Protein Model Quality Assessment

AbstractMotivationProtein model quality assessment is a key component of protein structure prediction. In recent research, the voxelization feature was used to characterize the local structural information of residues, but it may be insufficient for describing residue-level topological information. Design features that can further reflect residue-level topology when combined with deep learning methods are therefore crucial to improve the performance of model quality assessment.ResultsWe developed a deep-learning method, DeepUMQA, based on Ultrafast Shape Recognition (USR) for the residue-level single-model quality assessment. In the framework of the deep residual neural network, the residue-level USR feature was introduced to describe the topological relationship between the residue and overall structure by calculating the first moment of a set of residue distance sets and then combined with 1D, 2D, and voxelization features to assess the quality of the model. Experimental results on test datasets of CASP13, CASP14, and CAMEO show that USR could complement the voxelization feature to comprehensively characterize residue structure information and significantly improve the model assessment accuracy. DeepUMQA outperformed the state-of-the-art single-model quality assessment methods, including ProQ2, ProQ3, ProQ3D, Ornate, VoroMQA, and DeepAccNet.AvailabilityThe source code and executable are freely available at https://github.com/iobio-zjut/[email protected]

Abstract Motivation Protein model quality assessment (QA) is a crucial and yet open problem in structural bioinformatics. The current best methods for single-model QA typically combine results from different approaches, each based on different input features constructed by experts in the field. Then, the prediction model is trained using a machine-learning algorithm. Recently, with the development of convolutional neural networks (CNN), the training paradigm has changed. In computer vision, the expert-developed features have been significantly overpassed by automatically trained convolutional filters. This motivated us to apply a three-dimensional (3D) CNN to the problem of protein model QA. Results We developed Ornate (Oriented Routed Neural network with Automatic Typing)—a novel method for single-model QA. Ornate is a residue-wise scoring function that takes as input 3D density maps. It predicts the local (residue-wise) and the global model quality through a deep 3D CNN. Specifically, Ornate aligns the input density map, corresponding to each residue and its neighborhood, with the backbone topology of this residue. This circumvents the problem of ambiguous orientations of the initial models. Also, Ornate includes automatic identification of atom types and dynamic routing of the data in the network. Established benchmarks (CASP 11 and CASP 12) demonstrate the state-of-the-art performance of our approach among single-model QA methods. Availability and implementation The method is available at https://team.inria.fr/nano-d/software/Ornate/. It consists of a C++ executable that transforms molecular structures into volumetric density maps, and a Python code based on the TensorFlow framework for applying the Ornate model to these maps. Supplementary information Supplementary data are available at Bioinformatics online.

Consensus Score

In protein tertiary structure prediction, assessing the quality of predicted models is an essential task. Over the past years, many methods have been proposed for the protein model quality assessment (QA) and selection problem. Despite significant advances, the discerning power of current methods is still unsatisfactory. In this paper, we propose two new algorithms, CC-Select and MDS-QA, based on multidimensional scaling and k-means clustering. For the model selection problem, CC-Select combines consensus with clustering techniques to select the best models from a given pool. Given a set of predicted models, CC-Select first calculates a consensus score for each structure based on its average pairwise structural similarity to other models. Then, similar structures are grouped into clusters using multidimensional scaling and clustering algorithms. In each cluster, the one with the highest consensus score is selected as a candidate model. For the QA problem, MDS-QA combines single-model scoring functions with consensus to determine more accurate assessment score for every model in a given pool. Using extensive benchmark sets of a large collection of predicted models, we compare the two algorithms with existing state-of-the-art quality assessment methods and show significant improvement.
