Abstract |
: |
Protein phosphorylation is a posttranslational modification (PTM or PTLM),
where a phosphoryl group is added to the residue(s) of a protein molecule. The
most commonly phosphorylated amino acids occur at serine (S), threonine (T), and
tyrosine (Y). Protein phosphorylation plays a significant role in a wide range of
cellular processes; meanwhile its dysregulation is also involved with many diseases.
Therefore, from the angles of both basic research and drug development, we are
facing a challenging problem: for an uncharacterized protein sequence containing
many residues of S, T, or Y, which ones can be phosphorylated, and which ones
cannot? To address this problem, we have developed a predictor called iPhos-PseEn
by fusing four different pseudo component approaches (amino acids’ disorder scores,
nearest neighbor scores, occurrence frequencies, and position weights) into an
ensemble classifier via a voting system. Rigorous cross-validations indicated that
the proposed predictor remarkably outperformed its existing counterparts. For the
convenience of most experimental scientists, a user-friendly web-server for iPhos-
PseEn has been established at http://www.jci-bioinfo.cn/iPhos-PseEn, by which
users can easily obtain their desired results without the need to go through the
complicated mathematical equations involved. |
