BACKGROUND: Protein sequence similarities to any types of non-globular segments
(coiled coils, low complexity regions, transmembrane regions, long loops, etc.
where either positional sequence conservation is the result of a very simple,
physically induced pattern or rather integral sequence properties are critical)
are pertinent sources for mistaken homologies. Regretfully, these considerations
regularly escape attention in large-scale annotation studies since, often, there
is no substitute to manual handling of these cases. Quantitative criteria are
required to suppress events of function annotation transfer as a result of false
homology assignments. RESULTS: The sequence homology concept is based on the
similarity comparison between the structural elements, the basic building blocks
for conferring the overall fold of a protein. We propose to dissect the total
similarity score into fold-critical and other, remaining contributions and
suggest that, for a valid homology statement, the fold-relevant score
contribution should at least be significant on its own. As part of the article,
we provide the DissectHMMER software program for dissecting HMMER2/3 scores into
segment-specific contributions. We show that DissectHMMER reproduces HMMER2/3
scores with sufficient accuracy and that it is useful in automated decisions
about homology for instructive sequence examples. To generalize the dissection
concept for cases without 3D structural information, we find that a dissection
based on alignment quality is an appropriate surrogate. The approach was applied
to a large-scale study of SMART and PFAM domains in the space of seed sequences
and in the space of UniProt/SwissProt. CONCLUSIONS: Sequence similarity core
dissection with regard to fold-critical and other contributions systematically
suppresses false hits and, additionally, recovers previously obscured homology
relationships such as the one between aquaporins and formate/nitrite transporters
that, so far, was only supported by structure comparison.
