GSScore: a novel Graphormer-based shell-like scoring method for protein-ligand docking.

ABSTRACT: Protein-ligand interactions (PLIs) are essential for cellular activities and drug discovery. But due to the complexity and high cost of experimental methods, there is a great demand for computational approaches to recognize PLI patterns, such as protein-ligand docking. In recent years, more and more models based on machine learning have been developed to directly predict the root mean square deviation (RMSD) of a ligand docking pose with reference to its native binding pose. However, new scoring methods are pressingly needed in methodology for more accurate RMSD prediction. We present a new deep learning-based scoring method for RMSD prediction of protein-ligand docking poses based on a Graphormer method and Shell-like graph architecture, named GSScore. To recognize near-native conformations from a set of poses, GSScore takes atoms as nodes and then establishes the docking interface of protein-ligand into multiple bipartite graphs within different shell ranges. Benefiting from the Graphormer and Shell-like graph architecture, GSScore can effectively capture the subtle differences between energetically favorable near-native conformations and unfavorable non-native poses without extra information. GSScore was extensively evaluated on diverse test sets including a subset of PDBBind version 2019, CASF2016 as well as DUD-E, and obtained significant improvements over existing methods in terms of RMSE, $R$ (Pearson correlation coefficient), Spearman correlation coefficient and Docking power.

Project description:MotivationProtein complexes play critical roles in many aspects of biological functions. Three-dimensional (3D) structures of protein complexes are critical for gaining insights into structural bases of interactions and their roles in the biomolecular pathways that orchestrate key cellular processes. Because of the expense and effort associated with experimental determinations of 3D protein complex structures, computational docking has evolved as a valuable tool to predict 3D structures of biomolecular complexes. Despite recent progress, reliably distinguishing near-native docking conformations from a large number of candidate conformations, the so-called scoring problem, remains a major challenge.ResultsHere we present iScore, a novel approach to scoring docked conformations that combines HADDOCK energy terms with a score obtained using a graph representation of the protein-protein interfaces and a measure of evolutionary conservation. It achieves a scoring performance competitive with, or superior to, that of state-of-the-art scoring functions on two independent datasets: (i) Docking software-specific models and (ii) the CAPRI score set generated by a wide variety of docking approaches (i.e. docking software-non-specific). iScore ranks among the top scoring approaches on the CAPRI score set (13 targets) when compared with the 37 scoring groups in CAPRI. The results demonstrate the utility of combining evolutionary, topological and energetic information for scoring docked conformations. This work represents the first successful demonstration of graph kernels to protein interfaces for effective discrimination of near-native and non-native conformations of protein complexes.Availability and implementationThe iScore code is freely available from Github: https://github.com/DeepRank/iScore (DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.2630567).
