==== FunDi ====
=== Installation ===
Download it from https://github.com/dgaston/FunDi
=> ZIP button
Install it with these commands:
unzip dgaston-FunDi-229c4d6.zip
cd dgaston-FunDi-229c4d6/
unzip qmmraxml.zip
export PATH=$PATH:qmmraxml # Or mv qmmraxml/qmmraxmlHPC to a PATH folder
if not working, you may need to recompile qmmraxmlHPC
unzip dgaston-FunDi-229c4d6.zip
cd dgaston-FunDi-229c4d6/
unzip qmmraxml.zip
cd qmmraxml
make clean # remove all files
make # compile qmmraxmlHPC
cd ..
export PATH=$PATH:qmmraxml # or move qmmraxmlHPC in a path folder.
FunDi needs PERL release 5.10 or higher (maybe with threads enabled).
==== Identication of function sites in the Glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH) (EC 1.2.1.12) enzyme ====
=== Execution ===
perl FunDi.pl -a GAPDH_alignment.phy -o gapdh_subtree -m LG -s gapdh_subtree.def -P qmmraxml -r 4 -t gapdh.tre
(It can take time)
Parameters:
* -a: multiple alignment file in PHYLIP format.
* -o: basename for output.
* -m: Substitution matrix (qmmraxml => LG).
* -s: definition of groups, one line = one subgroup.
* -P: phylogenetic tool to estimate parameters.
* -r: number of categories for the gamma distribution.
* -t: phylogenetic tree in NEWiCK format.
More details with the help:
perl FunDi.pl -h
=== Results ===
== Visualisation of sites ==
The most important file is "FunDi_Posterior_Scores.txt".\\
You can load it in your spreadsheet (tab separated, activate special detection of numbers).\\
The numbering of sites starts from 0.\\
Sites with a posterior probality P(FD) with 0.50 or more could be interesting.\\
In particular:\\
* site 38 (= 39 in Jalview) (= 34 in the structure 2PKQ)
* site 193 (=194 in Jalview) (=188 in the structure 2PKQ)
* site 195 (=196 in Jalview) (=191 in the structure 2PKQ)
Open Jalview, load the file GAPDH_alignment.phy, remove the first line and visualisation the sites.
== 3D visualisation ==
Open PyMol and load protein 2PKQ
Plugins-> PDB Loader Service
Change the visualisation mode
all->S->Show->as->Cartoon
all->C->Color by->chain
In the PyMol command line, select the sites of interest...
select ImportantSites, resi 34+188+191
... and change the visualisation mode:
(ImportantSites)->S->Show->Spheres
(ImportantSites)->C->Color by->chain
