A Machine Learning Model for the Proteome-Wide Prediction of Lipid-Interacting Proteins.

ABSTRACT: Lipids are essential metabolites that play critical roles in multiple cellular pathways. Like many primary metabolites, mutations that disrupt lipid synthesis can be lethal. Proteins involved in lipid synthesis, trafficking, and modification, are targets for therapeutic intervention in infectious disease and metabolic disorders. The ability to rapidly detect these proteins can accelerate their evaluation as targets for deranged lipid pathologies. However, it remains challenging to identify lipid binding motifs in proteins because the rules that govern protein engagement with specific lipids are poorly understood. As such, new bioinformatic tools that reveal conserved features in lipid binding proteins are necessary. Here, we present Structure-based Lipid-interacting
