    Abstract Motivation: The spectacular recent advances in protein and protein complex structure prediction hold promise for reconstructing interactomes at large-scale and residue resolution. Beyond determining the 3D arrangement of interacting partners, modeling approaches should be able to unravel the impact of sequence variations on the strength of the association.
    Results: In this work, we report on Deep Local Analysis, a novel and efficient deep learning framework that relies on a strikingly simple deconstruction of protein interfaces into small locally oriented residue-centered cubes and on 3D convolutions recognizing patterns within cubes. Merely based on the two cubes associated with the wild-type and the mutant residues, DLA accurately estimates the binding affinity change for the associated complexes. It achieves a Pearson correlation coefficient of 0.735 on about 400 mutations on unseen complexes. Its generalization capability on blind datasets of complexes is higher than the state-of-the-art methods. We show that taking into account the evolutionary constraints on residues contributes to predictions. We also discuss the influence of conformational variability on performance. Beyond the predictive power on the effects of mutations, DLA is a general framework for transferring the knowledge gained from the available non-redundant set of complex protein structures to various tasks. For instance, given a single partially masked cube, it recovers the identity and physicochemical class of the central residue. Given an ensemble of cubes representing an interface, it predicts the function of the complex.

    Abstract In light of the recent very rapid progress in protein structure prediction, accessing the multitude of functional protein states is becoming more central than ever before. Indeed, proteins are flexible macromolecules, and they often perform their function by switching between different conformations. However, high-resolution experimental techniques such as X-ray crystallography and cryogenic electron microscopy can catch relatively few protein functional states. Many others are only accessible under physiological conditions in solution. Therefore, there is a pressing need to fill this gap with computational approaches. We present HOPMA, a novel method to predict protein functional states and transitions by using a modified elastic network model. The method exploits patterns in a protein contact map, taking its 3D structure as input, and excludes some disconnected patches from the elastic network. Combined with nonlinear normal mode analysis, this strategy boosts the protein conformational space exploration, especially when the input structure is highly constrained, as we demonstrate on a set of more than 400 transitions. Our results let us envision the discovery of new functional conformations, which were unreachable previously, starting from the experimentally known protein structures. The method is computationally efficient and available at https://github.com/elolaine/HOPMA and https://team.inria.fr/nano-d/software/nolb-normal-modes.

    Abstract The wealth of genomic data has boosted the development of computational methods predicting the phenotypic outcomes of missense variants. The most accurate ones exploit multiple sequence alignments, which can be costly to generate. Recent efforts for democratizing protein structure prediction have overcome this bottleneck by leveraging the fast homology search of MMseqs2. Here, we show the usefulness of this strategy for mutational outcome prediction through a large-scale assessment of 1.5M missense variants across 72 protein families. Our study demonstrates the feasibility of producing alignment-based mutational landscape predictions that are both high-quality and compute-efficient for entire proteomes. We provide the community with the whole human proteome mutational landscape and simplified access to our predictive pipeline.

    Abstract Alternative splicing of repeats in proteins provides a mechanism for rewiring and fine-tuning protein interaction networks. In this work, we developed a robust and versatile method, ASPRING, to identify alternatively spliced protein repeats from gene annotations. ASPRING leverages evolutionary meaningful alternative splicing-aware hierarchical graphs to provide maps between protein repeats sequences and 3D structures. We re-think the definition of repeats by explicitly accounting for transcript diversity across several genes/species. Using a stringent sequence-based similarity criterion, we detected over 5,000 evolutionary conserved repeats by screening virtually all human protein-coding genes and their orthologs across a dozen species. Through a joint analysis of their sequences and structures, we extracted specificity-determining sequence signatures and assessed their implication in experimentally resolved and modelled protein interactions. Our findings demonstrate the widespread alternative usage of protein repeats in modulating protein interactions and open avenues for targeting repeat-mediated interactions.

    Abstract Summary: ASES is a versatile tool for assessing the impact of alternative splicing (AS), initiation and termination of transcription on protein diversity in evolution. It identifies exon and transcript orthogroups from a set of input genes/species for comparative transcriptomics analyses. It computes an evolutionary splicing graph, where the nodes are exon orthogroups, allowing for a direct evaluation of AS conservation. It also reconstructs a transcripts' phylogenetic forest to date the appearance of specific transcripts and explore the events that have shaped them. ASES web server features a highly interactive interface enabling the synchronous selection of events, exons or transcripts in the different outputs, and the visualization and retrieval of the corresponding amino acid sequences, for subsequent 3D structure prediction.

    Abstract Solute carrier (SLC) transporters are emerging drug targets. Identifying the molecular determinants responsible for their specific and selective transport activities and describing key interactions with their ligands are crucial steps towards the design of potential new drugs. A general functional mapping across more than 400 human SLC transporters would pave the way to the rational and systematic design of molecules modulating cellular transport.

    Abstract Motivation: With the recent advances in protein 3D structure prediction, protein interactions are becoming more central than ever before. Here, we address the problem of determining how proteins interact with one another. More specifically, we investigate the possibility of discriminating near-native protein complex conformations from incorrect ones by exploiting local environments around interfacial residues.
    Results: Deep Local Analysis (DLA)-Ranker is a deep learning framework applying 3D convolutions to a set of locally oriented cubes representing the protein interface. It explicitly considers the local geometry of the interfacial residues along with their neighboring atoms and the regions of the interface with different solvent accessibility. We assessed its performance on three docking benchmarks made of half a million acceptable and incorrect conformations. We show that DLA-Ranker successfully identifies near-native conformations from ensembles generated by molecular docking. It surpasses or competes with other deep learning-based scoring functions. We also showcase its usefulness to discover alternative interfaces.

    Abstract The potential of deep learning has been recognized in the protein structure prediction community for some time, and became indisputable after CASP13. In CASP14, deep learning has boosted the field to unanticipated levels reaching near-experimental accuracy. This success comes from advances transferred from other machine learning areas, as well as methods specifically designed to deal with protein sequences and structures, and their abstractions. Novel emerging approaches include (i) geometric learning, that is, learning on representations such as graphs, three-dimensional (3D) Voronoi tessellations, and point clouds; (ii) pretrained protein language models leveraging attention; (iii) equivariant architectures preserving the symmetry of 3D space; (iv) use of large meta-genome databases; (v) combinations of protein representations; and (vi) finally truly end-to-end architectures, that is, differentiable models starting from a sequence and returning a 3D structure. Here, we provide an overview and our opinion of the novel deep learning approaches developed in the last 2 years and widely used in CASP14.

    Abstract Physical interactions between proteins are central to all biological processes. Yet, the current knowledge of who interacts with whom in the cell and in what manner relies on partial, noisy, and highly heterogeneous data. Thus, there is a need for methods comprehensively describing and organizing such data. LEVELNET is a versatile and interactive tool for visualizing, exploring, and comparing protein-protein interaction (PPI) networks inferred from different types of evidence. LEVELNET helps to break down the complexity of PPI networks by representing them as multi-layered graphs and by facilitating the direct comparison of their subnetworks toward biological interpretation. It focuses primarily on the protein chains whose 3D structures are available in the Protein Data Bank. We showcase some potential applications, such as investigating the structural evidence supporting PPIs associated to specific biological processes, assessing the co-localization of interaction partners, comparing the PPI networks obtained through computational experiments versus homology transfer, and creating PPI benchmarks with desired properties.

    Abstract Interactions between proteins and nucleic acids are at the heart of many essential biological processes. Despite increasing structural information about how these interactions may take place, our understanding of the usage made of protein surfaces by nucleic acids is still very limited. This is in part due to the inherent complexity associated to protein surface deformability and evolution. In this work, we present a method that contributes to decipher such complexity by predicting protein-DNA interfaces and characterizing their properties. It relies on three biologically and physically meaningful descriptors, namely evolutionary conservation, physico-chemical properties and surface geometry. We carefully assessed its performance on several hundreds of protein structures and compared it to several machine-learning state-of-the-art methods. Our approach achieves a higher sensitivity compared to the other methods, with a similar precision. Importantly, we show that it is able to unravel 'hidden' binding sites by applying it to unbound protein structures and to proteins binding to DNA via multiple sites and in different conformations. It is also applicable to the detection of RNA-binding sites, without significant loss of performance. This confirms that DNA and RNA-binding sites share similar properties. Our method is implemented as a fully automated tool, [Formula: see text], freely accessible at: http://www.lcqb.upmc.fr/JET2DNA. We also provide a new dataset of 187 protein-DNA complex structures, along with a subset of 82 associated unbound structures. The set represents the largest body of high-resolution crystallographic structures of protein-DNA complexes, use biological protein assemblies as DNA-binding units, and covers all major types of protein-DNA interactions.
