Dependencies

DeepFRI is tested to work under Python 3.7.

The required dependencies for DeepFRI are TensorFlow, Biopython and scikit-learn. To install all dependencies run:

pip install .

Protein function prediction

To predict protein functions use predict.py script with the following options:

• seq str, Protein sequence as a string
• cmap str, Name of a file storing a protein contact map and sequence in *.npz file format (with the following numpy array variables: C_alpha, seqres. See examples/pdb_cmaps/)
• pdb str, Name of a PDB file (cleaned)
• pdb_dir str, Directory with cleaned PDB files (see examples/pdb_files/)
• cmap_csv str, Filename of the catalogue (in *.csv file format) containg mapping between protein names and directory with *.npz files (see examples/catalogue_pdb_chains.csv)
• fasta_fn str, Fasta filename (see examples/pdb_chains.fasta)
• model_config str, JSON file with model filenames (see trained_models/)
• ont str, Ontology (mf - Molecular Function, bp - Biological Process, cc - Cellular Component, ec - Enzyme Commission)
• output_fn_prefix str, Output filename (sampe prefix for predictions/saliency will be used)
• verbose bool, Whether or not to print function prediction results
• saliency bool, Whether or not to compute class activaton maps (outputs a *.json file)

Generated files (see examples/outputs/):

• output_fn_prefix_MF_predictions.csv Predictions in the *.csv file format with columns: Protein, GO-term/EC-number, Score, GO-term/EC-number name
• output_fn_prefix_MF_pred_scores.json Predictions in the *.json file with keys: pdb_chains, Y_hat, goterms, gonames
• output_fn_prefix_MF_saliency_maps.json JSON file storing a dictionary of saliency maps for each predicted function of every protein

DeepFRI offers 6 possible options for predicting functions. See examples below.

Option 1: predicting functions of a protein from its contact map

Example: predicting MF-GO terms for Parvalbumin alpha protein using its sequence and contact map (PDB: 1S3P):

>> python predict.py --cmap ./examples/pdb_cmaps/1S3P-A.npz -ont mf --verbose

Output:

Protein GO-term/EC-number Score GO-term/EC-number name
query_prot GO:0005509 0.99824 calcium ion binding

Option 2: predicting functions of a protein from its sequence

Example: predicting MF-GO terms for Parvalbumin alpha protein using its sequence (PDB: 1S3P):

>> python predict.py --seq 'SMTDLLSAEDIKKAIGAFTAADSFDHKKFFQMVGLKKKSADDVKKVFHILDKDKDGFIDEDELGSILKGFSSDARDLSAKETKTLMAAGDKDGDGKIGVEEFSTLVAES' -ont mf --verbose

Data

Data (train and validation) used for training DeepFRI model are provided as TensorFlow-specific TFRecord files and they can be downloaded from:

Pretrained models

Pretrained models can be downloaded from:

• Models (use these models if you run DeepFRI on GPU)
