This article presents a new deep learning framework that combines the discrete Hilbert transform with deep neural networks to predict protein-protein interactions in plants. Experimental results demonstrate its good predictive performance and efficiency, as well as its generalizability when tested on multiple plant datasets, highlighting its potential as a promising computational model.
Protein-protein interactions (PPIs) in plants play an essential role in the regulation of biological processes. However, traditional experimental methods are expensive, time-consuming, and need sophisticated technical equipment. These drawbacks motivated the development of novel computational approaches to predict PPIs in plants. In this article, a new deep learning framework, which combined the discrete Hilbert transform (DHT) with deep neural networks (DNN), was presented to predict PPIs in plants. To be more specific, plant protein sequences were first transformed as a position-specific scoring matrix (PSSM). Then, DHT was employed to capture features from the PSSM. To improve the prediction accuracy, we used the singular value decomposition algorithm to decrease noise and reduce the dimensions of the feature descriptors. Finally, these feature vectors were fed into DNN for training and predicting. When performing our method on three plant PPI datasets Arabidopsis thaliana, maize, and rice, we achieved good predictive performance with average area under receiver operating characteristic curve values of 0.8369, 0.9466, and 0.9440, respectively. To fully verify the predictive ability of our method, we compared it with different feature descriptors and machine learning classifiers. Moreover, to further demonstrate the generality of our approach, we also test it on the yeast and human PPI dataset. Experimental results anticipated that our method is an efficient and promising computational model for predicting potential plant-protein interacted pairs.
