Prediction of Protein-ATP Binding Residues Based on Ensemble of Deep Convolutional Neural Networks and LightGBM Algorithm.

ABSTRACT: Accurately identifying protein-ATP binding residues is important for protein function annotation and drug design. Previous studies have used classic machine-learning algorithms like support vector machine (SVM) and random forest to predict protein-ATP binding residues; however, as new machine-learning techniques are being developed, the prediction performance could be further improved. In this paper, an ensemble predictor that combines deep convolutional neural network and LightGBM with ensemble learning algorithm is proposed. Three subclassifiers have been developed, including a multi-incepResNet-based predictor, a multi-Xception-based predictor, and a LightGBM predictor. The final prediction result is the combination of outputs from three subclassifiers with optimized weight distribution. We examined the performance of our proposed predictor using two datasets: a classic ATP-binding benchmark dataset and a newly proposed ATP-binding dataset. Our predictor achieved area under the curve (AUC) values of 0.925 and 0.902 and Matthews Correlation Coefficient (MCC) values of 0.639 and 0.642, respectively, which are both better than other state-of-art prediction methods.

Project description:BackgroundThe accurate identification of the exon/intron boundaries is critical for the correct annotation of genes with multiple exons. Donor and acceptor splice sites (SS) demarcate these boundaries. Therefore, deriving accurate computational models to predict the SS are useful for functional annotation of genes and genomes, and for finding alternative SS associated with different diseases. Although various models have been proposed for the in silico prediction of SS, improving their accuracy is required for reliable annotation. Moreover, models are often derived and tested using the same genome, providing no evidence of broad application, i.e. to other poorly studied genomes.ResultsWith this in mind, we developed the Splice2Deep models for SS detection. Each model is an ensemble of deep convolutional neural networks. We evaluated the performance of the models based on the ability to detect SS in Homo sapiens, Oryza sativa japonica, Arabidopsis thaliana, Drosophila melanogaster, and Caenorhabditis elegans. Results demonstrate that the models efficiently detect SS in other organisms not considered during the training of the models. Compared to the state-of-the-art tools, Splice2Deep models achieved significantly reduced average error rates of 41.97% and 28.51% for acceptor and donor SS, respectively. Moreover, the Splice2Deep cross-organism validation demonstrates that models correctly identify conserved genomic elements enabling annotation of SS in new genomes by choosing the taxonomically closest model.ConclusionsThe results of our study demonstrated that Splice2Deep both achieved a considerably reduced error rate compared to other state-of-the-art models and the ability to accurately recognize SS in other organisms for which the model was not trained, enabling annotation of poorly studied or newly sequenced genomes. Splice2Deep models are implemented in Python using Keras API; the models and the data are available at https://github.com/SomayahAlbaradei/Splice_Deep.git.

Project description:BACKGROUND:Computational scanning of peptide candidates that bind to a specific major histocompatibility complex (MHC) can speed up the peptide-based vaccine development process and therefore various methods are being actively developed. Recently, machine-learning-based methods have generated successful results by training large amounts of experimental data. However, many machine learning-based methods are generally less sensitive in recognizing locally-clustered interactions, which can synergistically stabilize peptide binding. Deep convolutional neural network (DCNN) is a deep learning method inspired by visual recognition process of animal brain and it is known to be able to capture meaningful local patterns from 2D images. Once the peptide-MHC interactions can be encoded into image-like array(ILA) data, DCNN can be employed to build a predictive model for peptide-MHC binding prediction. In this study, we demonstrated that DCNN is able to not only reliably predict peptide-MHC binding, but also sensitively detect locally-clustered interactions. RESULTS:Nonapeptide-HLA-A and -B binding data were encoded into ILA data. A DCNN, as a pan-specific prediction model, was trained on the ILA data. The DCNN showed higher performance than other prediction tools for the latest benchmark datasets, which consist of 43 datasets for 15 HLA-A alleles and 25 datasets for 10 HLA-B alleles. In particular, the DCNN outperformed other tools for alleles belonging to the HLA-A3 supertype. The F1 scores of the DCNN were 0.86, 0.94, and 0.67 for HLA-A*31:01, HLA-A*03:01, and HLA-A*68:01 alleles, respectively, which were significantly higher than those of other tools. We found that the DCNN was able to recognize locally-clustered interactions that could synergistically stabilize peptide binding. We developed ConvMHC, a web server to provide user-friendly web interfaces for peptide-MHC class I binding predictions using the DCNN. ConvMHC web server can be accessible via http://jumong.kaist.ac.kr:8080/convmhc . CONCLUSIONS:We developed a novel method for peptide-HLA-I binding predictions using DCNN trained on ILA data that encode peptide binding data and demonstrated the reliable performance of the DCNN in nonapeptide binding predictions through the independent evaluation on the latest IEDB benchmark datasets. Our approaches can be applied to characterize locally-clustered patterns in molecular interactions, such as protein/DNA, protein/RNA, and drug/protein interactions.

Project description:Accurately detecting and examining lung nodules early is key in diagnosing lung cancers and thus one of the best ways to prevent lung cancer deaths. Radiologists spend countless hours detecting small spherical-shaped nodules in computed tomography (CT) images. In addition, even after detecting nodule candidates, a considerable amount of effort and time is required for them to determine whether they are real nodules. The aim of this paper is to introduce a high performance nodule classification method that uses three dimensional deep convolutional neural networks (DCNNs) and an ensemble method to distinguish nodules between non-nodules. In this paper, we use a three dimensional deep convolutional neural network (3D DCNN) with shortcut connections and a 3D DCNN with dense connections for lung nodule classification. The shortcut connections and dense connections successfully alleviate the gradient vanishing problem by allowing the gradient to pass quickly and directly. Connections help deep structured networks to obtain general as well as distinctive features of lung nodules. Moreover, we increased the dimension of DCNNs from two to three to capture 3D features. Compared with shallow 3D CNNs used in previous studies, deep 3D CNNs more effectively capture the features of spherical-shaped nodules. In addition, we use an alternative ensemble method called the checkpoint ensemble method to boost performance. The performance of our nodule classification method is compared with that of the state-of-the-art methods which were used in the LUng Nodule Analysis 2016 Challenge. Our method achieves higher competition performance metric (CPM) scores than the state-of-the-art methods using deep learning. In the experimental setup ESB-ALL, the 3D DCNN with shortcut connections and the 3D DCNN with dense connections using the checkpoint ensemble method achieved the highest CPM score of 0.910. The result demonstrates that our method of using a 3D DCNN with shortcut connections, a 3D DCNN with dense connections, and the checkpoint ensemble method is effective for capturing 3D features of nodules and distinguishing nodules between non-nodules.
