A Transfer Learning-Based Approach for Lysine Propionylation Prediction.

ABSTRACT: Lysine propionylation is a newly discovered posttranslational modification (PTM) and plays a key role in the cellular process. Although proteomics techniques was capable of detecting propionylation, large-scale detection was still challenging. To bridge this gap, we presented a transfer learning-based method for computationally predicting propionylation sites. The recurrent neural network-based deep learning model was trained firstly by the malonylation and then fine-tuned by the propionylation. The trained model served as feature extractor where protein sequences as input were translated into numerical vectors. The support vector machine was used as the final classifier. The proposed method reached a matthews correlation coefficient (MCC) of 0.6615 on the 10-fold crossvalidation and 0.3174 on the independent test, outperforming state-of-the-art methods. The enrichment analysis indicated that the propionylation was associated with these GO terms (GO:0016620, GO:0051287, GO:0003735, GO:0006096, and GO:0005737) and with metabolism. We developed a user-friendly online tool for predicting propoinylation sites which is available at http://47.113.117.61/.

Project description:Alzheimer's disease (AD) has its onset many decades before dementia develops, and work is ongoing to characterise individuals at risk of decline on the basis of early detection through biomarker and cognitive testing as well as the presence/absence of identified risk factors. Risk prediction models for AD based on various computational approaches, including machine learning, are being developed with promising results. However, these approaches have been criticised as they are unable to generalise due to over-reliance on one data source, poor internal and external validations, and lack of understanding of prediction models, thereby limiting the clinical utility of these prediction models. We propose a framework that employs a transfer-learning paradigm with ensemble learning algorithms to develop explainable personalised risk prediction models for dementia. Our prediction models, known as source models, are initially trained and tested using a publicly available dataset (n = 84,856, mean age = 69 years) with 14 years of follow-up samples to predict the individual risk of developing dementia. The decision boundaries of the best source model are further updated by using an alternative dataset from a different and much younger population (n = 473, mean age = 52 years) to obtain an additional prediction model known as the target model. We further apply the SHapely Additive exPlanation (SHAP) algorithm to visualise the risk factors responsible for the prediction at both population and individual levels. The best source model achieves a geometric accuracy of 87%, specificity of 99%, and sensitivity of 76%. In comparison to a baseline model, our target model achieves better performance across several performance metrics, within an increase in geometric accuracy of 16.9%, specificity of 2.7%, and sensitivity of 19.1%, an area under the receiver operating curve (AUROC) of 11% and a transfer learning efficacy rate of 20.6%. The strength of our approach is the large sample size used in training the source model, transferring and applying the "knowledge" to another dataset from a different and undiagnosed population for the early detection and prediction of dementia risk, and the ability to visualise the interaction of the risk factors that drive the prediction. This approach has direct clinical utility.
