초록

단백질 일차 구조(아미노산 배열)에 대한 상동 검색은 유전자나 단백질의 기능과 진화 과정을 유추하기 위한 필수 연산이다. 그러나 진화 단계가 멀리 떨어진 경우 단백질 일차 구조는 보존되지 않기 때문에 단백질의 공간적 구조에 대한 유사 검색을 통해서만 진화 단계를 유추할 수 있다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 단백질의 공간적 구조를 표현하는 단백질 이차 구조를 대상으로 하여 RDBMS상에 쉽게 구현이 가능한 인덱싱 방안을 제안한다. 제안된 인덱싱 방안은 클러스터링 기법과 LookAhead 개념을 활용하여 Exact Match, Range Match, Wildcard Match 질의를 신속하게 처리한다. 제안된 방법의 우수성을 검증하기 위하여 실제의 단백질 데이타를 대상으로 성능 평가를 수행하였다. 실험 결과에 의하면, 제안된 방법은 기존의 방법과 비교하여 Exact Match의 경우 6.3배까지, Range Match의 경우 3.3배까지, Wildcard Match의 경우 1.5배까지의 개선된 검색 성능을 가지는 것으로 나타났다.

Homology searching on the primary structure (i.e., amino acid arrangement) of protein sequences is an essential part in predicting the functions and evolutionary histories of proteins. However, proteins distant in an evolutionary history do not conserve amino acid residue arrangements, while preserving their structures. Therefore, homology searching on proteins' secondary structure is quite important in finding out distant homology. In this manuscript, we propose an indexing scheme for efficient approximate searching on the secondary structure of protein sequences which can be easily implemented in RDBMS. Exploiting the concept of clustering and lookahead, the proposed indexing scheme processes three types of secondary structure queries (i.e., exact match, range match, and wildcard match) very quickly. To evaluate the performance of the proposed method, we conducted extensive experiments using a set of actual protein sequences. CSI was proved to be faster than the existing indexing methods up to 6.3 times in exact match, 3.3 times in range match, and 1.5 times in wildcard match, respectively.
