Objectives • Understand why BLAST often fails for low sequence similarity • See the beauty of sequence profiles • Position specific scoring matrices (PSSMs) • Use BLAST to generate Sequence profiles • Use profiles to identify amino acids essential for protein function and structure
What goes wrong when Blast fails? • Conventional sequence alignment uses a (Blosum) scoring matrix to identify amino acids matches in the two protein sequences
Alignment scoring matrices • Blosum62 score matrix. Fg=1. Ng=0?
Alignment scoring matrices • Blosum62 score matrix. Fg=1. Ng=0? • Score =2-1+6+6+4=17 LAGDS I-GDS
What goes wrong when Blast fails? • Conventional sequence alignment uses a (Blosum) scoring matrix to identify amino acids matches in the two protein sequences • This scoring matrix is identical at all positions in the protein sequence! EVVFIGDSLVQLMHQC X X X X X X AGDS.GGGDS
When Blast works! 1PLC._ 1PLB._
When Blast fails! 1PLC._ 1PMY._
Sequence profiles • In reality not all positions in a protein are equally likely to mutate • Some amino acids (active cites) are highly conserved, and the score for mismatch must be very high • Other amino acids can mutate almost for free, and the score for mismatch should be lower than the BLOSUM score • Sequence profiles can capture these differences

How to make sequence profiles • Align (BLAST) sequence against large sequence database (Swiss-Prot) • Select significant alignments and make sequence profile • Use profile to align against sequence database to find new significant hits • Repeat 2 and 3 (normally 3 times!)

Take home message • Blast will often fail to recognize sequence relationships for low homology sequence pairs • Sequence profiles contain information on conserved/variable residues in a protein sequence • Sequence profiles are calculated from (multiple) sequence alignments • Iterative Blast enables homology recognition also for low sequence similarity • Sequence profiles give information on residues essential for protein function and protein structure
