Abstract
PomBase (https://www.pombase.org), the model organism database (MOD) for fission yeast, was recently awarded Global Core Biodata Resource (GCBR) status by the Global Biodata Coalition (GBC; https://globalbiodata.org/) after a rigorous selection process. In this MOD review, we present PomBase's continuing growth and improvement over the last 2 years. We describe these improvements in the context of the qualitative GCBR indicators related to scientific quality, comprehensivity, accelerating science, user stories, and collaborations with other biodata resources. This review also showcases the depth of existing connections both within the biocuration ecosystem and between PomBase and its user community.

Abstract
Recent advances in AI-based methods have revolutionized the field of structural biology. Concomitantly, high-throughput sequencing and functional genomics technologies have enabled the detection and generation of variants at an unprecedented scale. However, efficient tools and resources are needed to link these two disparate data types - to "map" variants onto protein structures, to better understand how the variation causes disease and thereby design therapeutics. Here we present the Genomics 2 Proteins Portal (G2P; g2p.broadinstitute.org/): a human proteome-wide resource that maps 19,996,443 genetic variants onto 42,413 protein sequences and 77,923 structures, with a comprehensive set of structural and functional features. Additionally, the G2P portal generalizes the capability of linking genomics to proteins beyond databases by allowing users to interactively upload protein residue-wise annotations (variants, scores, etc.) as well as the protein structure to establish the connection. The portal serves as an easy-to-use discovery tool for researchers and scientists to hypothesize the structure-function relationship between natural or synthetic variations and their molecular phenotype.

FRONTIERS IN BIOINFORMATICS 2023; 3:1311287. [PMID: 38111685 PMCID: PMC10726007 DOI: 10.3389/fbinf.2023.1311287] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/09/2023] [Accepted: 11/17/2023] [Indexed: 12/20/2023] Open
Abstract
Recent advances in Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning (e.g., AlphaFold, RosettaFold, and ESMFold) enable prediction of three-dimensional (3D) protein structures from amino acid sequences alone at accuracies comparable to lower-resolution experimental methods. These tools have been employed to predict structures across entire proteomes and the results of large-scale metagenomic sequence studies, yielding an exponential increase in available biomolecular 3D structural information. Given the enormous volume of this newly computed biostructure data, there is an urgent need for robust tools to manage, search, cluster, and visualize large collections of structures. Equally important is the capability to efficiently summarize and visualize metadata, biological/biochemical annotations, and structural features, particularly when working with vast numbers of protein structures of both experimental origin from the Protein Data Bank (PDB) and computationally-predicted models. Moreover, researchers require advanced visualization techniques that support interactive exploration of multiple sequences and structural alignments. This paper introduces a suite of tools provided on the RCSB PDB research-focused web portal RCSB. org, tailor-made for efficient management, search, organization, and visualization of this burgeoning corpus of 3D macromolecular structure data.

[PMID: 37836636 PMCID: PMC10574437 DOI: 10.3390/molecules28196793] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/25/2023] [Revised: 09/15/2023] [Accepted: 09/19/2023] [Indexed: 10/15/2023] Open
Abstract
Interactions between proteins and ions are essential for various biological functions like structural stability, metabolism, and signal transport. Given that more than half of all proteins bind to ions, it is becoming crucial to identify ion-binding sites. The accurate identification of protein-ion binding sites helps us to understand proteins' biological functions and plays a significant role in drug discovery. While several computational approaches have been proposed, this remains a challenging problem due to the small size and high versatility of metals and acid radicals. In this study, we propose IonPred, a sequence-based approach that employs ELECTRA (Efficiently Learning an Encoder that Classifies Token Replacements Accurately) to predict ion-binding sites using only raw protein sequences. We successfully fine-tuned our pretrained model to predict the binding sites for nine metal ions (Zn2+, Cu2+, Fe2+, Fe3+, Ca2+, Mg2+, Mn2+, Na+, and K+) and four acid radical ion ligands (CO32-, SO42-, PO43-, NO2-). IonPred surpassed six current state-of-the-art tools by over 44.65% and 28.46%, respectively, in the F1 score and MCC when compared on an independent test dataset. Our method is more computationally efficient than existing tools, producing prediction results for a hundred sequences for a specific ion in under ten minutes.

Abstract
The Research Collaboratory for Structural Bioinformatics Protein Data Bank (RCSB PDB) provides open access to experimentally-determined three-dimensional (3D) structures of biomolecules. The RCSB PDB RCSB.org research-focused web portal is used annually by many millions of users around the world. They access biostructure information, run complex queries utilizing various search services (e.g., full-text, structural and chemical attribute, chemical, sequence, and structure similarity searches), and visualize macromolecules in 3D, all at no charge and with no limitations on data usage. Notwithstanding more than 24,000-fold growth of the PDB over the past five decades, experimentally-determined structures are only available for a small subset of the millions of proteins of known sequence. Recently developed machine learning software tools can predict 3D structures of proteins at accuracies comparable to lower-resolution experimental methods. The RCSB PDB now provides access to ∼1,000,000 Computed Structure Models (CSMs) of proteins coming from AlphaFold DB and the ModelArchive alongside ∼200,000 experimentally-determined PDB structures. Both CSMs and PDB structures are available on RCSB.org and via well-established RCSB PDB Data, Search, and 1D-Coordinates application programming interfaces (APIs). Simultaneous delivery of PDB data and CSMs provides users with access to complementary structural information across the human proteome and those of model organisms and selected pathogens. API enhancements are backwards-compatible and programmatic users can "opt in" to access CSMs with minimal effort. Herein, we describe modifications to RCSB PDB cyberinfrastructure required to support sixfold scaling of 3D biostructure data delivery and lay the groundwork for scaling to accommodate hundreds of millions of CSMs.

Uncovering the pharmacological mechanisms of Zizhu ointment against diabetic ulcer by integrating network analysis and experimental evaluation in vivo and in vitro. Front Pharmacol 2022; 13:1027677. [PMID: 36582537 PMCID: PMC9793990 DOI: 10.3389/fphar.2022.1027677] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/25/2022] [Accepted: 11/25/2022] [Indexed: 12/15/2022] Open
Abstract
Diabetic ulcer (DU) has been recognized as one of the most prevalent and serious complications of diabetes. However, the clinical efficacy of standard treatments for DU remains poor. Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) shows a positive therapeutic effect on DU. Specifically, Zizhu ointment (ZZO) has been widely used to treat DU in long-term clinical practice, but the exact mechanism by which it promotes DU wound healing remains unknown. In this study, network analysis and high-performance liquid chromatography-high resolution mass spectrometry (UPLC-HRMS) were conducted to identify the active compounds of ZZO. We detected isovalerylshikonin (ISO), mandenol, daidzein, kaempferol, and formononetin in both network analysis and UPLC-HRMS. Moreover, ZZO could ameliorate DU by regulating the phosphatidylinositol-3-kinase (PI3K)/protein kinase B (AKT) and inflammation signaling pathways, according to the results of KEGG analysis. We established a DU mouse model with a high-fat diet and streptozotocin injection in vivo to evaluate the network analysis result. The experimental results showed that ZZO could inhibit inflammation, remodel fibrous tissue, and promote angiogenesis in the DU area, facilitating wound healing in DU mice. Moreover, the PI3K/AKT signaling pathway was indeed activated by ZZO treatment, promoting macrophage M2 polarization. In addition, we used molecular docking technology to evaluate the binding sites between ZZO and the PI3K/AKT pathway. The results showed that ISO has a good binding interaction with AKT. Moreover, ISO promoted M2 polarization in macrophages in a dose-dependent manner in vitro. Our study found that ZZO could promote DU wound healing by inhibiting inflammation, which was achieved by macrophage M2 polarization through activating the PI3K/AKT pathway. Further studies have demonstrated that ISO plays major role in the above process. These findings provide a theoretical basis for further preclinical evaluation and lay a foundation for nano-gel compound treatment with ZZO.

Abstract
Now in its 52nd year of continuous operations, the Protein Data Bank (PDB) is the premiere open-access global archive housing three-dimensional (3D) biomolecular structure data. It is jointly managed by the Worldwide Protein Data Bank (wwPDB) partnership. The Research Collaboratory for Structural Bioinformatics Protein Data Bank (RCSB PDB) is funded by the National Science Foundation, National Institutes of Health, and US Department of Energy and serves as the US data center for the wwPDB. RCSB PDB is also responsible for the security of PDB data in its role as wwPDB-designated Archive Keeper. Every year, RCSB PDB serves tens of thousands of depositors of 3D macromolecular structure data (coming from macromolecular crystallography, nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, electron microscopy, and micro-electron diffraction). The RCSB PDB research-focused web portal (RCSB.org) makes PDB data available at no charge and without usage restrictions to many millions of PDB data consumers around the world. The RCSB PDB training, outreach, and education web portal (PDB101.RCSB.org) serves nearly 700 K educators, students, and members of the public worldwide. This invited Tools Issue contribution describes how RCSB PDB (i) is organized; (ii) works with wwPDB partners to process new depositions; (iii) serves as the wwPDB-designated Archive Keeper; (iv) enables exploration and 3D visualization of PDB data via RCSB.org; and (v) supports training, outreach, and education via PDB101.RCSB.org. New tools and features at RCSB.org are presented using examples drawn from high-resolution structural studies of proteins relevant to treatment of human cancers by targeting immune checkpoints.

Shao C, Bittrich S, Wang S, Burley SK. Assessing PDB macromolecular crystal structure confidence at the individual amino acid residue level. Structure 2022; 30:1385-1394.e3. [PMID: 36049478 PMCID: PMC9547844 DOI: 10.1016/j.str.2022.08.004] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/16/2022] [Revised: 06/24/2022] [Accepted: 08/05/2022] [Indexed: 11/22/2022]
Abstract
Approximately 87% of the more than 190,000 atomic-level three-dimensional (3D) biostructures in the PDB were determined using macromolecular crystallography (MX). Agreement between 3D atomic coordinates and experimental data for >100 million individual amino acid residues occurring within ∼150,000 PDB MX structures was analyzed in detail. The real-space correlation coefficient (RSCC) calculated using the 3D atomic coordinates for each residue and experimental-data-derived electron density enables outlier detection of unreliable atomic coordinates (particularly important for poorly resolved side-chain atoms) and ready evaluation of local structure quality by PDB users. For human protein MX structures in PDB, comparisons of the per-residue RSCC metric with AlphaFold2-computed structure model confidence (pLDDT-predicted local distance difference test) document (1) that RSCC values and pLDDT scores are correlated (median correlation coefficient ∼0.41), and (2) that experimentally determined MX structures (3.5 Å resolution or better) are more reliable than AlphaFold2-computed structure models and should be used preferentially whenever possible.

[PMID: 35580056 PMCID: PMC9252838 DOI: 10.1093/nar/gkac370] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/25/2022] [Revised: 04/19/2022] [Accepted: 04/29/2022] [Indexed: 11/27/2022] Open
Abstract
Understanding the functions and origins of proteins requires splitting these macromolecules into fragments that could be independent in terms of folding, activity, or evolution. For that purpose, structural domains are the typical level of analysis, but shorter segments, such as subdomains and supersecondary structures, are insightful as well. Here, we propose SWORD2, a web server for exploring how an input protein structure may be decomposed into ‘Protein Units’ that can be hierarchically assembled to delimit structural domains. For each partitioning solution, the relevance of the identified substructures is estimated through different measures. This multilevel analysis is achieved by integrating our previous work on domain delineation, ‘protein peeling’ and model quality assessment. We hope that SWORD2 will be useful to biologists searching for key regions in their proteins of interest and to bioinformaticians building datasets of protein structures. The web server is freely available online: https://www.dsimb.inserm.fr/SWORD2.

Structure-based virtual screening and biological evaluation of novel inhibitors of mycobacterium Z-ring formation. J Cell Biochem 2022; 123:852-862.

Abstract
The major part of commercial prodrugs against Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) demonstrated a significant inhibitory effect on cell division and inhibition of bacterial growth in vitro. However, further implementation often failed to overcome the compensatory system of interchangeable cascades. This is the most common situation for the compounds, which hit the key enzymes activities involved in all basic stages of the cell cycle. We decided to find more compounds, which could affect a cytoskeleton complex playing important role in sensing the external signals, intracellular transport, and cell division. In general, the bacterial cytoskeleton is crucial for response to the environment and participates in cell-to-cell communication. In turn, filamentous temperature-sensitive Z (FtsZ) protein, a mycobacterial tubulin homolog, is essential for Z-ring formation and further bacteria cell division. We predicted the most preferable binding-sites and conducted a high-throughput virtual screening. Modeling results suggest that some compounds bind in a specific region on the surface Mtb FtsZ, which is absent in human, and other could hit GTPase activity of the FtsZ. Further in vitro studies confirmed that these novel molecules can efficiently bind to these pockets, demonstrating an effect on the polymerization state and kinetics mechanisms. The rescaling of the experiment on the cell line revealed that reported compounds are able to alter the polymerization level of the filamentous and, therefore, prevent mycobacteria reproduction.

Abstract
MOTIVATION Membrane proteins are encoded by approximately one fifth of human genes but account for more than half of all US FDA approved drug targets. Thanks to new technological advances, the number of membrane proteins archived in the PDB is growing rapidly. However, automatic identification of membrane proteins or inference of membrane location is not a trivial task. RESULTS We present recent improvements to the RCSB Protein Data Bank web portal (RCSB PDB, rcsb.org) that provide a wealth of new membrane protein annotations integrated from four external resources: OPM, PDBTM, MemProtMD and mpstruc. We have substantially enhanced the presentation of data on membrane proteins. The number of membrane proteins with annotations available on rcsb.org was increased by ∼80%. Users can search for these annotations, explore corresponding tree hierarchies, display membrane segments at the 1D amino acid sequence level, and visualize the predicted location of the membrane layer in 3D. AVAILABILITY AND IMPLEMENTATION Annotations, search, tree data and visualization are available at our rcsb.org web portal. Membrane visualization is supported by the open-source Mol* viewer (molstar.org and github.com/molstar/molstar). SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION Supplementary data are available at Bioinformatics online.

Abstract
The Research Collaboratory for Structural Bioinformatics Protein Data Bank (RCSB PDB), funded by the US National Science Foundation, National Institutes of Health, and Department of Energy, has served structural biologists and Protein Data Bank (PDB) data consumers worldwide since 1999. RCSB PDB, a founding member of the Worldwide Protein Data Bank (wwPDB) partnership, is the US data center for the global PDB archive housing biomolecular structure data. RCSB PDB is also responsible for the security of PDB data, as the wwPDB-designated Archive Keeper. Annually, RCSB PDB serves tens of thousands of three-dimensional (3D) macromolecular structure data depositors (using macromolecular crystallography, nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, electron microscopy, and micro-electron diffraction) from all inhabited continents. RCSB PDB makes PDB data available from its research-focused RCSB.org web portal at no charge and without usage restrictions to millions of PDB data consumers working in every nation and territory worldwide. In addition, RCSB PDB operates an outreach and education PDB101.RCSB.org web portal that was used by more than 800,000 educators, students, and members of the public during calendar year 2020. This invited Tools Issue contribution describes (i) how the archive is growing and evolving as new experimental methods generate ever larger and more complex biomolecular structures; (ii) the importance of data standards and data remediation in effective management of the archive and facile integration with more than 50 external data resources; and (iii) new tools and features for 3D structure analysis and visualization made available during the past year via the RCSB.org web portal.

Abstract
AlphaFold 2 (AF2) was the star of CASP14, the last biannual structure prediction experiment. Using novel deep learning, AF2 predicted the structures of many difficult protein targets at or near experimental resolution. Here, we present our perspective of why AF2 works and show that it is a very sophisticated fold recognition algorithm that exploits the completeness of the library of single domain PDB structures. It has also learned local side chain packing rearrangements that enable it to refine proteins to high resolution. The benefits and limitations of its ability to predict the structures of many more proteins at or close to atomic detail are discussed.
