  1. Shape Modeling and Matching in Protein Structure Identification Sasakthi Abeysinghe, Tao Ju Washington University, St. Louis, USA Matthew Baker, Wah Chiu Baylor College of Medicine, Houston, USA

  2. Shape Matching • Shape comparison • How similar are shape A and shape B? • Application: 3D model retrieval • Shape alignment • What is the best alignment of A onto B? • Application: object recognition and registration

  3. Shape Matching • Shape comparison • How similar are shape A and shape B? • Application: 3D model retrieval • Shape alignment • What is the best alignment of A onto B? • Application: object recognition and registration 1D Protein Sequence 3D Protein Image

  4. Structural Biology • Protein: a sequence of amino acids • Folds into a 3D structure in order to interact with other molecules • Protein function derived from its 3D structure • Identifying protein structure • Imaging methods: X-ray, NMR • Drawback: can not resolve large assemblies, like viruses. …

  5. Domain Problem • Cryo-electron microscopy (Cryo-EM) • Produces 3D density volumes • Drawback: insufficient resolution to resolve atom locations • How to determine protein structure in a cryo-EM volume? ?

  6. Shape Matching Formulation • Matching 1D protein sequence with 3D density volume • Intermediate goal: Matching alpha-helices • One of the basic building blocks in a protein • Identified as cylindrical densities in the volume [Baker 07] • How to align the protein sequence with the cryo-EM volume to match the two sets of helices? ? +

  7. Method Overview • Compatible shape representation • 1D sequence and 3D volume as attributed relational graphs • Graph-based shape matching • A new constrained graph matching problem and an optimal solution • Error-tolerant (inexact) matching

  8. Shape Representation • Protein sequence as attributed relation graph • An edge: a helix segment or a non-helix segment • Attribute: number of amino acids in the segment • A node: end of a helix of end of the sequence • Add additional edges that skip at most m helix segments • To allow matching with a cryo-EM volume that has missing helices

  9. Shape Representation • Graph representation of Cryo-EM volume via skeletons • 3D Skeleton [Ju 06] builds connectivity among detected helices • An edge: a detected helix or a skeleton path between two helices • Attribute: length of the helix or skeleton path • A node: end of a helix of end of the protein • Add additional edges between helix-ends less than d apart • To account for missing helix connectivity in the skeleton

  10. Shape Matching - Problem • Finding two matching chains of helices • Same number of edges • Alternating types between non-helix and helix • Minimal attribute matching error • Uniqueness of this problem: • Inexact: not all edges/nodes in the two graphs are used in the matched sequence • Constrained: the match must have a linear topology

  11. Shape Matching - Review • Previous work on graph matching • Exact matching • Graph mono-morphism [Wong 90] • Sub-graph isomorphism [Ullmann 76, Cordella 99] • Inexact matching • A* search [Nilsson 80], simulated annealing [Herault 90], neural networks [Feng 94], probabilistic relaxation [Christmas 95], genetic algorithms [Wang 97], graph decomposition [Messmer 98] • All designed for un-constrained problems where there is no restriction on the topology of the matched sub-graphs.

  12. Sequence Graph Volume Graph {1,1} Shape Matching - Method • Key idea: utilize the linearity of chains. • Performing depth-first tree-search • Append matching nodes to the incomplete chain with minimal matching error {2,5} 40 {2,2} 42 {2,3} 85 {2,4} 92 • A*-search • Reduce node expansion by estimating future matching error • Optimal if future error estimation is smaller than the actual error. • 3 future error functions are designed {3,5} 91 {3,3} 63 {3,4} 72 {3,4} 48 {3,2} 61 {4,3} 99 {4,5} 51 {6,6} 58

  13. Experimental Setup • Test data • Simulated data: 8 proteins (taken from Protein Data Bank) • Authentic data: 3 proteins (produced at Baylor) • Test modes • Automatic • With a few user-specified helix correspondences • Validation with the actual helix correspondence • Produce a list of candidates sorted by their matching errors • Find out where the actual correspondence ranks in the list

  14. Results - 1 • Bluetongue Virus (simulated, 10 helices, 0 missing) • Actual correspondence ranks #1 + Top Matching Sequence Cryo-EM volume and its skeleton

  15. Results - 2 • Human Insulin Receptor (simulated, 9 helices, 1 missing) • Actual correspondence ranks #1 + + Top Matching Sequence Cryo-EM volume and its skeleton

  16. Results - 3 • Bacteriophage P22 (authentic, 11 helices, 6 missing) • Actual correspondence ranks #4 + Top Matching Actual Correspondence Sequence Cryo-EM skeleton

  17. Results - 4 • Triose Phosphate Isomerase (simulated, 12 helices, 3 missing) • Before user-specification: actual correspondence not in the candidate list • Given 2 specified helix pairs: actual correspondence ranks #9 + Top Matching Without user-specification Cryo-EM skeleton with 2 use-specified helix pairs Sequence Actual Correspondence

  18. Result - Summary • Among the 11 proteins, the correct correspondence ranks among the candidate list computed by our method: • Top 1: 4 proteins • Within top 10: 2 proteins (1 simulated) • Top 1 after user-interaction: 2 proteins (both simulated) • 4 specified helix pairs in a 14/20-helix protein. • Within top 10 after user-interaction: 3 proteins • 2 specified helix pairs in a 6/9/12-helix protein • Performance • Under 4 seconds for proteins with 20 helices • Compare: [Wu 05] uses exhaustive search and takes 16 hours for finding correspondences in proteins with 8 helices

  19. Conclusion • Formulate protein structure identification as shape matching • 1D protein sequence vs. 3D cryo-EM density volume • Compatible representation of disparate biological data as graphs • Formulate a constrained inexact matching problem and propose an optimal solution • Based on A*-search • Validation on simulated and authentic data

  20. Future Work (Bio) • Incorporating beta-sheets for improved accuracy • Challenge: the match is no longer a linear chain • Integrating homology and ab initio modeling • Utilizing known 3D structure of segments • Refining the alignment by molecular energy minimization

  21. Future Work (CS) • Faster graph matching algorithm • Explore variants of A*-search to reduce running time for larger proteins (>20 helices) • Better skeleton generation • Generate skeletons directly from gray-scale density volume for iso-value-independent representation • Utilize cell-complex-based skeleton for better skeleton geometry • Currently used for topology editing, see [Ju, Zhou and Hu. Siggraph 2007]
