Yeast and E. coli ribosomes: Electron microscopy, comparative modeling, and structural genomics. • Yeast Nuclear Pore Complex: Low-resolution modeling of large assemblies; bridging the gaps between structural biology, proteomics, and system biology. • Comments. 4/6/03
S. cerevisiae ribosome Fitting of comparative models into 15Å cryo- electron density map. 43 proteins could be modeled on 20-56% seq.id. to a known structure. The modeled fraction of the proteins ranges from 34-99%. C. Spahn, R. Beckmann, N. Eswar, P. Penczek, A. Sali, G. Blobel, J. Frank. Cell107, 361-372, 2001. 3/25/03
E. coli ribosome H.Gao, J.Sengupta, M.Valle, A. Korostelev, N.Eswar, S.Stagg, P.Van Roey, R.Agrawal, S.Harvey, A.Sali, M.Chapman, and J.Frank. Cell, in press. UponEF-G binding, the ribosome becomes less compact. In contrast to mRNA, many protein contacts undergo large conformational changes, suggesting ribosomal proteins facilitate the dynamics of translation. 4/6/03

70% of models based on <30% sequence identity to template. On average, only a domain per protein is modeled (an “average” protein has 2.5 domains of 175 aa).

Future directions Make sure we have building blocks (structural genomics). Develop methods for simultaneous fitting of proteins into EM density and conformational modeling (induced fit, comparative modeling, ab initio). Need large computing (eg, cluster of hundreds of nodes with >1GB memories). 4/6/03

Modeling macromolecular assemblies by satisfaction of spatial restraints • Representation of a system. • Scoring function (spatial restraints). • Optimization. There is nothing but points and restraints on them. Sali, Ernst, Glaeser, Baumeister. From words to literature in structural proteomics.Nature 422, 216-225, 2003. 3/25/03
Modeling of NPC • Stochiometry. • Parse proteins into domains. • Protein and “sub-complex’ shapes from Stokes radii. • Excluded volume of proteins. • Symmetry of NPC (EM). • Radial and axial localization of proteins (IEM). • Protein-protein proximity (immuno-purification). • Binary protein-protein contacts from “overlay” experiments. • Modeling in the context of the nuclear envelope. • Comparative models for some domains. • Structural genomics of nucleoporins. 4/6/03

Structural proteomics aims to characterize structures of most macromolecular complexes, in space and time. On average, a domain may interact with a few other domains. The function of a complex is determined by its structure and dynamics. There are too many complexes to be determined directly by high-resolution experimental structure determination. Thus, just like in structural genomics, an efficient combination of experiment and computation is required. 4/6/03
Structural Proteomics versus Structural Genomics Potential targets not clear clear Target selection not clear clear Scope not clear clear Structure determination hybrid X-ray or NMR Functional Annotation essential not a major focus There are additional sciences and technologies in structural proteomics, relative to structural genomics. 4/6/03
Characterize most proteinsequencesbased on related knownstructures: The number of “families” is much smaller than the number of proteins. Any one of the members of a family is fine. Sali. Nat. Struct. Biol. 5, 1029, 1998. Sali et al. Nat. Struct. Biol., 7, 986, 2000. Sali. Nat. Struct. Biol.7, 484, 2001. Baker & Sali. Science 294, 93, 2001. Structural Genomics Characterize most protein sequences based on related known structures. There are~16,00030% seq id families (90%) (Vitkup et al. Nat. Struct. Biol. 8, 559, 2001) 3/25/03
Target selection for structural proteomics(scope) Comprehensive coverage. What targets: Stable assemblies? Transient complexes? Pairs of domains? Can they be organized into groups? How many such groups are there? 4/6/03
Target selection for structural proteomics? • There are ~3,000 folds containing ~90% of all sequences. • A target: Binary domain-domain interface. • There may be a finite number of domain-domain interfaces, largely defined by the domain fold types. • Given pairwise interactions, a large assembly may be reconstructed. 4/6/03

Future directions • Development of general/flexible/hierarchical representation of assemblies. • Quantifying spatial information from experiments. • Optimization of structure. • Toy models. • Space, time. 4/6/03
Role of NIH • Structural proteomics is timely and feasible. • Humongous integration of concepts, sciences, methods, tools, people. • Thus, need researchcenters, but also “R01” research. • Significant computing. • Bridging the gaps between structural biology, proteomics, and system biology. 4/6/03
