LPI-SKF: Predicting lncRNA-Protein Interactions Using Similarity Kernel Fusions.

ABSTRACT: Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) play an important role in serval biological activities, including transcription, splicing, translation, and some other cellular regulation processes. lncRNAs perform their biological functions by interacting with various proteins. The studies on lncRNA-protein interactions are of great value to the understanding of lncRNA functional mechanisms. In this paper, we proposed a novel model to predict potential lncRNA-protein interactions using the SKF (similarity kernel fusion) and LapRLS (Laplacian regularized least squares) algorithms. We named this method the LPI-SKF. Various similarities of both lncRNAs and proteins were integrated into the LPI-SKF. LPI-SKF can be applied in predicting potential interactions involving novel proteins or lncRNAs. We obtained an AUROC (area under receiver operating curve) of 0.909 in a 5-fold cross-validation, which outperforms other state-of-the-art methods. A total of 19 out of the top 20 ranked interaction predictions were verified by existing data, which implied that the LPI-SKF had great potential in discovering unknown lncRNA-protein interactions accurately. All data and codes of this work can be downloaded from a GitHub repository (https://github.com/zyk2118216069/LPI-SKF).

Project description:Identification of the residues in protein-protein interaction sites has a significant impact in problems such as drug discovery. Motivated by the observation that the set of interface residues of a protein tend to be conserved even among remote structural homologs, we introduce PrISE, a family of local structural similarity-based computational methods for predicting protein-protein interface residues.We present a novel representation of the surface residues of a protein in the form of structural elements. Each structural element consists of a central residue and its surface neighbors. The PrISE family of interface prediction methods uses a representation of structural elements that captures the atomic composition and accessible surface area of the residues that make up each structural element. Each of the members of the PrISE methods identifies for each structural element in the query protein, a collection of similar structural elements in its repository of structural elements and weights them according to their similarity with the structural element of the query protein. PrISEL relies on the similarity between structural elements (i.e. local structural similarity). PrISEG relies on the similarity between protein surfaces (i.e. general structural similarity). PrISEC, combines local structural similarity and general structural similarity to predict interface residues. These predictors label the central residue of a structural element in a query protein as an interface residue if a weighted majority of the structural elements that are similar to it are interface residues, and as a non-interface residue otherwise. The results of our experiments using three representative benchmark datasets show that the PrISEC outperforms PrISEL and PrISEG; and that PrISEC is highly competitive with state-of-the-art structure-based methods for predicting protein-protein interface residues. Our comparison of PrISEC with PredUs, a recently developed method for predicting interface residues of a query protein based on the known interface residues of its (global) structural homologs, shows that performance superior or comparable to that of PredUs can be obtained using only local surface structural similarity. PrISEC is available as a Web server at http://prise.cs.iastate.edu/Local surface structural similarity based methods offer a simple, efficient, and effective approach to predict protein-protein interface residues.
