A statistical framework for analyzing deep mutational scanning data.

ABSTRACT: Deep mutational scanning is a widely used method for multiplex measurement of functional consequences of protein variants. We developed a new deep mutational scanning statistical model that generates error estimates for each measurement, capturing both sampling error and consistency between replicates. We apply our model to one novel and five published datasets comprising 243,732 variants and demonstrate its superiority in removing noisy variants and conducting hypothesis testing. Simulations show our model applies to scans based on cell growth or binding and handles common experimental errors. We implemented our model in Enrich2, software that can empower researchers analyzing deep mutational scanning data.

Correction to: A statistical framework for analyzing deep mutational scanning data.

Project description:CorrectionAfter publication of our article [1] it was brought to our attention that a line of code was missing from our program to combine the within-replicate variance and between-replicate variance. This led to an overestimation of the standard errors calculated using the Enrich2 random-effects model.

DiMSum: an error model and pipeline for analyzing deep mutational scanning data and diagnosing common experimental pathologies.

Project description:Deep mutational scanning (DMS) enables multiplexed measurement of the effects of thousands of variants of proteins, RNAs, and regulatory elements. Here, we present a customizable pipeline, DiMSum, that represents an end-to-end solution for obtaining variant fitness and error estimates from raw sequencing data. A key innovation of DiMSum is the use of an interpretable error model that captures the main sources of variability arising in DMS workflows, outperforming previous methods. DiMSum is available as an R/Bioconda package and provides summary reports to help researchers diagnose common DMS pathologies and take remedial steps in their analyses.

A Statistical Guide to the Design of Deep Mutational Scanning Experiments.

Project description:The characterization of the distribution of mutational effects is a key goal in evolutionary biology. Recently developed deep-sequencing approaches allow for accurate and simultaneous estimation of the fitness effects of hundreds of engineered mutations by monitoring their relative abundance across time points in a single bulk competition. Naturally, the achievable resolution of the estimated fitness effects depends on the specific experimental setup, the organism and type of mutations studied, and the sequencing technology utilized, among other factors. By means of analytical approximations and simulations, we provide guidelines for optimizing time-sampled deep-sequencing bulk competition experiments, focusing on the number of mutants, the sequencing depth, and the number of sampled time points. Our analytical results show that sampling more time points together with extending the duration of the experiment improves the achievable precision disproportionately compared with increasing the sequencing depth or reducing the number of competing mutants. Even if the duration of the experiment is fixed, sampling more time points and clustering these at the beginning and the end of the experiment increase experimental power and allow for efficient and precise assessment of the entire range of selection coefficients. Finally, we provide a formula for calculating the 95%-confidence interval for the measurement error estimate, which we implement as an interactive web tool. This allows for quantification of the maximum expected a priori precision of the experimental setup, as well as for a statistical threshold for determining deviations from neutrality for specific selection coefficient estimates.

popDMS infers mutation effects from deep mutational scanning data.

Project description:Deep mutational scanning (DMS) experiments provide a powerful method to measure the functional effects of genetic mutations at massive scales. However, the data generated from these experiments can be difficult to analyze, with significant variation between experimental replicates. To overcome this challenge, we developed popDMS, a computational method based on population genetics theory, to infer the functional effects of mutations from DMS data. Through extensive tests, we found that the functional effects of single mutations and epistasis inferred by popDMS are highly consistent across replicates, comparing favorably with existing methods. Our approach is flexible and can be widely applied to DMS data that includes multiple time points, multiple replicates, and different experimental conditions.

Neural networks to learn protein sequence-function relationships from deep mutational scanning data.

Project description:The mapping from protein sequence to function is highly complex, making it challenging to predict how sequence changes will affect a protein's behavior and properties. We present a supervised deep learning framework to learn the sequence-function mapping from deep mutational scanning data and make predictions for new, uncharacterized sequence variants. We test multiple neural network architectures, including a graph convolutional network that incorporates protein structure, to explore how a network's internal representation affects its ability to learn the sequence-function mapping. Our supervised learning approach displays superior performance over physics-based and unsupervised prediction methods. We find that networks that capture nonlinear interactions and share parameters across sequence positions are important for learning the relationship between sequence and function. Further analysis of the trained models reveals the networks' ability to learn biologically meaningful information about protein structure and mechanism. Finally, we demonstrate the models' ability to navigate sequence space and design new proteins beyond the training set. We applied the protein G B1 domain (GB1) models to design a sequence that binds to immunoglobulin G with substantially higher affinity than wild-type GB1.

Predicting Drug Resistance Using Deep Mutational Scanning.

Project description:Drug resistance is a major healthcare challenge, resulting in a continuous need to develop new inhibitors. The development of these inhibitors requires an understanding of the mechanisms of resistance for a critical mass of occurrences. Recent genome editing technologies based on high-throughput DNA synthesis and sequencing may help to predict mutations resulting in resistance by testing large mutagenesis libraries. Here we describe the rationale of this approach, with examples and relevance to drug development and resistance in malaria.

Toward Developing Intuitive Rules for Protein Variant Effect Prediction Using Deep Mutational Scanning Data.

Project description:Protein structure and function can be severely altered by even a single amino acid mutation. Predictions of mutational effects using extensive artificial intelligence (AI)-based models, although accurate, remain as enigmatic as the experimental observations in terms of improving intuitions about the contributions of various factors. Inspired by Lipinski's rules for drug-likeness, we devise simple thresholding criteria on five different descriptors such as conservation, which have so far been limited to qualitative interpretations such as high conservation implies high mutational effect. We analyze systematic deep mutational scanning data of all possible single amino acid substitutions on seven proteins (25153 mutations) to first define these thresholds and then to evaluate the scope and limits of the predictions. At this stage, the approach allows us to comment easily and with a low error rate on the subset of mutations classified as neutral or deleterious by all of the descriptors. We hope that complementary to the accurate AI predictions, these thresholding rules or their subsequent modifications will serve the purpose of codifying the knowledge about the effects of mutations.

Nonproteinogenic deep mutational scanning of linear and cyclic peptides.

Project description:High-resolution structure-activity analysis of polypeptides requires amino acid structures that are not present in the universal genetic code. Examination of peptide and protein interactions with this resolution has been limited by the need to individually synthesize and test peptides containing nonproteinogenic amino acids. We describe a method to scan entire peptide sequences with multiple nonproteinogenic amino acids and, in parallel, determine the thermodynamics of binding to a partner protein. By coupling genetic code reprogramming to deep mutational scanning, any number of amino acids can be exhaustively substituted into peptides, and single experiments can return all free energy changes of binding. We validate this approach by scanning two model protein-binding peptides with 21 diverse nonproteinogenic amino acids. Dense structure-activity maps were produced at the resolution of single aliphatic atom insertions and deletions. This permits rapid interrogation of interaction interfaces, as well as optimization of affinity, fine-tuning of physical properties, and systematic assessment of nonproteinogenic amino acids in binding and folding.

Dissecting enzyme function with microfluidic-based deep mutational scanning.

Project description:Natural enzymes are incredibly proficient catalysts, but engineering them to have new or improved functions is challenging due to the complexity of how an enzyme's sequence relates to its biochemical properties. Here, we present an ultrahigh-throughput method for mapping enzyme sequence-function relationships that combines droplet microfluidic screening with next-generation DNA sequencing. We apply our method to map the activity of millions of glycosidase sequence variants. Microfluidic-based deep mutational scanning provides a comprehensive and unbiased view of the enzyme function landscape. The mapping displays expected patterns of mutational tolerance and a strong correspondence to sequence variation within the enzyme family, but also reveals previously unreported sites that are crucial for glycosidase function. We modified the screening protocol to include a high-temperature incubation step, and the resulting thermotolerance landscape allowed the discovery of mutations that enhance enzyme thermostability. Droplet microfluidics provides a general platform for enzyme screening that, when combined with DNA-sequencing technologies, enables high-throughput mapping of enzyme sequence space.

Elucidating the molecular determinants of Aβ aggregation with deep mutational scanning

Project description:Despite the importance of Aβ aggregation in Alzheimer’s disease etiology, our understanding of the sequence determinants of aggregation is sparse and largely derived from in vitro studies. For example, in vitro proline and alanine scanning mutagenesis of Aβ40 proposed core regions important for aggregation. However, we lack even this limited mutagenesis data for the more disease-relevant Aβ42. Thus, to better understand the molecular determinants of Aβ42 aggregation in a cell-based system, we combined a yeast DHFR aggregation assay with deep mutational scanning. We measured the effect of 791 of the 798 possible single amino acid substitutions on the aggregation propensity of Aβ42. We found that ~75% of substitutions, largely to hydrophobic residues, maintained or increased aggregation. We identified 11 positions at which substitutions, particularly to hydrophilic and charged amino acids, disrupted Aβ aggregation. These critical positions were similar but not identical to critical positions identified in previous Aβ mutagenesis studies. Finally, we analyzed our large-scale mutagenesis data in the context of different Aβ aggregate structural models, finding that the mutagenesis data agreed best with models derived from fibrils seeded using brain-derived Aβ aggregates.
