Unified rational protein engineering with sequence-based deep representation learning.

ABSTRACT: Rational protein engineering requires a holistic understanding of protein function. Here, we apply deep learning to unlabeled amino-acid sequences to distill the fundamental features of a protein into a statistical representation that is semantically rich and structurally, evolutionarily and biophysically grounded. We show that the simplest models built on top of this unified representation (UniRep) are broadly applicable and generalize to unseen regions of sequence space. Our data-driven approach predicts the stability of natural and de novo designed proteins, and the quantitative function of molecularly diverse mutants, competitively with the state-of-the-art methods. UniRep further enables two orders of magnitude efficiency improvement in a protein engineering task. UniRep is a versatile summary of fundamental protein features that can be applied across protein engineering informatics.

Predicting protein-protein interactions through sequence-based deep learning.

Project description:Motivation:High-throughput experimental techniques have produced a large amount of protein-protein interaction (PPI) data, but their coverage is still low and the PPI data is also very noisy. Computational prediction of PPIs can be used to discover new PPIs and identify errors in the experimental PPI data. Results:We present a novel deep learning framework, DPPI, to model and predict PPIs from sequence information alone. Our model efficiently applies a deep, Siamese-like convolutional neural network combined with random projection and data augmentation to predict PPIs, leveraging existing high-quality experimental PPI data and evolutionary information of a protein pair under prediction. Our experimental results show that DPPI outperforms the state-of-the-art methods on several benchmarks in terms of area under precision-recall curve (auPR), and computationally is more efficient. We also show that DPPI is able to predict homodimeric interactions where other methods fail to work accurately, and the effectiveness of DPPI in specific applications such as predicting cytokine-receptor binding affinities.

Robust deep learning-based protein sequence design using ProteinMPNN.

Project description:Although deep learning has revolutionized protein structure prediction, almost all experimentally characterized de novo protein designs have been generated using physically based approaches such as Rosetta. Here, we describe a deep learning-based protein sequence design method, ProteinMPNN, that has outstanding performance in both in silico and experimental tests. On native protein backbones, ProteinMPNN has a sequence recovery of 52.4% compared with 32.9% for Rosetta. The amino acid sequence at different positions can be coupled between single or multiple chains, enabling application to a wide range of current protein design challenges. We demonstrate the broad utility and high accuracy of ProteinMPNN using x-ray crystallography, cryo-electron microscopy, and functional studies by rescuing previously failed designs, which were made using Rosetta or AlphaFold, of protein monomers, cyclic homo-oligomers, tetrahedral nanoparticles, and target-binding proteins.

Sequence-based prediction of protein protein interaction using a deep-learning algorithm.

Project description:BackgroundProtein-protein interactions (PPIs) are critical for many biological processes. It is therefore important to develop accurate high-throughput methods for identifying PPI to better understand protein function, disease occurrence, and therapy design. Though various computational methods for predicting PPI have been developed, their robustness for prediction with external datasets is unknown. Deep-learning algorithms have achieved successful results in diverse areas, but their effectiveness for PPI prediction has not been tested.ResultsWe used a stacked autoencoder, a type of deep-learning algorithm, to study the sequence-based PPI prediction. The best model achieved an average accuracy of 97.19% with 10-fold cross-validation. The prediction accuracies for various external datasets ranged from 87.99% to 99.21%, which are superior to those achieved with previous methods.ConclusionsTo our knowledge, this research is the first to apply a deep-learning algorithm to sequence-based PPI prediction, and the results demonstrate its potential in this field.

Mutation effect estimation on protein-protein interactions using deep contextualized representation learning.

Project description:The functional impact of protein mutations is reflected on the alteration of conformation and thermodynamics of protein-protein interactions (PPIs). Quantifying the changes of two interacting proteins upon mutations is commonly carried out by computational approaches. Hence, extensive research efforts have been put to the extraction of energetic or structural features on proteins, followed by statistical learning methods to estimate the effects of mutations on PPI properties. Nonetheless, such features require extensive human labors and expert knowledge to obtain, and have limited abilities to reflect point mutations. We present an end-to-end deep learning framework, MuPIPR (Mutation Effects in Protein-protein Interaction PRediction Using Contextualized Representations), to estimate the effects of mutations on PPIs. MuPIPR incorporates a contextualized representation mechanism of amino acids to propagate the effects of a point mutation to surrounding amino acid representations, therefore amplifying the subtle change in a long protein sequence. On top of that, MuPIPR leverages a Siamese residual recurrent convolutional neural encoder to encode a wild-type protein pair and its mutation pair. Multi-layer perceptron regressors are applied to the protein pair representations to predict the quantifiable changes of PPI properties upon mutations. Experimental evaluations show that, with only sequence information, MuPIPR outperforms various state-of-the-art systems on estimating the changes of binding affinity for SKEMPI v1, and offers comparable performance on SKEMPI v2. Meanwhile, MuPIPR also demonstrates state-of-the-art performance on estimating the changes of buried surface areas. The software implementation is available at https://github.com/guangyu-zhou/MuPIPR.

Deep learning program to predict protein functions based on sequence information.

Project description:Deep learning technologies have been adopted to predict the functions of newly identified proteins in silico. However, most current models are not suitable for poorly characterized proteins because they require diverse information on target proteins. We designed a binary classification deep learning program requiring only sequence information. This program was named 'FUTUSA' (function teller using sequence alone). It applied sequence segmentation during the sequence feature extraction process, by a convolution neural network, to train the regional sequence patterns and their relationship. This segmentation process improved the predictive performance by 49% than the full-length process. Compared with a baseline method, our approach achieved higher performance in predicting oxidoreductase activity. In addition, FUTUSA also showed dramatic performance in predicting acetyltransferase and demethylase activities. Next, we tested the possibility that FUTUSA can predict the functional consequence of point mutation. After trained for monooxygenase activity, FUTUSA successfully predicted the impact of point mutations on phenylalanine hydroxylase, which is responsible for an inherited metabolic disease PKU. This deep-learning program can be used as the first-step tool for characterizing newly identified or poorly studied proteins.•We proposed new deep learning program to predict protein functions in silico that requires nothing more than the protein sequence information.•Due to application of sequence segmentation, the efficiency of prediction is improved.•This method makes prediction of the clinical impact of mutations or polymorphisms possible.

DeepSol: a deep learning framework for sequence-based protein solubility prediction.

Project description:MotivationProtein solubility plays a vital role in pharmaceutical research and production yield. For a given protein, the extent of its solubility can represent the quality of its function, and is ultimately defined by its sequence. Thus, it is imperative to develop novel, highly accurate in silico sequence-based protein solubility predictors. In this work we propose, DeepSol, a novel Deep Learning-based protein solubility predictor. The backbone of our framework is a convolutional neural network that exploits k-mer structure and additional sequence and structural features extracted from the protein sequence.ResultsDeepSol outperformed all known sequence-based state-of-the-art solubility prediction methods and attained an accuracy of 0.77 and Matthew's correlation coefficient of 0.55. The superior prediction accuracy of DeepSol allows to screen for sequences with enhanced production capacity and can more reliably predict solubility of novel proteins.Availability and implementationDeepSol's best performing models and results are publicly deposited at https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.1162886 (Khurana and Mall, 2018).Supplementary informationSupplementary data are available at Bioinformatics online.

A miRNA Target Prediction Model Based on Distributed Representation Learning and Deep Learning

Project description:MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are a kind of noncoding RNA, which plays an essential role in gene regulation by binding to messenger RNAs (mRNAs). Accurate and rapid identification of miRNA target genes is helpful to reveal the mechanism of transcriptome regulation, which is of great significance for the study of cancer and other diseases. Many bioinformatics methods have been proposed to solve this problem, but the previous research did not further study the encoding of the nucleotide sequence. In this paper, we developed a novel method combining word embedding and deep learning for human miRNA targets at the site-level prediction, which is inspired by the similarity between natural language and biological sequences. First, the word2vec model was used to mine the distribution representation of miRNAs and mRNAs. Then, the embedding is extracted automatically via the stacked bidirectional long short-term memory (BiLSTM) network. By testing, our method can effectively improve the accuracy, sensitivity, specificity, and F-measure of other methods. Through our research, it is proved that the distributed representation can improve the accuracy of the deep learning model and better solve the miRNA target site prediction problem.

DeepMicro: deep representation learning for disease prediction based on microbiome data.

Project description:Human microbiota plays a key role in human health and growing evidence supports the potential use of microbiome as a predictor of various diseases. However, the high-dimensionality of microbiome data, often in the order of hundreds of thousands, yet low sample sizes, poses great challenge for machine learning-based prediction algorithms. This imbalance induces the data to be highly sparse, preventing from learning a better prediction model. Also, there has been little work on deep learning applications to microbiome data with a rigorous evaluation scheme. To address these challenges, we propose DeepMicro, a deep representation learning framework allowing for an effective representation of microbiome profiles. DeepMicro successfully transforms high-dimensional microbiome data into a robust low-dimensional representation using various autoencoders and applies machine learning classification algorithms on the learned representation. In disease prediction, DeepMicro outperforms the current best approaches based on the strain-level marker profile in five different datasets. In addition, by significantly reducing the dimensionality of the marker profile, DeepMicro accelerates the model training and hyperparameter optimization procedure with 8X-30X speedup over the basic approach.

Multi-indicator comparative evaluation for deep learning-based protein sequence design methods.

Project description:MotivationProteins found in nature represent only a fraction of the vast space of possible proteins. Protein design presents an opportunity to explore and expand this protein landscape. Within protein design, protein sequence design plays a crucial role, and numerous successful methods have been developed. Notably, deep learning-based protein sequence design methods have experienced significant advancements in recent years. However, a comprehensive and systematic comparison and evaluation of these methods have been lacking, with indicators provided by different methods often inconsistent or lacking effectiveness.ResultsTo address this gap, we have designed a diverse set of indicators that cover several important aspects, including sequence recovery, diversity, root-mean-square deviation of protein structure, secondary structure, and the distribution of polar and nonpolar amino acids. In our evaluation, we have employed an improved weighted inferiority-superiority distance method to comprehensively assess the performance of eight widely used deep learning-based protein sequence design methods. Our evaluation not only provides rankings of these methods but also offers optimization suggestions by analyzing the strengths and weaknesses of each method. Furthermore, we have developed a method to select the best temperature parameter and proposed solutions for the common issue of designing sequences with consecutive repetitive amino acids, which is often encountered in protein design methods. These findings can greatly assist users in selecting suitable protein sequence design methods. Overall, our work contributes to the field of protein sequence design by providing a comprehensive evaluation system and optimization suggestions for different methods.
