A generative deep-learning model called ProGen is capable of designing artificial proteins with specific enzymatic activities. This model was trained on a large dataset of protein sequences and can generate protein sequences with predictable functions. ProGen can be further fine-tuned to improve the controllable generation of proteins from specific families, and artificial proteins generated by ProGen showed similar catalytic efficiencies to natural lysozymes.
A generative deep-learning model designs artificial proteins with desired enzymatic activities. Deep-learning language models have shown promise in various biotechnological applications, including protein design and engineering. Here we describe ProGen, a language model that can generate protein sequences with a predictable function across large protein families, akin to generating grammatically and semantically correct natural language sentences on diverse topics. The model was trained on 280 million protein sequences from >19,000 families and is augmented with control tags specifying protein properties. ProGen can be further fine-tuned to curated sequences and tags to improve controllable generation performance of proteins from families with sufficient homologous samples. Artificial proteins fine-tuned to five distinct lysozyme families showed similar catalytic efficiencies as natural lysozymes, with sequence identity to natural proteins as low as 31.4%. ProGen is readily adapted to diverse protein families, as we demonstrate with chorismate mutase and malate dehydrogenase.
