Secondary structure prediction

For the secondary structure prediction, we used a reference sequence optained from UniProt. We also used the annotations of the UniProt seqeuence as a reference to compare the predicted secondary structures.

PSIPRED

Figure 1: Secondary Structure predicted by PSIPRED
Source: http://bioinf.cs.ucl.ac.uk/psipred/

PSI-PRED use the PSI-BLAST output as input for a neuronal network which has a single hidden layer and a feed-forward back-propagation architecture to predict the secondary structure.

Results
PSI-PRED predicts a alpha/beta structure. The transmembrane region is predicted as a beta region. A graphical representation of the result is shown in Figure 1.

Jpred3

Jpred use the Jnet algorithm which provides "a three-state (a-helix, ß-strand and coil) prediction of secondary structure at an accuracy of 81.5%" <ref>http://nar.oxfordjournals.org/content/36/suppl_2/W197.abstract</ref>.

Results
Jpred found in it's first blast search a lot of homologous hits with an e-value range from e-163 to 4e-44. There are some self hits included. We continued to the prediction which is:

Comparison with DSSP

DSSP was designed by Wolfgang Kabsch and Chris Sander to provide a standard for the secondary structure assignment. DSSP calculates the secondary structure from PDB structures by using the distances between the atoms.

Results
Because, the PDB sequence is not complete, the dssp assignment is also incomplete. The interessting parts - the signal peptide and the cytoplasmic part - which are predicted as disordered are not covered by DSSP. PSIPRED and JPred predicted the transmembrane region well but assigned the - as disordered predicted - N- and C-terminus as a helical or beta sheet region. But the UniProt assignment gives no structure to this regions as well. Therefore, these regions may unstructured and not yet recognized as disordered regions.

We see a good overlap of the results of all the different methods except for the region at the C-terminus. Here, the PDB file did not provide a sequence, and UniProt did not assign a secondary structure to this region. But interestingly, PSIPRED predict a beta-sheet in this region while JPred predict a helix. As we will show later, this region is proposed to be disordered by the most prediction tools. This could be the reason for the different assignments.

Prediction of disordered regions

The HFE-Gen is not yet known as disordered. It is not contained in the Disprot<ref>http://www.disprot.org/</ref> database. The prediction of unstructured regions predict serveral disorered regions in the protein, but most of them are predicted within secondary structure elements. Just the predicted disordered regions at the C- and N-terminus might be really unstructured but not yet experimentally recongnized because, these regions have no structural assignment.

The predictions are shown below.

DISOPRED

For the prediction, we used the DISOPRED-Server at http://bioinf.cs.ucl.ac.uk/disopred/
DISOPRED is a prediction tool for disordered regions based on a linear SVM. The SVM is trained with 750 non-redundant sequences with high resolution X-ray structures. "Disorder was identified with those residues that appear in the sequence records but with coordinates missing from the electron density map." <ref>http://bioinf.cs.ucl.ac.uk/index.php?id=806</ref> For each protein, a sequence profile was generated by using PSI-BLAST search against a filtered database. The PSI-BLAST profiles were used as input vectors for the SVM.

Result
Disopred predictes two disordered residues at the signal peptide and a disordered region at the end of the sequence which is located inside the cell.

POODLE

POODLE stands for Prediction Of Order and Disorder by machine LEarning.

POODLE provides three different predictions

  • POODLE-S: short disorder regions prediction
  • POODLE-L: long disorder regions prediction (longer 40 residues)
  • unfolded protein prediction


All POODLE variants predict a disordered region at the end of the protein which contains a transmembrane region (pos: 307-330), this shows an evidance for a disordered region at the C-Terminus. But also, all variants predict a short disordered region at the beginning of the sequence which is a part of the signal peptid (pos: 1-22). The score distribution over the sequence is shown in the Figures 3 to 6.

POODLE-I

POODLE-I (series only) predicted 4 disordered regions within the protein sequence.

IUPRED

IUPRED use the estimated pairwise energy to recognize unstructured regions within protein sequnces. For these, they use the assumption, that all globular proteins have an amino acid composision which gives it the potential to form a large number of favorable interactions.

Results
The short term prediction predicts 5 short regions. There are also disordered residues at the beginning and in the signal peptide.

The prediction of sturcured regions predicts one globular domain from 1-348. This means, that the whole protein is structured. This is a contradiction to the prediction of POODLE, but because of the weak evidence given by the other IUPRED-methods not a real contradiction to the other results of IUPRED.

META-Disorder

For this task, we used the PredictProtein Server at https://www.predictprotein.org. META-Disorder, published in 2009 by Avner Schlessinger, Marco Punta, Guy Yachdav, Laszlo Kajan and Burkhard Rost, use a combined prediction of ORSnet PROFbval and Ucon.

META-Disorder predict a very short disordered region of 3 residues at the end of the protein but with a week evidence of around 0.5. Therefore it is quite unlikely to have a disorered region at the C-Terminus if we just look at this method.

Prediction of transmembrane alpha-helices and signal peptides

General

We were given five additional proteins to work with and predict transmembrane regions, signal peptides and GO terms for. That was done, because most of the practials proteins are no membrane proteins and therefore produce only "no membrane" results. Thus the three membrane proteins [BACR_HALSA], [LAMP1_HUMAN] and [A4_HUMAN] were provided, but also our HFE Protein [HFE_HUMAN] is an membrane protein.

To give you a quick overview about the protein properties, look at the following table:

Accession Entry name Organism Subcelluar location Signal peptide
Q30201 HFE_HUMAN Homo sapiens (Human) Membrane; Single-pass type I membrane protein 1-22
P02945 BACR_HALSA Halobacterium salinarium / (Halobacterium halobium) Cell membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein no
P02753 RET4_HUMAN Homo sapiens (Human) Secreted 1-18
Q9Y5Q6 INSL5_HUMAN Homo sapiens (Human) Secreted 1-22
P11279 LAMP1_HUMAN Homo sapiens (Human) Cell membrane; Single-pass type I membrane protein [...] 1-28
P05067 A4_HUMAN Homo sapiens (Human) Membrane; Single-pass type I membrane protein 1-17

We are going to predict membranes and signaling for these six proteins using different tools. Because our normally adressed protein HFE_HUMAN is an membrane protein and therefore we see the prediction accurancy by using it, we will give only graphical and detailed overview about the results of HFE_HUMAN and group the additional proteins in textual form.

We use the entries at UniProt for the real groundtruth and compare the prediction results shortly with them.


Why is the prediction of transmembrane helices and signal peptides grouped together here?

Transmembrane helices and signal peptides are very hard to differ, if the method only predicts one of them. Therefore many false-positives are produced, because both of them consist almost only out of hydrophobic residues. Because of that, many methods gone the way, to combine the prediction of transmembrane helices and signal peptides, reducing drastically the false-positives.

There are different types of signal peptides, but they all work as an import or export information.

  • Import into the peroxisome
  • Import into the nucleus
  • Export from the nucleus
  • Import into the mitochondrium

TMHMM

TMHMM posterior probabilities

TMHMM is a tool for predicting membrane topology (transmembrane helices) in proteins based on a hidden Markov model with different states. It devides the regions in "inside", "outside" and "TMhelix". But TMHMM can not predict Signal Peptides

TMHMM was used locally in our linux box, after correcting some path issues inside some config files.

The command we used was:

  • tmhmm x.fasta > x.tmhmm

where 'x' stands for one of the UniProt entry name of the proteins. Afterwards we tried to plot the result of HFE_HUMAN with gnuplot, but this was not working either, because of path issues inside the (automatically created) gnuplot script of tmhmm. After correcting the path issues again, gnuplot worked fine and produced successfully graphical output.

A color code is applied to provide easier reading:

  • green: The predicted region matches the experimental resolved region from UniProt (+/- 5 residues allowed). TMHMM succeeded.
  • yellow: The predicted region does only partially match the experimental region (mostly errors with signaling peptides). TMHMM has to be improved.
  • red: The predicted region does absolutely not match the experimental region. TMHMM failed.

TMHMM misses clearly the the signal peptide and counts the region as outside (1-306), which is correct according to UniProt. Also the TMhelix (307-329) and the inside region (330-348) is placed right, only with one amino acid deviation, but that is insignificant. Therefore TMHMM was very successful in prediction of right regions. The results are shown in the figure to the right, too.

Phobius and PolyPhobius

For Phobius and PolyPhobius, we used the webservice<ref>http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/17483518?dopt=Abstract</ref> at http://phobius.sbc.su.se/ with standard settings.

Phobius is a combined predictor for transmembrane protein topology and signal peptide. Phobius models different regions of the seuqence in a series of interconnected states of a HMM.<ref>http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/15111065?dopt=Abstract</ref>
PolyPhobius is a hidden Markov model (HMM) decoding algorithm. It combines probabilities for sequence features of homologs by considering the average of the posterior label probability of each position in a global sequence alignment. PolyPhobius is benchmarked by Phobius. <ref>http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/15961464?dopt=Abstract</ref>

Phobius

predicted regions by Phobius
Source: http://phobius.sbc.su.se/

Phobius predicts very accurate as seen below. The transmembrane region is predicted just 1-2 residues upstream from the annotated region. The same holds for the topological domains before and after the transmembrane region. Also the signal peptid is correctly predicted.

Additional proteins

  • BACR_HALSA: Phobius/Polyphobius are almost the same. There is only a slight change in the domain length, furthermore both methods predicted the membrane topologies right.
  • RET4_HUMAN: Phobius/Polyphobius predicted the position of the signaling peptide correct, the overall prediction is correct, too.
  • INSL5_HUMAN: Phobius/Polyphobius predict again verry accurate and correct. The signaling peptide and extracelluar region are at the correct positions.
  • LAMP1_HUMAN: Phobius/Polyphobius predicted the membrane topology correctly.
  • A4_HUMAN: Phobius/Polyphobius predicted signaling peptide position is correct.

Summing up, Phobius/Polyphobius are very accurate at their predictions about the membrane topology. Polyphobius takes much more time to produce an result, but provide no really better result - sometimes even a bit worser. Because of that, we decided that Phobious is the more comfortable one.

OCTOPUS and SPOCTOPUS

OCTOPUS is a combined mehtod of HMM's and artificial neural networks. OCTOPUS first create a sequence profile by homology search using BLAST. The profile is used as the input to a set of neural networks which predict the preferance of the location for each residue. Each residue is predicted to be either inside or outside the cell and located in a transmembrane (M), interface (I), close loop (L) or globular loop (G) environment.
SPOCTOPUS is an extended version of OCTOPUS that can also predict signal peptides. It use a neural network to predict a signal peptide if the score for each of the 70 N-Terminal residues is high enough.


Both, OCTOPUS and SPOCTOPUS predict the signal peptide and the transmembrane region correctly as you can see in the images below. Also both methods predict a signal peptide at the N-terminus which has the correct length.

The prediction result of OCTOPUS and SPOCTOPUS is the same. They are both correct, because BACR_HALSA does not contain any signal peptides.

  • RET4_HUMAN:

OCTOPUS predictes an TM-helix instead of the signal peptide, SPOCTOPUS corrects this error.

  • INSL5_HUMAN:

Same error for OCTOPUS as seen by RET4_HUMAN, SPOCTOPUS corrects this error again.

  • LAMP1_HUMAN:

OCTOPUS and SPOCTOPUS predict both the TM-helix correctly. But same error for OCTOPUS as seen with RET4_HUMAN, INSL5_HUMAN: instead of signaling peptide an TM-helix and SPOCTOPUS corrects that.

  • A4_HUMAN:

OCTOPUS predictes an Reentrant/Dip region instead of the signal peptide region, SPOCTOPUS corrects that.

SignalP

For using it locally at our linux box, we had to correct again some path issues.

The command we used was:

  • signalp -t y x.fasta > x.signalp

where 'x' stands again for the UniProt entry names of the proteins. 'y' was chosen accordingly to the organism of the protein, for all human proteins 'y' was set to eukaryotes 'euk' and for the bacterial protein P02945 to gram- 'gram-'. This switch specifies the neural network and hidden Markov models, that are seperatly trained for different organismns.

For the graphical output of HFE_HUMAN we used the SignalP server from: http://www.cbs.dtu.dk/services/SignalP

There are three scorings for the SignalP-prediction NN:

  • C-score: 'cleavage site': raw cleavage site prediction
  • S-mean-score: 'average of the S-score': discrimination of secretory and non-secretory proteins
  • Y-max-score: 'combination of C-score with s-core': better cleavage site prediction

SignalP predicts an signal peptide probability with almost 1.0 and thus an signal anchor probability with 0. This leads to the prediction of an cleavage site between pos. 22 and 23.

According to UniProt is there an signal peptide, it starts at pos. 1 to 22, which means, SignalP has predicted the signal peptide and cleavage site with 100% accurancy.

That prediction is accurate, too.

In short, SignalP predicts very accurate the position of the signaling peptide cleavage side, but fails with the non-eukaryont BACR_HALSA.

TargetP

TargetP predict for each of the proteins a signal preptide with high probability. But P02945 which is a bacteria and has no signal peptide, the method seems to be pretty accurate. It scores the prediction at the P02945 with an relibility clause of 4, which is almost neglectable (1 is the highest coinfidence, 5 is the worst).

GOPET has predicted 2 GO terms with 60% coinfidence each, but noone is linked to the protein.

A4_HUMAN

GOPET predicted 13 GO terms in a range of 87% to 67% coinfidence, but only 7 of them are really connected to the protein:

  • serine-type endopeptidase inhibitor activity
  • peptidase inhibitor activity
  • binding
  • protein binding
  • metal ion binding
  • DNA binding
  • heparin binding

Pfam

Pfam is a database that contains protein domains and families. For our search we used the webserver at http://pfam.sanger.ac.uk/search with standard values.

Afterwards we used the pfam2go database, to find the GO-entries matching the pfam descriptions.

Pfam classifies the HFE_Human protein into two families:

Pfam classification of protein families (source: pfam)


  • Family: MHC_I (PF00129)
  • Family: C1-set (PF07654)

For the PF00129 family are four hits at the pfam2go data:

Pfam:PF00129 MHC_I > GO:immune response ; GO:0006955
Pfam:PF00129 MHC_I > GO:antigen processing and presentation ; GO:0019882
Pfam:PF00129 MHC_I > GO:membrane ; GO:0016020
Pfam:PF00129 MHC_I > GO:MHC class I protein complex ; GO:0042612
Significant Pfam-A matches (source: pfam)

All those GO-Entries are at the UniProt entry about HFE_Human, so this family is correct.

For the PF07654 family are no entries at the pfam2go data and thus no validateable crosslinks to UniProt, maybe this family is yet not included in the pfam2go data.

For a more detailed picture have a look at the figure on the right, you can see the Pfam-A matches with alignment.

At a summary, all predicted GO-terms are correct and are crosslinked to the corresponding UniProt entries. But also all predicted GO-term are not exhaustive and at UniProt there are many left.

ProtFun 2.2

ProtFun is an ab initio prediction server.

Results
ProtFun assigned immune response(GO:0006955;Process) to HFE what is correct. But ProtFun predicts just one correct GO-number for the HFE-Gen.
