Determining the subcellular localization of proteins is crucial for Understanding the functions of proteins, drug targeting, systems biology, and proteomics research. Experimental validation of subcellular localization is an expensive and challenging process. There exist several computational methods for automated prediction of protein subcellular localization; however, there is still room for better performance. Here, we propose a multi-view SVM-based approach that provides predictions for human proteins. We represent each protein sequence by multi-view features; i.e., physicochemical properties, amino acid compositions, and homology-based features. Our classification model contains seven classifiers for each localization, where each classifier provides a probabilistic result. To develop a multi-view voting classifier, we employ a weighted classifier combination method that assigns different weights to classifiers based on their discriminative strengths. We evaluated the described method on previously used datasets, as well as on our in-house dataset, called Trust dataset. Trust dataset is created by using a new subcellular localization hierarchy which merges UniProt Subcellular Location hierarchy and GO Cellular Component hierarchy by applying it on only manual experimental annotations in UniProtKB. We compared our results with five state-of-the-art methods, which are SubCons, LocTree2, CELLO2.5, MultiLoc2, and DeepLoc. Our approach outperformed the others with 59%, 61%, 68% overall Matthews correlation coefficient (MCC) scores on Trust, Golden (SubCons benchmark dataset), Golden-Trust (refined Golden dataset) datasets, respectively where SubCon’s MCC scores were 43%, 53%, and 56%.

Subcellular localization is crucial for determining the functions of proteins. A system called prediction of protein subcellular localization (P2SL) that predicts the subcellular localization of proteins in eukaryotic organisms based on the amino acid content of primary sequences using amino acid order is designed. The approach for prediction is to nd the most frequent motifs for each protein in a given class based on clustering via self organizing maps and then to use these most frequent motifs as features...

Distance-based Indexing of Residue Contacts for Protein Structure Retrieval and Alignment
Sacan, Ahmet; Toroslu, İsmail Hakkı; Ferhatosmanoglu, Hakan (2008-10-10)
New protein structures are continuously being determined with the hope of deriving insights into the function and mechanisms of proteins, and consequently, protein structure repositories are growing by leaps and bounds. However, we are still far from having the right methods for sensitive and effective use of the available structural data. The fact that current structural analysis tools are impractical for large-scale applications have given rise to several approaches that try to quickly identify candidate ...
Inference of Gene Regulatory Networks Via Multiple Data Sources and a Recommendation Method
Ozsoy, Makbule Gulcin; Polat, Faruk; Alhajj, Reda (2015-11-12)
Gene regulatory networks (GRNs) are composed of biological components, including genes, proteins and metabolites, and their interactions. In general, computational methods are used to infer the connections among these components. However, computational methods should take into account the general features of the GRNs, which are sparseness, scale-free topology, modularity and structure of the inferred networks. In this work, observing the common aspects between recommendation systems and GRNs, we decided to ...
Predicting Protein-Protein Interactions from the Molecular to the Proteome Level
Keskin, Ozlem; Tunçbağ, Nurcan; Gursoy, Attila (2016-04-27)
Identification of protein protein interactions (PPIs) is at the center of molecular biology considering the unquestionable role of proteins in cells. Combinatorial interactions result in a repertoire of multiple functions; hence, knowledge of PPI and binding regions naturally serve to functional proteomics and drug discovery. Given experimental limitations to find all interactions in a proteome, computational prediction/modeling of protein interactions is a prerequisite to proceed on the way to complete int...
