Abstract
En 中文
Designing sequences for specific protein backbones is a key step in creating new functional proteins. Here, we introduce GeoSeqBuilder, a deep learning framework that integrates protein sequence generation with side chain conformation prediction to produce the complete all-atom structures for designed sequences. GeoSeqBuilder uses spatial geometric features from protein backbones and explicitly includes three-body interactions of neighboring residues. GeoSeqBuilder achieves native residue type recovery rate of 51.6 %, comparable to ProteinMPNN and other leading methods, while accurately predicting side chain conformations. We first used GeoSeqBuilder to design sequences for thioredoxin and a hallucinated three-helical bundle protein. All the 15 tested sequences expressed as soluble monomeric proteins with high thermal stability, and the 2 high-resolution crystal structures solved closely match the designed models. The generated protein sequences exhibit low similarity (minimum 23 %) to the original sequences, with significantly altered hydrophobic cores. We further redesigned the hydrophobic core of glutathione peroxidase 4, and 3 of the 5 designs showed improved enzyme activity. Although further testing is needed, the high experimental success rate in our testing demonstrates that GeoSeqBuilder is a powerful tool for designing novel sequences for predefined protein structures with atomic details.
