Highly accurate protein structure prediction for the human proteome.

ABSTRACT: Protein structures can provide invaluable information, both for reasoning about biological processes and for enabling interventions such as structure-based drug development or targeted mutagenesis. After decades of effort, 17% of the total residues in human protein sequences are covered by an experimentally determined structure¹. Here we markedly expand the structural coverage of the proteome by applying the state-of-the-art machine learning method, AlphaFold², at a scale that covers almost the entire human proteome (98.5% of human proteins). The resulting dataset covers 58% of residues with a confident prediction, of which a subset (36% of all residues) have very high confidence. We introduce several metrics developed by building on the AlphaFold model and use them to interpret the dataset, identifying strong multi-domain predictions as well as regions that are likely to be disordered. Finally, we provide some case studies to illustrate how high-quality predictions could be used to generate biological hypotheses. We are making our predictions freely available to the community and anticipate that routine large-scale and high-accuracy structure prediction will become an important tool that will allow new questions to be addressed from a structural perspective.

Highly accurate protein structure prediction with AlphaFold.

Project description:Proteins are essential to life, and understanding their structure can facilitate a mechanistic understanding of their function. Through an enormous experimental effort1-4, the structures of around 100,000 unique proteins have been determined5, but this represents a small fraction of the billions of known protein sequences6,7. Structural coverage is bottlenecked by the months to years of painstaking effort required to determine a single protein structure. Accurate computational approaches are needed to address this gap and to enable large-scale structural bioinformatics. Predicting the three-dimensional structure that a protein will adopt based solely on its amino acid sequence-the structure prediction component of the 'protein folding problem'8-has been an important open research problem for more than 50 years9. Despite recent progress10-14, existing methods fall far short of atomic accuracy, especially when no homologous structure is available. Here we provide the first computational method that can regularly predict protein structures with atomic accuracy even in cases in which no similar structure is known. We validated an entirely redesigned version of our neural network-based model, AlphaFold, in the challenging 14th Critical Assessment of protein Structure Prediction (CASP14)15, demonstrating accuracy competitive with experimental structures in a majority of cases and greatly outperforming other methods. Underpinning the latest version of AlphaFold is a novel machine learning approach that incorporates physical and biological knowledge about protein structure, leveraging multi-sequence alignments, into the design of the deep learning algorithm.

Rethinking Protein Drug Design with Highly Accurate Structure Prediction of Anti-CRISPR Proteins.

Project description:Protein therapeutics play an important role in controlling the functions and activities of disease-causing proteins in modern medicine. Despite protein therapeutics having several advantages over traditional small-molecule therapeutics, further development has been hindered by drug complexity and delivery issues. However, recent progress in deep learning-based protein structure prediction approaches, such as AlphaFold2, opens new opportunities to exploit the complexity of these macro-biomolecules for highly specialised design to inhibit, regulate or even manipulate specific disease-causing proteins. Anti-CRISPR proteins are small proteins from bacteriophages that counter-defend against the prokaryotic adaptive immunity of CRISPR-Cas systems. They are unique examples of natural protein therapeutics that have been optimized by the host-parasite evolutionary arms race to inhibit a wide variety of host proteins. Here, we show that these anti-CRISPR proteins display diverse inhibition mechanisms through accurate structural prediction and functional analysis. We find that these phage-derived proteins are extremely distinct in structure, some of which have no homologues in the current protein structure domain. Furthermore, we find a novel family of anti-CRISPR proteins which are structurally similar to the recently discovered mechanism of manipulating host proteins through enzymatic activity, rather than through direct inference. Using highly accurate structure prediction, we present a wide variety of protein-manipulating strategies of anti-CRISPR proteins for future protein drug design.

Accurate Prediction of Docked Protein Structure Similarity.

Project description:One of the major challenges for protein-protein docking methods is to accurately discriminate nativelike structures. The protein docking community agrees on the existence of a relationship between various favorable intermolecular interactions (e.g. Van der Waals, electrostatic, desolvation forces, etc.) and the similarity of a conformation to its native structure. Different docking algorithms often formulate this relationship as a weighted sum of selected terms and calibrate their weights against specific training data to evaluate and rank candidate structures. However, the exact form of this relationship is unknown and the accuracy of such methods is impaired by the pervasiveness of false positives. Unlike the conventional scoring functions, we propose a novel machine learning approach that not only ranks the candidate structures relative to each other but also indicates how similar each candidate is to the native conformation. We trained the AccuRMSD neural network with an extensive dataset using the back-propagation learning algorithm. Our method achieved predicting RMSDs of unbound docked complexes with 0.4Å error margin.

Accurate protein structure prediction with hydroxyl radical protein footprinting data.

Project description:Hydroxyl radical protein footprinting (HRPF) in combination with mass spectrometry reveals the relative solvent exposure of labeled residues within a protein, thereby providing insight into protein tertiary structure. HRPF labels nineteen residues with varying degrees of reliability and reactivity. Here, we are presenting a dynamics-driven HRPF-guided algorithm for protein structure prediction. In a benchmark test of our algorithm, usage of the dynamics data in a score term resulted in notable improvement of the root-mean-square deviations of the lowest-scoring ab initio models and improved the funnel-like metric Pnear for all benchmark proteins. We identified models with accurate atomic detail for three of the four benchmark proteins. This work suggests that HRPF data along with side chain dynamics sampled by a Rosetta mover ensemble can be used to accurately predict protein structure.

Accurate structure prediction of peptide-MHC complexes for identifying highly immunogenic antigens.

Project description:Designing an optimal HIV-1 vaccine faces the challenge of identifying antigens that induce a broad immune capacity. One factor to control the breadth of T cell responses is the surface morphology of a peptide-MHC complex. Here, we present an in silico protocol for predicting peptide-MHC structure. A robust signature of a conformational transition was identified during all-atom molecular dynamics, which results in a model with high accuracy. A large test set was used in constructing our protocol and we went another step further using a blind test with a wild-type peptide and two highly immunogenic mutants, which predicted substantial conformational changes in both mutants. The center residues at position five of the analogs were configured to be accessible to solvent, forming a prominent surface, while the residue of the wild-type peptide was to point laterally toward the side of the binding cleft. We then experimentally determined the structures of the blind test set, using high resolution of X-ray crystallography, which verified predicted conformational changes. Our observation strongly supports a positive association of the surface morphology of a peptide-MHC complex to its immunogenicity. Our study offers the prospect of enhancing immunogenicity of vaccines by identifying MHC binding immunogens.

Highly Accurate Structure-Based Prediction of HIV-1 Coreceptor Usage Suggests Intermolecular Interactions Driving Tropism.

Project description:HIV-1 entry into host cells is mediated by interactions between the V3-loop of viral glycoprotein gp120 and chemokine receptor CCR5 or CXCR4, collectively known as HIV-1 coreceptors. Accurate genotypic prediction of coreceptor usage is of significant clinical interest and determination of the factors driving tropism has been the focus of extensive study. We have developed a method based on nonlinear support vector machines to elucidate the interacting residue pairs driving coreceptor usage and provide highly accurate coreceptor usage predictions. Our models utilize centroid-centroid interaction energies from computationally derived structures of the V3-loop:coreceptor complexes as primary features, while additional features based on established rules regarding V3-loop sequences are also investigated. We tested our method on 2455 V3-loop sequences of various lengths and subtypes, and produce a median area under the receiver operator curve of 0.977 based on 500 runs of 10-fold cross validation. Our study is the first to elucidate a small set of specific interacting residue pairs between the V3-loop and coreceptors capable of predicting coreceptor usage with high accuracy across major HIV-1 subtypes. The developed method has been implemented as a web tool named CRUSH, CoReceptor USage prediction for HIV-1, which is available at http://ares.tamu.edu/CRUSH/.

Solvent accessible surface area approximations for rapid and accurate protein structure prediction.

Project description:The burial of hydrophobic amino acids in the protein core is a driving force in protein folding. The extent to which an amino acid interacts with the solvent and the protein core is naturally proportional to the surface area exposed to these environments. However, an accurate calculation of the solvent-accessible surface area (SASA), a geometric measure of this exposure, is numerically demanding as it is not pair-wise decomposable. Furthermore, it depends on a full-atom representation of the molecule. This manuscript introduces a series of four SASA approximations of increasing computational complexity and accuracy as well as knowledge-based environment free energy potentials based on these SASA approximations. Their ability to distinguish correctly from incorrectly folded protein models is assessed to balance speed and accuracy for protein structure prediction. We find the newly developed "Neighbor Vector" algorithm provides the most optimal balance of accurate yet rapid exposure measures.

Accurate protein function prediction via graph attention networks with predicted structure information.

Project description:Experimental protein function annotation does not scale with the fast-growing sequence databases. Only a tiny fraction (<0.1%) of protein sequences has experimentally determined functional annotations. Computational methods may predict protein function very quickly, but their accuracy is not very satisfactory. Based upon recent breakthroughs in protein structure prediction and protein language models, we develop GAT-GO, a graph attention network (GAT) method that may substantially improve protein function prediction by leveraging predicted structure information and protein sequence embedding. Our experimental results show that GAT-GO greatly outperforms the latest sequence- and structure-based deep learning methods. On the PDB-mmseqs testset where the train and test proteins share <15% sequence identity, our GAT-GO yields Fmax (maximum F-score) 0.508, 0.416, 0.501, and area under the precision-recall curve (AUPRC) 0.427, 0.253, 0.411 for the MFO, BPO, CCO ontology domains, respectively, much better than the homology-based method BLAST (Fmax 0.117, 0.121, 0.207 and AUPRC 0.120, 0.120, 0.163) that does not use any structure information. On the PDB-cdhit testset where the training and test proteins are more similar, although using predicted structure information, our GAT-GO obtains Fmax 0.637, 0.501, 0.542 for the MFO, BPO, CCO ontology domains, respectively, and AUPRC 0.662, 0.384, 0.481, significantly exceeding the just-published method DeepFRI that uses experimental structures, which has Fmax 0.542, 0.425, 0.424 and AUPRC only 0.313, 0.159, 0.193.

Accurate prediction of protein assembly structure by combining AlphaFold and symmetrical docking.

Project description:AlphaFold can predict the structures of monomeric and multimeric proteins with high accuracy but has a limit on the number of chains and residues it can fold. Here we show that a combination of AlphaFold and all-atom symmetric docking simulations enables highly accurate prediction of the structure of complex symmetrical assemblies. We present a method to predict the structure of complexes with cubic - tetrahedral, octahedral and icosahedral - symmetry from sequence. Focusing on proteins where AlphaFold can make confident predictions on the subunit structure, 27 cubic systems were assembled with a median TM-score of 0.99 and a DockQ score of 0.72. 21 had TM-scores of above 0.9 and were categorized as acceptable- to high-quality according to DockQ. The resulting models are energetically optimized and can be used for detailed studies of intermolecular interactions in higher-order symmetrical assemblies. The results demonstrate how explicit treatment of structural symmetry can significantly expand the size and complexity of AlphaFold predictions.
