    Systematic analysis of the effect of multiple templates on the accuracy of comparative models of protein structure

    Background: Although multiple templates are frequently used in comparative modeling, the effect of inclusion of additional template(s) on model accuracy (when compared to that of corresponding single-template based models) is not clear. To address this, we systematically analyze two-template models, the simplest case of multiple-template modeling. For an existing target-template pair (single-template modeling), a two-template based model of the target sequence is constructed by including an additional template without changing the original alignment to measure the effect of the second template on model accuracy. Results: Even though in a large number of cases a two-template model showed higher accuracy than the corresponding one-template model, over the entire dataset only a marginal improvement was observed on average, as there were many cases where no change or the reverse change was observed. The increase in accuracy due to the structural complementarity of the templates increases at higher alignment accuracies. The combination of templates showing the highest potential for improvement is that where both templates share similar and low (less than 30%) sequence identity with the target, as well as low sequence identity with each other. The structural similarity between the templates also helps in identifying template combinations having a higher chance of resulting in an improved model. Conclusion: Inclusion of additional template(s) does not necessarily improve model quality, but there are distinct combinations of the two templates, which can be selected a priori, that tend to show improvement in model quality over the single template model. The benefit derived from the structural complementarity is dependent on the accuracy of the modeling alignment. The study helps to explain the observation that a careful selection of templates together with an accurate target:template alignment are necessary to the benefit from using multiple templates in comparative modeling and provides guidelines to maximize the benefit from using multiple templates. This enables formulation of simple template selection rules to rank targets of a protein family in the context of structural genomics

    Sing structure-based alignments (RMSD- RMSD) as a function of Target:Template1 sequence identity (S1) for different ranges of [S1–S2]. The colored circles green, yellow, blue to red are in increasing order of [S1–S2]. The absence of data at lower sequence identity (for yellow, blue and red) is due to the fact that for large values [S1 – S2], small S1 is not possible. Difference in RMSD for models built using structure-based alignments (RMSD- RMSD) as a function of Target:Template1 sequence identity (S1) for different ranges of S3. The colored circles, green, blue to red, are in the increasing order of S3. Only models with S1 similar to S2 are shown here. The absence of data points (green and blue) for higher sequence identity is due to the fact that certain combinations of S1, S2, and S3 are not possible.<p><b>Copyright information:</b></p><p>Taken from "Systematic analysis of the effect of multiple templates on the accuracy of comparative models of protein structure"</p><p>http://www.biomedcentral.com/1472-6807/8/31</p><p>BMC Structural Biology 2008;8():31-31.</p><p>Published online 16 Jul 2008</p><p>PMCID:PMC2483983.</p><p></p

The lower sequence identity region is highlighted in the inset. Because of the large number of cases analyzed (> 10,000 models per curve) even the small differences shown here are statistically significant based on the Student t test. Thus, for clarity no error bars are shown. Distribution of difference in RMSD between one-template (STR.2.1) and two-template models (STR.2.2) built using structure-based alignments (RMSD- RMSD).
