When on board HMS Beagle, as naturalist, I was much struck with certain facts in the distribution of the inhabitants of South America, and in the geological relations of the present to the past inhabitants of that continent. These facts seemed to me to throw some light on the origin of species - that mystery of mysteries, as it has been called by one of our greatest philosophers .

THE GRAVITY OF THE ANNOTATION PROCESS

Not just Newtonian826th Feb 2014

“Ultimately, one wishes to determine how genes—and the proteins they

encode—function in the intact organism.”

Albert B, et al. (2002) Molecular biology of cell. New York: Garland Science.

Function? What is it?

• To a cell biologist function might refer to the network of interactions in which the protein participates or to the location to a certain cellular compartment.

• To a biochemist, function refers to the metabolic process in which a protein is involved or to the reaction catalyzed by an enzyme.

Functional Annotation

Functional annotation consists of attaching biological information to genomic elements.• Biochemical function• Biological function• Involved regulation and interactions• Expression

What needs to be annotated?

• Proteins – – Domain/Motifs– Signaling Peptide– Transmembrane region

• Coding and non-coding RNAs• Operons

26th Feb 2014

Page 13: Functional Annotation & Comparative Genomics

Domain/Motif • Domain:

A discrete structural unit that is assumed to fold independently of the rest of the protein and to have its own function.~20-100 aa

• Motif:Are short, conserved regions and frequently are the most conserved regions of domains. Motifs are critical for the domain to function.

Page 15: Functional Annotation & Comparative Genomics

How Gene Performs Function? Operon • Operon: Several genes with related functions that are regulated

together, because one piece of mRNA codes for several related proteins.

• Polycistronic mRNA, mRNA coding for more than one polypeptide, is found only in prokaryotes

APPROACHES TO FUNCTIONAL ANNOTATION

An overview1626th Feb 2014

Page 17: Functional Annotation & Comparative Genomics

17

Approaches to functional annotation

• Ab initioBased on intrinsic characteristics of gene/protein features– Signaling peptides (SignalP, LipoP)– Transmembrane domains (TMHMM)

• Homology BasedInformation transfer from experimentally characterized system– BLAST– InterPro

26th Feb 2014

Page 18: Functional Annotation & Comparative Genomics

18

Ab initio approaches

• Fairly standard – TM and Signaling peptides have a distinct pattern of sequence composition

• TM proteins are membrane bound receptors and channels that are of particular pharmacological relevance (therapeutic or vaccine target)

• Signal peptides direct proteins to their proper cellular or extracellular location

26th Feb 2014

Page 19: Functional Annotation & Comparative Genomics

19

Homology based approaches

• Significant sequence similarity implies homology or shared ancestry that often leads to shared function

• Assumption – – Genes/proteins evolved to perform some function will retain

that function– Deleterious mutations will be weeded out by purifying

selection– Evolution is mostly dominated by divergence– Homology will thus entail a high chance of shared origin and

function

Homology based approaches• Databases:

– NCBI• GenBank• RefSeq

– EBI• SwissProt• UniProt

– DDBJ• KEGG

• Tools– BLAST– InterProScan– GO-based

Criteria for selecting methods

1. Currently being maintained2. Applicable to Prokaryotic sequences3. Could be installed locally (support batch jobs

if GUI)OR

Could be included in a pipeline i.e., have a command-line interface

Gene naming• You need to have a clear logic and support for assigning names

to the predicted proteins

• A generally accepted scheme is as follows:– High confidence matches – function and annotation can be transferred– Multiple high confidence matches – assign a less specific name e.g.

ABC transporter– Low confidence matches – assign function as putative– Match to a hypothetical protein – conserved hypothetical protein– No match in the database – hypothetical protein

• How high is high? Depends on your data.

Automated PipelinesTakes in whole genome assembly and spits out annotations. E.g.:

• PGAAP – Prokaryotic Genome Automatic Annotation Pipeline

• CG-Pipeline – Computational Genomics Pipeline

• RAST – Rapid Annotation using subsystem technology

• KEGG – Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes

• And more comes out each year with specific focus and capability

“Perutz et al. showed in 1960 that myoglobin and hemoglobin, the first two protein structures to be solved at atomic resolution using X-ray crystallography, have similar structures even though their sequences differ.”

Pros and Cons: There are no free lunches!

• Homology Useful but different from “same” function– Simply implies common ancestry

Page 37: Functional Annotation & Comparative Genomics

Pros and Cons: There are no free lunches!

• Again: Quality of prediction is as good as the quality of annotation of the database

• Eukaryotic function predictor can not be used for Prokaryotes and vice versa

• Building pan-genomes is a good strategy for finding more confident matches

Comparative Genomics

• In a nutshell – it’s comparing similarities and differences in genomes (proteins/genes/SNPs) of multiple organisms from same or different species.

• Helps in answering – – Present: lifestyle - virulent vs avirulent; horizontally

acquired segments– Past: Evolution

26th Feb 2014

Page 41: Functional Annotation & Comparative Genomics

41

Comparative Genomics

• Biological questions of general interest:– Are there are rearrangements?– Is the region(s) of interest syntenic across species?– Are their gene gain/loss event leading to specific

trait?– What organisms are more similar? What are most

distant?– What factors confer virulence to the genome?– In our case: capsule switching? What, why and how?

Comparative Genomics

• You are going to hear more about your specific goals next week

• Remember: The focus here is not about the tools but (1) identification of the biological question, (2) your approach to answering the question and (3) your results with interpretation

26th Feb 2014

Page 46: Functional Annotation & Comparative Genomics

46

Databases• As before – there are number of sequence databases available

– You need to decide what subset of that database should you taking into consideration

– For e.g.: what organism/serogroup/sequence type should your database be focused on?

• If we are also looking for virulence factors - VFDB

• If we are interested in pathways – KEGG, Pathway Tools

Analysis Tools

• Homology Based – BLAST, Protein Clusters, Pathway Analysis

• Phylogenetics – MEGA, T-Coffee• Virulence - VFDB• Horizontal/Lateral Gene Transfer – Dark Horse,

Phylogenetic Analysis• There are a number of ways you can compare

organisms/genomes:– 16S rRNA tree– MLST based methods– ANI based methods

• All three can be visualized as a tree to assess the relatedness between the organisms

• ANI has been shown to correlate well with DDH by Konstantinidis et al

Different phenotype, same evolutionary lineages

• Phenotypic concordance need not support same ancestral lineage

• At times it has been observed that species tend to gain certain set of mutations in same or different gene(s) which leads to the same phenotype

• Acquiring antibiotic resistance is one such example

• The investigation of such cases depends on a case-by-case manner with underlying reasons varying from SNPs, gene gain/loss, indels, plasmid uptake etc

various purposes• E.g.:
