The distinction between the mutated side chain position of pymol and SCWRL is that the mutated side chain of SCWRL is flipped to the empty C branch of the WT and pymols side chain is flipped to the CO branch of the WT. Hence, we may assume that they form different polar interactions.

A detailed task description can be found here.

Selection of protein structure

We had the following choice of reference structures for PAH:

Entry Method Resolution (A) Chain Positions
1DMW X-Ray 2.00 A 118-424
1J8T X-Ray 1.70 A 103-427
1J8U X-Ray 1.50 A 103-427
1KW0 X-Ray 2.50 A 103-427
1LRM X-Ray 2.10 A 103-427
1MMK X-Ray 2.00 A 103-427
1MMT X-Ray 2.00 A 103-427
1PAH X-Ray 2.00 A 117-424
1TDW X-Ray 2.10 A 117-424
1TG2 X-Ray 2.20 A 117-424
2PAH X-Ray 3.10 A/B 118-452
3PAH X-Ray 2.00 A 117-424
4PAH X-Ray 2.00 A 117-424
5PAH X-Ray 2.10 A 117-424
6PAH X-Ray 2.15 A 117-424

All these structures have in common that they did not solve the structure of the whole PAH protein. They only solve the catalytic domain of PAH, the missing parts are the tetramerisation domain and the regulatory domain which are located at the N- and C- terminal ends. In addition, there is no complete true apo structure available either. All structures have at least a Fe2+ atom bound. Because of this we thought it might be better if we select a structure which has all reaction components or at least most of them bound in the catalytic site in order to get a good picture of the binding site configuration. Though, only 1KW0 and 1MMK fulfilled the constrains that all reaction components are bound.

In the end we did not select 1KW0 or 1MMK, we decided us for the structure 1J8U which is complexed with Fe2+ and BH4 (5,6,7,8-TETRAHYDROBIOPTERIN). Only. This has simple reasons. First of all it has the lowest resolution (1.5 Angstrom) and secondly we already used this structure in previous task as our reference structure for PAH. So we think to keep our experiments more consistent we should stay with this structure. Furthermore, we identified this structure to have no gaps and it solves the complete catalytic domain (as all available structures). Also, the R-Value looked good to us which is 0.157.

To sum it up our selected structure 1J8U has the following experimental metrics (taken from PDBe):

Mapping mutations to the structure

We identifier the following functional residues and catalytic sites with the help of UniProt entry P00439 and Catalytic Site Atlas. We looked for catalytic sites in the structure of 1J8U.

We identified the following functional residues and catalytic sites:

  • HIS 285, functional part: side chain (from CSA)
  • HIS 290 (from UniProt)
  • GLU 330 (from UniProt)
  • SER 349, functional part: side chain (from CSA)

In the following picture we can see the Fe+2 atom as a brown sphere, BH4 as a cloud of green blue and red spheres, the location of the mutated residues in orange (mutation I65T and R71H are not included) and the four identified catalytic sites in yellow:

I65T

This mutation is not part of our structure but we would say probably no effect on catalytic site because it is too far away.

R71H

This mutation is not part of our structure but we would say probably no effect on catalytic site because it is too far away.

R158Q

Probably no effect on catalytic site because it is too far away.

R261Q

Probably no effect on catalytic site because it is too far away.

T266A

No direct influence on catalytic site residue. However, this residue is located what we would define as the catalytic center.

P275S

Probably no effect on catalytic site because it is too far away.

T278N

No direct influence on catalytic site residue. However, this residue is located what we would define as the catalytic center. ´

P281L

Probably direct influence on catalytic site residue HIS 285. In addition, this residue is located what we would define as the catalytic center.

G312D

Probably no effect on catalytic site because it is too far away.

R408W

Probably no effect on catalytic site because it is too far away.


Introducing mutations to 1J8U

Introducing mutations to 1J8U with SCWRL

We had to employ several steps to introduce our mutated residues to our structure with SCWRL:

1. extract amino acid sequence from PDB file

/apps/scripts/repairPDB 1J8U.pdb -seq > 1J8U_seq.txt

2. convert all upper case residues to lower case

vim 1J8U_seq.txt
:%s/.*/\L&/g

3. create one sequence file for each mutation and put the residue to mutate as an uppercase letter

4. execute SCWRL for each mutation

/apps/scwrl4/Scwrl4 -i 1J8U.pdb -s 1J8U_seq_R158Q.txt -o 1J8U_R158Q.pdb | tee scwrl_r158q.out

SCWRL versus PyMol: Comparison of the rotation of the side chains

I65T

Could not compare the side chain of this mutation since this position is not included in 1J8U.

R71H

Could not compare the side chain of this mutation since this position is not included in 1J8U.

R158Q

Orange: side chain of the WT Yellow: side chain of mutated residue (PyMol) Pink: side chain of mutated residue (SCWRL)

R158Q.png

As seen in the picture the mutated side chain of SCWRL (in pink) points now in the same direction as the lower part of the WT side chain (seen in orange). In contrast to that the calculated side chain rotation of pymol points towards the adjacent alpha-helix.

R261Q

Orange: side chain of the WT Yellow: side chain of mutated residue (PyMol) Pink: side chain of mutated residue (SCWRL)

R261Q.png

All three side chains point into the same direction. However, we could observe that the side chain calculated by SCWRL is rotated around the Y-axis.

T266A

Orange: side chain of the WT Yellow: side chain of mutated residue (PyMol) Pink: side chain of mutated residue (SCWRL)

T266A task7.png

All three side chains point into the same direction. the rotation of pymol and SCWRL is the same. However, this is not surprising since alanine has no side chain.

P275S

Orange: side chain of the WT Yellow: side chain of mutated residue (PyMol) Pink: side chain of mutated residue (SCWRL)

P275S task7.png

All three side chains point into the same direction. Also the rotation of the mutatant side chain of pymol and SCWRL is the same.

T278N

Orange: side chain of the WT Yellow: side chain of mutated residue (PyMol) Pink: side chain of mutated residue (SCWRL)

T278N task7.png

The distinction between the mutated side chain position of pymol and SCWRL is that the mutated side chain of SCWRL is flipped to the empty C branch of the WT and pymols side chain is flipped to the CO branch of the WT. Hence, we may assume that they form different polar interactions.

P281L

Orange: side chain of the WT Yellow: side chain of mutated residue (PyMol) Pink: side chain of mutated residue (SCWRL)

P281L task7.png

The two mutated side chains of pymol and SCWRL point into the same direction. However, they are differently rotated. The side chain produced by poymol points to the FE atom and the side chain produced by SCWRL points to the BH4 molecule.

G312D

Orange: side chain of the WT Yellow: side chain of mutated residue (PyMol) Pink: side chain of mutated residue (SCWRL)

G312D.png

The mutated side chains of pymol and SCWRL are rotated into different directions by approximately 190° around the Y-axis. This leads to a different orientation of the COO ends in pymol and SCWRL.

R408W

Orange: side chain of the WT Yellow: side chain of mutated residue (PyMol) Pink: side chain of mutated residue (SCWRL)

R408W.png

Also in our last mutation the mutated residue is rotated differently in pymol and SCWRL. The mutated residue of SCWRL points into the same direction as the WT whereas the the side chain produced by pymol is somehow horizontal to that.

The calculation of the time runs could not be done by a script, therefore we ran gromacs for just AMBER03, AMBERGS and CHARMM each with the nsteps of 125, 250, 500 and 1000. PAH GROMACS Timeplot.png
