SumoPred-PLM: human SUMOylation and SUMO2/3 sites Prediction using Pre-trained Protein Language Model.

ABSTRACT: SUMOylation is an essential post-translational modification system with the ability to regulate nearly all aspects of cellular physiology. Three major paralogues SUMO1, SUMO2 and SUMO3 form a covalent bond between the small ubiquitin-like modifier with lysine residues at consensus sites in protein substrates. Biochemical studies continue to identify unique biological functions for protein targets conjugated to SUMO1 versus the highly homologous SUMO2 and SUMO3 paralogues. Yet, the field has failed to harness contemporary AI approaches including pre-trained protein language models to fully expand and/or recognize the SUMOylated proteome. Herein, we present a novel, deep learning-based approach called SumoPred-PLM for human SUMOylation prediction with sensitivity, specificity, Matthew's correlation coefficient, and accuracy of 74.64%, 73.36%, 0.48% and 74.00%, respectively, on the CPLM 4.0 independent test dataset. In addition, this novel platform uses contextualized embeddings obtained from a pre-trained protein language model, ProtT5-XL-UniRef50 to identify SUMO2/3-specific conjugation sites. The results demonstrate that SumoPred-PLM is a powerful and unique computational tool to predict SUMOylation sites in proteins and accelerate discovery.

Project description:MotivationO-linked glycosylation, an essential post-translational modification process in Homo sapiens, involves attaching sugar moieties to the oxygen atoms of serine and/or threonine residues. It influences various biological and cellular functions. While threonine or serine residues within protein sequences are potential sites for O-linked glycosylation, not all serine and/or threonine residues undergo this modification, underscoring the importance of characterizing its occurrence. This study presents a novel approach for predicting intracellular and extracellular O-linked glycosylation events on proteins, which are crucial for comprehending cellular processes. Two base multi-layer perceptron models were trained by leveraging a stacked generalization framework. These base models respectively use ProtT5 and Ankh O-linked glycosylation site-specific embeddings whose combined predictions are used to train the meta-multi-layer perceptron model. Trained on extensive O-linked glycosylation datasets, the stacked-generalization model demonstrated high predictive performance on independent test datasets. Furthermore, the study emphasizes the distinction between nucleocytoplasmic and extracellular O-linked glycosylation, offering insights into their functional implications that were overlooked in previous studies. By integrating the protein language model's embedding with stacked generalization techniques, this approach enhances predictive accuracy of O-linked glycosylation events and illuminates the intricate roles of O-linked glycosylation in proteomics, potentially accelerating the discovery of novel glycosylation sites.ResultsStack-OglyPred-PLM produces Sensitivity, Specificity, Matthews Correlation Coefficient, and Accuracy of 90.50%, 89.60%, 0.464, and 89.70%, respectively on a benchmark NetOGlyc-4.0 independent test dataset. These results demonstrate that Stack-OglyPred-PLM is a robust computational tool to predict O-linked glycosylation sites in proteins.Availability and implementationThe developed tool, programs, training, and test dataset are available at https://github.com/PakhrinLab/Stack-OglyPred-PLM.

Project description:Oomycetes are fungus-like eukaryotic microorganisms which can cause catastrophic diseases in many plants. Successful infection of oomycetes depends highly on their effector proteins that are secreted into plant cells to subvert plant immunity. Thus, systematic identification of effectors from the oomycete proteomes remains an initial but crucial step in understanding plant-pathogen relationships. However, the number of experimentally identified oomycete effectors is still limited. Currently, only a few bioinformatics predictors exist to detect potential effectors, and their prediction performance needs to be improved. Here, we used the sequence embeddings from a pre-trained large protein language model (ProtTrans) as input and developed a support vector machine-based method called POOE for predicting oomycete effectors. POOE could achieve a highly accurate performance with an area under the precision-recall curve of 0.804 (area under the receiver operating characteristic curve = 0.893, accuracy = 0.874, precision = 0.777, recall = 0.684, and specificity = 0.936) in the fivefold cross-validation, considerably outperforming various combinations of popular machine learning algorithms and other commonly used sequence encoding schemes. A similar prediction performance was also observed in the independent test. Compared with the existing oomycete effector prediction methods, POOE provided very competitive and promising performance, suggesting that ProtTrans effectively captures rich protein semantic information and dramatically improves the prediction task. We anticipate that POOE can accelerate the identification of oomycete effectors and provide new hints to systematically understand the functional roles of effectors in plant-pathogen interactions. The web server of POOE is freely accessible at http://zzdlab.com/pooe/index.php.

POOE could achieve a highly accurate performance in the independent test set, considerably outperforming existing oomycete effector prediction methods. We expect that this new bioinformatics tool will accelerate the identification of oomycete effectors and further guide the experimental efforts to interrogate the functional roles of effectors in plant-pathogen interaction.
