HAMPLE: deciphering TF-DNA binding mechanism in different cellular environments by characterizing higher-order nucleotide dependency.

ABSTRACT:

Motivation

Transcription factor (TF) binds to conservative DNA binding sites in different cellular environments and development stages by physical interaction with interdependent nucleotides. However, systematic computational characterization of the relationship between higher-order nucleotide dependency and TF-DNA binding mechanism in diverse cell types remains challenging.

Results

Here, we propose a novel multi-task learning framework HAMPLE to simultaneously predict TF binding sites (TFBS) in distinct cell types by characterizing higher-order nucleotide dependencies. Specifically, HAMPLE first represents a DNA sequence through three higher-order nucleotide dependencies, including k-mer encoding, DNA shape and histone modification. Then, HAMPLE uses the customized gate control and the channel attention convolutional architecture to further capture cell-type-specific and cell-type-shared DNA binding motifs and epigenomic languages. Finally, HAMPLE exploits the joint loss function to optimize the TFBS prediction for different cell types in an end-to-end manner. Extensive experimental results on seven datasets demonstrate that HAMPLE significantly outperforms the state-of-the-art approaches in terms of auROC. In addition, feature importance analysis illustrates that k-mer encoding, DNA shape, and histone modification have predictive power for TF-DNA binding in different cellular environments and are complementary to each other. Furthermore, ablation study, and interpretable analysis validate the effectiveness of the customized gate control and the channel attention convolutional architecture in characterizing higher-order nucleotide dependencies.

Project description:Color adaptation is a phenomenon in which, after prolonged exposure to a specific color (i.e. adaptation color), the perceived color shifts to approximately the opposite color direction of the adaptation color. Color adaptation is strongly related to sensitivity changes in photoreceptors, such as von Kries adaptation and cone-opponent mechanisms. On the other hand, the perceptual contrast of colors (e.g. perceptual saturation of the red-green direction) decreases after adaptation to a stimulus with spatial and/or temporal color modulation along the color direction. This phenomenon is referred to as color contrast adaptation. Color contrast adaptation has been used to investigate the representation of colors in the visual system. In the present study, we measured color perception after color contrast adaptation to stimuli with temporal color modulations along complicated color loci in a luminance-chromaticity plane. We found that, after the observers adapted to color modulations with different chromaticities at higher, medium, and lower luminance (e.g. temporal alternations among red, green, and red, each at a different luminance level), the chromaticity corresponding to perceptual achromaticity (the achromatic point) shifted to the same color direction as the adaptation chromaticity in each test stimulus luminance. In contrast, this luminance dependence of the achromatic point shift was not observed after adaptation to color modulations with more complex luminance-chromaticity correspondences (e.g. alternating red, green, red, green, and red, at five luminance levels, respectively). In addition, the occurrence or nonoccurrence of the luminance-dependent achromatic point shift was qualitatively predicted using a noncardinal model composed of channels preferring intermediate color directions between the cardinal chromaticity and luminance axes. These results suggest that the noncardinal channels are involved in the luminance-dependent perceived color shift after adaptation.

Project description:BackgroundThe recent outbreak of severe infections with Shiga toxin (Stx) producing Escherichia coli (STEC) serotype O104:H4 highlights the need to understand horizontal gene transfer among E. coli strains, identify novel virulence factors and elucidate their pathogenesis. Quantitative shotgun proteomics can contribute to such objectives, allowing insights into the part of the genome translated into proteins and the connectivity of biochemical pathways and higher order assemblies of proteins at the subcellular level.Methodology/principal findingsWe examined protein profiles in cell lysate fractions of STEC strain 86-24 (serotype O157:H7), following growth in cell culture or bacterial isolation from intestines of infected piglets, in the context of functionally and structurally characterized biochemical pathways of E. coli. Protein solubilization in the presence of Triton X-100, EDTA and high salt was followed by size exclusion chromatography into the approximate M(r) ranges greater than 280 kDa, 280-80 kDa and 80-10 kDa. Peptide mixtures resulting from these and the insoluble fraction were analyzed by quantitative 2D-LC-nESI-MS/MS. Of the 2521 proteins identified at a 1% false discovery rate, representing 47% of all predicted E. coli O157:H7 gene products, the majority of integral membrane proteins were enriched in the high M(r) fraction. Hundreds of proteins were enriched in a M(r) range higher than that predicted for a monomer supporting their participation in protein complexes. The insoluble STEC fraction revealed enrichment of aggregation-prone proteins, including many that are part of large structure/function entities such as the ribosome, cytoskeleton and O-antigen biosynthesis cluster.SignificanceNearly all E. coli O157:H7 proteins encoded by prophage regions were expressed at low abundance levels or not detected. Comparative quantitative analyses of proteins from distinct cell lysate fractions allowed us to associate uncharacterized proteins with membrane attachment, potential participation in stable protein complexes, and susceptibility to aggregation as part of larger structural assemblies.
