Accurate classification of membrane protein types based on sequence and evolutionary information using deep learning.

BMC bioinformatics
BACKGROUND: Membrane proteins play an important role in the life activities of organisms. Knowing membrane protein types provides clues for understanding the structure and function of proteins. Though various computational methods for predicting memb...

Propofol affects the growth and metastasis of pancreatic cancer via ADAM8.

Pharmacological reports : PR
BACKGROUND: Anesthesia is a major component of surgery and recently considered an important regulator of cell phenotypes. Here we aimed to investigate propofol, an anesthesia drug, in suppressing pancreatic cancer (PDAC), focusing on A disintegrin an...

Distance-based protein folding powered by deep learning.

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America
Direct coupling analysis (DCA) for protein folding has made very good progress, but it is not effective for proteins that lack many sequence homologs, even coupled with time-consuming conformation sampling with fragments. We show that we can accurate...

Efficient utilization on PSSM combining with recurrent neural network for membrane protein types prediction.

Computational biology and chemistry
Position-Specific Scoring Matrix (PSSM) is an excellent feature extraction method that was proposed early in protein classifying prediction, but within the restriction of feature shape in PSSM, researchers make a lot attempts to process it so that PS...

Prediction of ATP-binding sites in membrane proteins using a two-dimensional convolutional neural network.

Journal of molecular graphics & modelling
Membrane proteins, the most important drug targets, account for around 30% of total proteins encoded by the genome of living organisms. An important role of these proteins is to bind adenosine triphosphate (ATP), facilitating crucial biological proce...

Effect of potential probiotic Leuconostoc mesenteroides FB111 in prevention of cholesterol absorption by modulating NPC1L1/PPARα/SREBP-2 pathways in epithelial Caco-2 cells.

International microbiology : the official journal of the Spanish Society for Microbiology
Mustard kimchi consumption reduces cholesterol levels in rats. To identify lactic acid bacteria (LAB) in kimchi which exert this effect, 20 LAB isolates were evaluated for cholesterol reduction in an in vitro screen. The FB111 strain showed the highe...

Higher serum levels of fibroblast growth factor 21 in old patients with cachexia.

Nutrition (Burbank, Los Angeles County, Calif.)
OBJECTIVE: Fibroblast growth factor (FGF)21 is promptly induced by short fasting in animal models to regulate glucose and fat metabolism. Data on FGF21 in humans are inconsistent and FGF21 has not yet been investigated in old patients with cachexia, ...

Predicting membrane protein types by incorporating a novel feature set into Chou's general PseAAC.

Journal of theoretical biology
Membrane proteins are vital type of proteins that serve as channels, receptors and energy transducers in a cell. They perform various important functions, which are mainly associated with their types. They are also attractive targets of drug discover...

iMem-2LSAAC: A two-level model for discrimination of membrane proteins and their types by extending the notion of SAAC into chou's pseudo amino acid composition.

Journal of theoretical biology
Membrane proteins execute significant roles in cellular processes of living organisms, ranging from cell signaling to cell adhesion. As a major part of a cell, the identification of membrane proteins and their functional types become a challenging jo...
