Systematic discovery of protein interaction interfaces using AlphaFold and experimental validation.
Structural resolution of protein interactions enables mechanistic and functional studies as well as interpretation of disease variants. However, structural data is still missing for most protein interactions because we lack computational and experimental tools at scale. This is particularly true for interactions mediated by short linear motifs occurring in disordered regions of proteins. We find that AlphaFold-Multimer predicts with high sensitivity but limited specificity structures of domain-motif interactions when using small protein fragments as input. Sensitivity decreased substantially when using long protein fragments or full length proteins. We delineated a protein fragmentation strategy particularly suited for the prediction of domain-motif interfaces and applied it to interactions between human proteins associated with neurodevelopmental disorders. This enabled the prediction of highly confident and likely disease-related novel interfaces, which we further experimentally corroborated for FBXO23-STX1B, STX1B-VAMP2, ESRRG-PSMC5, PEX3-PEX19, PEX3-PEX16, and SNRPB-GIGYF1 providing novel molecular insights for diverse biological processes. Our work highlights exciting perspectives, but also reveals clear limitations and the need for future developments to maximize the power of Alphafold-Multimer for interface predictions.
期刊介绍:
Systems biology is a field that aims to understand complex biological systems by studying their components and how they interact. It is an integrative discipline that seeks to explain the properties and behavior of these systems.
Molecular Systems Biology is a scholarly journal that publishes top-notch research in the areas of systems biology, synthetic biology, and systems medicine. It is an open access journal, meaning that its content is freely available to readers, and it is peer-reviewed to ensure the quality of the published work.
