Conservation of Protein Domains Over Different Proteins

Conservation of Protein Domains Over Different Proteins

Protein domains are small structurally independent units that are part of a single amino acid chain. Although these domains are often structurally independent, they may rely on synergistic effects to perform their functions as part of a larger protein. Protein domains may be conserved within the same organism, as well as across different organisms.
A limited set of protein domains often duplicate and recombine during evolution. These domains can be organized in different combinations to...

Protein Networks

Protein Networks

An organism can have thousands of different proteins, and these proteins must cooperate to ensure the health of an organism. Proteins bind to other proteins and form complexes to carry out their functions. Many proteins interact with multiple other proteins creating a complex network of protein interactions.
These interactions can be represented through maps depicting protein-protein interaction networks, represented as nodes and edges. Nodes are circles that are representative of a protein,...

Multi-pass Transmembrane Proteins and β-barrels

Multi-pass Transmembrane Proteins and β-barrels

In multi-pass transmembrane proteins, the polypeptide chain crosses the membrane more than once. The transmembrane polypeptide chain either forms an α-helix or β-strand structure. α-Helix containing multi-pass transmembrane proteins are ubiquitous, whereas β-strand containing ones are mainly found in gram-negative bacteria, mitochondria, and chloroplasts.

Tagging and Fusion Proteins

Tagging and Fusion Proteins

Proteins are involved in several cellular processes and biochemical reactions. Analyzing a specific protein of interest requires it to be isolated from the other proteins in the cell. This is achieved by overexpressing the specific gene in a suitable host to produce large quantities of the target protein. A tag or label is recombined with the gene to produce a fusion protein containing the target protein and the tag. The tags on these fusion proteins can then be used for easy detection and...

Background:

Protein functional studies are crucial for understanding pathogenesis, drug development, and target discovery.
Current computational models for subcellular localization have limitations, including dependence on Gene Ontology (GO) databases and overlooking GO-protein localization relationships.

Purpose of the Study:

To develop an advanced computational model, DeepMTC, for accurate protein subcellular localization and function prediction.
To overcome the limitations of existing models by integrating protein function and localization without relying on known GO annotations.
To enable prediction for newly discovered proteins lacking prior functional data.

Main Methods:

Utilized pre-trained language models to extract protein 3D structure and sequence features.
Employed a graph transformer module to encode protein sequence features and address long-range dependencies.
Integrated a functional cross-attention mechanism to combine learned functional features for subcellular localization.

Main Results:

DeepMTC demonstrated superior performance compared to state-of-the-art models in both protein function prediction and subcellular localization.
The model successfully predicted subcellular localization and function for proteins without prior GO annotations.
Interpretability experiments confirmed DeepMTC's ability to identify key protein residues and functional domains.

Conclusions:

DeepMTC offers a powerful and versatile tool for protein functional studies, particularly for novel proteins.
