Background/Motivation:

The dearth of structural information on alpha helical membrane protein (MPs) has hindered thus far the development of reliable knowledge –based potentials that can be used for automatic prediction of trans-membrane (TM) protein structure. While algorithm for identification of TM segments is available, modelling of the domains of alpha helical MPs involves assembling the segments into a bundle. This requires the correct assignment of the buried and lipid-exposed faces of the TM domains. 

Results: In a cross validated test on single sequences, our trans-membrane MM, correctly predicts the entire topology for 77% of the sequences in a standard dataset of 86 proteins with supervised topology. These results compare favorably with existing methods. 

Source Code: Matlab

Conclusion/Implementation: Here discriminant data mining approach was used to predict the location and orientation of alpha helices in membrane-spanning proteins. It is based on a first order Markov model (MM) with an architecture that corresponds closely to the biological systems. The model is enriched with three types of states for the loop on the cytoplasmic side (outer loop), loop for the non-cytoplasmic side (inner side), and trans-membrane part. The closed association between the biological and Markov states allows us to infer which part of the model architecture are important to capture the information which encodes the membrane topology, and gain a better understanding of the mechanism and constraints involved. Predictor Model was established by various  Markov decoder , and assignment of the membrane helix boundaries was apparent.

Requirements

You are (or soon will be) a master in bio-informatics. You have strong ICT skills and you are eager to fully submerge into the world of protein modeling. You have good experience with Linux and one or more programming languages as well as knowledge of tertiary structure analysis. Candidates with a Master degree in one of the life sciences (Biomedical sciences, Biochemistry, Bio-engineering, Biostatistics, …), with relevant interest and extended experience in this field are also welcome. A general background cancer biology and genetics is needed. You are willing and eligible to apply for a personal PhD fellowship with the Flemish FWO (FWO.be). Therefore, it is required that you hold a master degree from a European university, and have not obtained your master diploma more than three years ago (see FWO website for detailed conditions). Proficiency in English, and good communication skills, both oral and written, are required. You are highly motivated, and you like to work in an interactive research team. You are willing to work on a 4-year PhD project starting beginning of 2020.

What we offer

We offer a one year position, as a PhD student, which can be extended up to 4 year upon positive evaluation, even if a personal fellowship application is not successful. Wages are according to the standard Flemish bursary levels for PhD students.

Interested?
For additional information please contact dr. Geert Vandeweyer. To apply, send a copy of your CV including details of your relevant skills and a motivation letter by e-mail to dr. Geert Vandeweyer (geert.vandeweyer@uantwerpen.be) before March 15, 2020.
