Improving prediction performance of general protein language model by domain-adaptive pretraining on DNA-binding protein.

ABSTRACT: DNA-protein interactions exert the fundamental structure of many pivotal biological processes, such as DNA replication, transcription, and gene regulation. However, accurate and efficient computational methods for identifying these interactions are still lacking. In this study, we propose a method ESM-DBP through refining the DNA-binding protein sequence repertory and domain-adaptive pretraining based the general protein language model. Our method considers the lacking exploration of general language model for DNA-binding protein domain-specific knowledge, so we screen out 170,264 DNA-binding protein sequences to construct the domain-adaptive language model. Experimental results on four downstream tasks show that ESM-DBP provides a better feature representation of DNA-binding protein compa
