Abstract:

Proteins usually perform their cellular functions by interacting with other proteins. Accurate identification of protein-protein interaction sites (PPIs) from sequence is import for designing new drugs and developing novel therapeutics. A lot of computational models for PPIs prediction have been developed because experimental methods are slow and expensive. Most models employ a sliding window approach in which local neighbors are concatenated to present a target residue. However, those neighbors are not distinguished by pairwise information between a neighbor and the target. In this study, we propose a novel PPIs prediction model AttCNNPPISP, which combines attention mechanism and convolutional neural networks (CNNs). The attention mechanism dynamically captures the pairwise correlation of each neighbor-target pair within a sliding window, and therefore makes a better understanding of the local environment of target residue. And then, CNNs take the local representation as input to make prediction. Experiments are employed on several public benchmark datasets. Compared with the state-of-the-art models, AttCNNPPISP improves the prediction performance. Also, the experimental results demonstrate that the attention mechanism is effective in terms of constructing comprehensive context information of target residue.
