superpose - structural alignment based on secondary structure matching and is based on the Secondary Structure Matching (SSM) advanced graph-matching algorithm. It is part of the CCP4 package and was written by Eugene Krissinel of the European Bioinformatics Institute, Cambridge, UK.
Contents
Background
"While high sequence similarity almost always implies structural similarity, the opposite is not true. It is therefore expected that three-dimensional alignment will provide more significant clues to protein function and properties than sequence alignment alone".[1]
Most similarity measures are based on the evaluation of the size of common substructures, for example the length of alignment (the longer, the better), and a measure of the distance between them, such as r.m.s.d. (the lower, the better).
The graph-theoretical approach typically includes three major steps:
- graph representation of the objects in question;
- matching the graphs representing the objects; and
- evaluating the common subgraphs found in order to form conclusions about similarity.
Several approaches to protein structure alignment have been explored over the past decade. The techniques used include:
- comparison of distance matrices (DALI)[2];
- analysis of differences in vector distance plots[3];
- minimization of the soap-bubble surface area between two protein backbones[4];
- dynamic programming on pairwise distances between the proteins' residues[5][6][7];
- secondary-structure elements (SSEs)[8];
- three-dimensional clustering[9][10];
- graph theory[11][12][13];
- combinatorial extension of alignment path (CE)[14];
- vector alignment of SSEs (VAST)[15];
- depth-first recursive search on SSE (DEJAVU)[16]; and
- many others.[17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25]
Most details of protein fold may be expressed in terms of just two types of SSEs, namely helices (including what type of helix) and strands.
Usually the connectivity of SSEs is significant; however, there are situations where it may or should be neglected (e.g. comparison of mutated or engineered proteins, or geometry of active sites). This is the case I am interested in. That is, one can have three-dimensional SSE graphs that are geometrically identical yet have a difference in connectivity between the SSEs. Flexible connectivity is handled in the following ways:
- Connectivity of SSEs is neglected;
- "Soft" connectivity: The general order of matched SSEs along their protein chains is the same in both structures, but any number of missing or unmatched SSEs between the matched ones is allowed; and
- "Strict" connectivity: Matched SSEs follow the same order along their protein chains and may be separated only by an equal number of matched or unmatched SSEs in both structures.
The decrease in structure similarity is seen as an exponential-like increase in RMSD, which has also been found in other studies.[26][27][28][29]
- Rouvray et al., address the problems of structure comparison and recognition by the graph-theoretical approach.[30]
Scores
Q score
where, Nalign is the number of residues that align with each other, N1 and N2 are the input structures, and R0 is an empirical parameter (chose at 3 Å) that measure the relative significance of RMSD and Nalign.
Q reaches 1 only for identical structures (Nalign = N1 = N2 and RMSD = 0), and decreases to zero with decreasing similarity (increasing RMSD or/and decreasing Nalign. Despite the fact that the Q score represents a very basic measure that does not take into account many factors related to the quality of alignment (the number of gaps and their size, sequence identity, etc.), we found that maximization of the Q score produces good results.
The higher the Q score the "better", in general, the alignment.
Sequence Identity (SI)
Nm = Nalign / min(N1,N2)
where, Nm is the normalized alignment length.
The sequence identity is defined as a fraction of identical residues in the total number of (structurally) aligned residues:
SI = Nident / Nalign
SI <20% is a solid indication of low structural similarity.
Usage
superpose foo_1st.pdb [-s CID1] foo_2nd.pdb [-s CID2] [foo_out.pdb]
where [-s CID1/2] are optional selection strings in MMDB convention, and [foo_out.pdb] is optional output file.
- Simple example:
superpose unbound.pdb bound.pdb fitted.pdb
Keywords
secondary-structure elements (SSEs), singular value decomposition (SVM; of the correlation matrix, following the method described by Lesk[31]), RMSD
