Abstract

The availability of new AI-based protein structure prediction tools radically changed the way cryo-EM maps are interpreted, but it has not eliminated the challenges of map interpretation faced by a microscopist. Models will continue to be locally rebuilt and refined using interactive tools. This inevitably results in occasional errors, among which register-shifts remain one of the most difficult to identify and correct. Here we introduce checkMySequence ; a fast, fully automated and parameter-free method for detecting register-shifts in protein models built into cryo-EM maps. We show that the method can assist model building in cases where poorer map resolution hinders visual interpretation. We also show that checkMySequence could have helped avoid a widely discussed sequence register error in a model of SARS-CoV-2 RNA-dependent RNA polymerase that was originally detected thanks to a visual residue-by-residue inspection by members of the structural biology community. Synopsis: We present a new method, checkMySequence , for fast and automated detection of register errors in protein models built into cryo-EM reconstructions.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
