: Protein-related interaction prediction is critical to understanding life processes, biological functions, and mechanisms of drug action. Experimental methods used to determine proteinrelated interactions have always been costly and inefficient. In recent years, advances in biological and medical technology have provided us with explosive biological and physiological data, and deep learning-based algorithms have shown great promise in extracting features and learning patterns from complex data. At present, deep learning in protein research has emerged. In this review, we provide an introductory overview of the deep neural network theory and its unique properties. Mainly focused on the application of this technology in protein-related interactions prediction over the past five years, including protein-protein interactions prediction, protein-RNA\DNA, Protein– drug interactions prediction, and others. Finally, we discuss some of the challenges that deep learning currently faces.

Abstract Protein lysine acetylation regulation is an important molecular mechanism for regulating cellular processes and plays critical physiological and pathological roles in cancers and diseases. Although massive acetylation sites have been identified through experimental identification and high-throughput proteomics techniques, their enzyme-specific regulation remains largely unknown. Here, we developed the deep learning-based protein lysine acetylation modification prediction (Deep-PLA) software for histone acetyltransferase (HAT)/histone deacetylase (HDAC)-specific acetylation prediction based on deep learning. Experimentally identified substrates and sites of several HATs and HDACs were curated from the literature to generate enzyme-specific data sets. We integrated various protein sequence features with deep neural network and optimized the hyperparameters with particle swarm optimization, which achieved satisfactory performance. Through comparisons based on cross-validations and testing data sets, the model outperformed previous studies. Meanwhile, we found that protein–protein interactions could enrich enzyme-specific acetylation regulatory relations and visualized this information in the Deep-PLA web server. Furthermore, a cross-cancer analysis of acetylation-associated mutations revealed that acetylation regulation was intensively disrupted by mutations in cancers and heavily implicated in the regulation of cancer signaling. These prediction and analysis results might provide helpful information to reveal the regulatory mechanism of protein acetylation in various biological processes to promote the research on prognosis and treatment of cancers. Therefore, the Deep-PLA predictor and protein acetylation interaction networks could provide helpful information for studying the regulation of protein acetylation.

AbstractRecent development of deep-learning methods has led to a breakthrough in the prediction accuracy of 3-dimensional protein structures. Extending these methods to protein pairs is expected to allow large-scale detection of protein-protein interactions and modeling protein complexes at the proteome level. We applied RoseTTAFold and AlphaFold2, two of the latest deep-learning methods for structure predictions, to analyze coevolution of human proteins residing in mitochondria, an organelle of vital importance in many cellular processes including energy production, metabolism, cell death, and antiviral response. Variations in mitochondrial proteins have been linked to a plethora of human diseases and genetic conditions. RoseTTAFold, with high computational speed, was used to predict the coevolution of about 95% of mitochondrial protein pairs. Top-ranked pairs were further subject to the modeling of the complex structures by AlphaFold2, which also produced contact probability with high precision and in many cases consistent with RoseTTAFold. Most of the top ranked pairs with high contact probability were supported by known protein-protein interactions and/or similarities to experimental structural complexes. For high-scoring pairs without experimental complex structures, our coevolution analyses and structural models shed light on the details of their interfaces, including CHCHD4-AIFM1, MTERF3-TRUB2, FMC1-ATPAF2, ECSIT-NDUFAF1 and COQ7-COQ9, among others. We also identified novel PPIs (PYURF-NDUFAF5, LYRM1-MTRF1L and COA8-COX10) for several proteins without experimentally characterized interaction partners, leading to predictions of their molecular functions and the biological processes they are involved in.

AbstractUncovering signaling links or cascades among proteins that potentially regulate tumor development and drug response is one of the most critical and challenging tasks in cancer molecular biology. Inhibition of the targets on the core signaling cascades can be effective as novel cancer treatment regimens. However, signaling cascades inference remains an open problem, and there is a lack of effective computational models. The widely used gene co-expression network (no-direct signaling cascades) and shortest-path based protein-protein interaction (PPI) network analysis (with too many interactions, and did not consider the sparsity of signaling cascades) were not specifically designed to predict the direct and sparse signaling cascades. To resolve the challenges, we proposed a novel deep learning model, deepSignalingLinkNet, to predict signaling cascades by integrating transcriptomics data and copy number data of a large set of cancer samples with the protein-protein interactions (PPIs) via a novel deep graph neural network model. Different from the existing models, the proposed deep learning model was trained using the curated KEGG signaling pathways to identify the informative omics and PPI topology features in the data-driven manner to predict the potential signaling cascades. The validation results indicated the feasibility of signaling cascade prediction using the proposed deep learning models. Moreover, the trained model can potentially predict the signaling cascades among the new proteins by transferring the learned patterns on the curated signaling pathways.

Structure Information

Abstract Protein is the primary building block of living organisms. It interacts with other proteins and is then involved in various biological processes. Protein–protein interactions (PPIs) help in predicting and hence help in understanding the functionality of the proteins, causes and growth of diseases, and designing new drugs. However, there is a vast gap between the available protein sequences and the identification of protein–protein interactions. To bridge this gap, researchers proposed several computational methods to reveal the interactions between proteins. These methods merely depend on sequence-based information of proteins. With the advancement of technology, different types of information related to proteins are available such as 3D structure information. Nowadays, deep learning techniques are adopted successfully in various domains, including bioinformatics. So, current work focuses on the utilization of different modalities, such as 3D structures and sequence-based information of proteins, and deep learning algorithms to predict PPIs. The proposed approach is divided into several phases. We first get several illustrations of proteins using their 3D coordinates information, and three attributes, such as hydropathy index, isoelectric point, and charge of amino acids. Amino acids are the building blocks of proteins. A pre-trained ResNet50 model, a subclass of a convolutional neural network, is utilized to extract features from these representations of proteins. Autocovariance and conjoint triad are two widely used sequence-based methods to encode proteins, which are used here as another modality of protein sequences. A stacked autoencoder is utilized to get the compact form of sequence-based information. Finally, the features obtained from different modalities are concatenated in pairs and fed into the classifier to predict labels for protein pairs. We have experimented on the human PPIs dataset and Saccharomyces cerevisiae PPIs dataset and compared our results with the state-of-the-art deep-learning-based classifiers. The results achieved by the proposed method are superior to those obtained by the existing methods. Extensive experimentations on different datasets indicate that our approach to learning and combining features from two different modalities is useful in PPI prediction.

Abstract Motivation Protein–protein interactions (PPIs) play important roles in many biological processes. Conventional biological experiments for identifying PPI sites are costly and time-consuming. Thus, many computational approaches have been proposed to predict PPI sites. Existing computational methods usually use local contextual features to predict PPI sites. Actually, global features of protein sequences are critical for PPI site prediction. Results A new end-to-end deep learning framework, named DeepPPISP, through combining local contextual and global sequence features, is proposed for PPI site prediction. For local contextual features, we use a sliding window to capture features of neighbors of a target amino acid as in previous studies. For global sequence features, a text convolutional neural network is applied to extract features from the whole protein sequence. Then the local contextual and global sequence features are combined to predict PPI sites. By integrating local contextual and global sequence features, DeepPPISP achieves the state-of-the-art performance, which is better than the other competing methods. In order to investigate if global sequence features are helpful in our deep learning model, we remove or change some components in DeepPPISP. Detailed analyses show that global sequence features play important roles in DeepPPISP.

Protein–protein interactions are closely relevant to protein function and drug discovery. Hence, accurately identifying protein–protein interactions will help us to understand the underlying molecular mechanisms and significantly facilitate the drug discovery. However, the majority of existing computational methods for protein–protein interactions prediction are focused on the feature extraction and combination of features and there have been limited gains from the state-of-the-art models. In this work, a new residue representation method named Res2vec is designed for protein sequence representation. Residue representations obtained by Res2vec describe more precisely residue-residue interactions from raw sequence and supply more effective inputs for the downstream deep learning model. Combining effective feature embedding with powerful deep learning techniques, our method provides a general computational pipeline to infer protein–protein interactions, even when protein structure knowledge is entirely unknown. The proposed method DeepFE-PPI is evaluated on the S. Cerevisiae and human datasets. The experimental results show that DeepFE-PPI achieves 94.78% (accuracy), 92.99% (recall), 96.45% (precision), 89.62% (Matthew’s correlation coefficient, MCC) and 98.71% (accuracy), 98.54% (recall), 98.77% (precision), 97.43% (MCC), respectively. In addition, we also evaluate the performance of DeepFE-PPI on five independent species datasets and all the results are superior to the existing methods. The comparisons show that DeepFE-PPI is capable of predicting protein–protein interactions by a novel residue representation method and a deep learning classification framework in an acceptable level of accuracy.

The exponentially increasing size of biomedical literature and the limited ability of manual curators to discover protein–protein interactions (PPIs) in text has led to delays in keeping PPI databases updated with the current findings. The state-of-the-art text mining methods for PPI extraction are primarily based on deep learning (DL) models, and the performance of a DL-based method is mainly affected by the architecture of DL models and the feature embedding methods. In this study, we compared different architectures of DL models, including convolutional neural networks (CNN), long short-term memory (LSTM), and hybrid models, and proposed a hybrid architecture of a bidirectional LSTM+CNN model for PPI extraction. Pretrained word embedding and shortest dependency path (SDP) embedding are fed into a two-embedding channel model, such that the model is able to model long-distance contextual information and can capture the local features and structure information effectively. The experimental results showed that the proposed model is superior to the non-hybrid DL models, and the hybrid CNN+Bidirectional LSTM model works well for PPI extraction. The visualization and comparison of the hidden features learned by different DL models further confirmed the effectiveness of the proposed model.
