Clustering Protein Binding Pockets and Identifying Potential Drug Interactions: A Novel Ligand-Based Featurization Method.

ABSTRACT: Protein-ligand interactions are essential to drug discovery and drug development efforts. Desirable on-target or multitarget interactions are the first step in finding an effective therapeutic, while undesirable off-target interactions are the first step in assessing safety. In this work, we introduce a novel ligand-based featurization and mapping of human protein pockets to identify closely related protein targets and to project novel drugs into a hybrid protein-ligand feature space to identify their likely protein interactions. Using structure-based template matches from PDB, protein pockets are featured by the ligands that bind to their best co-complex template matches. The simplicity and interpretability of this approach provide a granular characterization of the human proteome at the protein-pocket level instead of the traditional protein-level characterization by family, function, or pathway. We demonstrate the power of this featurization method by clustering a subset of the human proteome and evaluating the predicted cluster associations of over 7000 compounds.

Project description:Drug-target binding affinity prediction plays a key role in the early stage of drug discovery. Numerous experimental and data-driven approaches have been developed for predicting drug-target binding affinity. However, experimental methods highly rely on the limited structural-related information from drug-target pairs, domain knowledge, and time-consuming assays. On the other hand, learning-based methods have shown an acceptable prediction performance. However, most of them utilize several simple and complex types of proteins and drug compounds data, ranging from the protein sequences to the topology of a graph representation of drug compounds, employing multiple deep neural networks for encoding and feature extraction, and so, leads to the computational overheads. In this study, we propose a unified measure for protein sequence encoding, named BiComp, which provides compression-based and evolutionary-related features from the protein sequences. Specifically, we employ Normalized Compression Distance and Smith-Waterman measures for capturing complementary information from the algorithmic information theory and biological domains, respectively. We utilize the proposed measure to encode the input proteins feeding a new deep neural network-based method for drug-target binding affinity prediction, named BiComp-DTA. BiComp-DTA is evaluated utilizing four benchmark datasets for drug-target binding affinity prediction. Compared to the state-of-the-art methods, which employ complex models for protein encoding and feature extraction, BiComp-DTA provides superior efficiency in terms of accuracy, runtime, and the number of trainable parameters. The latter achievement facilitates execution of BiComp-DTA on a normal desktop computer in a fast fashion. As a comparative study, we evaluate BiComp's efficiency against its components for drug-target binding affinity prediction. The results have shown superior accuracy of BiComp due to the orthogonality and complementary nature of Smith-Waterman and Normalized Compression Distance measures for protein sequences. Such a protein sequence encoding provides efficient representation with no need for multiple sources of information, deep domain knowledge, and complex neural networks.
