摘要

The task of recognizing protein sequence-structure compatibility (or threading) holds promise for detecting similarities that can not be seen with sequence analysis alone. The development of a method that can recognize a fold as well as the correct correspondence (or alignment) to the sequence remains a major challenge. We have created a new threading evaluation function that (1) uses a full atomic representation of structure (rapidly instantiating a plausible set of sidechains), (2) reflects the idiosyncrasies of particular environments within a fold family, and (3) is very sensitive to shifts away from the correct alignment. We illustrate these characteristics in the context of the globin family. We created a statistical model of globin environments using a structural alignment of 13 globin (and globin-like) molecules. We tested these with cross-validation, and found that our method reliably recognizes the correct alignments with sequence identities in the range of 11% to 18% identity, as long as the backbone upon which the sequence is threaded (the template backbone) is within 2.9 A RMSD of the actual backbone. When the backbone is more than 3.0 A from the template backbone, we are unable to detect the correct alignment. Our method shows sensitivity to both systematic and random shifts in the alignment―even with shifts of a single residue. These results suggest that threading methods using atomic detail and statistical descriptions of structural environments can be effective. Such methods, however, make the search for sequence-structure compatibility more difficult, since they create narrow, steep optima.
