Convergent evolution
• Often with shorter motifs (e.g. active sites)• Motif (function) has evolved more than once
independently, e.g. starting with two very different sequences adopting different folds
• Sequences and associated structures remain different, but (functional) motif can become identical
• Classical example: serine proteinase and chymotrypsin
Serine proteinase (subtilisin) and chymotrypsin
• Different evolutionary origins, no sequence similarity • Similarities in the reaction mechanisms. Chymotrypsin,
subtilisin and carboxypeptidase C have a catalytic triad of serine, aspartate and histidine in common: serine acts as a nucleophile, aspartate as an electrophile, and histidine as a base.
• The geometric orientations of the catalytic residues are similar between families, despite different protein folds.
• The linear arrangements of the catalytic residues reflect different family relationships. For example the catalytic triad in the chymotrypsin clan (SA) is ordered HDS, but is ordered DHS in the subtilisin clan (SB) and SDH in the carboxypeptidase clan (SC).

What can sequence tell us about structure(HSSP)
Sander & Schneider, 1991
Searching for similaritiesWhat is the function of the new gene?
The “lazy” investigation (i.e., no biologial experiments, just bioinformatics techniques):
– Find a set of similar protein sequences to the unknown sequence
– Identify similarities and differences
– For long proteins: identify domains first
Evolutionary and functional relationships
Reconstruct evolutionary relation:
•Based on sequence-Identity (simplest method)-Similarity
•Homology (common ancestry: the ultimate goal)•Other (e.g., 3D structure)
Functional relation:Sequence Structure Function
Common ancestry is more interesting:Makes it more likely that genes sharethe same function
Homology: sharing a common ancestor– a binary property (yes/no)– it’s a nice tool:When (an unknown) gene X is homologous to (a known) gene G it means that we gain a lot of information on X: what we know about G can be transferred to X as a good suggestion.
Searching for similarities
Biological definitions for Biological definitions for related sequencesrelated sequences
Homologues are similar sequences in two different organisms that have been derived from a common ancestor sequence. Homologues can be described as either orthologues or paralogues.
Orthologues are similar sequences in two different organisms that have arisen due to a speciation event. Orthologs typically retain identical or similar functionality throughout evolution.
Paralogues are similar sequences within a single organism that have arisen due to a gene duplication event.
Xenologues are similar sequences that do not share the same evolutionary origin, but rather have arisen out of horizontal transfer events through symbiosis, viruses, etc.
How to evolveImportant distinction:• Orthologues: homologous proteins in different species (all
deriving from same ancestor)• Paralogues: homologous proteins in same species (internal gene
duplication)
• In practice: to recognise orthology, bi-directional best hit is used in conjunction with database search program (this is called an operational definition)

Evolution
How to determine similarityFrequent evolutionary events at the DNA level:
1. Substitution
2. Insertion, deletion
3. Duplication
4. Inversion
We will restrict ourselves to these events

– Substitution (or match/mismatch)
• DNA
• proteins
– Gap penalty
• Linear: gp(k)=ak
• Affine: gp(k)=b+ak
• Concave, e.g.: gp(k)=log(k)
The score for an alignment is the sum of the scores over all alignment columns
