This text elaborates on the application of Hidden Markov Models (HMMs) for multiple sequence alignment without the need for indel penalties. It emphasizes the utility of HMMs to synthesize experimentally derived information and adjust parameters that reflect observed variations across at least 20 sequences. The document explores evolutionary aspects of sequences, including the introduction of mutations and divergence over time, and highlights how HMMs can act as intermediates to uncover relationships among sequences, enhancing our understanding of sequence evolution and protein structure. ###

Presentation Transcript
Hidden Markov Models • Probabilistic model of a Multiple sequence alignment. • No indel penalties are needed • Experimentally derived information can be incorporated • Parameters are adjusted to represent observed variation. • Requires at least 20 sequences
The Evolution of a Sequence • Over long periods of time a sequence will acquire random mutations. • These mutations may result in a new amino acid at a given position, the deletion of an amino acid, or the introduction of a new one. • Over VERY long periods of time two sequences may diverge so much that their relationship can not see seen through the direct comparison of their sequences.
Hidden Markov Models • Pair-wise methods rely on direct comparisons between two sequences. • In order to over come the differences in the sequences, a third sequence is introduced, which serves as an intermediate. • A high hit between the first and third sequences as well as a high hit between the second and third sequence, implies a relationship between the first and second sequences.Transitive relationship
Introducing the HMM • The intermediate sequence is kind of like a missing link. • The intermediate sequence does not have to be a real sequence. • The intermediate sequence becomes the HMM.
Introducing the HMM • The HMM is a mix of all the sequences that went into its making. • The score of a sequence against the HMM shows how well the HMM serves as an intermediate of the sequence. • How likely it is to be related to all the other sequences, which the HMM represents.

Dirichlet Mixtures • Additional information to expand potential amino acids in individual sites. • Observed frequency of amino acids seen in certain chemical environments • aromatic • acidic • basic • neutral • polar

Proline • Because of its structure, proline is typically excluded from a helices except in the first three positions at the amino end.
b Structure b strand - single run of amino acids in b conformation b sheet- multiple b strands which are hydrogen bonded to yield a sheet like structure. b bulge - disruption of normal hydrogen bonding in a b sheet by amino acid(s) that will not fit into the sheet -for example: proline

Six classes of structure • Class a- bundled a helices connected by loops. • Class b- sandwich or barrel comprised entirely of b sheets typically anti-parallel. • Class a / b mainly parallel b sheets with intervening a helices. • Class a + b - segregated a helices and anti-parallel b sheets • Multi-domain • Membrane proteins
Endonuclease Class a + b

Turn - short, regular loop. • Difference in frequency of amino acids at positions 1-4 of the turn. • Coils (not coiled coil) • Random turns or irregular structure.
Disulfide bridges • Crosslink of two cysteine residues. • Distance between sulfur = 3 Angstroms.

Chou - Fasman Prediction of Secondary Structure • Based upon analysis of known structures (1974). • Frequency of occurrence of each amino acid in: • a helix • b strand • turn
Chou - Fasman Prediction • List is then analyzed for stretches of amino acids that have a common tendency to form a given secondary structure. • Extend until a region of high probability for either a turn or region with a low probability of both a or b is encountered. • Window is typically <10
