E N D
Manual alignment • Difficult for remote homologies • Slow • Low reproductibility • Allows to consider information not included in the sequence
“Equivalent” Aminoácids • Hydrophobic • Ala (A), Val (V), Met (M), Leu (L), Ile (I), Phe (F), Trp (W), Tyr (Y) • Small • Gly (G), Ala (A), Ser (S) • Polar • Ser (S), Thr (T), Asn (N), Gln (Q), Tyr (Y) • Polar and charged are equivalent on the surface • Charged • Asp (D), Glu (E) / Lys (K), Arg (R) • Hard to replace (special function) • Gly (G), Pro (P), Cys (C), His (H)

Multiple alignment & functional prediction Aim: Predict function from sequence
General strategies • Group sequences in a “family” (BLAST, PFAM) • Recognize sequence fragments (short) related to functional or structural features
Multiple alignment • Global alignment, more than two sequences • Allow to include the importance of the position in the alignment • Allow to define conserved residues • Residues with functional or structural importance • Tree determinants • Correlated mutations
Multiple alignments • Low similarity, only two sequences: AVTTGLNMWTTAKRPGMDDFYTILLPGLMNCIGLFTAIDMHFFGRKPACEEYFTLVVDGLCNCI • Low similarity, multiple sequences: GIFTDIDMHFYVKKPGLDEFFTLVLRTLCMAAALTTGIDMWTTAKRPDMDDYYTIIIPGLMNCIAVTTGLNMWTTAKRPGMDDFYTILLPGLMNCIGVTTGLNMYFTARRPGLDEFYTLVLRTLCMCL GIFTDIDMHFYVKKPGLDEFFTLVLRTLCMAAAVTTGLNMWTTAKRPGMDDFYTILLPGLMNCIGLFTALNMHFFGRKPACEEYFTLVVDGLCNCI

Profiles • The use of profiles increases the information available and allow to extract “family” features opposite to individual sequence features
HMM profiles • Statistical models (Hidden Markov Models) to build profiles. • The model is “trained” using multiple alignments to determine evolution probabilities. • They contain a “theoretical machinery” that allows to understand sequence relatioships in a quantitative basis.
The twilight zone • Identity below 25 % • Structural similarity exists but it is difficult to identify it using standard methods
PSI-BLAST • Blast search based on profiles prepared dynamically: • Standard Blast search • Building of a position-specific score matrix (PSSM) from the alignment • New search against the profile • Repeat until self-consistence
PSI-BLAST • PSI-BLAST cannot find what Blast cannot detect • E-value for inclusion/exclusion must be chosen carefully (0.01) • Some times the system goes to non-sense results • Number of iterations is usually kept small
Motifs • Motif: short sequence fragment. Highly conserved, related to some structural or functional feature • Conserved in distant homologues, due to functional or structural restrictions • Help to functional prediction and to detect remote homology
