Sequence correlations shape protein promiscuity.
We predict analytically that diagonal correlations of amino acid positions within protein sequences statistically enhance protein propensity for nonspecific binding. We use the term "promiscuity" to describe such nonspecific binding. Diagonal correlations represent statistically significant repeats of sequence patterns where amino acids of the same type are clustered together. The predicted eff...
متن کاملMulti-scale sequence correlations increase proteome structural disorder and promiscuity.
Numerous experiments demonstrate a high level of promiscuity and structural disorder in organismal proteomes. Here, we ask the question what makes a protein promiscuous, that is, prone to nonspecific interactions, and structurally disordered. We predict that multi-scale correlations of amino acid positions within protein sequences statistically enhance the propensity for promiscuous intra- and ...
متن کاملProtein sequence randomness and sequence/structure correlations.
We investigated protein sequence/structure correlation by constructing a space of protein sequences, based on methods developed previously for constructing a space of protein structures. The space is constructed by using a representation of the amino acids as vectors of 10 property factors that encode almost all of their physical properties. Each sequence is represented by a distribution of ove...
متن کاملDNA sequence correlations shape nonspecific transcription factor-DNA binding affinity.
Transcription factors (TFs) are regulatory proteins that bind DNA in promoter regions of the genome and either promote or repress gene expression. Here, we predict analytically that enhanced homooligonucleotide sequence correlations, such as poly(dA:dT) and poly(dC:dG) tracts, statistically enhance nonspecific TF-DNA binding affinity. This prediction is generic and qualitatively independent of ...
متن کاملMeasurements of protein sequence-structure correlations.
Correlations between protein structures and amino acid sequences are widely used for protein structure prediction. For example, secondary structure predictors generally use correlations between a secondary structure sequence and corresponding primary structure sequence, whereas threading algorithms and similar tertiary structure predictors typically incorporate interresidue contact potentials. ...
