    Abstract Proteins are vital components of the biological world and serve a multitude of functions. They interact with other molecules through their interfaces and participate in crucial cellular processes. Disruption of these interactions can have negative effects on organisms, highlighting the importance of studying protein-protein interfaces for developing targeted therapies for diseases. Therefore, the development of a reliable method for investigating protein-protein interactions is of paramount importance. In this work, we present an approach for validating protein-protein interfaces using learned interface representations. The approach involves using a graph-based contrastive autoencoder architecture and a transformer to learn representations of protein-protein interaction interfaces from unlabeled data and then validating them through learned representations with a graph neural network. Our method achieves an accuracy of 0.91 for the test set, outperforming existing GNN-based methods. We demonstrate the effectiveness of our approach on a benchmark data set and show that it provides a promising solution for validating protein-protein interfaces.

    Abstract Proteins interact through their interfaces to fulfill essential functions in the cell. They bind to their partners in a highly specific manner and form complexes that have a profound effect on understanding the biological pathways they are involved in. Any abnormal interactions may cause diseases. Therefore, the identification of small molecules which modulate protein interactions through their interfaces has high therapeutic potential. However, discovering such molecules is challenging. Most protein-protein binding affinity is attributed to a small set of amino acids found in protein interfaces known as hot spots. Recent studies demonstrate that drug-like small molecules specifically may bind to hot spots. Therefore, hot spot prediction is crucial. As experimental data accumulates, artificial intelligence begins to be used for computational hot spot prediction. First, we review machine learning and deep learning for computational hot spot prediction and then explain the significance of hot spots toward drug design.

    Abstract Summary: We present a web-based server for navigating and visualizing possible interactions between SARS-CoV-2 and human host proteins. The interactions are obtained from HMI_Pred which relies on the rationale that virus proteins mimic host proteins. The structural alignment of the viral protein with one side of the human protein-protein interface determines the mimicry. The mimicked human proteins and predicted interactions, and the binding sites are presented. The user can choose one of the 18 SARS-CoV-2 protein structures and visualize the potential 3D complexes it forms with human proteins. The mimicked interface is also provided. The user can superimpose two interacting human proteins in order to see whether they bind to the same site or different sites on the viral protein. The server also tabulates all available mimicked interactions together with their match scores and number of aligned residues. This is the first server listing and cataloging all interactions between SARS-CoV-2 and human protein structures, enabled by our innovative interface mimicry strategy.
    Availability: The server is available at https://interactome.ku.edu.tr/sars/.
