The aim of Mr Bump
•An automation framework for Molecular Replacement.•Particular emphasis on generating a variety of search models.•Can be used to generate models only.
•Wraps Phaser and/or Molrep.•Also uses a variety of helper applications (e.g. Chainsaw) and
bioinformatics tools (e.g. Fasta, Mafft)•Uses on-line databases (e.g. PDB, Scop)
•In favourable cases, gives “one-button” solution•In unfavourable cases, will suggest likely search models for manual
investigation (lead generation)

ModelSearch
Generate a list of structures that are possible templates for search models
5
Search for homologous proteins
• FASTA search of PDB– Sequence based search using sequence of target structure.– Can be run locally if user has fasta34 program installed or
remotely using the OCA web-based service hosted by the EBI.– Local search is done against the complete list of PDB
sequences derived from ATOM records in the PDB structure files.
– All of the resulting PDB id codes are added to a list
– Not interested in the alignment to target at this stage.
6
Search for similar structures
• Secondary Structure based search (optional)– Top hit from the FASTA search is used as the template structure
for a secondary structure based search.– Uses the SSM webservice provided by the EBI.– Any new structures found that aren’t included in the list of
matches from the FASTA search are added to the list. – Provides structural variation, not based on direct sequence
similarity to target
• Manual addition– Can add additional PDB id codes to the list, e.g. from FFAS or
psiBLAST searches
7
Multiple Alignment
• After the set of PDB ids are collected in the FASTA and SSM searches, their coordinate-based sequences are collected and put through a multiple alignment with the target sequence
• Aims:– Score template structures in a consistent manner, in order to
prioritise them for subsequent steps– Extract pairwise alignment between template and target for use
in Chainsaw step. Multiple alignment should give a better set of alignments than the original pair-wise FASTA alignments

currently support ClustalW or MAFFT for multiple alignment

Template Model Scoring
• Sequence identity:– Ungapped sequence identity i.e. sequence identity of aligned target
residues• Alignment quality:
– Dependent on the alignment length, the number of gaps created in the template alignment and the extent of each of these gaps.
– The penalties given for gaps and the size of the gaps is biased so that alignments that preserve domains of the structure rather than spreading the aligned residues out score higher.
The top scoring models are then used for further processing
• Alignment Scoring:
score = sequence identity X alignment quality
10
Domains
• Suitable templates for target domains may exist in isolation in PDB, or in combination with dissimilar domains
• In case of relative domain motion, may want to solve domains separately
11
Domains
• Domains search:– Top scoring templates from multiple alignment are tested to see
if they contain any domains.– Uses the SCOP database. This only lists domains that appear
more than once in the PDB.– The database is scanned to to see if domains exist for each of
the PDBs in the list of templates– Domains are then extracted from the parent PDB structure file
and added to the list of template models as additional search models for MR.
12
Multimers
• Multimer search:– Search for quaternary structures that may be used as search models.– Better signal-to-noise ratio than monomer, if assembly is correct for
the target.– Multimeric structures based on top templates are retrieved using the
PQS service at the EBI, and added to the list of search models– PQS will soon be replaced by the use of the PISA service at the EBI

Search Model Preparation
Search models prepared in four ways:1. PDBclip
– original PDB with waters removed, hydrogens removed, most probable conformations for side chains selected and chain ID’s added if missing.
2. Molrep – Molrep contains a model preparation function which will align the
template sequence with the target sequence and prune the non-conserved side chains accordingly.
– Chainsaw – Can be given any alignment between the target and template
sequences.– Non-conserved residues are pruned back to the gamma atom.
1. Polyalanine– Created by excluding all of the side chain atoms beyond the CB atom
using the Pdbset program
15
Search Model Preparation
Ensemble for Phaser:
• Top scoring search models are “superposed” to create a ensemble model.
• This may provide a better search model than any of the individual models on their own.
• Currently the default is to use the top 5 scoring search models but plan to create dynamically based on MW and RMSDs of constituent search models

Molecular Replacement& Refinement
17
• The search models can be processed with Molrep or Phaser or both.
• The resulting models from molecular replacement are passed to Refmac for restrained refinement.
• The change in the Rfree value during refinement is used to determine how good the resulting model is.
• If the final value for Rfree is less than 0.35 or it is less than 0.5 and has fallen by more than 20 % from the initial Rfree, a solution is deemed to have been found.
• Models that produce an Rfree below 0.5 and the value looks to be falling will be highlighted as “marginal solutions” that are worthy of further investigation if no solution is found using the other search models.

• MrBUMP can take advantage of a compute cluster to farm out the Molecular Replacement jobs.
• Currently Sun Grid Engine enabled clusters are supported but support will be added for LSF and condor and any other types of queuing system if there is enough demand.

A few observations ...
• In difficult cases, success in MrBUMP may depend on particular template, chain and model preparation method• Nevertheless, may get several putative solutions• Ease of subsequent model re-building, model completion may depend on choice of solution
• First solution or check everything? • Expectation that quick solution required - in fact, most users seem happy to let MrBUMP run for long time (hours, days)
• Worth checking “failed” solutions!
25
Future developments
• Windows support (almost done)• Complexes (in progress)
– Processing of multiple target sequences• Improved alignment:
• Multiple alignment against larger sequence database• Alignment from profile-based search• User-supplied alignment• Incorporate PISA multimer determining service (in progress)
• Model generation:• Identification of flexible loops• Normal mode generated conformations
• Develop web-service version to allow CCP4i users to run jobs on CCP4 cluster
