IDP-LZerD: Software for Modeling Disordered Protein Interactions.

ABSTRACT: Modeling the tertiary structure of protein-protein interaction complex has been well studied over many years, especially in the case where the structures of both binding partners are roughly the same before and after binding. However, the assembly of complexes with less-ordered partners is a much harder problem, and modeling even small amounts of flexibility can pose a challenge. In an extreme case, where one of the binding partners is intrinsically disordered before binding, we have previously shown that by initially disregarding the coupling between windows of these intrinsically disordered proteins (IDPs), we can reliably assemble complexes involving IDPs up to at least 69 residues long. Here, we detail the use of the IDP-LZerD package and protocol.

Project description:The biological function of proteins is determined not only by their static structures but also by the dynamic properties of their conformational ensembles. Numerous high-accuracy static structure prediction tools have been recently developed based on deep learning; however, there remains a lack of efficient and accurate methods for exploring protein dynamic conformations. Traditionally, studies concerning protein dynamics have relied on molecular dynamics (MD) simulations, which incur significant computational costs for all-atom precision and struggle to adequately sample conformational spaces with high energy barriers. To overcome these limitations, various enhanced sampling techniques have been developed to accelerate sampling in MD. Traditional enhanced sampling approaches like replica exchange molecular dynamics (REMD) and frontier expansion sampling (FEXS) often follow the MD simulation approach and still cost a lot of computational resources and time. Variational autoencoders (VAEs), as a classic deep generative model, are not restricted by potential energy landscapes and can explore conformational spaces more efficiently than traditional methods. However, VAEs often face challenges in generating reasonable conformations for complex proteins, especially intrinsically disordered proteins (IDPs), which limits their application as an enhanced sampling method. In this study, we presented a novel deep learning model (named Phanto-IDP) that utilizes a graph-based encoder to extract protein features and a transformer-based decoder combined with variational sampling to generate highly accurate protein backbones. Ten IDPs and four structured proteins were used to evaluate the sampling ability of Phanto-IDP. The results demonstrate that Phanto-IDP has high fidelity and diversity in the generated conformation ensembles, making it a suitable tool for enhancing the efficiency of MD simulation, generating broader protein conformational space and a continuous protein transition path.
