Section D. Identification of serotype-specific amino acid positions in DENV NS1
Objective
Upon completion of this exercise, you will be able to use the Virus Pathogen Resource (ViPR; http://www.viprbrc.org/) to:
• Search for virus sequences and view sequence annotations in ViPR
• Search for immune epitopes
• Save selected sequences as a working set in your private Workbench space
• Use Meta-CATS to identify nucleotide or amino acid positions that significantly differ between groups of virus sequences
• Perform a multiple sequence alignment to observe sequence conservation and variations
In this use case, we will identify serotype-specific amino acid positions in NS1, which could then be used to produce serotype-specific antibodies and reagents for use in a rapid clinical test.
I. Search for sequences and save sequences into working sets
a. Mouse-over the “Virus Families” tab and select “Dengue” to get to the Dengue virus homepage.
b. In the Search Data section, click “Genes & Proteins”.
c. The Gene/Protein Search page will be loaded. You will notice you have many options to search: virus serotype, gene symbol, gene product name, virus attributes, host attributes, clinical attributes, etc. Select the following search options, note how the “Results matching your criteria” counts change as you define new search criteria, and click the “Search” button.
Dengue virus 1 – Select All Complete Genomes Only – checked Dengue virus 2 – Select All Gene Symbol radio button – “NS1” Dengue virus 3 – Select All Advanced options – Remove Identical Protein Sequences –checkbox Dengue virus 4 – Select All Complete Genomes Only – checked
3/1/2014 Virus Pathogen Database and Analysis Resource (ViPR) - Flaviviridae - Protein and Gene Search
Gene/Protein Search Search for virus protein/gene and related information. You can search for the whole virus family or search for specified genus, species etc. You can also find your strain orgenome record if you have its information, such as strain name, accession.
Protein/Gene searches for Dengue virus or Hepatitis C virus can be augmented with clinical metadata criteria. Selecting the appropriate nodes in the taxonomy browser(Flavivirus, Dengue virus, Hepacivirus, Hepatitis C virus) will add metadata search panels and enable you to include these criteria. Some sequences have more metadatafields defined than others. Queries based on metadata only retrieve sequences for which those fields are defined.

d. The Search Results page will be displayed. Here you can:
i. Sort records by a display field by clicking the corresponding column header. Note: You can do advanced sorting by clicking the “Display Settings” button located above the result table.
ii. Save the search query to your Workbench and rerun the search again later.
iii. Download sequences (CDS, protein) by selecting sequences and then clicking “Download”.
iv. Store selected sequences into a working set by clicking “Add to Working Set”.
v. Analyze sequences by selecting the desired sequences and choosing an analysis option under the “Run Analysis” menu.
vi. Click “View” next to a strain name to view the Gene/Protein details.
e. From the Search Results page, select all NS1 protein records by ticking the checkbox above the table. Then click the “Add to working set” button to add them to a working set.
f. You’ll be prompted to log in to your Workbench account in order to save data to a working set. If you don’t have an account already, simply register for an account for free by choosing the “Register for a new account” option and following the prompts.
g. A lightbox of “Add to Working Set” will pop up. Now create a new working set and name it “Unique DENV NS1 proteins”. Click “Add to Working Set” to save selected records to a working set.
h. Click the “Workbench” tab in the grey navigation bar, you will see the working set “Unique DENV NS1 proteins” listed at the top of the table.
i. Click “View” to display records saved in the working set.
II. Metadata-driven Comparative Analysis Tool for Sequences (Meta-CATS)
a. On the Working Set Details page, select all NS1 records by ticking the “Select all” checkbox, mouse over “Run Analysis”, and click “Metadata-driven Comparative Analysis Tool”.
Metadata-driven Comparative Analysis Tool for Sequences (Meta-CATS)
• A unique comparative genomics analysis tool in ViPR to identify nucleotide/amino acid positions that significantly differ between two or more groups of virus sequences.
• Meta-CATS consists of three parts: a multiple sequence alignment (using MUSCLE), a chi-square goodness of fit test to identify positions (columns) of the multiple sequence alignment that significantly differ from the expected (random) distribution of residues between all metadata groups, and a Pearson's chi-square test to identify the specific pairs of metadata groups that contribute to the observed statistical difference.

b. The Meta-CATS page will be loaded. Choose the “Auto Grouping” radio button, choose “Viral Species” from the drop-down list, and then click “Continue”.
c. On the Meta-CATS Setup Subset page, you will see the selected records have been separated into 4 groups based on serotype. Confirm grouping and click “Run”.
d. Once the analysis is finished, the Meta-CATS Report will be displayed. The Meta-CATS analysis result has two reports: a Chi-square Goodness of Fit test result table listing the positions that have a significant non-random distribution between your specified groups, and a Pearson's chi-square test result table listing the specific pairs of groups that contribute to the observed statistical difference.

e. Examine position 47 and neighboring positions in both the top and bottom tables. What do you observe regarding the amino acids present in the different serotype groups?
f. Examine positions 124 and 191 as well.
III. Visualize protein sequence alignment
Now we are going to view the protein sequence alignment to confirm the meta-CATS results.
a. From the meta-CATS report page, click “Visualize Aligned Sequences” at the top of the page.
Note: You can also run an alignment on the saved sequence working set by navigating to the working set in your Workbench area and then clicking the “Visualize Aligned Sequences” option from the “Run Analysis” pull down menu.
b. The alignment is presented in the JalView visualization window. The window is interactive.
i. The consensus sequence is shown at the bottom of the window. You can choose to show sequence logos by right-clicking on consensus and then selecting "Show logo".

ii. You can manually adjust the alignment and display using various gray menu options.
iii. Scroll right to position 124. Note the residue at this position is correlated with serotypes. (DENV-1: I; DENV-2: L; DENV-3: V; DENV-4: F).
IV. Immune epitope locations
a. Mouse over the “Search Data” tab and click “Immune Epitopes”.
b. The Immune Epitope Search page will be loaded. Select the following search criteria, and then click the “Search” button.
Flavivirus -> Dengue virus – Select All Epitope Type – Experimentally Determined Epitopes Gene Symbol – NS1 B cell – Positive checkbox Host – human
c. The Immune Epitope Search page will be loaded. Find IEDB ID 2246. Serotype-specific position 124 identified by Meta-CATS is located within this B-cell epitope.
