SPOT-Seq-RNA: predicting protein-RNA complex structure and RNA-binding function by fold recognition and binding affinity prediction.

ABSTRACT: RNA-binding proteins (RBPs) play key roles in RNA metabolism and post-transcriptional regulation. Computational methods have been developed separately for prediction of RBPs and RNA-binding residues by machine-learning techniques and prediction of protein-RNA complex structures by rigid or semiflexible structure-to-structure docking. Here, we describe a template-based technique called SPOT-Seq-RNA that integrates prediction of RBPs, RNA-binding residues, and protein-RNA complex structures into a single package. This integration is achieved by combining template-based structure-prediction software, SPARKS X, with binding affinity prediction software, DRNA. This tool yields reasonable sensitivity (46 %) and high precision (84 %) for an independent test set of 215 RBPs and 5,766 non-RBPs. SPOT-Seq-RNA is computationally efficient for genome-scale prediction of RBPs and protein-RNA complex structures. Its application to human genome study has revealed a similar sensitivity and ability to uncover hundreds of novel RBPs beyond simple homology. The online server and downloadable version of SPOT-Seq-RNA are available at http://sparks-lab.org/server/SPOT-Seq-RNA/.

Project description:MotivationVast majority of human genetic disorders are associated with mutations that affect protein-protein interactions by altering wild-type binding affinity. Therefore, it is extremely important to assess the effect of mutations on protein-protein binding free energy to assist the development of therapeutic solutions. Currently, the most popular approaches use structural information to deliver the predictions, which precludes them to be applicable on genome-scale investigations. Indeed, with the progress of genomic sequencing, researchers are frequently dealing with assessing effect of mutations for which there is no structure available.ResultsHere, we report a Gradient Boosting Decision Tree machine learning algorithm, the SAAMBE-SEQ, which is completely sequence-based and does not require structural information at all. SAAMBE-SEQ utilizes 80 features representing evolutionary information, sequence-based features and change of physical properties upon mutation at the mutation site. The approach is shown to achieve Pearson correlation coefficient (PCC) of 0.83 in 5-fold cross validation in a benchmarking test against experimentally determined binding free energy change (ΔΔG). Further, a blind test (no-STRUC) is compiled collecting experimental ΔΔG upon mutation for protein complexes for which structure is not available and used to benchmark SAAMBE-SEQ resulting in PCC in the range of 0.37-0.46. The accuracy of SAAMBE-SEQ method is found to be either better or comparable to most advanced structure-based methods. SAAMBE-SEQ is very fast, available as webserver and stand-alone code, and indeed utilizes only sequence information, and thus it is applicable for genome-scale investigations to study the effect of mutations on protein-protein interactions.Availability and implementationSAAMBE-SEQ is available at http://compbio.clemson.edu/saambe_webserver/indexSEQ.php#started.Supplementary informationSupplementary data are available at Bioinformatics online.
