In this study, an attempt has been made to predict the major functions of gramnegative bacterial proteins from their amino acid sequences. The dataset used for training and testing consists of 670 non-redundant gram-negative bacterial proteins (255 of cellular process, 60 of information molecules, 285 of metabolism, and 70 of virulence factors). First we developed an SVM-based method using amino acid and dipeptide composition and achieved the overall accuracy of 52.39% and 47.01%, respectively. We introduced a new concept for the classification of proteins based on tetrapeptides, in which we identified the unique tetrapeptides significantly found in a class of proteins. These tetrapeptides were used as the input feature for predicting the function of a protein and achieved the overall accuracy of 68.66%. We also developed a hybrid method in which the tetrapeptide information was used with amino acid composition and achieved the overall accuracy of 70.75%. A five-fold cross validation was used to evaluate the performance of these methods. The web server VICMpred has been developed for predicting the function of gram-negative bacterial proteins (http://www.imtech.res.in/raghava/vicmpred/). 相似文献

Although the sequence information on G-protein coupled receptors (GPCRs) continues to grow, many GPCRs remain orphaned (i.e. ligand specificity unknown) or poorly characterized with little structural information available, so an automated and reliable method is badly needed to facilitate the identification of novel receptors. In this study, a method of fast Fourier transform-based support vector machine has been developed for predicting GPCR subfamilies according to protein's hydrophobicity. In classifying Class B, C, D and F subfamilies, the method achieved an overall Matthew's correlation coefficient and accuracy of 0.95 and 93.3%, respectively, when evaluated using the jackknife test. The method achieved an accuracy of 100% on the Class B independent dataset. The results show that this method can classify GPCR subfamilies as well as their functional classification with high accuracy. A web server implementing the prediction is available at http://chem.scu.edu.cn/blast/Pred-GPCR. 相似文献

In our previous work,we developed a computational tool,PreK-ClassK-ClassKv,to predictand classify potassium (K~ ) channels.For K channel prediction (PreK) and classification at family level(ClassK),this method performs well.However,it does not perform so well in classifying voltage-gatedpotassium (Kv) channels (ClassKv).In this paper,a new method based on the local sequence information ofKv channels is introduced to classify Kv channels.Six transmembrane domains of a Kv channel protein areused to define a protein,and the dipeptide composition technique is used to transform an amino acid sequenceto a numerical sequence.A Kv channel protein is represented by a vector with 2000 elements,and a supportvector machine algorithm is applied to classify Kv channels.This method shows good performance withaverages of total accuracy (Acc),sensitivity (SE),specificity (SP),reliability (R) and Matthews correlationcoefficient (MCC) of 98.0%,89.9%,100%,0.95 and 0.94 respectively.The results indicate that the localsequence information-based method is better than the global sequence information-based method to classifyKv channels. 相似文献

An improved method, called Alternative Spectral Rotation (ASR) measure, for predicting protein coding regions in rice DNA has been developed. The method is based on the Spectral Rotation (SR) measure proposed by Kotlar and Lavner, and its accuracy is higher than that of the SR measure and the Spectral Content (SC) measure proposed by Tiwari et al. In order to increase the identifying accuracy,we chose three different coding characters, namely the asymmetric, purine, and stop-codon variables as parameters, and an approving result was presented by the method of Linear Discriminant Analysis (LDA). 相似文献

The biological functions of a protein are closely related to its attributes in a cell. With the rapid accumulation of newly found protein sequence data in databanks, it is highly desirable to develop an automated method for predicting the subcellular location of proteins. The establishment of such a predictor will expedite the functional determination of newly found proteins and the process of prioritizing genes and proteins identified by genomic efforts as potential molecular targets for drug design. The traditional algorithms for predicting these attributes were based solely on amino acid composition in which no sequence order effect was taken into account. To improve the prediction quality, it is necessary to incorporate such an effect. However, the number of possible patterns in protein sequences is extremely large, posing a formidable difficulty for realizing this goal. To deal with such difficulty, a well-developed tool in digital signal processing named digital Fourier transform (DFT) [1] was introduced. After being translated to a digital signal according to the hydrophobicity of each amino acid, a protein was analyzed by DFT within the frequency domain. A set of frequency spectrum parameters, thus obtained, were regarded as the factors to represent the sequence order effect. A significant improvement in prediction quality was observed by incorporating the frequency spectrum parameters with the conventional amino acid composition. One of the crucial merits of this approach is that many existing tools in mathematics and engineering can be easily applied in the predicting process. It is anticipated that digital signal processing may serve as a useful vehicle for many other protein science areas. 相似文献

In this study, we developed a systematic evolution of ligands by exponential enrichment (SELEX) method using a combination of magnetic beads immobilization and flow cytometric measurement. As an example, the selection of streptavidin-specific aptamers was performed. In this protocol, the conventional SELEX procedure was optimized, fiirst using magnetic beads for target immobilization to facilitate highly efficient separation of the binding single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) aptamers from the unbound ssDNAs, and second using flow cytometry and fluorescein labeling to monitor the enrichment. The sensitivity of flow cytometry was adequate for ssDNA quantification during the SELEX procedures. The streptavidin-specific aptamers obtained in this work can be used as tools for characterization of the occupancy of streptavidin-modified surfaces with biotinylated target molecules. The method described in the study is also generally applicable to target molecules other than streptavidin. 相似文献

Microarray has become a popular biotechnology in biological and medical research. However, systematic and stochastic variabilities in microarray data are expected and unavoidable, resulting in the problem that the raw measurements have inherent “noise” within microarray experiments. Currently, logarithmic ratios are usually analyzed by various clustering methods directly, which may introduce bias interpretation in identifying groups of genes or samples. In this paper, a statistical method based on mixed model approaches was proposed for microarray data cluster analysis. The underlying rationale of this method is to partition the observed total gene expression level into various variations caused by different factors using an ANOVA model, and to predict the differential effects of GV (gene by variety) interaction using the adjusted unbiased prediction (AUP) method. The predicted GV interaction effects can then be used as the inputs of cluster analysis. We illustrated the application of our method with a gene expression dataset and elucidated the utility of our approach using an external validation. 相似文献

DNA is one of the most basic and essential genetic materials in the field of molecular biology.To date,isolation of sufficient and good-quality DNA is still a challenge for many plant species,though various DNA extraction methods have been published.In the present paper,a recycling DNA extraction method was proposed.The key step of this method was that a single plant tissue sample was recycled for DNA extraction for up to four times,and correspondingly four DNA precipitations(termed as the 1st,2nd,3rd and 4th DNA sample, respectively) were conducted.This recycling step was integrated into the conventional CTAB DNA extraction method to establish a recycling CTAB method.This modified CTAB method was tested in eight plant species,wheat,sorghum,barley,corn,rice,Brachypodium distachyon,Miscanthus sinensis and tung tree.The results showed that high-yield and good-quality DNA samples could be obtained by using this new method in all the eight plant species.The DNA samples were good templates for PCR amplification of both ISSR and SSR markers.The recycling method can be used in multiple plant species and can be integrated with multiple conventional DNA isolation methods,and thus is an effective and universal DNA isolation method. 相似文献

Huwentoxin-I, a neurotoxic peptide from the spider Selenocosmia huwena, was synthesized by sol-id-phase method with Fluorenylmethoxycarbonyl amino acid pentafluorophenyl esters (Fmoc-AA-OPfp). The carboxyl and the hydroxy groups were protected by tBu; the side chains of Lys and His were protected by Roc; the guanidine group of Arg was protected by Mtr and the mercaptan group of Cys was protected by Trt. The solid-phase carrier was ethylene diamine-polyethylene-polystyrene (DEA-PEG-PS) resin. The synthetic peptide was cleaved from the resin and deprotected by a 90% TFA solution containing 5% thioanisole, 3% ethanedithiol and 2% anisole. The product was reduced with DTT and then incubated with GSSG and GSH to form the correct disulfide bond linkages. The syn-thetic peptide was purified by HPLC and then characterized by amino acid composition and sequence analysis, peptide mapping and NMR. The biological activity of the synthetic product was tested by electrophysiological method using the isolated mouse ph 相似文献

of complete genome sequences submitted directly from sequencing projects are diverse in terms of annotation strategies and update frequencies. These inconsistencies make comparative studies difficult. To allow rapid data preparation of a large number of complete genomes, automation and speed are important for genome re-annotation. Here we introduce an open-source rapid genome re-annotation software system, Restauro-G, specialized for bacterial genomes. Restauro-G re-annotates a genome by similarity searches utilizing the BLASTLike Alignment Tool, referring to protein databases such as UniProt KB, NCBI nr, NCBI COGs, Pfam, and PSORTb. Re-annotation by Restauro-G achieved over 98% accuracy for most bacterial chromosomes in comparison with the original manually curated annotation of EMBL releases. Restauro-G was developed in the generic bioinformatics workbench G-language Genome Analysis Environment and is distributed at http://restauro-g.iab.keio.ac.jp/ under the GNU General Public License. 相似文献

Firstly, support vector machine (SVM) modules were developed using amino acid composition and dipeptide composition for predicting oxygen-binding pro- teins, and achieved maximum accuracy of 85.5% and 87.8%, respectively. Sec- ondly, an SVM module was developed based on amino acid composition, classify- ing the predicted oxygen-binding proteins into six classes with accuracy of 95.8%, 97.5%, 97.5%, 96.9%, 99.4%, and 96.0% for erythrocruorin, hemerythrin, hemo- cyanin, hemoglobin, leghemoglobin, and myoglobin proteins, respectively. Finally, an SVM module was developed using dipeptide composition for classifying the oxygen-binding proteins, and achieved maximum accuracy of 96.1%, 98.7%, 98.7%, 85.6%, 99.6%, and 93.3% for the above six classes, respectively. All modules were trained and tested by five-fold cross validation.

Prediction of neurotoxins based on their function and source 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
We have developed a method NTXpred for predicting neurotoxins and classifying them based on their function and origin. The dataset used in this study consists of 582 non-redundant, experimentally annotated neurotoxins obtained from Swiss-Prot. A number of modules have been developed for predicting neurotoxins using residue composition based on feed-forwarded neural network (FNN), recurrent neural network (RNN), support vector machine (SVM) and achieved maximum accuracy of 84.19%, 92.75%, 97.72% respectively. In addition, SVM modules have been developed for classifying neurotoxins based on their source (e.g., eubacteria, cnidarians, molluscs, arthropods have been and chordate) using amino acid composition and dipeptide composition and achieved maximum overall accuracy of 78.94% and 88.07% respectively. The overall accuracy increased to 92.10%, when the evolutionary information obtained from PSI-BLAST was combined with SVM module of source classification. We have also developed SVM modules for classifying neurotoxins based on functions using amino acid, dipeptide composition and achieved overall accuracy of 83.11%, 91.10% respectively. The overall accuracy of function classification improved to 95.11%, when PSI-BLAST output was combined with SVM module. All the modules developed in this study were evaluated using five-fold cross-validation technique.

Here we report a systematic approach for predicting subcellular localization (cytoplasm, mitochondrial, nuclear, and plasma membrane) of human proteins. First, support vector machine (SVM)-based modules for predicting subcellular localization using traditional amino acid and dipeptide (i + 1) composition achieved overall accuracy of 76.6 and 77.8%, respectively. PSI-BLAST, when carried out using a similarity-based search against a nonredundant data base of experimentally annotated proteins, yielded 73.3% accuracy. To gain further insight, a hybrid module (hybrid1) was developed based on amino acid composition, dipeptide composition, and similarity information and attained better accuracy of 84.9%. In addition, SVM modules based on a different higher order dipeptide i.e. i + 2, i + 3, and i + 4 were also constructed for the prediction of subcellular localization of human proteins, and overall accuracy of 79.7, 77.5, and 77.1% was accomplished, respectively. Furthermore, another SVM module hybrid2 was developed using traditional dipeptide (i + 1) and higher order dipeptide (i + 2, i + 3, and i + 4) compositions, which gave an overall accuracy of 81.3%. We also developed SVM module hybrid3 based on amino acid composition, traditional and higher order dipeptide compositions, and PSI-BLAST output and achieved an overall accuracy of 84.4%. A Web server HSLPred (www.imtech.res.in/raghava/hslpred/ or bioinformatics.uams.edu/raghava/hslpred/) has been designed to predict subcellular localization of human proteins using the above approaches. 相似文献

Glutathione S-transferase (GST) proteins play vital role in living organism that includes detoxification of exogenous and endogenous chemicals, survivability during stress condition. This paper describes a method developed for predicting GST proteins. We have used a dataset of 107 GST and 107 non-GST proteins for training and the performance of the method was evaluated with five-fold cross-validation technique. First a SVM based method has been developed using amino acid and dipeptide composition and achieved the maximum accuracy of 91.59% and 95.79% respectively. In addition we developed a SVM based method using tripeptide composition and achieved maximum accuracy 97.66% which is better than accuracy achieved by HMM based searching (96.26%).

Most of the prediction methods for secretory proteins require the presence of a correct N-terminal end of the preprotein for correct classification. As large scale genome sequencing projects sometimes assign the 5'-end of genes incorrectly, many proteins are encoded without the correct N-terminus leading to incorrect prediction. In this study, a systematic attempt has been made to predict secretory proteins irrespective of presence or absence of N-terminal signal peptides (also known as classical and non-classical secreted proteins respectively), using machine-learning techniques; artificial neural network (ANN) and support vector machine (SVM). We trained and tested our methods on a dataset of 3321 secretory and 3654 non-secretory mammalian proteins using five-fold cross-validation technique. First, ANN-based modules have been developed for predicting secretory proteins using 33 physico-chemical properties, amino acid composition and dipeptide composition and achieved accuracies of 73.1%, 76.1% and 77.1%, respectively. Similarly, SVM-based modules using 33 physico-chemical properties, amino acid, and dipeptide composition have been able to achieve accuracies of 77.4%, 79.4% and 79.9%, respectively. In addition, BLAST and PSI-BLAST modules designed for predicting secretory proteins based on similarity search achieved 23.4% and 26.9% accuracy, respectively. Finally, we developed a hybrid-approach by integrating amino acid and dipeptide composition based SVM modules and PSI-BLAST module that increased the accuracy to 83.2%, which is significantly better than individual modules. We also achieved high sensitivity of 60.4% with low value of 5% false positive predictions using hybrid module. A web server SRTpred has been developed based on above study for predicting classical and non-classical secreted proteins from whole sequence of mammalian proteins, which is available from http://www.imtech.res.in/raghava/srtpred/. 相似文献

This paper describes a method developed for predicting bacterial toxins from their amino acid sequences. All the modules, developed in this study, were trained and tested on a non-redundant dataset of 150 bacterial toxins that included 77 exotoxins and 73 endotoxins. Firstly, support vector machines (SVM) based modules were developed for predicting the bacterial toxins using amino acids and dipeptides composition and achieved an accuracy of 96.07% and 92.50%, respectively. Secondly, SVM based modules were developed for discriminating entotoxins and exotoxins, using amino acids and dipeptides composition and achieved an accuracy of 95.71% and 92.86%, respectively. In addition, modules have been developed for classifying the exotoxins (e.g. activate adenylate cyclase, activate guanylate cyclase, neurotoxins) using hidden Markov models (HMM), PSI-BLAST and a combination of the two and achieved overall accuracy of 95.75%, 97.87% and 100%, respectively. Based on the above study, a web server called 'BTXpred' has been developed, which is available at http://www.imtech.res.in/raghava/btxpred/.
