Results

HHSearch

Installation

Preparing the HHM-Database
Configure HHSearch-Tools

In the manual of HHSearch it was adviced to add the information of the secondary structure to the multiple alignment used for the query. Therefore it was necessary to run the addpsipred script of HHSearch. This script was not configured in the virtual box. Several parameters have to be adjusted.

  • Changes in /apps/bin/addpsipred:

my $psipreddir="/apps/psipred_2.5";
my $ncbidir="/apps/blast_old/bin";
my $perl="/apps/bin";
my $dummydb="/home/student/tmp";

  • Copy /apps/bin/reformat to /apps/bin/reformat.pl


Running

Parameterset 1

time hhsearch -i ./reference.fasta -d /data/hmm/pdb70.db -b 500 -o ./reference_simple.hhsearch

real 8m33.171s
user 5m14.530s
sys 0m3.510s

Parameterset 2

alignblast reference_psi_e10E-6_i3.blast reference_psi_e10E-6_i3.a3m
addpsipred /home/student/workspace/reference_psi_e10E-6_i3.a3m
time hhsearch -i reference_psi_e10E-6_i3.a3m -d /data/hmm/pdb70.db -o reference_psi_e10E-6_i3.hhsearch

To run HHSearch with the profile of a PSI-BLAST search the output of PSI-BLAST has to be converted to a multiple alignment by the script alignblast. The performance of HHSearch can be increases by adding the information of the secondary structure to the multiple alignment. This can be done with the script addspipred (uses the secondary structure prediction of PSIPRED).

Comparing the Results

HSSP - Some Positives

Getting the entry of PAH from HSSP http://mrs.cmbi.ru.nl/mrs-5/entry?db=hssp&id=2pah&q=phenylalanine%20hydroxylase

HSSP - More Positives

HHSearch was run with a dataset of the PDB. BLAST was run with the a dataset of the NR database. NR itself is a mixture of SwissProt, RefSeq, PIR, PRF, PDB and GenBank CDS translations. HSSP itself contains only references to SwissProt entries. Therefore it was necessary to get the cross-references of the Swissprot entries in HSSP to the other databases. For this purpose we created a java-tool (only runable with linux).
