The deep graph convolutional network (GraphPPIS) for predicting protein-protein interacting sites significantly improves prediction performance and captures spatial correlation better. The results highlight the importance of spatially neighboring residues for interacting site prediction.
Motivation: Protein-protein interactions (PPI) play crucial roles in many biological processes, and identifying PPI sites is an important step for mechanistic understanding of diseases and design of novel drugs. Since experimental approaches for PPI site identification are expensive and time-consuming, many computational methods have been developed as screening tools. However, these methods are mostly based on neighbored features in sequence, and thus limited to capture spatial information. Results: We propose a deep graph-based framework deep Graph convolutional network for Protein-Protein-Interacting Site prediction (GraphPPIS) for PPI site prediction, where the PPI site prediction problem was converted into a graph node classification task and solved by deep learning using the initial residual and identity mapping techniques. We showed that a deeper architecture (up to eight layers) allows significant performance improvement over other sequence-based and structure-based methods by more than 12.5% and 10.5% on AUPRC and MCC, respectively. Further analyses indicated that the predicted interacting sites by GraphPPIS are more spatially clustered and closer to the native ones even when false-positive predictions are made. The results highlight the importance of capturing spatially neighboring residues for interacting site prediction.
