Result Statistics

  • Overlap

To illustrate the overlap of the returned sequences for the sequences searches, Venn Diagrams were drawn.

Figure 1: Comparisons of the results for the PSIBLAST runs with each 3 iteraions. (PSI1 = PSI-BLAST run with 3 iterations, E-value cutoff 0.005, PSI3 = PSI-BLAST run with 3 iterations, E-value cutoff 10E6)
Figure 2: Comparisons of the results for the PSIBLAST runs with each 5 iteraions. (PSI2 = PSI-BLAST run with 5 iterations, E-value cutoff 0.005, PSI4 = PSI-BLAST run with 5 iterations, E-value cutoff 10E6)

The PSI-BLAST runs with each 3 iterations returned absolutely the same sequences match our query BCKDHA. The same is true for the PSI-BLAST runs with each 5 iterations. This fact was used to combine their results for the following Venn Diagramm (created with [6]):

Figure 3: Venn diagram showing the overlap of found sequences for the PSI-BLAST runs, BLAST and FASTA

Including BLAST and FASTA, the most interesting fact is that FASTA found more than 2600 more results, that were not returned by any of the other search algorithms. This may be due to no restriction concerning the E-value using the default FASTA search. BLAST returned only one additional Hit, that was not found in any of the PSI-BLAST searches, but which is also included in the FASTA results. Any PSI-BLAST results were also detected by FASTA. Using PSIBLAST with 5 iterations, 6 more Hits were returned than using PSIBLAST with only 3 iterations. This may be due to a longer search time. All in all one could say, that the Search algorithms returned nearly the same sequences matching our query.

Only HHSearch returned not only quite few aligned sequences (10), but also sequences, that were not found by any of the other algorithms. The corresponding Venn Diagram is shown below.

  • Identity Distribution
Identity Distribution for the results from the Sequence Searches

As the PSIBlast runs with each 3 iterations resulted in the same Hits, as well as the PSI-BLAST runs with 5 iterations, the identity distributions for those runs were pooled using the same colour. Remarkable is the identity distribution for the FASTA run, which returned a lot more hits with little identity, that the other runs. All in all, FASTA returned almost 3000 Hits (default parameter search), while all the BLAST/PSIBLAST runs returned not more than 300 Hits each. Therefore a lot of the FASTA 'Hits' have little identity and a quite low E-value (see below), but still FASTA returned some good results.


  • Evalue Distribution
E-value Distribution for the results from the Sequence Searches

The E-value distribution for the sequence searches is quite similar concerining the BLAST and PSI-BLAST results. Only FASTA has a lot wider E-value range, which can be explained by the fact, that FASTA returned about 10 times more Hits, among which a lot of sequences have little identity and therefore a quite high E-value.


  • HSSP recall

To evaluate the outputs of the different alignment tools with the HSSP database, first a preprocessing step had to be made: HSSP uses Uniprot Identifiers, whereas all other alignment programs were run on the nr database, which includes identifiers from PDB, RefSeq, Swissprot, PIR, PFR and EMBL. The mapping was performed using the ID Mapping tool provided by NCBI[7].

BCKDHA HSSP.png

As expected from the large number of Hits in the HSSP file, most of the listed related proteins were not identified by the other alignment tools. The best overlap can be observed with PSIBLAST (5 iterations, but the same is true for the 3 iteration runs and BLAST, as their outputs are nearly identical), where 90% of the converted IDs are also returned by HSSP. A large fraction of FASTA is also covered in HSSP. But as FASTA was run without any E-value restriction it returned also a lot of sequences with low identity which are not likely to have the same structure and are therefore not found using the structural alignment tool HSSP.

Precision and recall for the different alignment methods calculated.

Functionally important residues

The functionally important sites are according to Uniprot[8] the following sites:

  • Metal binding site, S: 206 (161)
  • Metal binding site, Q: 211 (166)
  • Metal binding site, I: 212 (167)

As the Uniprot sequence is 445 aa long and the PDB sequence (1U5B) only 400 aa (without transit sequence), one has to consider the offset. The functional site positions in brackets are used to determine their conservation in the multiple sequence alignments.

Conservation ClustalW Cobalt Muscle T-Coffee T-Coffee 3D
