ProNAB: database for binding affinities of protein-nucleic acid complexes and their mutants.

ABSTRACT: Protein-nucleic acid interactions are involved in various biological processes such as gene expression, replication, transcription, translation and packaging. The binding affinities of protein-DNA and protein-RNA complexes are important for elucidating the mechanism of protein-nucleic acid recognition. Although experimental data on binding affinity are reported abundantly in the literature, no well-curated database is currently available for protein-nucleic acid binding affinity. We have developed a database, ProNAB, which contains more than 20 000 experimental data for the binding affinities of protein-DNA and protein-RNA complexes. Each entry provides comprehensive information on sequence and structural features of a protein, nucleic acid and its complex, experimental conditions, thermodynamic parameters such as dissociation constant (Kd), binding free energy (ΔG) and change in binding free energy upon mutation (ΔΔG), and literature information. ProNAB is cross-linked with GenBank, UniProt, PDB, ProThermDB, PROSITE, DisProt and Pubmed. It provides a user-friendly web interface with options for search, display, sorting, visualization, download and upload the data. ProNAB is freely available at https://web.iitm.ac.in/bioinfo2/pronab/ and it has potential applications such as understanding the factors influencing the affinity, development of prediction tools, binding affinity change upon mutation and design complexes with the desired affinity.

Project description:Protein-protein interactions (PPIs) are involved in various biological processes, and underlying mechanism of the interactions plays a crucial role in therapeutics and protein engineering. Most machine learning approaches have been developed for predicting the binding affinity of protein-protein complexes based on structure and functional information. This work aims to predict the binding affinity of heterodimeric protein complexes from sequences only.This work proposes a support vector machine (SVM) based binding affinity classifier, called SVM-BAC, to classify heterodimeric protein complexes based on the prediction of their binding affinity. SVM-BAC identified 14 of 580 sequence descriptors (physicochemical, energetic and conformational properties of the 20 amino acids) to classify 216 heterodimeric protein complexes into low and high binding affinity. SVM-BAC yielded the training accuracy, sensitivity, specificity, AUC and test accuracy of 85.80%, 0.89, 0.83, 0.86 and 83.33%, respectively, better than existing machine learning algorithms. The 14 features and support vector regression were further used to estimate the binding affinities (Pkd) of 200 heterodimeric protein complexes. Prediction performance of a Jackknife test was the correlation coefficient of 0.34 and mean absolute error of 1.4. We further analyze three informative physicochemical properties according to their contribution to prediction performance. Results reveal that the following properties are effective in predicting the binding affinity of heterodimeric protein complexes: apparent partition energy based on buried molar fractions, relations between chemical structure and biological activity in principal component analysis IV, and normalized frequency of beta turn.The proposed sequence-based prediction method SVM-BAC uses an optimal feature selection method to identify 14 informative features to classify and predict binding affinity of heterodimeric protein complexes. The characterization analysis revealed that the average numbers of beta turns and hydrogen bonds at protein-protein interfaces in high binding affinity complexes are more than those in low binding affinity complexes.
