TAPE_selection: Organelle Proteins Classification With TAPE Feature Selection.
IEEE Transactions on Computational Biology and Bioinformatics
|August 14, 2025
Summary
This study introduces TAPE_selection methods to improve organelle protein analysis by reducing redundant features. This enhances the understanding of protein localization and function in biological processes.
Area of Science:
- Molecular Biology
- Biochemistry
- Bioinformatics
Background:
- Proteins are fundamental macromolecules essential for cellular structure and function, acting as key players in life activities.
- Organelle protein transportation and localization are complex processes vital for biological functions.
- Understanding organelle protein characteristics is crucial for deciphering cellular mechanisms.
Purpose of the Study:
- To develop and evaluate TAPE_selection methods for reducing irrelevant information in organelle protein features.
- To enhance the analysis of plant vacuole proteins (PVPs) and peroxidase proteins by optimizing feature representation.
Main Methods:
- Feature selection strategies including Chi-Squared Test, Minimum Redundancy Maximum Relevance (mRMR), and Neighborhood Components Analysis (NCA) were employed.
- Proper Orthogonal Decomposition (POD) and t-distributed Stochastic Neighbor Embedding (t-SNE) were utilized for feature scale reduction post-selection.
Main Results:
- The TAPE_selection methods effectively reduced redundant information in organelle protein features.
- Optimized feature sets improved the analysis of plant vacuole proteins and peroxidase proteins.
Conclusions:
- The proposed TAPE_selection approach offers a robust method for feature selection in organelle protein analysis.
- This work contributes to a more accurate and efficient understanding of protein functions within cellular organelles.

01:45Tail-anchoring of Proteins in the ER Membrane
3.2K
Tail-anchored, or TA, proteins are estimated to make up to 3-5% of membrane proteins found in the eukaryotic cell. Such proteins have a single transmembrane domain located approximately 30 amino acid residues upstream from the C-terminal end. As a result, the signal recognition particle (SRP) cannot guide a TA protein to the ER membrane for cotranslational insertion. Hence, they are integrated into the ER membrane post-translationally using their C-terminal end as the anchor. TA proteins...

01:24Tagging and Fusion Proteins
6.9K
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...

01:30Classification of Signals
889
In signal processing, signals are classified based on various characteristics: continuous-time versus discrete-time, periodic versus aperiodic, analog versus digital, and causal versus noncausal. Each category highlights distinct properties crucial for understanding and manipulating signals.
A continuous-time signal holds a value at every instant in time, representing information seamlessly. In contrast, a discrete-time signal holds values only at specific moments, often denoted as x(n), where...

01:48Classification of Skeletal Muscle Fibers
56.9K
Skeletal muscles continuously produce ATP to provide the energy that enables muscle contractions. Skeletal muscle fibers can be categorized into three types based on differences in their contraction speed and how they produce ATP, as well as physical differences related to these factors. Most human muscles contain all three muscle fiber types, albeit in varying proportions.

01:41Signal Sequences and Sorting Receptors
5.6K
Signal sequences are short amino acid sequences that guide newly synthesized proteins to their proper location within the cell. Classical signal sequences are fifteen to sixty amino acids long and present at the N-terminus of a polypeptide chain. Each signal sequence has a conserved segment of basic residues towards their N terminus, a hydrophobic core, and a C-terminus rich in polar residues. The C-terminus also contains a signal cleavage site and features a -3 -1 sequence motif. The -3-1...

01:45Overview of Protein Sorting and Transport
11.9K
Eukaryotic cells have different membrane-bound organelles with distinct protein requirements. The process by which proteins are targeted to a specific organelle is called protein sorting.
Protein sorting can be of two types: signal-based sorting and vesicle-based trafficking. In signal-based sorting, specific amino acid sequences called sorting signals target proteins to the proper location inside the cell either via gated transport or by protein translocation. In gated transport, folded...
