Abstract
Protein phosphorylation is one of the key mechanism in prokaryotes and eukaryotes and is responsible for various biological functions such as protein degradation, intracellular localization, the multitude of cellular processes, molecular association, cytoskeletal dynamics, and enzymatic inhibition/activation. Phosphohistidine (PhosH) has a key role in a number of biological processes, including central metabolism to signalling in eukaryotes and bacteria. Thus, identification of phosphohistidine sites in a protein sequence is crucial, and experimental identification can be expensive, time-taking, and laborious. To address this problem, here, we propose a novel computational model namely iPhosH-PseAAC for prediction of phosphohistidine sites in a given protein sequence using pseudo amino acid composition (PseAAC), statistical moments, and position relative features. The results of the proposed predictor are validated through self-consistency testing, 10-fold cross-validation, and jackknife testing. The self-consistency validation gave the 100 percent accuracy, whereas, for cross-validation, the accuracy achieved is 94.26 percent. Moreover, jackknife testing gave 97.07 percent accuracy for the proposed model. Thus, the proposed model iPhosH-PseAAC for prediction of iPhosH site has the great ability to predict the PhosH sites in given proteins.
