DrugScorePPI Knowledge-Based Potentials Used as Scoring and Objective Function in Protein-Protein Docking

چکیده
The distance-dependent knowledge-based DrugScore(PPI) potentials, previously developed for in silico alanine scanning and hot spot prediction on given structures of protein-protein complexes, are evaluated as a scoring and objective function for the structure prediction of protein-protein complexes. When applied for ranking "unbound perturbation" ("unbound docking") decoys generated by Baker and coworkers a 4-fold (1.5-fold) enrichment of acceptable docking solutions in the top ranks compared to a random selection is found. When applied as an objective function in FRODOCK for bound protein-protein docking on 97 complexes of the ZDOCK benchmark 3.0, DrugScore(PPI)/FRODOCK finds up to 10% (15%) more high accuracy solutions in the top 1 (top 10) predictions than the original FRODOCK implementation. When used as an objective function for global unbound protein-protein docking, fair docking success rates are obtained, which improve by ∼ 2-fold to 18% (58%) for an at least acceptable solution in the top 10 (top 100) predictions when performing knowledge-driven unbound docking. This suggests that DrugScore(PPI) balances well several different types of interactions important for protein-protein recognition. The results are discussed in view of the influence of crystal packing and the type of protein-protein complex docked. Finally, a simple criterion is provided with which to estimate a priori if unbound docking with DrugScore(PPI)/FRODOCK will be successful.

متن کاملStructural Prediction of Protein-RNA Interaction by Computational Docking with Propensity-Based Statistical Potentials
Despite the importance of protein-RNA interactions in the cellular context, the number of available protein-RNA complex structures is still much lower than those of other biomolecules. As a consequence, few computational studies have been addressed towards protein-RNA complexes, and to our knowledge, no systematic benchmarking of protein-RNA docking has been reported. In this study we have extr...
