Local Disordered Region Sampling (LDRS) for Ensemble Modeling of Proteins with Experimentally Undetermined or Low Confidence Prediction Segments

Open access

Preprint — published as 10.1093/bioinformatics/btad739

Abstract

STRUCTURED ABSTRACT: SUMMARY: The Local Disordered Region Sampling (LDRS, pronounced loaders ) tool, developed for the IDPConformerGenerator platform (Teixeira et al . 2022), provides a method for generating all-atom conformations of intrinsically disordered regions (IDRs) at N- and C-termini of and in loops or linkers between folded regions of an existing protein structure. These disordered elements often lead to missing coordinates in experimental structures or low confidence in predicted structures. Requiring only a pre-existing PDB structure of the protein with missing coordinates or with predicted confidence scores and its full-length primary sequence, LDRS will automatically generate physically meaningful conformational ensembles of the missing flexible regions to complete the full-length protein. The capabilities of the LDRS tool of IDPConformerGenerator include modeling phosphorylation sites using enhanced Monte Carlo Side Chain Entropy (MC-SCE) (Bhowmick and Head-Gordon 2015), transmembrane proteins within an all-atom bilayer, and multi-chain complexes. The modeling capacity of LDRS capitalizes on the modularity, ability to be used as a library and via command-line, and computational speed of the IDPConformerGenerator platform. AVAILABILITY AND IMPLEMENTATION: The LDRS module is part of the IDPConformerGenerator modeling suite, which can be downloaded from GitHub at https://github.com/julie-forman-kay-lab/IDPConformerGenerator . IDPConformerGenerator is written in Python and works on Linux, Microsoft Windows, and Mac OS versions that support DSSP. Users can utilize LDRS’s Python API for scripting the same way they can use any part of IDPConformerGenerator’s API, by importing functions from the ‘idpconfgen.ldrs_helper’ library. Otherwise, LDRS can be used as a command line interface application within IDPConformerGenerator. Full documentation is available within the command-line interface (CLI) as well as on IDPConformerGenerator’s official documentation pages ( https://idpconformergenerator.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ ). CONTACT: For support with LDRS please contact Zi Hao (Nemo) Liu via nemo.liu@sickkids.ca or submit an issue in the IDPConformerGenerator repository on GitHub ( https://github.com/julie-forman-kay-lab/IDPConformerGenerator/issues ). SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The supplementary information document contains, or links to, all the conformer ensembles generated for this publication, the generalized Python scripts using the LDRS Python API, figures of detailed methods, fractional secondary structure information, torsion angle sampling, and the time required to generate the different protein cases.

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.
