Improved sequence-based prediction of interaction sites in α-helical transmembrane proteins by deep learning.

ABSTRACT: Interactions between transmembrane (TM) proteins are fundamental for a wide spectrum of cellular functions, but precise molecular details of these interactions remain largely unknown due to the scarcity of experimentally determined three-dimensional complex structures. Computational techniques are therefore required for a large-scale annotation of interaction sites in TM proteins. Here, we present a novel deep-learning approach, DeepTMInter, for sequence-based prediction of interaction sites in α-helical TM proteins based on their topological, physiochemical, and evolutionary properties. Using a combination of ultra-deep residual neural networks with a stacked generalization ensemble technique DeepTMInter significantly outperforms existing methods, achieving the AUC/AUCPR values of 0.689/0.598. Across the main functional families of human transmembrane proteins, the percentage of amino acid sites predicted to be involved in interactions typically ranges between 10% and 25%, and up to 30% in ion channels. DeepTMInter is available as a standalone package at https://github.com/2003100127/deeptminter. The training and benchmarking datasets are available at https://data.mendeley.com/datasets/2t8kgwzp35.

Improving the topology prediction of α-helical transmembrane proteins with deep transfer learning.

Project description:Transmembrane proteins (TMPs) are essential for cell recognition and communication, and they serve as important drug targets in humans. Transmembrane proteins' 3D structures are critical for determining their functions and drug design but are hard to determine even by experimental methods. Although some computational methods have been developed to predict transmembrane helices (TMHs) and orientation, there is still room for improvement. Considering that the pre-trained language model can make full use of massive unlabeled protein sequences to obtain latent feature representation for TMPs and reduce the dependence on evolutionary information, we proposed DeepTMpred, which used pre-trained self-supervised language models called ESM, convolutional neural networks, attentive neural network and conditional random fields for alpha-TMP topology prediction. Compared with the current state-of-the-art tools on a non-redundant dataset of TMPs, DeepTMpred demonstrated superior predictive performance in most evaluation metrics, especially at the TMH level. Furthermore, DeepTMpred could also obtain reliable prediction results for TMPs without much evolutionary feature in a few seconds. A tutorial on how to use DeepTMpred can be found in the colab notebook (https://colab.research.google.com/github/ISYSLAB-HUST/DeepTMpred/blob/master/notebook/test.ipynb).

TMPSS: A Deep Learning-Based Predictor for Secondary Structure and Topology Structure Prediction of Alpha-Helical Transmembrane Proteins.

Project description:Alpha transmembrane proteins (αTMPs) profoundly affect many critical biological processes and are major drug targets due to their pivotal protein functions. At present, even though the non-transmembrane secondary structures are highly relevant to the biological functions of αTMPs along with their transmembrane structures, they have not been unified to be studied yet. In this study, we present a novel computational method, TMPSS, to predict the secondary structures in non-transmembrane parts and the topology structures in transmembrane parts of αTMPs. TMPSS applied a Convolutional Neural Network (CNN), combined with an attention-enhanced Bidirectional Long Short-Term Memory (BiLSTM) network, to extract the local contexts and long-distance interdependencies from primary sequences. In addition, a multi-task learning strategy was used to predict the secondary structures and the transmembrane helixes. TMPSS was thoroughly trained and tested against a non-redundant independent dataset, where the Q3 secondary structure prediction accuracy achieved 78% in the non-transmembrane region, and the accuracy of the transmembrane region prediction achieved 90%. In sum, our method showcased a unified model for predicting the secondary structure and topology structure of αTMPs by only utilizing features generated from primary sequences and provided a steady and fast prediction, which promisingly improves the structural studies on αTMPs.

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.

Improved Prediction of Smoking Status via Isoform-Aware RNA-seq Deep Learning Models

Project description:Predictive models based on gene expression are already a part of medical decision making for selected situations such as early breast cancer treatment. Most of these models are based on measures that do not capture critical aspects of gene splicing, butwith RNA sequencing it is possible to capture some of these aspects of alternative splicing and use them to improve clinical predictions. Building on previous models to predict cigarette smoking status, we show that measures of alternative splicing significantly improve the accuracy of these predictive models.

Substitution rates in alpha-helical transmembrane proteins.

Project description:It has been shown previously that some membrane proteins have a conserved core of amino acid residues. This idea not only serves to orient helices during model building exercises but may also provide insight into the structural role of residues mediating helix-helix interactions. Using experimentally determined high-resolution structures of alpha-helical transmembrane proteins we show that, of the residues within the hydrophobic transmembrane spans, the residues at lipid and subunit interfaces are more evolutionarily variable than those within the lipid-inaccessible core of a polypeptide's transmembrane domain. This supports the idea that helix-helix interactions within the same polypeptide chain and those at the interface between different polypeptide chains may arise in distinct ways. To show this, we use a new method to estimate the substitution rate of an amino acid residue given an alignment and phylogenetic tree of closely related proteins. This method gives better sensitivity in the otherwise-conserved transmembrane domains than a conventional similarity analysis and is relatively insensitive to the sequences used.

DeepPhos: prediction of protein phosphorylation sites with deep learning.

Project description:MotivationPhosphorylation is the most studied post-translational modification, which is crucial for multiple biological processes. Recently, many efforts have been taken to develop computational predictors for phosphorylation site prediction, but most of them are based on feature selection and discriminative classification. Thus, it is useful to develop a novel and highly accurate predictor that can unveil intricate patterns automatically for protein phosphorylation sites.ResultsIn this study we present DeepPhos, a novel deep learning architecture for prediction of protein phosphorylation. Unlike multi-layer convolutional neural networks, DeepPhos consists of densely connected convolutional neuron network blocks which can capture multiple representations of sequences to make final phosphorylation prediction by intra block concatenation layers and inter block concatenation layers. DeepPhos can also be used for kinase-specific prediction varying from group, family, subfamily and individual kinase level. The experimental results demonstrated that DeepPhos outperforms competitive predictors in general and kinase-specific phosphorylation site prediction.Availability and implementationThe source code of DeepPhos is publicly deposited at https://github.com/USTCHIlab/DeepPhos.Supplementary informationSupplementary data are available at Bioinformatics online.

Deep Learning for Improved Risk Prediction in Surgical Outcomes.

Project description:The Norwood surgical procedure restores functional systemic circulation in neonatal patients with single ventricle congenital heart defects, but this complex procedure carries a high mortality rate. In this study we address the need to provide an accurate patient specific risk prediction for one-year postoperative mortality or cardiac transplantation and prolonged length of hospital stay with the purpose of assisting clinicians and patients' families in the preoperative decision making process. Currently available risk prediction models either do not provide patient specific risk factors or only predict in-hospital mortality rates. We apply machine learning models to predict and calculate individual patient risk for mortality and prolonged length of stay using the Pediatric Heart Network Single Ventricle Reconstruction trial dataset. We applied a Markov Chain Monte-Carlo simulation method to impute missing data and then fed the selected variables to multiple machine learning models. The individual risk of mortality or cardiac transplantation calculation produced by our deep neural network model demonstrated 89?±?4% accuracy and 0.95?±?0.02 area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUROC). The C-statistics results for prediction of prolonged length of stay were 85?±?3% accuracy and AUROC 0.94?±?0.04. These predictive models and calculator may help to inform clinical and organizational decision making.

Protein Interaction Interface Region Prediction by Geometric Deep Learning.

Project description:Protein-protein interactions drive wide-ranging molecular processes, and characterizing at the atomic level how proteins interact (beyond just the fact that they interact) can provide key insights into understanding and controlling this machinery. Unfortunately, experimental determination of three-dimensional protein complex structures remains difficult and does not scale to the increasingly large sets of proteins whose interactions are of interest. Computational methods are thus required to meet the demands of large-scale, high-throughput prediction of how proteins interact, but unfortunately both physical modeling and machine learning methods suffer from poor precision and/or recall. In order to improve performance in predicting protein interaction interfaces, we leverage the best properties of both data- and physics-driven methods to develop a unified Geometric Deep Neural Network, "PInet" (Protein Interface Network). PInet consumes pairs of point clouds encoding the structures of two partner proteins, in order to predict their structural regions mediating interaction. To make such predictions, PInet learns and utilizes models capturing both geometrical and physicochemical molecular surface complementarity. In application to a set of benchmarks, PInet simultaneously predicts the interface regions on both interacting proteins, achieving performance equivalent to or even much better than the state-of-the-art predictor for each dataset. Furthermore, since PInet is based on joint segmentation of a representation of a protein surfaces, its predictions are meaningful in terms of the underlying physical complementarity driving molecular recognition. PInet scripts and models are available at https://github.com/FTD007/PInet. Supplementary data are available at Bioinformatics online.

Amyloid-like Fibrils from an α-Helical Transmembrane Protein.

Project description:The propensity to misfold and self-assemble into stable aggregates is increasingly being recognized as a common feature of protein molecules. Our understanding of this phenomenon and of its links with human disease has improved substantially over the past two decades. Studies thus far, however, have been almost exclusively focused on cytosolic proteins, resulting in a lack of detailed information about the misfolding and aggregation of membrane proteins. As a consequence, although such proteins make up approximately 30% of the human proteome and have high propensities to aggregate, relatively little is known about the biophysical nature of their assemblies. To shed light on this issue, we have studied as a model system an archetypical representative of the ubiquitous major facilitator superfamily, the Escherichia coli lactose permease (LacY). By using a combination of established indicators of cross-β structure and morphology, including the amyloid diagnostic dye thioflavin-T, circular dichroism spectroscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, X-ray fiber diffraction, and transmission electron microscopy, we show that LacY can form amyloid-like fibrils under destabilizing conditions. These results indicate that transmembrane α-helical proteins, similarly to cytosolic proteins, have the ability to adopt this generic state.
