BADASP

BADASP can produce different kind of measure:

  • bad: similar the Type II of functional divergence. The threshold to choose depend if we want to be stringeant (i.e. BAD > 4) or more relaxed (BAD > 2).
  • badn = BADN variant of BAD: similar the Type I of functional divergence, between two groups.
  • badx = BADX variant of BAD: similar the Type II of functional divergence, between many groups.
  • ssc = Livingstone & Barton method (SSC) ⇒ doesn't use ancestral reconstruction. Was developed prior to BAD.
  • pdad = Property Difference After Duplication (PDAD) method
  • eta = Basic Evolutionary Trace Analysis (ETA) ⇒ Strictly conserved residues = 1, else = 0.
  • etaq = Quantitative variant of ETA

All these methods are described in details in the manual, chapter 3.1: Functional Specificity Prediction.

Installation

Download the badasp archive and unzip it: http://www.southampton.ac.uk/~re1u06/software/badasp/index.html

wget http://www.southampton.ac.uk/~re1u06/software/downloads/badasp.zip
unzip badasp.zip

Execution

We want to identify the residues making differences between the isoforms 1 and isoforms 4 of the V-type proton ATPase 116 kDa subunit a.

cd ./badasp  # Folder of installation

Execute badasp by importing the multiple alignment in FASTA format (“badasp_eg.fas”) and activating the interactive mode (i=1):

python badasp.py seqin=badasp_eg.fas i=1

Badasp will ask for the associated tree, in newick format (“badasp_eg.nsf”):

Looking for treefile badasp_eg.nsf.
Tree: ['seqin=badasp_eg.fas', 'i=1', 'nsfin=badasp_eg.nsf']  <ENTER> to continue

=> nsfin=badasp_eg.nsf

=> Press enter

Display Tree, with two groups of sequences:
V-type proton ATPase 116 kDa subunit a
- VPP1 = VPP Isoform 1 (8 genes)
- NVL = VPP Isoform 4 (3 genes)

Rooted Tree (1000 bootstraps). Branch Lengths given. 21 nodes.  <ENTER> to continue.
=> Press enter

Tree is rooted at node 21 => perfect
=> Press 0, then enter.

 *** Tree Menu *** 

Sequence Data are already imported => we quit the menu.

Choice [default=Q]:  q 
Quit Tree Menu? (y/n) [default=Y]:  y

We have a tree and we need to define the two groups to analyse:

#*# Grouping Summary #*#

Currently 0 groups. (11 Orphans)
=> Press enter

# We need to split the tree on the node 21, so we need to define two groups from the children nodes 20 (= VPP1 subfamily) and 19 (= VPP4 subfamily) .
=> Press M, then enter.  # Manual grouping
(Tree displayed)
Choice? [default=Q]:  c  # We collapse node
Node [default=0]: 20
=> Type VPP1, then Press enter

Choice? [default=Q]:  c  # We collapse node
Node [default=0]:  19
=> Type VPP4, then Press enter

Choice? [default=Q]:  Q, then enter  # We collapse node

Choice for Grouping? [default=K]: K, then enter

Write Group Names? (y/n) [default=N]:  N
Use badasp_eg for output filenames? (y/n) [default=Y]:  enter
Use these parameters? (y/n) [default=Y]:  enter

Badasp will now perform some computation. It will reconstruct the ancestral sequences at each node of the tree, using the GASP (Gapped Ancestral Sequence Prediction) method:

Making Ancestral Sequences - Variable PAM Weighting Reading PAM1 matrix from jones.pam

# #Start computing Saving Ancestral Sequences in badasp_eg.anc.fas… <ENTER> to continue. Method BADX needs query but none given. Drop BADX from specificity methods? (y/n) [default=Y]: n Method BADX needs query but none given. Use sequence 1 (vpp1_HUMAN/Q8N5G7)? (y/n) [default=N]: y

Now, Badasp will ask you the kind of output you want. Let's say yes to everything.

Analysis

Open the file in your spreadsheet (or cut&space).

The columns are separated by a tab.

Color the “BAD”, “BADN” and “BAD” columns with a conditional formating, with value > 3.

In Jalview:

Load multiple alignment: badasp_eg.fas

Load tree: badasp_eg.nsf

Put a vertical line a the root of the tree to split the tree in two.

Some sites are interesting, i.e.:

  • Positon 3 BAD
  • Position 762 BAD
  • Position 223 BADX

There are only three genes in the group de VPP4, that explains why the BADX score are very close to the BAD score.
