Abstract
Identification of novel photosynthetic proteins is important for understanding and improving photosynthetic efficiency. Synergistically, genome neighborhood can provide additional useful information to identify photosynthetic proteins. We, therefore, expected that applying a computational approach, particularly machine learning (ML) with the genome neighborhood-based feature should facilitate the photosynthetic function assignment. Our results revealed a functional relationship between photosynthetic genes and their conserved neighboring genes observed by ‘Phylo score’, indicating their functions could be inferred from the genome neighborhood profile. Therefore, we created a new method for extracting patterns based on the genome neighborhood network (GNN) and applied them for the photosynthetic protein classification using ML algorithms. Random forest (RF) classifier using genome neighborhood-based features achieved the highest accuracy up to 87% in the classification of photosynthetic proteins and also showed better performance (Mathew’s correlation coefficient = 0.718) than other available tools including the sequence similarity search (0.447) and ML-based method (0.361). Furthermore, we demonstrated the ability of our model to identify novel photosynthetic proteins compared to the other methods. Our classifier is available at http://bicep2.kmutt.ac.th/photomod_standalone, https://bit.ly/2S0I2Ox and DockerHub: https://hub.docker.com/r/asangphukieo/photomod. © 2020, The Author(s).
