Abstract

With the breakthrough of AlphaFold2, nearly all single-domain protein structures can be built at experimental resolution. However, accurate modelling of full-chain structures of multidomain proteins, particularly all relevant conformations for those with multiple states remain challenging. In this study, we develop a multidomain protein assembly method, M-SADA, for assembling multiple conformational states. In M-SADA, a multiple population-based evolutionary algorithm is proposed to sample multiple conformational states under the guidance of multiple energy functions constructed by combining homologous and analogous templates with inter-domain distances predicted by deep learning. On a developed benchmark dataset containing 72 multidomain proteins with multiple conformational states, the performance of M-SADA is significantly better than that of AlphaFold2 on multiple conformational states modelling, where 29/72 (40.3%) of proteins can be assembled with a TM-score >0.90 for highly distinct conformational states with M-SADA while AlphaFold2 does so in only 2/72 (2.8%) of proteins. Furthermore, M-SADA is tested on a developed benchmark dataset containing 296 multidomain proteins with single conformational state, and results show that the average TM-score of M-SADA on the best models is 0.913, which is 5.2% higher than that of AlphaFold2 models (0.868).

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.
