Protein function prediction

<h2 id="homology-based-methods">Homology-based methods</h2>
Main articles: <a href="/facts/Homology_(biology)/muctKlyT">Homology (biology)</a> and <a href="/facts/Sequence_alignment/p8GQfF7b">Sequence alignment</a>
 Proteins of <a href="/facts/Sequence_similarity_search/p8GQfF7b">similar sequence</a> are usually <a href="/facts/Homology_(biology)/muctKlyT">homologous</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:7" href="#fn:7">7</a> and thus have a similar function. Hence proteins in a newly sequenced <a href="/facts/Genome/31Sm08JT">genome</a> are routinely annotated using the sequences of similar proteins in related genomes.
However, closely related proteins do not always share the same function.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:8" href="#fn:8">8</a> For example, the yeast Gal1 and Gal3 proteins are <a href="/facts/Paralog/mCIVStrA">paralogs</a> (73% identity and 92% similarity) that have evolved very different functions with Gal1 being a <a href="/facts/Galactokinase/zdkr2PAl">galactokinase</a> and Gal3 being a transcriptional inducer.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:9" href="#fn:9">9</a>
There is no hard sequence-similarity threshold for "safe" function prediction; many proteins of barely detectable sequence similarity have the same function while others (such as Gal1 and Gal3) are highly similar but have evolved different functions. As a rule of thumb, sequences that are more than 30-40% identical are usually considered as having the same or a very similar function.
For <a href="/facts/Enzyme/DSI1Fh7y">enzymes</a>, predictions of specific functions are especially difficult, as they only need a few key residues in their <a href="/facts/Active_site/u9ua7rGu">active site</a>, hence very different sequences can have very similar activities. By contrast, even with sequence identity of 70% or greater, 10% of any pair of enzymes have different substrates; and differences in the actual enzymatic reactions are not uncommon near 50% sequence identity.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:10" href="#fn:10">10</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:11" href="#fn:11">11</a>

<h3>Sequence motif-based methods</h3>
The development of protein domain databases such as <a href="/facts/Pfam/BKJa293w">Pfam</a> (Protein Families Database)<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:12" href="#fn:12">12</a> allow us to find known domains within a query sequence, providing evidence for likely functions. The <a href="/facts/DcGO/mFELnzst">dcGO</a> website<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:13" href="#fn:13">13</a> contains annotations to both the individual domains and supra-domains (i.e., combinations of two or more successive domains), thus via dcGO Predictor allowing for the function predictions in a more realistic manner. Within <a href="/facts/Protein_domain/oUpFcSsl">protein domains</a>, shorter signatures known as 'motifs' are associated with particular functions,<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:14" href="#fn:14">14</a> and motif databases such as <a href="/facts/PROSITE/TcqJLVBc">PROSITE</a> ('database of protein domains, families and functional sites') can be searched using a query sequence.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:15" href="#fn:15">15</a> Motifs can, for example, be used to predict <a href="/facts/Subcellular_localization/50QUENGB">subcellular localization</a> of a protein (where in the cell the protein is sent after synthesis). Short signal peptides direct certain proteins to a particular location such as the mitochondria, and various tools exist for the prediction of these signals in a protein sequence.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:16" href="#fn:16">16</a> For example, SignalP, which has been updated several times as methods are improved.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:17" href="#fn:17">17</a>
Thus, aspects of a protein's function can be predicted without comparison to other full-length homologous protein sequences.

<h2 id="structure-based-methods">Structure-based methods</h2>
Main articles: <a href="/facts/Protein_structure/BptnTs9X">Protein structure</a> and <a href="/facts/Protein_structure_prediction/sj6AbLjI">Protein structure prediction</a>
Because 3D <a href="/facts/Protein_structure/BptnTs9X">protein structure</a> is generally more well conserved than protein sequence, structural similarity is a good indicator of similar function in two or more proteins.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:18" href="#fn:18">18</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:19" href="#fn:19">19</a> Many programs have been developed to screen a known protein structure against the <a href="/facts/Protein_Data_Bank/oUhq4ABD">Protein Data Bank</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:20" href="#fn:20">20</a> and report similar structures (for example, FATCAT (Flexible structure AlignmenT by Chaining AFPs (Aligned Fragment Pairs) with Twists),<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:21" href="#fn:21">21</a> CE (combinatorial extension)<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:22" href="#fn:22">22</a>) and DeepAlign (protein structure alignment beyond spatial proximity).<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:23" href="#fn:23">23</a> Similarly, the main protein databases, such as <a href="/facts/UniProt/lfDDHjAl">UniProt</a>, have built-in tools to search any given protein sequences against structure databases, and link to related proteins of known structure.

<h3>Protein structure prediction</h3>
To deal with the situation that many protein sequences have no solved structures, some function prediction servers such as <a href="/facts/RaptorX/dokKrRus">RaptorX</a> are also developed that can first predict the 3D model of a sequence and then use structure-based method to predict functions based upon the predicted 3D model. In many cases instead of the whole protein structure, the 3D structure of a particular motif representing an <a href="/facts/Active_site/u9ua7rGu">active site</a> or binding site can be targeted.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:24" href="#fn:24">24</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:25" href="#fn:25">25</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:26" href="#fn:26">26</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:27" href="#fn:27">27</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:28" href="#fn:28">28</a> The Structurally Aligned Local Sites of Activity (SALSA)<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:29" href="#fn:29">29</a> method, developed by <a href="/facts/Mary_Jo_Ondrechen/cNRboe5C">Mary Jo Ondrechen</a> and students, utilizes computed chemical properties of the individual amino acids to identify local biochemically active sites. Databases such as Catalytic Site Atlas<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:30" href="#fn:30">30</a> have been developed that can be searched using novel protein sequences to predict specific functional sites.

<h3>Computational solvent mapping</h3>

One of the challenges involved in protein function prediction is discovery of the active site. This is complicated by certain active sites not being formed – essentially existing – until the protein undergoes conformational changes brought on by the binding of small molecules. Most protein structures have been determined by <a href="/facts/X-ray_crystallography/WtI0F5DN">X-ray crystallography</a> which requires a purified protein <a href="/facts/X-ray_crystallography/WtI0F5DN">crystal</a>. As a result, existing structural models are generally of a purified protein and as such lack the conformational changes that are created when the protein interacts with small molecules.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:31" href="#fn:31">31</a>
Computational solvent mapping utilizes probes (small organic molecules) that are computationally 'moved' over the surface of the protein searching for sites where they tend to cluster. Multiple different probes are generally applied with the goal being to obtain a large number of different protein-probe conformations. The generated clusters are then ranked based on the cluster's average free energy. After computationally mapping multiple probes, the site of the protein where relatively large numbers of clusters form typically corresponds to an active site on the protein.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:32" href="#fn:32">32</a>
This technique is a computational adaptation of 'wet lab' work from 1996. It was discovered that ascertaining the structure of a protein while it is suspended in different solvents and then superimposing those structures on one another produces data where the organic solvent molecules (that the proteins were suspended in) typically cluster at the protein's active site. This work was carried out as a response to realizing that water molecules are visible in the electron density maps produced by <a href="/facts/X-ray_crystallography/WtI0F5DN">X-ray crystallography</a>. The water molecules are interacting with the protein and tend to cluster at the protein's polar regions. This led to the idea of immersing the purified protein crystal in other solvents (e.g. <a href="/facts/Ethanol/3lCLfBSP">ethanol</a>, <a href="/facts/Isopropyl_alcohol/7KqgIkUd">isopropanol</a>, etc.) to determine where these molecules cluster on the protein. The solvents can be chosen based on what they approximate, that is, what molecule this protein may interact with (e.g. <a href="/facts/Ethanol/3lCLfBSP">ethanol</a> can probe for interactions with the <a href="/facts/Amino_acid/WDxYwBny">amino acid</a> <a href="/facts/Serine/4duVl30B">serine</a>, <a href="/facts/Isopropanol/7KqgIkUd">isopropanol</a> a probe for <a href="/facts/Threonine/7zffFQ6W">threonine</a>, etc.). It is vital that the protein crystal maintains its <a href="/facts/Tertiary_structure_protein/1QJVj1V1">tertiary structure</a> in each solvent. This process is repeated for multiple solvents and then this data can be used to try to determine potential active sites on the protein.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:33" href="#fn:33">33</a> Ten years later this technique was developed into an algorithm by Clodfelter et al.

<h2 id="genome-context-based-methods">Genome context-based methods</h2>
Many of the newer methods for protein function prediction are not based on comparison of sequence or structure as above, but on some type of correlation between novel genes/proteins and those that already have annotations. Several methods have been developed to predict gene function on the local genomic or <a href="/facts/Phylogenomics/MsclFvpS">phylogenomic</a> context and structure of genes:
<a href="/facts/Phylogenetic_profiling/nSrfNKP3">Phylogenetic profiling</a> is based on the observation that two or more proteins with the same pattern of presence or absence in many different genomes most likely have a functional link.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:34" href="#fn:34">34</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:35" href="#fn:35">35</a> Whereas homology-based methods can often be used to identify molecular functions of a protein, context-based approaches can be used to predict cellular function, or the biological process in which a protein acts.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:36" href="#fn:36">36</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:37" href="#fn:37">37</a> For example, proteins involved in the same metabolic pathway are likely to be present in a genome together or are absent altogether, suggesting that these genes work together in a functional context.

<a href="/facts/Operon/0m7pJKWn">Operons</a> are clusters of genes that are transcribed together. Based on co-transcription data but also based on the fact that the order of genes in operons is often conserved across many bacteria, indicates that they act together.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:38" href="#fn:38">38</a>
<a href="/facts/Gene_fusion/AyR9DgQ8">Gene fusion</a> occurs when two or more genes encode two or more proteins in one organism and have, through evolution, combined to become a single gene in another organism (or vice versa for gene fission).<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:39" href="#fn:39">39</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:40" href="#fn:40">40</a> This concept has been used, for example, to search all <a href="/facts/E._coli/nR4Gvl56">E. coli</a> protein sequences for homology in other genomes and find over 6000 pairs of sequences with shared homology to single proteins in another genome, indicating potential interaction between each of the pairs.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:41" href="#fn:41">41</a> Because the two sequences in each protein pair are non-homologous, these interactions could not be predicted using homology-based methods.

<h2 id="gene-expression-and-location-based-methods">Gene expression and location-based methods</h2>
In <a href="/facts/Prokaryote/oYyvaDDH">prokaryotes</a>, clusters of genes that are physically close together in the genome often conserve together through evolution, and tend to encode proteins that interact or are part of the same <a href="/facts/Operon/0m7pJKWn">operon</a>.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:42" href="#fn:42">42</a> Thus, chromosomal proximity also called the gene neighbour method<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:43" href="#fn:43">43</a> can be used to predict functional similarity between proteins, at least in prokaryotes. Chromosomal proximity has also been seen to apply for some pathways in selected <a href="/facts/Eukaryotic/SkwyPLMA">eukaryotic</a> genomes, including Homo sapiens,<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:44" href="#fn:44">44</a> and with further development gene neighbor methods may be valuable for studying protein interactions in eukaryotes.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:45" href="#fn:45">45</a>
Genes involved in similar functions are also often co-transcribed, so that an unannotated protein can often be predicted to have a related function to proteins with which it co-expresses.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:46" href="#fn:46">46</a> The guilt by association <a href="/facts/Algorithm/fnl5NmRt">algorithms</a> developed based on this approach can be used to analyze large amounts of sequence data and identify genes with expression patterns similar to those of known genes.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:47" href="#fn:47">47</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:48" href="#fn:48">48</a> Often, a guilt by association study compares a group of <a href="/facts/Candidate_gene/vvv4CxdG">candidate genes</a> (unknown function) to a target group (for example, a group of genes known to be associated with a particular disease), and rank the candidate genes by their likelihood of belonging to the target group based on the data.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:49" href="#fn:49">49</a> Based on recent studies, however, it has been suggested that some problems exist with this type of analysis. For example, because many proteins are multifunctional, the genes encoding them may belong to several target groups. It is argued that such genes are more likely to be identified in guilt by association studies, and thus predictions are not specific.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:50" href="#fn:50">50</a>
With the accumulation of RNA-seq data that are capable of estimating expression profiles for alternatively spliced isoforms, machine learning algorithms have also been developed for predicting and differentiating functions at the isoform level.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:51" href="#fn:51">51</a> This represents an emerging research area in function prediction, which integrates large-scale, heterogeneous genomic data to infer functions at the isoform level.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:52" href="#fn:52">52</a>

<h2 id="network-based-methods">Network-based methods</h2>
Guilt by association type algorithms may be used to produce a functional association network for a given target group of genes or proteins.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:53" href="#fn:53">53</a> These networks serve as a representation of the evidence for shared/similar function within a group of genes, where <a href="/facts/Vertex_(graph_theory)/WhlWmL3o">nodes</a> represent genes/proteins and are linked to each other by edges representing evidence of shared function.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:54" href="#fn:54">54</a>
<h3>Integrated networks</h3>
Several networks based on different data sources can be combined into a composite network, which can then be used by a prediction algorithm to annotate candidate genes or proteins.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:55" href="#fn:55">55</a> For example, the developers of the bioPIXIE system used a wide variety of Saccharomyces cerevisiae (yeast) genomic data to produce a composite functional network for that species.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:56" href="#fn:56">56</a> This resource allows the visualization of known networks representing biological processes, as well as the prediction of novel components of those networks. Many algorithms have been developed to predict function based on the integration of several data sources (e.g. genomic, proteomic, protein interaction, etc.), and testing on previously annotated genes indicates a high level of accuracy.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:57" href="#fn:57">57</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:58" href="#fn:58">58</a> Disadvantages of some function prediction algorithms have included a lack of accessibility, and the time required for analysis. Faster, more accurate algorithms such as GeneMANIA (multiple association network integration algorithm) have however been developed in recent years<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:59" href="#fn:59">59</a> and are publicly available on the web, indicating the future direction of function prediction.
