For this purpose, the protein's sequence is compared to the sequences of other proteins in public databases and its function is deduced from those of the most similar sequences. Detect remote homologies by comparison of hidden Markov models Who: Privacy policy About EcoliWiki Disclaimers. This is the most relevant statistical measure of significance and can be interpreted quite literally. Evolution of function in protein superfamilies, from a structural perspective. HHpred and HHsearch are among the most popular methods for protein structure prediction and the detection of remotely related sequences, each having been cited over times. It contains programs that can search for similar protein sequences in protein sequence databases.

AbrB is a protein that is broadly represented in bacterial species and is involved in switching from exponential growth to stationary phase by integrating a great number of environmental factors. Protein secondary structure prediction based on position-specific scoring matrices. A global search might be appropriate when one expects the database entries to be at least marginally similar over their full length with the query sequence.
The E -value for a sequence match is the expected number of false positives per database search with a score at least as good as the score of this sequence match.
The HHpred interactive server for protein homology detection and structure prediction
Searching databases of conserved sequence regions by aligning protein multiple-alignments. Symbols indicating the quality of the column—column match: The 3D model may then help to generate hypotheses to guide experiments. In this case, more sensitive methods are required to identify more remotely related proteins or protein families.
HHpred and HHsearch represent query and database proteins by profile hidden Markov models HMMsan extension of PSSM sequence profiles that also records position-specific amino acid insertion and deletion frequencies. From this alignment, a profile HMM is calculated. By using this site, you agree to the Terms of Use and Privacy Policy.
This increases the sensitivity for homologous proteins considerably In most cases it will be advisable to run a search in both modes to gain confidence in one's results. Often, no sequences with annotated functions can be found in such a search.
The output of HHpred and HHsearch is a ranked list hhlred database matches including E-values and probabilities for a true relationship and the pairwise query-database sequence alignments.

HHpred and HHsearch represent query and database proteins by profile hidden Markov models HMMsan extension of sequence profiles which also record position-specific amino acid insertion and deletion frequencies.
Hhrped profiles contain much more information than a single sequence e. The profiles are derived from multiple sequence hhprrd MSAsin which related proteins are written together alignedsuch that the frequencies of amino acids in each position can be interpreted as probabilities for amino acids in new related proteins, and be used to derive the "similarity scores". The output of HHpred and HHsearch is a ranked list of database matches including E-values and probabilities for a true relationship and the pairwise query-database sequence alignments.
HHsearch performs searches with a protein sequence through databases. HHpred is among the most sensitive servers for remote homology detection. The primary aim in developing HHpred was to provide biologists with a method for sequence database searching that is as easy to use as BLAST or PSI-BLAST and yet competitive in sensitivity with the most powerful servers for structure prediction that are currently available.
Bioinformatics Toolkit
A position-specific scoring matrix PSSM profile contains for each position in the query sequence the similarity score for the 20 amino acids. Views Read View source View history. A search through the PDB database of proteins with solved 3D structure takes a few minutes.

How you can help. Open in a separate window. But it is important to note that, in contrast to the true-positive probability, HHpred E -values do not take into account the secondary structure similarity.
All in all, the alignment looks very much like what one would expect for a distant homologous relationship.
Basic local alignment search tool. National Center for Biotechnology InformationU. A profile HMM is a concise statistical description of the underlying alignment. Homology detection of outer membrane proteins: Sequence searches are frequently performed by biologists to infer the function of an unknown protein from its sequence.
