Example of cluster of similar interfaces of homologous proteins identified by ProtCID -- similar homodimers of ERBB kinases (EGFR, ERBB2, ERBB4) associated with kinase activation.[2][3][4] Each monomer is colored from blue to red from N to C terminus. ProtCID provides PyMol scripts for each cluster to produce similar images.

The Protein Common Interface Database (ProtCID) is a database of similar protein-protein interfaces in crystal structures of homologous proteins.[1]

Its main goal is to identify and cluster homodimeric and heterodimeric interfaces observed in multiple crystal forms of homologous proteins. Such interfaces, especially of non-identical proteins or protein complexes, have been associated with biologically relevant interactions.[5]

A common interface in ProtCID indicates chain-chain interactions that occur in different crystal forms. All protein sequences of known structure in the Protein Data Bank (PDB)[6] are assigned a ”Pfam chain architecture”, which denotes the ordered Pfam[7] assignments for that sequence, e.g. (Pkinase) or (Cyclin_N)_(Cyclin_C). Homodimeric interfaces in all crystals that contain a particular architecture are compared, regardless of whether there are other protein types in the crystals. All interfaces between two different Pfam architectures in all PDB entries that contain them are also compared (e.g., (Pkinase) and (Cyclin_N)_(Cyclin_C) ). For both homodimers and heterodimers, the interfaces are clustered into common interfaces based on a similarity score.

ProtCID reports the number of crystal forms that contain a common interface, the number of PDB entries, the number of PDB and PISA[8] biological assembly annotations that contain the same interface, the average surface area, and the minimum sequence identity of proteins that contain the interface. ProtCID provides an independent check on publicly available annotations of biological interactions for PDB entries.
