A multi-expert system for the automatic detection of protein domains from sequence information
Pages 224 - 234
Abstract
We describe a novel method for detecting the domain structure of a protein from sequence information alone. The method is based on analyzing multiple sequence alignments that are derived from a database search. Multiple measures are defined to quantify the domain information content of each position along the sequence, and are combined into a single predictor using a neural network. The output is further smoothed and post-processed using a probabilistic model to predict the most likely transition or boundary positions between domains. The method was assessed using the domain definitions in SCOP for proteins of known structures and was compared to several other existing methods. Our method improves significantly over the best method available, the semi-manual PFam domain database, while being fully automatic. Our method can also be used to verify domain partitions based on structural data. Few examples of predicted domain definitions and alternative partitions, as suggested by our method, are also discussed.
