SMS 2.0: an updated database to study the structural plasticity of short peptide fragments in non-redundant proteins.

ABSTRACT: The function of a protein molecule is greatly influenced by its three-dimensional (3D) structure and therefore structure prediction will help identify its biological function. We have updated Sequence, Motif and Structure (SMS), the database of structurally rigid peptide fragments, by combining amino acid sequences and the corresponding 3D atomic coordinates of non-redundant (25%) and redundant (90%) protein chains available in the Protein Data Bank (PDB). SMS 2.0 provides information pertaining to the peptide fragments of length 5-14 residues. The entire dataset is divided into three categories, namely, same sequence motifs having similar, intermediate or dissimilar 3D structures. Further, options are provided to facilitate structural superposition using the program structural alignment of multiple proteins (STAMP) and the popular JAVA plug-in (Jmol) is deployed for visualization. In addition, functionalities are provided to search for the occurrences of the sequence motifs in other structural and sequence databases like PDB, Genome Database (GDB), Protein Information Resource (PIR) and Swiss-Prot. The updated database along with the search engine is available over the World Wide Web through the following URL http://cluster.physics.iisc.ernet.in/sms/.

Project description:Disulphide bonds are stabilizing crosslinks in proteins and serve to enhance their thermal stability. In proteins that are small and rich in disulphide bonds, they could be the major determining factor for the choice of conformational state since their constraints on appropriate backbone conformation can be substantial. Such crosslinks and their positional conservation could itself enable protein family and functional association. Despite the importance of the field, there is no comprehensive database on disulphide crosslinks that is available to the public. Herein we provide information on disulphides in DSDBASE2.0, an updated and significantly expanded database that is freely available, fully annotated and manually curated database on native and modelled disulphides. The web interface also provides several useful computational tools that have been specifically developed for proteins containing disulphide crosslinks. The modelling of disulphide crosslinks is performed using stereochemical criteria, coded within our Modelling of Disulphides in Proteins (MODIP) algorithm. The inclusion of modelled disulphides potentially enhances the loop database substantially, thereby permitting the recognition of compatible polypeptide segments that could serve as templates for immediate modelling. The DSDBASE2.0 database has been updated to include 153,944 PDB entries, 216,096 native and 20,153,850 modelled disulphide bond segments from PDB January 2021 release. The current database also provides a resource to user-friendly search for multiple disulphide bond containing loops, along with annotation of their function using GO and subcellular localization of the query. Furthermore, it is possible to obtain the three-dimensional models of disulphide-rich small proteins using an independent algorithm, RANMOD, that generates and examines random, but allowed backbone conformations of the polypeptide. DSDBASE2.0 still remains the largest open-access repository that organizes all disulphide bonds of proteins on a single platform. The database can be accessed from http://caps.ncbs.res.in/dsdbase2.

Project description:BackgroundAllergenic proteins can cause IgE-mediated adverse reactions in sensitized individuals. Although the sequences of many allergenic proteins have been identified, bioinformatics data analysis with advanced computational methods and modeling is needed to identify the basis for IgE binding and cross-reactivity.ObjectiveWe aim to present the features and use of the updated Structural Database of Allergenic Proteins 2.0 (SDAP 2.0) webserver, a unique, publicly available resource to compare allergens using specially designed computational tools and new high-quality 3-D models for most known allergens.MethodsPreviously developed and novel software tools for identifying cross-reactive allergens using sequence and structure similarity are implemented in SDAP 2.0. A comprehensive set of high-quality 3-D models of most allergens was generated with the state-of-the-art AlphaFold 2 software. A graphics tool enables the interactive visualization of IgE epitopes on experimentally determined and modeled 3-D structures.ResultsA user can search for allergens similar to a given input sequence with the FASTA algorithm or the window-based World Health Organization/International Union of Immunological Societies (WHO/IUIS) guidelines on safety concerns of novel food products. Peptides similar to known IgE epitopes can be identified with the property distance tool and conformational epitopes by the Cross-React method. The updated database contains 1657 manually curated sequences including all allergens from the IUIS database, 334 experimentally determined X-ray or NMR structures, and 1565 3-D models. Each allergen/isoallergen is classified according to its protein family.ConclusionsSDAP provides access to the steadily increasing information on allergenic structures and epitopes with integrated bioinformatics tools to identify and analyze their similarities. In addition to serving the research and regulatory community, it provides clinicians with tools to identify potential coallergies in a sensitive patient and can help companies to design hypoallergenic foods and immunotherapies.
