    Abstract The functionalities of proteins rely on protein conformational changes during many processes. Identification of the protein conformations and capturing transitions among different conformations are important but extremely challenging in both experiments and simulations. In this work, we develop a machine learning based approach to identify a reaction coordinate that accelerates the exploration of protein conformational changes in molecular simulations. We implement our approach to study the conformational changes of human NTHL1 during DNA repair. Our results identified three distinct conformations: open (stable), closed (unstable), and bundle (stable). The existence of the bundle conformation can rationalize recent experimental observations. Comparison with an NTHL1 mutant demonstrates that a closely packed cluster of positively charged residues in the linker could be a factor to search when screening for genetic abnormalities. Results will lead to a better modulation of the DNA repair pathway to protect against carcinogenesis.

    Abstract T-cell immunoglobulin and mucin domain-containing protein-3 (TIM3) is an important receptor protein that modulates the immune system. The binding of TIM3 with Galectin 9 (GAL9) triggers immune system suppression, but the TIM3-GAL9 binding can be inhibited by binding of the peptide P26 to TIM3. A fast and accurate prediction of the P26-TIM3 binding site is crucial and a prerequisite for the investigation of P26-TIM3 interactions and TIM3-GAL9 binding pathways. Here, we present a machine learning approach, which considers protein conformational changes, to quickly identify the ligand-binding site on TIM3. Our results show that the P26 binding site is located near the C″-D loop of TIM3. Further simulations show that the binding pose is stabilized by a variety of electrostatic and hydrophobic interactions. Binding of P26 can alter the conformations of nearby glycan side chains on TIM3, providing possible mechanisms of how P26 inhibits TIM3-GAL9 binding pathways. The insights from this work will facilitate the identification of other peptides or antibodies that may also inhibit the TIM3-GAL9 pathways and eventually lead to improved attempts in the modulation of the TIM3-GAL9 immunosuppression pathways. The strategies and machine learning method can be generalized to study ligand-receptor binding when the conformational changes during the binding are important.

    Abstract Receptor-mediated endocytosis (RME) is a highly complex process carried out by bioparticles, such as viruses and drug carriers, to enter cells. The discovery of both clathrin-dependent and clathrin-free pathways makes the RME process even more intriguing. Numerical models have been developed to facilitate the exploration of the process. However, the impacts of the receptor properties on RME have been less studied partially due to the oversimplifications of the receptor models. In this paper, we implement a stochastic model to systematically investigate the effects of mechanical (receptor flexure), geometrical (receptor length) and biochemical (ligand-receptor cutoff) properties of receptors, on RME with and without the existence of clathrin. Our simulation results show that the receptor's flexural rigidity plays an important role in RME with clathrin. There is a threshold beyond which particle internalization will not occur. Without clathrin, it is very difficult to achieve complete endocytosis with ligand-receptor interactions alone. A shorter receptor length and longer ligand-receptor reaction cutoff promote the formation of ligand-receptor bonds and facilitate particle internalization. Complete internalization can only be obtained with an extremely short receptor length and long reaction cutoff. Therefore, there are most likely some additional mechanisms to drive the membrane deformation in clathrin-free RME. Our results yield important fundamental insights into RME and provide crucial guidance when correlating the simulation results with experimental observations.

    Abstract It is very challenging to sample a molecular process with large activation energies using molecular dynamics simulations. Current enhanced sampling methodologies, such as umbrella sampling and metadynamics, rely on the identification of appropriate reaction coordinates for a system. In this paper, we developed a method for log-probability estimation via invertible neural networks for enhanced sampling (LINES). This iterative scheme utilizes a normalizing flow machine learning model to learn the underlying free energy surface (FES) of a system as a function of molecular coordinates and then applies a gradient-based optimization method to the learned normalizing flow to identify reaction coordinates. A biasing potential is then evaluated over a tabulated grid of the reaction coordinate values, which can be applied to the next round of simulations for enhanced sampling, resulting in more efficient sampling. We tested the accuracy and efficiency of the LINES method in sampling the FES using the alanine dipeptide system. We also demonstrated the effectiveness of identification of reaction coordinates through simulation of cyclobutanol unbinding from β-cyclodextrin and the folding/unfolding of CLN025─a variant of the peptide Chignolin. The LINES method can be extended to the study of large-scale protein systems with complex nonlinear reaction pathways.

    Abstract Vesicle exocytosis is a promising pathway for brain drug delivery through the blood-brain barrier to treat neurodegenerative diseases. In vesicle exocytosis, the membrane fusion process is initiated by the calcium sensor protein named synaptotagmin-like protein4-a (Slp4-a). Understanding conformational changes of Slp4-a during the prefusion stage of exocytosis will help to develop vesicle-based drug delivery to the brain. In this work, we use molecular dynamics (MD) simulations with a hybrid force field coupling united-atom protein model with MARTINI coarse-grained (CG) solvent to capture the conformational changes of Slp4-a during the prefusion stage. These hybrid coarse-grained simulations are more efficient than all-atom MD simulations and can capture protein interactions and conformational changes. Our simulation results show that the calcium ions play critical roles during the prefusion stage. Only one calcium ion can remain in each calcium-binding pocket of Slp4-a C2 domains. The C2B domain of calcium-unbound Slp4-a remains parallel to the endothelial membrane, while the C2B domain of calcium-bound Slp4-a rotates perpendicular to the endothelial membrane to approach the vesicular membrane. For the calcium-bound case, three Slp4-a proteins can effectively bend lipid membranes at the prefusion stage, which could later trigger lipid stalk between membranes. This work provides a better understanding how C2 domains of Slp4-a operate during vesicle exocytosis from an endothelial cell.
