CLAUDIO: automated structural analysis of cross-linking data.

ABSTRACT:

Motivation

Cross-linking mass spectrometry has made remarkable advancements in the high-throughput characterization of protein structures and interactions. The resulting pairs of cross-linked peptides typically require geometric assessment and validation, given the availability of their corresponding structures.

Results

CLAUDIO (Cross-linking Analysis Using Distances and Overlaps) is an open-source software tool designed for the automated analysis and validation of different varieties of large-scale cross-linking experiments. Many of the otherwise manual processes for structural validation (i.e. structure retrieval and mapping) are performed fully automatically to simplify and accelerate the data interpretation process. In addition, CLAUDIO has the ability to remap intra-protein links as inter-protein links and discover evidence for homo-multimers.

Availability and implementation

CLAUDIO is available as open-source software under the MIT license at https://github.com/KohlbacherLab/CLAUDIO.

Project description:In materials research, structural characterization often requires multiple complementary techniques to obtain a holistic morphological view of a synthesized material. Depending on the availability and accessibility of the different characterization techniques (e.g., scattering, microscopy, spectroscopy), each research facility or academic research lab may have access to high-throughput capability in one technique but face limitations (sample preparation, resolution, access time) with other technique(s). Furthermore, one type of structural characterization data may be easier to interpret than another (e.g., microscopy images are easier to interpret than small-angle scattering profiles). Thus, it is useful to have machine learning models that can be trained on paired structural characterization data from multiple techniques (easy and difficult to interpret, fast and slow in data collection or sample preparation) so that the model can generate one set of characterization data from the other. In this paper we demonstrate one such machine learning workflow, Pair-Variational Autoencoders (PairVAE), that works with data from small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) that present information about bulk morphology and images from scanning electron microscopy (SEM) that present two-dimensional local structural information on the sample. Using paired SAXS and SEM data of newly observed block copolymer assembled morphologies [open access data from Doerk G. S.; et al. Sci. Adv.2023, 9 ( (2), ), eadd3687], we train our PairVAE. After successful training, we demonstrate that the PairVAE can generate SEM images of the block copolymer morphology when it takes as input that sample's corresponding SAXS 2D pattern and vice versa. This method can be extended to other soft material morphologies as well and serves as a valuable tool for easy interpretation of 2D SAXS patterns as well as an engine for generating ensembles of similar microscopy images to create a database for other downstream calculations of structure-property relationships.

Project description:BackgroundThe movement of animals is strongly influenced by external factors in their surrounding environment such as weather, habitat types, and human land use. With advances in positioning and sensor technologies, it is now possible to capture animal locations at high spatial and temporal granularities. Likewise, scientists have an increasing access to large volumes of environmental data. Environmental data are heterogeneous in source and format, and are usually obtained at different spatiotemporal scales than movement data. Indeed, there remain scientific and technical challenges in developing linkages between the growing collections of animal movement data and the large repositories of heterogeneous remote sensing observations, as well as in the developments of new statistical and computational methods for the analysis of movement in its environmental context. These challenges include retrieval, indexing, efficient storage, data integration, and analytical techniques.ResultsThis paper contributes to movement ecology research by presenting a new publicly available system, Environmental-Data Automated Track Annotation (Env-DATA), that automates annotation of movement trajectories with ambient atmospheric observations and underlying landscape information. Env-DATA provides a free and easy-to-use platform that eliminates technical difficulties of the annotation processes and relieves end users of a ton of tedious and time-consuming tasks associated with annotation, including data acquisition, data transformation and integration, resampling, and interpolation. The system is illustrated with a case study of Galapagos Albatross (Phoebastria irrorata) tracks and their relationship to wind, ocean productivity and chlorophyll concentration. Our case study illustrates why adult albatrosses make long-range trips to preferred, productive areas and how wind assistance facilitates their return flights while their outbound flights are hampered by head winds.ConclusionsThe new Env-DATA system enhances Movebank, an open portal of animal tracking data, by automating access to environmental variables from global remote sensing, weather, and ecosystem products from open web resources. The system provides several interpolation methods from the native grid resolution and structure to a global regular grid linked with the movement tracks in space and time. The aim is to facilitate new understanding and predictive capabilities of spatiotemporal patterns of animal movement in response to dynamic and changing environments from local to global scales.
