I-TASSER-MTD is a hierarchical protocol to predict structures and functions of
multi-domain (MTD) proteins.
It first predicts the domain boundaries by
FUpred and
ThreaDom
based on the deep-learning contact-map prediction and multiple threading alignments.
Next, the structure model of each individual domain is constructed independently
by
I-TASSER
guided by the deep learning predicted spatial restraints.
Finally, the individual domain models are assembled into full-length structure by
DEMO
under guidance of quaternary structural templates and deep-learning distance profiles.
Meanwhile, the protein functions at both domain level and full-chain level are annotated by
COFACTOR
based on structures, sequences, and protein-protein interaction networks.
