Sequence/structure analysis

[sillitoe]

For 3.20.20.190 (and hopefully 2.30.29.30) provide:

• sequence alignments (based on structure)
• structure superpositions (including HETATMs)

[tonyelewis]

Attaching 3.20.20.190.zip (GitHub's preferred format) containing files arising from aligning+superposing the s-reps of 3.20.20.190 [v4.1.0]:

• 3.20.20.190.faa - a FASTA alignment
• 3.20.20.190.html - an HTML rendering of the alignment:
  • rainbow colouring (blue → red) shows the position on the alignment (N → C)
  • colour saturation shows structural similarity
• 3.20.20.190.pml - a PyMOL superposition:
  • F1 – F3 keys change the colouring scheme
  • black sticks are atoms in non-polymer organic compounds, accessible under the organic selection
  • core/noncore selections identify structurally well-conserved/poorly-conserved residues respectively (so, for example, clicking noncore → H (Hide) → everything leaves only the core showing)
  • alignment shows lines between aligned residues and can be activated by selecting alignment and then clicking S (Show) → dashes (note: the distorted cartoon representation can miss the alignment lines whereas the ribbon representation touches them precisely)
• 3.20.20.190.superposed_pdbs.tar.gz - a .tar.gz of a directory of the superposed PDB files

These files should contain all residues and all pertinent ATOM / HETATM records (including, eg MSE HETATM records). Please shout if you spot any absences.

Here's an image of the superposition:

At present, cath-tools's high-quality alignment procedure is a bit slow to handle the 116 s-reps in 2.30.29.30 but I'm happy to generate derived files if someone gives me an alignment.

Dear Tony and Ian,

would it be possible to obtain the same types of alignments (structure and sequence) for the superfamily of PH domains, i.e. Superfamily 2.30.29.30? It is a fairly big family with many structure representatives....

Best, Nathalie

We haven't been able to look into vastly speeding up the heavy-refining process we previously used (above) but we have added a light-refining process. This can leave the alignment more gappy than it should be (ie it doesn't always align residues that should be aligned) but it should do a pretty good job of aligning core residues.

I've performed this light-refining structural alignment for 2.30.29.30 with v4.2.0 data. You can get the results from this file : 2.30.29.30.4_2_0.light_refining.tar.gz.

For a short time, I'll also leave the individual files on my account on the UCL server:

• 2.30.29.30.4_2_0.light_refining.fa - FASTA alignment
• 2.30.29.30.4_2_0.light_refining.html - HTML rendering of alignment
• 2.30.29.30.4_2_0.light_refining.pml - PyMOL script containing superposition (very slow to load)
• 2.30.29.30.4_2_0.light_refining.pymol_draw.jpg PyMOL image of the superposition

Thank you very much Tony, this is extremely helpful. The extra gaps in the sequence alignment should not be much of a problem for us, we'll have a look at it.

Dear Tony,

Thank you for the files. I'm working with Nathalie on a project based on these structural alignments. Please, may you add the directory of the superposed PDB files for the 2.30.29.30 superfamily ?

Kind regards, Helene

[tonyelewis]

Yes - here are the PDBs: 2.30.29.30.4_2_0.light_refining.pdbs.tar.gz

...and here's a PyMOL ray-traced image of the superposition:

Thank you!
