DESCRIPTION

PROTIN is run before the restrained maximum likelihood refinement program REFMAC to prepare an input file which contains the ideal and observed atomic parameters and details of the restraints to be applied. The program uses a dictionary of ideal protein geometry. You have a choice of three dictionaries: the default is based on John Priestle's dictionary and with added co-factors, John's original and a dictionary from Victor Lamzin. See DICTPROTN below.

There are some examples of input for different cases given below.

KEYWORDED INPUT

The various data control lines are identified by the following keywords:

CHNNAM, CHNTYP, CONTACTS, DISULPHIDE, HATOM, LIST, NONX, PEPP, SPECIAL, SYMMETRY, TITLE, VDWCUT, VDWRADII, END.

DESCRIPTION OF KEYWORDS

Compulsory keywords are: CHNNAM CHNTYP

CHNNAM ID <chainid> CHNTYP <ichtyp> [ROFFSET <nroffset>]

This keyword must be given once for each chain in the input coordinate file.
For example: CHNNAM ID A CHNTYP 1 ROFFSET 200

Subsidiary keywords:

ID <chainid>
This is the single character chain identifier which is present in the input coordinate file. If you have only one chain, this can default to a space. If you have two or more, each chain must have an ID.
CHNTYP <ichtyp>
This sets a flag for the chain type. Details of the chain type are given by the CHNTYP keyword. If there is non crystallographic symmetry you may have several chains with the same chain type, but different chain IDs. In this case, you would have a CHNNAM keyword for each chain, but only one CHNTYP keyword, thus avoiding repetition of most information.
ROFFSET <nroffset>
This is the base residue number for this chain. If your chain is numbered from 101 you will need to set ROFFSET = 100. (Default 0)
WARNING: if you specify ROFFSET then in all appropriate keywords the residue number MUST be given as the relative residue number for that chain. Thus if you have this line
CMNNAM ID B CHNTYP 2 ROFFSET 100
then B101 should be referred to as B1.

CHNTYP <ichtyp> <type information>...

<ichtyp> is the chain type code (1 to NCHTYP). This must match the information on the CHNNAM input.

<type information>... may be one or more of:

      
      NTERMinal <nres0> <resnam> <ntertyp>
      CTERMinal <creso> <resnam> <ctertyp>
      WATer | SOLvent | HOH | NON-protein
      DISULphide <ndss> <ires1> <jres1>  ... <ires_ndss> <jres_ndss>
      CISPeptide <ncis> <ires1> ... <ires_ncis>
      MULPLN     <nmlp> <ires1> ... <ires_nmlp>
      CARBOhydrate <ncarb> <ires1> ... <ires_ncarb>

                 ATNAMe <atid1> <atid2> 
                 DIST <dist> <ikwt> <ibwt> SUGA <angle>

One or more CHNTYP keywords can be entered for any chain type. Examples:

CHNTYP 1 NTERM 1 GLY 3     CTERM 21 ALA 2     MULPLN 1 143 CISPRO 1 17

CHNTYP 2 WAT

Subsidiary keywords to CHNTYP:

NTERM <nres0> <resnam> <ntertyp>
<nres0> is the sequence number of the N-terminal residue of this chain.
<resnam> is the amino acid name of N-terminal group
<ntertyp> is the type of N-terminal group as specified in the standard dictionary (e.g. 3 for an N amino terminus). (See Note 1)
CTERM <cres0> <resnam> <ctertyp>
<cres0> is the sequence number of the C-terminal residue of this chain.
<resnam> is the amino acid name of C-terminal group.
<ctertyp> is the type of C-terminal group (e.g. 2 for a COO terminus). (See Note 1).
WAT or NON-PROTEIN or SOL or HOH
This indicates that this chain is non-protein; i.e. a solvent chain. The program will not try to link residues in such a chain. Non-protein CHNTYPs should follow those for proteins.
DISU <ndss> <ires1> <jres1>...<ires_ndss> <jres_ndss>
(Use primary keyword DISU described below to specify disulphides between different chains.)
<ndss>: Number of disulphide bridges for this chain type. (max MXSS given at top of output, currently 20)
<iresi> <jresi> are the linked residue numbers. (The disulphide bridges should only be specified once for each <ires1> <jresi>, not for the reverse <jresi> <iresi>)
CISPEP <ncis> <ires1> ... <ires_ncis>
<ncis> is the number of residues with cis peptide bonds (max.=5). (Usually PROLINES.) Remember the main chain atoms are N and CA of this residue, plus C, O and CA of the residue before. (Maximum number set to 5)
<ires1> ... <ires_ncis> are the residue numbers of these peptides. (The list may also be used to specify D amino acids. In this case give <iresi> = - the residue number.)
MULPLN <nmlp> <ires1> ... <ires_nmlp>

<ires1> is the number of the initial residue for this stretch of structure.
<ires2> is the number of the final residue for this stretch of structure.
<kode> is a code identifying the type of structure. <kode>=-1 means restrain Phi, Psi to values of the initial structure. Otherwise <kode>=n means restrain Phi, Psi to values specified in the ideal dictionary for secondary structures type n:

Subsidiary keywords to CHNTYP SPEC:

RESNUMBER <ires1> <ires2>
<ires1> and <ires2> are the numbers of the linked residues.
RESNUMBER <ires1> TO <ires2>
<ires1> and <ires2> are the range of numbers of the linked residues, ie all consecutive pairs from <ires1> <ires1>+1 to <ires2>-1 <ires2> will bew linked. This is useful for instance to link polynucleotide chains.
ATNAME <atid1> <atid2>
<atid1> <atid2> are the names of linked atoms.
DISTANCE <dist> <ikwt> <ibwt>
<dist> is the ideal distance between the 2 atoms.
<ikwt> gives the code number for the distance restraint to be used in PROLSQ.
<ikwt> can be 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5
Default PROLSQ weights are:
               Bonding length (1-2 neighbour)          0.02A
               Angle related distance (1-3 neighbour)  0.04A
               Intraplanar distance (1-4 neighbour)    0.05A
               H bond or metal coordination distance   0.05A
               Special distance:                       ????

<ibwt> gives the code number for the Bfactor restraint to be used in PROLSQ.
<ibwt> can be 1,2,3,4,or 5

               Main chain bond (1-2 neighbour)         1.00A**2
               Main chain angle (1-3 neighbour)        1.50A**2
               Side chain bond                         1.00A**2
               Side chain angle                        1.50A**2
               Special                                  ?????
SUGar (optional) followed by 3 numbers: SUGA,XSIAN,CHIAN
This specifies the linkage between two carbohydrate residues. SUGA is the bond angle C1 - On - Cn in a (1 - n) linkage. (The special distance should be the C1 - On distance.) If SUGA is negative, the linkage is restrained to be a beta (1-n) linkage, if positive, an alpha (1-n) linkage. This should also be used to specify the linkage between the first carbohydrate residue and the protein sidechain (Asn or Ser). SUGA will normally have amplitude 114 degrees, but 120 degrees for the linkage to Asn.
      XSIAN is the angle O5-C1-On (default 107.6)
      CHIAN is the angle C2-C1-On (default 109.0)

Carbohydrate residues should have the same chain identifier as the protein chain to which they are attached. In the special distance defining the Asn to carbohydrate linkage, the Asn residue should be given as the second residue (JRES) and NOT the first.
Note that the code assumes that ASN is group number 3 in the dictionary, and also assumes the order of atoms for Asn and the carbohydrates. (For Asn, CG,OD1,ND2 should be atoms 6,7,8: for carbohydrates, C1,C2 must be the first and second atoms, O5 must be the last (O6 for sialic acid)).

See CCP4 newsletter 17, March 1986, article by Pete Artymiuk for further details.

CONTACTS [NOINtermolecular] | [TRANS <ntrans>] | [ CONFormers ] | [ OCCUP <bump_occ> ] | [ NAMEd <nbump> CHNNAM <chnid1> RESNo <ires1> ... ]

NOTE: CONTACTS requires the presence of the SYMM keyword.

Specify van der Waals contacts searches are to be done. By default, non bonded contacts between all symmetry equivalent molecules are checked. The number of unit cell translations to be tested can be defined by TRANS. Translations up to <ntrans> unit cells will be applied (positive and negative). <ntrans> defaults to 2.

To prevent symmetry checking, specify NOINtermolecular.

Atoms are considered as bumping if (a) the sum of their occupancies is greater tham bump_occ. ( default 1.2). If you wish to reset this use key word:

OCCUP <bump_occ>
bump_occ used to be 1.0, but SHELXL refines occupancies to different values.
CONFormers
If this key word is set, bump checks are performed between all atoms in multiple conformations which belong to the same set. ie all those where both residues are labelled as A, or B, etc

DISULPHIDE <ndss> CHNNAM <chnid1> <chnjd2> <ires1> <jres1> ...

Use primary keyword DISU to specify disulphides between different chains (max MXSS given at top of output, currently 20).
<ndss> :Number of disulphide bridges between these chains
<chnid1> is the chain id for the CYS residue on one side of the SS bridge.
<chnjd1> is the chain id for the CYS residue on other side of the SS bridge.
<iresi> <jresi> are the linked residue numbers.
(The disulphide bridges should only be specified once for each ires1 jresi, not for the reverse jresi iresi )
Example: DISU 2 CHNNAM A B 7 7 CHNNAM A B 20 19

HATOM <ihatom>

<ihatom> defines the required type of hydrogen atom treatment:

=0

=2
X-ray case with hydrogen atoms; shrink the ideal X-H bond lengths.

LIST [ ALL | SOME | FEW ]

ALL
list all distances calculated.
SOME
list only distances that deviate by more than 0.2A from the ideal values. Also lists the ideal dictionary.
FEW
omit lists of distances from printer output except symmetry contacts and disordered contacts.

NONX <kchn> CHNID <chnid1> <chnid2> .. <chnid_kchn> NSPA <nsp> <ires1 jres1 kode1> ... <ires_nspab jres_nsp kode_nsp> [MATRIX]

sets up the restraint to noncrystallographic symmetry.

Example:
NONX 4 CHNID A B C D NSPANS 3 5 8 1 13 21 2 89 105 1

<kchn> is the number of chains in the symmetry group.

Subsidiary keywords:

Defines the chains related by noncrystallographic symmetry.
<chnid1> <chnid2> ... <chnid_kchn> are the chain ids in this symmetry group.
NSPANS <nsp> <ires1 jres1 kode1> ... <ires_nspab jres_nsp kode_nsp>
<nsp> is the number of residue spans specified on this card. (limited to 40)
<ires1 jresi kodei> give the numbers of the initial and final residues in each span, and a code for that span defined as follows:
         KODA     Main_Chain       Side_Chain

         1    tight restraint   tight restraint
         2    tight restraint   medium restraint
         3    tight restraint   loose restraint
         4    medium restraint  medium restraint
         5    medium restraint  loose restraint
         6    loose restraint   loose restraint

MATRIX
(Best not to use this!) However, if keyword MATRIX is given then it means that symmetry transformations are known exactly a priori and KCHN matrices defining the noncrystallographic symmetry must be given after the NONX control line in the following format:
             R11 R12 R13 T1
             R21 R22 R23 T2
             R31 R32 R33 T3

R and T are the rotation and translation matrices for the symmetry transformation.

If MATRIX is NOT given then it means that the symmetry transformations are not known, and the program works them out for you (MUCH easier!)
IMPORTANT: If the non crystallographic symmetry operations are not supplied then they are determined by PROLSQ, using ONLY those atoms with tight restraints. Thus in this case, there must be sufficient atoms with tight restraints specified to allow the symmetry operations to be determined with reasonable accuracy.

PEPP <napep>

<napep> (default 5) is the number of atoms in the main chain that should be restrained to lie in the same planes (atoms of the link group):

    =4, restrain Ca, C, O, N to one plane.
    =5, restrain Ca, C, O, N, Ca to one plane (default).

Example: VDWR 1 ZN 7 3.00

<nvdw>
the number of distances to be specified.
<type_i>
the atom type name (max of 4 characters). This is not used.
<icode_i>
the atom type number from 1 to 10.

In the PROTIN dictionary, ICODE numbers have been assigned to standard atom TYPE names (C,N etc.). PROTIN assigns Van-der-Waal contact distances using these ICODEs. It is essential that you check the PROTIN dictionary to see that the atom type you are interested in has the same icode as you assign here.

  Part of dictionary:

  ..........................................ICODE ..........................
<dvdw_i>
the Van-der-Waals contact distance between two atoms of this type. VDW contact distances between 2 atoms of types i and j = (DVDWi + DVDWj)/2

If you are changing the default DVDW be careful to choose an ICODE which isn't used for other atoms types in your coordinate file. So VDWR 1 ZN 7 3.00 will override the contact distance for all atom types with ICODE = 7 including for example P. If DVDW=0 then no VDW restraint is applied to atoms with this ICODE.

This is obligatory as the final card.

... WITH NONCRYSTALLOGRAPHIC SYMMETRY

There are 2 identical protein chains and 1 solvent chain. The N terminus is an acetylated ALA. Residue 401 in each protein is multiplanar group. The distance between atoms N7N and OG of residues 401 and 160 within the same chain is restrained. Noncrystallographic symmetry between the protein chains is defined and 2 residue spans have reduced restraint.

INPUT AND OUTPUT FILES

Input Files

XYZIN
The input coordinate file in standard Brookhaven format.
For Brookhaven files:
(i) the following header must be given.
 CRYST1 a b c alpha beta gamma (a6,3f9.3,3f7.2)
 SCALE1 .....................
 SCALE2 .....................
 SCALE3 .....................


(ii) some residue or atom names may need changing to match non-standard names in the dictionary. eg. an N-acetyl group has OT,CT1,CT2 not O,C,CH3
(iii) PROTIN does not support insertion codes so residues must be renumbered such that eg. 132A,132B become 132,133
(iv) Disordered residues must be given in Standard Brookhaven format.
Example:

DICTPROTN
The dictionary file of ideal protein values (see Appendix A); default is $CLIBD/protin.dic. There are three dictionaries altogether:
  1. protin.dic based on John Priestle's with added co-factors from York.
  2. protin_jp.idl John Priestle's original.
  3. protin_vl.idl a new dictioary by Victor Lamzin but also some co-factors from York. All these except NAD were NOT modified by VL, see protin_vl.doc.

The default dictionary $CLIBD/protin.dic was based on John Priestle's using the Engh and Huber parameters [Acta Cryst. A47, 392-400, 1991]. There is also a RNA/DNA dictionary composing five residues ADE, CYT, GUA, THY and URA plus other co-factors. A list is given below:

PROGRAM FUNCTION AND STRUCTURE

PROTIN is run prior to running the restrained maximum likelihood protein refinement program REFMAC (see refs. 1, 2 and 3). The program reads in a standard dictionary of protein geometry and then reads in an input coordinate file and compares the observed geometry with the ideal geometry. A file (PROTOUT) of data for use by REFMAC is created containing the following sections of data. These are in the order indicated though all sections need not necessarily be present.

 
 Atom list
 List of distances
 List of planar groups
 List of chiral centres
 List of possible contacts
 List of torsion angles
 List of non-crystallographic symmetry data
 List of thermal ellipsoids

The main control of the program is divided amongst 6 subroutines PROT1 to PROT6 which are called in sequence from a jiffy main program. The main functions of these subroutines are outlined below:

PROT1
Read in and print the control data.
Set up the arrays of the ideal geometry derived from the ideal protein geometry file by the subroutines RESIDU, (SHRINK), DISTNS, PLANES, CHIRAL, VDWAAL, TORSHN, (ELLIPS).
Read the atom data from the input coordinate file in Brookhaven format, check the atom identifiers etc. and write the atom details to the printer, if required, and the PROTIN output file on Unit 10.
PROT2
Check for missing atoms and print details of these.
Calculate and examine the various kinds of distances and write details of these to the printer, if required, and to the PROTIN output file on unit 10. Special distances are also read in and processed at this stage if required.
PROT3
Prepare details of the planar groups and write them to the printer, if required, and to the PROTIN output file on Unit 10.
Prepare details of the chiral centres and write them to the printer, if required, and to the output PROTIN file on Unit 10.
PROT4
Prepare details of the non-bonded contacts and hydrogen bonds and write them to the printer, if required, and to the PROTIN output file on Unit 10.
PROT5
Prepare details of the torsion angles and write them to the printer, if required, and to the PROTIN output file on Unit 10.
PROT6
Read in and prepare details of the non-crystallographic symmetry and write them to the printer, if required, and to the PROTIN output file on Unit 10.
Write the output counts summary to the printer and write the output counts file on Unit 11.
SUGLNK Deals with linkage of carbohydrate residues. See CCP newsletter number 17, article by Pete Artymiuk.

APPENDIX A

Setting up an Ideal Parameters Dictionary for PROTIN

This section describes the way in which a standard groups dictionary is set up. Three standard dictionaries are available for proteins without defined hydrogen atoms (referred to as IDEALS). Certain problems will require user modified dictionaries. The dictionary is set up as a card image file.

Data Cards 1 Standard Groups Definition

For each type of group defined, there is a header card 1a followed by a set of atom definition cards 1b. Cards 1a and 1b are distinguished by the value of the item IN1.

Card 1a. Name card (45X,2I5,10X,A4,A1)

IN1 IN2 IN3 IN4

 
    If IN1 >= 1,  Indicates a Name card.
                  If IN2<0 then IN1  takes  the  following
                  values for the following cases.

        1  trans-peptide
        2  cis-peptide
        3  trans-proline
        4  cis-proline
        5  disulphide bridge

                   If IN2>=1  then  IN1=2  flags  the  last
                   amino acid side chain  in  the  list  of
                   standard groups.
 
      If IN1  = -1,  Indicates the end of data cards 1  (Also
                          set IN3=END)
 
      If IN2  > 0,   The  residue  or  group   identification
                        number (i.e. 1 for ALA, 2 for ARG etc.)
 
      If IN2  = 0,   Indicates that the group is a link group
                        (e.g. cis or trans peptide, set  IN1  to
                         specify which type)
 
                 < 0,   MAIN, C-terminal or N-terminal group.

      IN3 is the 3 letter amino acid name (a4)

      IN4 is the 1 letter amino acid code (a1)

The set of codes for IN2 defined in the standard dictionaries are given below. It is inadvisable to alter the codes from -1 to -3 or from 1 to 20 and it should be noted that PROTIN makes some specific assumptions about particular residue types e.g. CYS=5, GLY=8, PRO=15. MET is taken as the standard group defining chirality at CA.

 
  Number Type              Number  Type Slc  Number  Type Slc
  -1     MAIN                1     ALA  A      13    MET  M
  -2     C-Terminal          2     ARG  R      14    PHE  F
  -3     N-Amino             3     ASN  N      15    PRO  P
  -4     N-Formyl            4     ASP  D      16    SER  S
  -5     N-Acetyl            5     CYS  C      17    THR  T
   0     Trans-peptide       7     GLU  E      19    TYR  Y
   0     Cis-peptide         8     GLY  G      20    VAL  V
   0     Trans-proline       9     HIS  H      21    HEM  X
   0     Cis-proline         10    ILE  I      22    WAT  O Water
   0     Disulphide          11    LEU  L      23    SUL  U Sulphate
                             12    LYS  K

Cards 1b Atom cards (3F10.5,10X,3I5,20X,A4)

X Y Z KATOM IN1 IN2 LABEL

X, Y, Z are the Cartesian coordinates, in Angstroms, in a reference frame with its origin at the Calpha atom.

KATOM is the atom type code. Each atom type in the dictionary must be assigned a code in the range 1 to 10 (numbers outside this range must not be used unless the programs are modified). Each particular code may correspond to several atom types (e.g. most metals have code = 7), but the default types are as follows:

                    Code   Type
                     1      C
                     2      N
                     3      O
                     4      S
                     5      FE
                     6      H
                     7      CA
                     8      I
                     9      C-SP2
                    10      OW

In the program PROTIN, Van-der-Waals contact distances are assigned on the basis of the atom type code (rather than the name). The distance associated with a particular code may be changed with the keyword VDWRADII, but remember that this will change the distances for all atom types with this code.

IN1 is a flag set to 0 for an atom card. A non-zero value indicates another card of type 1a and terminates the atom cards for the current group.

IN2 is the order number of an atom within a given residue, starting with 1 for N, 2 for Calpha etc. Amino acid side chains start with IN2=5 for the Cbeta atom. For peptide groups, corresponding negative numbers are used for denoting atoms belonging to the previous residue e.g. with the first 3 atoms belonging to the previous residue we have:
CA(-2)-C(-3)-O(-4)-N(1)-CA(2)

LABEL is the atom name up to 4 characters in length following the naming as used in the Brookhaven file format.
Cards 1 are terminated by IN1=-1 on a Name card with IN3=END

Data Cards 2 Interatomic Distances and Codes

For each group specified on data cards 1, a set of distance cards should be given. For each group there is a header card followed by the distance cards.

Cards 2a Header card (A4,6X,3I5)

    IATM(i) Number of the origin atom within the group.
    JATM(i) Number of the target atom within the group.
    KDWT(i), KBWT(i) are two codes indicating the type of distance

    1       3       Bonded pair involving 1 or more side  chain
                    atoms.

           B--C

      e.g. O(i)---Calpha(i+1)

Data Cards 3 Planar Groups Information

Cards 3a. Planar groups (A4,I2,2I3,17I4)
IDGRP KIND NCNO NA IAT(1) IAT(2) ... IAT(NA)

 
   IDGRP is the residue name 
         (equivalent to  IN3  on  data  cards 1a).
   KIND is the group number (equivalent to IN2 on data cards 1a).
         KIND=100 terminates the planar groups cards.
   NCNO is the number of non-hydrogen atoms in the planar group.
   NA is the number of atoms in the plane for this group (max. of
         17, or for link groups, 6).
   IAT(1)...IAT(NA) are the numbers of the atoms within the group
         (equivalent to IN2 or cards 2b.)  for  the  NA  atoms  
          of  the plane.

Cards 3b. Bonded pairs for link groups (16I5)

These cards are only given for Link groups.
IA(1) JA(1) IA(2) JA(2) ...

 
   IA(i), JA(i) are the atom numbers for the  bonded  pairs. The
        number of pairs given is NA*(NA-1)/2. Remember that only the
        first NAPEP atoms as defined in the data control cards for
        PROTIN will be considered to form the plane. 

Specification for multiplanar groups has been simplified.

Multiplanar groups are now indicated by a non-zero flag in IAT(17). Otherwise the input is identical to that given above. Note that this imposes a limit of 16 atoms in the plane.

Original specification of multiplanar groups is given below.

This is now redundant, but is included because many users will have dictionaries with the old type of multiplanar specification. It has been changed because of the coupling between the dictionary and the PARAMETER MXG in the source code. This meant that if MXG was changed in the program, the dictionary also had to be edited !!

For compatibility with existing dictionaries, the new version of PROTIN will STILL read and deal with multiplanar specifications using the old type of specification. It is NOT necessary to edit the dictionary. To do this, the assumption made is that if KIND is greater than the largest group number given in the list of coordinates (Card 1a), then it is an old-style dictionary, and the true group number is given in IAT(17).

Old Style Dictionary Multiplanar Specification:

KIND should be a unique identifier for each plane, and the first value used should be MXG+1, where MXG is the maximum number of groups (set in a PARAMETER statement in the program). Subsequent planes should then have identifiers MXG+2, MXG+3 etc. The other parameters are as above, except that the true group number for this residue type (i.e. IN2 on data cards 1a) must be given in the last I4 field on the card (i.e. IAT(17)). This restricts the possible number of atoms in a plane to 16.

Cards 3 are terminated by a planar group card with KIND=100.
