Abstract:

The hot regions in PPIs are some assembly regions which are composed of the tightly packed HotSpots. The discovery of hot regions helps to understand life activities and has very important value for biological applications. The identification of hot regions is the basis for protein design and cancer prevention. The existing algorithms of predicting hot regions often have some defects, such as low accuracy and unstability. This paper proposes a novel hot region prediction method based on diverse biological characteristics. First, feature evaluation is employed by using an impoved mRMR method. Then, SVM is adopted to create cassification model based on the features selected. In addition, a new clustering algorithm, namely LCSD (Local community structure detecting), is developed to detect and analyze the conformation of hot regions. In the clustering process, the link similarity of protein residues is introduced to handle the boundary nodes. This algorithm can effectively deal with the missing residue nodes and control the local community boundaries. The results indicate that the spatial structure of hot regions can be obtained more effectively, and that our method is more effective than previous methods for precise identification of hot regions.
