Increasing demand for the knowledge about protein-protein interactions (PPIs) is promoting the development of methods for predicting protein interaction network. Although high-throughput technologies have generated considerable PPIs data for various organisms, it has inevitable drawbacks such as high cost, time consumption, and inherently high false positive rate. For this reason, computational methods are drawing more and more attention for predicting PPIs. In this study, we report a computational method for predicting PPIs using the information of protein sequences. The main improvements come from adopting a novel protein sequence representation by using discrete cosine transform (DCT) on substitution matrix representation (SMR) and from using weighted sparse representation based classifier (WSRC). When performing on the PPIs dataset of Yeast, Human, and H. pylori, we got excellent results with average accuracies as high as 96.28%, 96.30%, and 86.74%, respectively, significantly better than previous methods. Promising results obtained have proven that the proposed method is feasible, robust, and powerful. To further evaluate the proposed method, we compared it with the state-of-the-art support vector machine (SVM) classifier. Extensive experiments were also performed in which we used Yeast PPIs samples as training set to predict PPIs of other five species datasets.
