In-Pero: Exploiting Deep Learning Embeddings of Protein Sequences to Predict the Localisation of Peroxisomal Proteins.

ABSTRACT: Peroxisomes are ubiquitous membrane-bound organelles, and aberrant localisation of peroxisomal proteins contributes to the pathogenesis of several disorders. Many computational methods focus on assigning protein sequences to subcellular compartments, but there are no specific tools tailored for the sub-localisation (matrix vs. membrane) of peroxisome proteins. We present here In-Pero, a new method for predicting protein sub-peroxisomal cellular localisation. In-Pero combines standard machine learning approaches with recently proposed multi-dimensional deep-learning representations of the protein amino-acid sequence. It showed a classification accuracy above 0.9 in predicting peroxisomal matrix and membrane proteins. The method is trained and tested using a double cross-validation approach on a curated data set comprising 160 peroxisomal proteins with experimental evidence for sub-peroxisomal localisation. We further show that the proposed approach can be easily adapted (In-Mito) to the prediction of mitochondrial protein localisation obtaining performances for certain classes of proteins (matrix and inner-membrane) superior to existing tools.

Project description:Plant vacuoles are the most important organelles for plant growth, development, and defense, and they play an important role in many types of stress responses. An important function of vacuole proteins is the transport of various classes of amino acids, ions, sugars, and other molecules. Accurate identification of vacuole proteins is crucial for revealing their biological functions. Several automatic and rapid computational tools have been proposed for the subcellular localization of proteins. Regrettably, they are not specific for the identification of plant vacuole proteins. To the best of our knowledge, there is only one computational software specifically trained for plant vacuolar proteins. Although its accuracy is acceptable, the prediction performance and stability of this method in practical applications can still be improved. Hence, in this study, a new predictor named iPVP-DRLF was developed to identify plant vacuole proteins specifically and effectively. This prediction software is designed using the light gradient boosting machine (LGBM) algorithm and hybrid features composed of classic sequence features and deep representation learning features. iPVP-DRLF achieved fivefold cross-validation and independent test accuracy values of 88.25 % and 87.16 %, respectively, both outperforming previous state-of-the-art predictors. Moreover, the blind dataset test results also showed that the performance of iPVP-DRLF was significantly better than the existing tools. The results of comparative experiments confirmed that deep representation learning features have an advantage over other classic sequence features in the identification of plant vacuole proteins. We believe that iPVP-DRLF would serve as an effective computational technique for plant vacuole protein prediction and facilitate related future research.
