How to build customized salign result?
by Ashish Runthala 25 Jul '11

25 Jul '11

Dear Modellers, Tell me the solution to a query. Suppose I have 4 templates for a target sequence. And while using salign_multiple.py, I want to start the progressive alignment specifically from template 2 only, to let others follow this template2 alignment. Tell me the way to make salign force the progressive alignment starting on from a specific template only? Thanks in advance, Ashish -------- Ashish Runthala, Lecturer, Structural Biology Cell, Biological Sciences Group, BITS, Pilani Rajasthan, INDIA

Dope profile of tetramer
by Matthias Schmidt 22 Jul '11

22 Jul '11

Hi, I have a model of a tetramer, and I would like to evaluate/show only the DOPE profile for one chain, because the tetramer is symmetric. Here is the script I used for calculating the DOPE profile: from modeller import * from modeller.scripts import complete_pdb log.verbose() # request verbose output env = environ() env.libs.topology.read(file='$(LIB)/top_heav.lib') # read topology env.libs.parameters.read(file='$(LIB)/par.lib') # read parameters # read model file mdl = complete_pdb(env, 'model.B99990001.pdb') # Assess with DOPE: s = selection(mdl) # all atom selection s.assess_dope(output='ENERGY_PROFILE NO_REPORT', file='model.profile', normalize_profile=True, smoothing_window=15) and for plotting: import pylab import modeller def get_profile(profile_file, seq): """Read `profile_file` into a Python array, and add gaps corresponding to the alignment sequence `seq`.""" # Read all non-comment and non-blank lines from the file: f = file(profile_file) vals = [] for line in f: if not line.startswith('#') and len(line) > 10: spl = line.split() vals.append(float(spl[-1])) # Insert gaps into the profile corresponding to those in seq: for n, res in enumerate(seq.residues): for gap in range(res.get_leading_gaps()): vals.insert(n, None) # Add a gap at position '0', so that we effectively count from 1: vals.insert(0, None) return vals e = modeller.environ() a = modeller.alignment(e, file='3zrs-align-nterm.ali') model = get_profile('3zrs-nterm.profile', a['3zrs-nterm']) template = get_profile('3zrs-nterm.profile', a['3zrs-nterm']) # Plot the template and model profiles in the same plot for comparison: pylab.figure(1, figsize=(10,6)) pylab.xlabel('Alignment position') pylab.ylabel('DOPE per-residue score') pylab.plot(model, color='red', linewidth=2, label='Model') pylab.plot(template, color='green', linewidth=2, label='Template') pylab.legend() pylab.savefig('dope_profile.png', dpi=65) These scripts are from the tutorial on the website.

dear Modeller, trying to upload a sequence in fasta mode to SALIGN I got this error: Sorry, your request was not processed due to the following reason: * directory (/modbase5/home/salign/todo/1299736963_SA_230/upload/unzip/) Core(10)_Helices is still tainted at /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.8/File/Find.pm line 837. *is this my fault? or something else? nava

Dear Sir Benn, You are absolutely correct about CA-CA distance deviations, but when you choose 2 templates with CA-CA distances 5, 6 angstroms, then it will give you a better model as compared to 5, 10 angstroms set. Secondly, precise sequence alignment is always neccessary, but correctly aligned incorrect templates will still give bad models and probably shifted residues as was the general case till CASP5 and CASP6. Iterative Structural alignment also forces mathematical satisfaction of alignment, with no justification of biological significance of optimally placed gaps. So we still need better alignments. Now I request your expert reply against these views.

Multiple templates generally do give better models, but they are more sensitive to alignment errors - the templates have to be quite well aligned with each other, otherwise they will present conflicting information (e.g. one template says that a given CA-CA distance is 5 angstroms, and another 10 angstroms) which is difficult to satisfy.

Multiple Sequence Alignment vs Single Alignment
by Daniel Li 21 Jul '11

21 Jul '11

Hi, I have been reading about modeller usage for awhile and ran some tests with different models from the dual specificity phosphatase family. However, whenever I run the modelling with salign for multiple templates, my GA341 score is many folds lower (under 0.1) and the dope score/molpdf scores are lower as well compared to just a single template. The templates that I use all give me a decent 50%+ identity based on output from build profile and I generally use 3 templates for my multiple template modeling.From reading it seems as if multiple templates should usually generate better scores but running 3 trials of 600 with different sets of templates for different proteins I still get better results from my single template models. So is there something I have to manipulate with the scripts and parameters?I'm sorry for the vague question because I'm not too sure what kind of additional information to provide but I hope someone can provide me with more insight into this. Thank you! Daniel

Dear Daniel, Multiple templates do improve the prediction accuracy as compared to the single best templates. This has been published in several papers. This has been reviewed correctly here Anna Tramontano: Protein Struture Prediction: Concepts and Applications Wiley-VCH; 2006. But here is a trick too, first of all you didn't mention what you actually used. Please answer these queries to help you practically with the best possible answer. 1. Did you use salign_iterative/salign_multiple? 2. What was the length of your sequence? 3. Did you do increased sampling? All the Scores that you discussed won't allow you to rank templates and select their correct set. Hence, it is beneficial if you try to take the correct set of a few biologically related templates.

If you asked for your results to be uploaded into ModBase, you can download the alignment file for each model from that web interface. The header of the alignment file specifies the method that was used to find the template (e.g. sequence-sequence, sequence-profile). If you instead chose to have the models sent directly to you, the alignment file isn't available. But it might still be on our system somewhere - if you email modweb(a)salilab.org with your ModWeb job ID we can see if we can find it for you.

Your alignment file does not match the PDB. Modeller reads the residues sequentially, so what it will see is - A chain amino acids - B chain amino acids - A chain ligands - B chain ligands So your sequence should also be in this order (XXXXXX/XXXXXX/.../.). Alternatively, you can edit the PDB file to place the A chain ligands immediately after the A chain amino acids and leave your alignment unchanged. > Using this structure and the template ali file to do the alignment (w/ > salign) I get poor alignment in the PAP file, but not in the PIR file??? > (P/---XXXX instead of P---/XXX in PAP). Those two alignments are identical. Since neither gaps nor chain breaks are "real" residues, their relative ordering is irrelevant - it only matters which "real" residues (amino acids or ligands) they come between. > "No aligned template residues for BLK residue; number of templates: 1 > Make sure that each BLK residue in your target sequence is aligned with > your templates..." Just like it says, a BLK (".") residue in the target sequence must be aligned with a residue in the template. Usually this means you need a "." residue in the template in the same place as the "." in the target. You can't align a "." with a chain break or gap, because "." means to copy the aligned residue directly from the template to the target, so it needs a "real" residue to copy from.
