Título: | An Analysis of Core Deformations in Protein Superfamilies |
Autor: | Leo-Macías, Alejandra CSIC ORCID; López-Romero, Pedro; Lupyan, Dmitry; Zerbino, Daniel; Ortiz, Ángel R. CSIC | Palabras clave: | Protein superfamilies | Fecha de publicación: | 12-nov-2004 | Editor: | Biophysical Society | Citación: | Biophysical Journal 88:1291-1299 (2005) | Resumen: | An analysis is presented on how structural cores modify their shape across homologous proteins, and whether or not a relationship exists between these structural changes and the vibrational normal modes that proteins experience as a result of the topological constraints imposed by the fold. A set of 35 representative, well-populated protein families is studied. The evolutionary directions of deformation are obtained by using multiple structural alignments to superimpose the structures and extract a conserved core, together with principal components analysis to extract the main deformation modes from the three-dimensional superimposition. In parallel, a low-resolution normal mode analysis technique is employed to study the properties of the mechanical core plasticity of these same families. We show that the evolutionary deformations span a low dimensional space of 4–5 dimensions on average. A statistically significant correspondence exists between these principal deformations and the 20 slowest vibrational modes accessible to a particular topology. We conclude that, to a significant extent, the structural response of a protein topology to sequence changes takes place by means of collective deformations along combinations of a small number of low-frequency modes. The findings have implications in structure prediction by homology modeling. | Versión del editor: | http://www.biophysj.org/cgi/content/abstract/biophysj.104.052449v1 | URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/10261/8022 | ISSN: | 0006-3495 | E-ISSN: | 1542-0086 |
