Abstract

The protein secondary structures are important information for studying the evolution, structure and function of proteins. Recently, deep learning methods have been actively applied to predict the secondary structure of proteins using only protein sequence information. In these methods, widely used input features are protein profiles transformed from protein sequences. In this paper, to obtain an effective protein profiles, protein profiles were constructed using protein sequence search methods such as PSI-BLAST and HHblits. We adjust the similarity threshold for determining the homologous protein sequence used in constructing the protein profile and the number of iterations of the profile construction using the homologous sequence information. We used the protein profiles as inputs to convolutional neural networks and recurrent neural networks to predict the secondary structures. The protein profile that was created by adding evolutionary information only once was effective.

단백질의 이차구조는 단백질의 진화, 구조, 기능을 연구하는데 중요한 정보이다. 단백질 서열 정보만을 이용하여 단백질의 이차 구조를 예측하는 분야에 심층 학습 방법들이 최근 들어 활발히 적용되고 있다. 이러한 방법에서 널리 사용되는 입력은 단백질 서열을 변환하여 만들어진 단백질 프로파일이다. 본 논문에서는 효과적인 단백질 프로파일을 얻기 위하여 단백질 서열 탐색 방법으로 PSI-BLAST와 더불어서 HHblits를 사용하였다. 단백질 프로파일의 구성에 사용되는 상동 단백질 서열을 결정하기 위한 유사도 문턱치와 상동 단백질 서열 정보를 반복적으로 사용하는 회수를 조절하였다. 합성곱 신경망과 순환 신경망을 사용하여 단백질 이차구조를 예측하였는데, 진화적 정보를 한번만 추가하여 만들어진 단백질 프로파일이 효과적이었다.
