules near the interface are clustered based on the snapshots extracted from independent equilibrated trajectories. Then, protein-ligand docking is employed for a parallel search for water molecules near the protein-protein interface. The water molecules generated by ligand docking and the clustered water molecules generated by MD simulations are merged, referred to as the predicted structural water molecules. Here, we report the performance of this protocol for CAPRI rounds 28-29 and 31-35 containing 20 valid docking targets and 11 scoring targets. In the docking experiments, we predicted correct binding modes for nine targets, including one high-accuracy, two medium-accuracy, and six acceptable predictions. Regarding the two targets for the prediction of water-mediated interactions, we achieved models ranked as "excellent" in accordance with the CAPRI evaluation criteria; one of these two targets is considered as a difficult target for structural water prediction.

Modeling beta-sheet peptide-protein interactions: Rosetta FlexPepDock in CAPRI rounds 38-45.

Project description:Peptide-protein docking is challenging due to the considerable conformational freedom of the peptide. CAPRI rounds 38-45 included two peptide-protein interactions, both characterized by a peptide forming an additional beta strand of a beta sheet in the receptor. Using the Rosetta FlexPepDock peptide docking protocol we generated top-performing, high-accuracy models for targets 134 and 135, involving an interaction between a peptide derived from L-MAG with DLC8. In addition, we were able to generate the only medium-accuracy models for a particularly challenging target, T121. In contrast to the classical peptide-mediated interaction, in which receptor side chains contact both peptide backbone and side chains, beta-sheet complementation involves a major contribution to binding by hydrogen bonds between main chain atoms. To establish how binding affinity and specificity are established in this special class of peptide-protein interactions, we extracted PeptiDBeta, a benchmark of solved structures of different protein domains that are bound by peptides via beta-sheet complementation, and tested our protocol for global peptide-docking PIPER-FlexPepDock on this dataset. We find that the beta-strand part of the peptide is sufficient to generate approximate and even high resolution models of many interactions, but inclusion of adjacent motif residues often provides additional information necessary to achieve high resolution model quality.
